Episode Transcript

Maddie (00:13):
9-1-1.
What's your emergency?

Ellen (00:17):
Welcome back to that Weoo show, a podcast where we watch and discuss
episodes of the ABC show, 9-1-1.
I'm Ellen.

Alice (00:24):
I'm Alice,

Bex (00:25):
and I'm Bex.

Ellen (00:27):
Thank you everyone for listening today, and I hope everyone is doing
really well wherever you are aroundthe world, especially people who have
been leaving comments and, sharinglike our posts on social media.
Thanks very much for that.
Um, Bex, I believe we had someonewho had a, a shout out for us this
week that we need to shout out back.

Bex (00:48):
Yes.
A very special shout out to Sol on TikTok.
Uh, their username is @317sol.
They made a lovely video where theywere shouting out their favorite 9-1-1
podcasts, which happened to includeour little podcast in the list, um,
along with, um, other great podcastssuch as Station 118, the Buddie

(01:11):
podcast, and the First Respondcast.
I think I got all those right.
Um, so thank you so much for listening.

Ellen (01:20):
Thank you.

Bex (01:20):
Thank you so much for, uh, sharing with TikTok how much
you love all of these podcasts.
We really do appreciate it.
Um, we don't have a Kofi or a Patreon.
We rely on people like yousharing, sharing our podcast
to get our message out.
So thank you very much.

(01:42):
Yeah.

Ellen (01:43):
And we'll try and include lots of Australian random information for
you, just 'cause we know you love it.

Alice (01:49):
Yeah, I was glad to hear that someone liked it because I really enjoy
talking about random Australian things,so while also questioning Americans.

Ellen (01:57):
Yes.
Okay.
So, um, Alice, you wanna tellus what happened last time?

Alice (02:02):
Yeah, so last week on 9-1-1, the 118 celebrated Christmas at work.
And while Bobby was given theall-clear from radiation poisoning,
Michael was given his own health news.
He has a brain tumor.
That's right.
It was all sad, sad and happy,very up and down last week.

Bex (02:20):
Then the show went on, uh, hiatus.
And this episode, which is episode 11,airs three months later in March of 2020,
um, and it is called "Seize the Day".
And the official promo that was sent outsays that the 118 responds to a skydiving
trip gone wrong, a bank rep injured in ahome repossession, and a lover assistant

(02:45):
whose lunch run ends in disaster.
Meanwhile, Athena and the familycome to term with Michael's
difficult health decision.
And Chimney's half brother fromKorea, guest star John Harlan Kim
unexpectedly shows up on his doorstep.

Alice (03:02):
Yeah, we have another Aussie joining us.
So exciting.

Bex (03:06):
And our triggers for this week, if I can find them.
We have discussion of brain, tumorand cancer and said treatment.
We have the triggerwanting to just says fish.
Just says fish.
Um, I'm going to assume that it'sthe choking on the fish that is the

(03:26):
particular trigger, not the existenceof fish and the sport of fishing.

Ellen (03:30):
Yeah, there's a, however, it's a catching of a fish.
Well,

Bex (03:33):
if it's the catching of it's a catch and release.
But if it's still, if it's the catchingof fish that is an issue for you.
There is a scene in herethat you do not wanna watch.
Um, there is the discussion of fosterparenting positive in this instance.

And we have, my favorite: gore, um, in this instance (03:49):
undefined
referring to is evisceration.
And, uh,

Ellen (03:58):
this episode's got it all,

Bex (03:59):
very,
very, very prominent evisceration.
They do not hide the evisceration.
It's great.
I just keep thinking of the littleTelevision Without Pity, Demian going
"Gore!" Every time I see that word.
Have I not told that story?

Ellen (04:19):
No,

Alice (04:20):
I don't think so.

Bex (04:22):
So, so back in the day and like back in the day, I'm like talking
about the early two thousands.
Um, there was a, there was a websitecalled Television Without Pity.
All they did was like recaps for TV shows.

Ellen (04:33):
Right.

Bex (04:33):
And every, uh, recapper had their own kind of style and the
Supernatural recapper had a dragon intheir little, um, like profile picture.
Yeah.
So the recapper started incorporatingthe dragon as a character who was
watching the episodes with him.
And every time there, it's beingSupernatural when you know, you know what

(04:56):
happens in the episodes, anytime therewas any kind of blood or guts or gore,
we would just get all caps italicized,an entire stream of exclamation points
of this dragon screaming "GOOOORE!!!".
He loved the gore.

Ellen (05:13):
Right.

Bex (05:14):
So that's just,

Alice (05:15):
yeah.
You definitely have nottold that story before.

Ellen (05:17):
No, I have never heard of that before.

Bex (05:21):
I really wish you can't find any of the recaps.
Television Without Pity went, um,they took it off, they took it off the
internet and they didn't archive anything.
Oh.
I really wish I could wa I reallywish I could read Demian's,
um, Supernatural recaps again.
'cause they were so good.
Raul.
The Dragon's name was Raul.

(05:41):
Okay.

Alice (05:43):
Wow.
It's so sad so much from like the early.
Yeah.
Like when, um, supernatural was firstairing, so much of that stuff's gone now.
Yeah.

Ellen (05:54):
It was a long time ago.

Alice (05:55):
Like the forum?
Yeah, like the forum that I usedto go on where like, I, when I
first was watching Supernatural,so when season two was airing, like
that's, that does not exist anymore.
And it just like, it's so sad.
'cause I had friends on therethat I've lost contact with.

Ellen (06:09):
Yeah.

Alice (06:11):
And I'm just like, oh man.

Bex (06:12):
So much fandom stuff just gets lost.

Alice (06:16):
Yep.
Like these days more is savedand backed up other places.
Um, but back then, like we had no idea.

Bex (06:24):
Probably because the elders of the fandom are thinking back.
Like, we remember back inthe day, we lost everything.
So we are gonna saveevery single thing we can.

Alice (06:33):
Exactly.

Ellen (06:34):
Yeah.
But if it's on Tumblr, good luckever finding it again because

Bex (06:38):
Oh good lord.

Ellen (06:38):
Their search function is just absolutely useless.

Bex (06:41):
It's terrible.

Ellen (06:43):
Anyway.
9-1-1.

Bex (06:46):
Yes.
All right,

Ellen (06:47):
let's talk about this episode.

Bex (06:48):
Let's leaving, leaving Supernatural behind.
Coming back to 9-1-1.

Ellen (06:52):
That's old news.

Bex (06:54):
This episode, "Seize the Day" was written by Lindsay, um, Beaulieu, I
hope I'm pronouncing that name correct.
It looks very French, um, whopreviously wrote "Rage", um, and
directed by Sarah, whose name Idon't recognize as a director.

Ellen (07:15):
Sarah Boyd.
Yeah.

Bex (07:16):
Um, although I did like your comment in the group chat when
you were watching this, that youthought that this episode should
have been written by Kristen Reidel.

Ellen (07:22):
Well, it just had her, her kind of, uh, style in it.
Like, you know, family oriented,

Bex (07:30):
the constant and the constant repeating of the episode title?

Ellen (07:31):
the constant repeating of the episode title all the way through.
I was just like, yeah, did she write this?
No.
It was someone else.
Amazing.

Bex (07:39):
Someone else.
But the style has seepedinto the writer's room.

Ellen (07:45):
But we do start at an airfield with a mother and daughter
going on an adventure together.
They're gonna do skydiving.
And the the daughter is not into it.

Alice (07:58):
Not even a little bit.

Ellen (07:59):
No.
No.
But her mom is like, "Come on,we've, we've gotta, you know,
this is on the bucket list and we,we need to do it. We've gotta do
stuff together and seize the day."

Bex (08:09):
I love that her daughter's just like, "I swear Dad dying made you weird."

Ellen (08:17):
Yeah.
She suddenly decided she'sgotta do all the crazy things.
After that, I guess

Bex (08:23):
She said to, they made a pact to spend more mother time together.
Although the daughter Lizzie questionswhether jumping out of a plane
is like mother-daughter activity.
Um, but

Ellen (08:35):
hey, she's got a name!

Bex (08:37):
The daughter, yes.
She's Lizzie.

Ellen (08:38):
Mom didn't get a name.

Bex (08:39):
The mother did not get a name.
Um, in this episode, pretty muchevery single character gets a name
in the closed captions, but not allof them get named in the episode.
So I'm sticking by my rule.
If they get named in dialogue or ifthere is a way that I can find out
their name, then I will use their name.

(09:01):
Otherwise, they are just withwhatever title I can come up with.
Um, so the mother counters her daughter'scomplaints that, you know, skydiving is
not exactly something that they, thatshe considers as mother daughter activity
with, "Well, it's not as though I havegrandchildren to keep me busy," and then

(09:25):
immediately starts trying to get thosegrandchildren by wondering if their
skydiving instructor Stefan is single.

Alice (09:32):
Yeah.
Poor Lizzie's just like mortifiedand immediately distracts Stefan.
And it's just like,"Oh, is that our plane?"

Bex (09:41):
Pay no attention to the crazy lady.
Uh, that is indeed their plane.
And we cut to the plane taxiing and takingoff and then reaching cruising attitude.

Alice (09:51):
Yeah.
So mom's very enthusiastic about this.
Is she even, she even helps open the door.

Bex (09:56):
She's

Alice (09:56):
even

Bex (09:56):
helping Stefan open the hatch.

Alice (10:00):
Um, meanwhile Lizzie's standing like way back and is like, uh, no thanks.

Ellen (10:04):
The whole back of the plane opens up.
Like I don't, I've never been skydivingbefore, but is this like the type of
plane that's always used to skydiving?
'cause that looks terrifying.

Bex (10:15):
It looks like one of those like military cargo planes.

Alice (10:19):
Yeah.
But much smaller.

Ellen (10:20):
Yeah.
Or like a, a paratrooper type thing thatthey fall out of the back of, you know?

Bex (10:26):
Yeah.
Um, I'm very interested as to whatkind of like skydiving this is.
'cause whenever I've seen peoplego skydiving, it's usually tandem.

Ellen (10:38):
Yeah.
I think when you're a beginneryou have to do tandem.
Right?

Bex (10:41):
But it's like, this is Stefan with the two women and it doesn't
look like it's gonna be tandem.
It looks like they're allsort of going to jump solo.

Alice (10:49):
Yeah.
They're all just bailing out themselves.
Yeah.

Bex (10:51):
I don't know the, the, whether that's safe.
I mean it's a moot point 'cause wedon't get that far in the story.
Nobody's going skydiving,

Ellen (11:00):
They don't get to jump out of the plane.

Bex (11:03):
No.
Because all of a sudden something inthe plane, clangs and bangs and the
plane drops, which sends everybodyin the back who is not strapped in,
like slamming up into the ceilingand then back down onto the floor.
It looks like Stefan gets knocked outand he is, he falls and lands right on

(11:23):
the edge of the hatch and Lizzie tries tograb him and pull him back, but instead
she grabs his parachute and startshauling the parachute out of his pack.
And then I don't know how shedoes it, but the parachute gets
wedged in a metal rack on the side,

Ellen (11:43):
thankfully

Bex (11:43):
of the, I, I don't know how she did it, but it gets wrapped around this rack
and then the turbulence, Stefan falls outof the plane, but the parachute gets like
he's anchored in because the parachuteis like wedged in this metal rack.
So he ended up just likeflapping around like some kind

(12:03):
of human kite under the plane.

Ellen (12:06):
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Do we know if this is actually someonedoing a stunt or like are they just
flying around with a dummy, likehanging out of the back of the plane?
I'm assuming they,

Bex (12:17):
I don't know but it, I would really hope it's a dummy.

Ellen (12:21):
Yeah.
And later when they're tryingto rescue him, like surely
that wouldn't be a real person.
It looks quite convincing.
It doesn't look like, you know,when they were, when Chim was
lifting Tommy or anything like that.
It actually looks like a person,

Bex (12:35):
it's not the pantyhose dummy being flailed around, it it might actually be
like a crash test dummy or something.
Something that's got some, alittle bit of substance to it.

Alice (12:44):
Yeah.
So all the skydiving planes,sorry, tangent already.
Yeah.
All the skydiving plans I canfind, they all go out the side.

Ellen (12:53):
Okay.
Who knows?
It, it's like, you know, dramatic.
For the drama.
Dramatic.
Yeah, for the drama.
We'll, for the drama, we'll allow it to,

Bex (13:00):
for the drama for this to happen.
It probably had to be this kind of plane.

Alice (13:03):
Yeah.
But yeah, I have no ideawhat type of plane it is.

Bex (13:08):
No, I don't care enough to look this one up either.

Ellen (13:12):
Um, the mum actually calls 9-1-1 from the plane and says, "Stefan's gone."
And the dispatcher who's not Maddiethis time asks what she means
and he's, and she's just like,he's hanging out of the plane.
So the 118 are, are sent to theairport and I'm not really sure

(13:32):
what they're intending them todo because they're on the ground
and these people are in the air.
But anyway, um, Bobby'slooking at the plane.

Bex (13:41):
I'm assuming they're there to like, mop up everything when
it all goes spectacularly wrong.

Ellen (13:47):
I mean, put the, put a fire out when they land or like, you know,
if he falls out, I, I don't know.
But anyway, it doesn't matterbecause they saved the day.
Um, Bobby is looking at the planethrough, through binoculars so
he can, he works out that theparachute is snagged on something.
Um, he, so the, the guy's hangingunderneath the plane or behind the

(14:09):
plane and, Eddie says he hadn't,hasn't said anything on the radio.
Might not be conscious, but yeah, they,they, they're trying to work out how
to get him down and Bobby has like alight bulb on his head, comes up with
this crazy plan that just might work.

Bex (14:29):
I love that he immediately looks at Buck and just goes, "how's the leg?"
And Buck's like, "Uh, screws are out.
We're feeling great." He'slike, "Great dispatch?"

Ellen (14:41):
Have I got a job for you.

Bex (14:42):
"I need to talk. I need to talk to the pilot." and then suddenly
Bobby's in the truck, they'redriving down the, uh, the runway.
He's talking to the pilot, he'stelling the pilot that he needs
the pilot to make an approach.
He needs the pilot to try and land.

(15:03):
And the pilot's like, "I'm sorry, what?
You want me to land?
Even though I've got Stefan like wavingaround underneath me?" And he goes,
"No, I just need you to get low enoughso that we can grab Stefan," and the
pilot's like, "Where are you guys?"
And then as like the seventies electricguitar kicks in, which is a song "Spirit

(15:26):
of the Sky", I had no idea what itwas called, but I recognized the music
'cause it was my dad's kind of music.
The camera pulls back from Bobby in thecab of the engine truck to reveal Buck and
Eddie anchored to the top of the truck.

Ellen (15:39):
Yes.

Alice (15:40):
Yep.
They are surfing the engine truck.

Bex (15:43):
And that is actually Ryan and Oliver up there.

Ellen (15:46):
Oh my God.
Wow.

Alice (15:47):
That's amazing.

Bex (15:49):
So the idea is that the plane is going to come down low enough
that Buck and Eddie can grab Stefan,release him from the parachute,
and then the plane can land safely.
Um, but as we see, it's not quite as easyas that because you've got, this plane
has to match the, the, uh, the speedof the truck, but it also has to be low

(16:14):
enough that they can reach Stefan, butnot so low that they don't, he doesn't
like bang him into the truck and ittakes them a couple of tries before
they, they gets it, they get it right.

Ellen (16:26):
This is an absolutely insane plan.
I Yeah.
It's like it can go so wrong.
So wrong.

Bex (16:33):
It's, it's about, I mean, this is the man who decided that the best
way to stop a runaway car was to gethim to run into the back of a truck.
So, are we really surprised?

Ellen (16:41):
Yeah.
I mean, I, I'm glad it works.
It doesn't, you know, they, they haveone approach and it, it's too high.
It's too fast.
They can't grab him or it's too high.
Like they can't, they can't getahold of him, so they try again.
Um, the pilot says something like, he'sgonna have to pla he's gonna have to

(17:03):
land if he's that low or something.

Bex (17:06):
Yeah.
Bobby wants him to use the flaps, whichmeans he's gonna put the flaps up and if
he does that, it's going to do somethingto the plane, which is gonna make it
impossible for him to regain altitude.
So once he puts the flapsup, he has to put it down.

Ellen (17:19):
So it's like this is the one chance that we have to do this right.

Bex (17:23):
Yes.

Alice (17:23):
Yeah.
No pressure.

Ellen (17:24):
Yeah.

Bex (17:24):
No,
but it works, thankfully.
Um, Buck, because he's got like go-goGadget arms, um, is able to grab
Stefan and releases his parachute.
He and Eddie pin him to the top ofthe engine pretty much with their
body weight while the plane, uh,lands in front of the truck and then

(17:47):
everybody slams on their brakes sothey don't crash into everybody else.

Ellen (17:51):
Yeah.
It's a, it's a really, uh, thetension in this scene amazing.

Bex (17:56):
It's,

Alice (17:57):
it's, it's so good

Ellen (17:58):
fun for everybody.

Alice (17:59):
The music is awesome too.

Ellen (18:00):
Yeah.

Bex (18:00):
It's an amazing scene and I really, I know we were talking, maybe it was
our season one wrap up, that likebemoaning the fact that we don't get DVDs
anymore because this, I would love tohave seen how they actually shot this.
I wanna see the behind the scenes Yeah.
Of how this worked.
How much of it was practicaleffect, how much of it was CGI?

Ellen (18:23):
Yeah.
'cause it looked very convincing.

Bex (18:25):
It was, and apparently Kenny wasn't on set with his phone to like film
tiktoks for this, so we have no idea.

Ellen (18:33):
Yeah.

Alice (18:33):
Well, TikTok wasn't really a thing back then.

Bex (18:35):
That's true.

Ellen (18:36):
When was this?
2000. I mean 2000?
2020!

Alice (18:41):
Yeah.
They were filming it at the end of 2019.

Bex (18:44):
So, I mean it was a thing, but it was like "Dancify" or something
and it was mostly young people justdoing like lip syncing and dance
challenges and things like that.
The grownups didn't get into it until likeCovid and we had nothing better to do.

Alice (18:58):
Yeah.
We had nothing else to do.
Yeah, yeah.

Bex (19:01):
Uh, but Stefan is fine.
They get him on a gurney.
Hen thinks that he's a little beatup, but she's sure that he will
be fine and he will fly again.

Ellen (19:11):
Yeah.
And Lizzie and her mom are fine,

Bex (19:15):
but Lizzie has to get one more dig in and she turns to her mother and says,
I hope that this is going to be the endof your flying and your matchmaking.
And unfortunately she says this as they'refollowing the gurney, um, towards the
ambulance, um, past Buck, Eddie and Bobbywho are hanging out on the front of the

(19:35):
engine truck and the mother stops goes,"Well, that reminds me," looks at BA
Eddie, and goes, "Are you boys single?"
And what I love is that they look at eachother like, I don't know, are we single?
And then looks back at the mother.

(19:55):
Like, I know,

Alice (19:56):
like there is no, no question answered here.

Bex (19:58):
No, they don't answer.
And I'm sure it's meant to be like, uh.
Why are we getting asked this question?

Ellen (20:03):
Yeah.
Excuse me?

Bex (20:04):
It's really weird, but like the, the clown in my head is going
like, I don't know, are we single?
Like, how are we gonna answer that?
So I did a little bit of Googlingand while this particular version
of events is not real, there havebeen multiple instances of people

(20:24):
getting their parachutes caught onairplanes and having to be rescued.

Alice (20:28):
Oh.

Bex (20:30):
Um, I think my favorite one was the one in Denmark about 10 years ago
where they just got the plane to circlewhile they covered a field in like
mattresses and foam pads and crash mats.
And then just got the planeto land as softly as it could.

Ellen (20:49):
Oh.

Bex (20:50):
And the guy got dragged like about 600 yards along these foam pads,
but suffered no serious injuries.

Ellen (20:58):
Wow.

Alice (20:58):
Yeah.
Wow.

Bex (20:59):
Um, but the one that I think that this particular emergency was based on,
happened in the forties and it was aparatrooper, um, jumping from a plane.
Um, his parachute got caught onthe wheel of the airplane and
he ended up dangling underneath.
Um, they were flying out of an airfield.

(21:19):
Another pilot had just landed, so he justlike got back in his plane and it was
one of those, it was an open top plane.
So he went up in his plane and he flewunderneath the paratroopers plane.
He had a knife in his, he had a knife.
Somebody gave him a knifejust before he took off.
Um, and so he like flew under theplane, under the paratrooper and just

(21:42):
cut his parachute cord so he coulddrop into the plane cockpit with him.

Alice (21:46):
Wow.

Ellen (21:46):
That's out of a movie.

Bex (21:49):
So that's where I think they got the inspiration from.
So it's not a firetruck, but it'sstill pretty damn impressive.

Alice (21:55):
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's insane.

Bex (21:56):
Yeah.

Ellen (21:57):
All right.
So from that heroics to avery somber Bathena family,

Bex (22:04):
it's a family meeting

Ellen (22:06):
Grant Nash family.

Bex (22:08):
And it is, it's all of them.
It's the kids, it's Bobby and Athena, andit's Michael all sitting around the table.
And the kids look nervous as hell becauseas May said, "Every time you guys sit
us down like this, it's bad news."

Ellen (22:22):
Mm-hmm.
Um, it is good and bad news, I guess.,They just want like, Athena's trying to
like prod Michael into telling them what'sgoing on, but he's not really saying.
He's not really talking.
So she's like, "We wanted to giveyou an update and what's happening
with your dad." And then she's like,looking at Michael going, well?

Bex (22:42):
Come on Dad.

Ellen (22:43):
Let's do it.
So he says the good newsis the tumor didn't grow.
But it didn't shrink either.
So he's going to have to have surgeryand Harry's like, "Brain surgery?"

Alice (22:58):
like no leg surgery for his brain.
Harry, come on.

Bex (23:02):
So it sounds like over the, the three month, um, hiatus, Michael has
been having radiation therapy in thehopes that it would shrink the tumor,
um, rather than going in and doing brainsurgery to have the, to remove the tumor.
Um, but it hasn't shrunk the tumor asmuch as they'd hoped, which kind of

(23:24):
leaves The only option is going in andremoving the tumor and then having more
radiation to get rid of what gets left.
Um, which May is absolutely horrified withthe idea that they could go in and cut out
the tumor and not get all of it and stillhave to do radiation afterwards, which no

(23:49):
one kind of explains to her exactly whatit means to be like cutting the tumor out.
So if you tried to get everything,that was a very high risk.
If they take part of Michael's brain,like the, the really important parts that
could, you know, impair his functions.
So you wanna remove as much ofthe tumor as you can without

(24:10):
actually cutting away the brain.

Alice (24:14):
Yeah.
'cause gen, like if it's just intissue they can take bigger margins.

Bex (24:19):
Oh yeah.
You just hack it out and then you canreplace the tissue with like tissue.
You do like skin grafts and Yeah.
Replacements.
You can't really do askin graft on your brain.

Alice (24:28):
Yeah.
Your brain won't grow back.

Bex (24:30):
No.

Ellen (24:32):
Yeah.
It's risky.

Bex (24:33):
Especially the position, like the part of the brain that Michael's chin is
in, it's already affecting his behavior.
So who knows what excising toomuch of that area could do.

Ellen (24:45):
But, um, they both, like both Michael and Athena try and, um, you know,
reassure them that they've got a greatteam of doctors, they're gonna trust
them, stay positive, you know, business asusual, like studying for your maths test.
Harry,

Bex (25:02):
it's apparently Michael is bribing Harry.

Ellen (25:06):
Yeah.
To get a minus or above,
he's gonna get a, a GameStop card, like a,

Bex (25:13):
it looks like it's like an all expenses paid, um, shopping,
shopping spree at GameStop.
If he gets an A minus or above, whichHarry is like, "Oh yeah, I'm gonna go
study right now," and leaves the table.
But, um, May, doesn'treally look convinced.

Alice (25:28):
Yeah.
May's very worried.

Bex (25:30):
Yeah.
I think she understands the implicationsa little bit more than Harry does.

Alice (25:35):
Yeah.
Um, but then we go toanother doctor's office

Bex (25:39):
for a completely pointless scene.

Alice (25:42):
Yeah, we're looking at x-rays of legs instead.
Um,

Ellen (25:45):
yeah.
It's a doctor who's not likeApocalypse World Michael.

Bex (25:49):
Yeah, I think Apocalypse World Michael is like an emergency doctor,
whereas this guy appears, I'm guessinghe's like orthopedics since he is

Alice (25:59):
Yeah, he's, he's a leg doctor.

Bex (26:02):
He's specifically a bone doctor and he, it looks like
he's, he's Buck's bone doctor.
And in this scene we finallywrap up, um, the, the crush
injury story arc, which makes,

Alice (26:13):
why does Buck's bone doctor sound so dirty though?
Yeah.
Um, but yeah, so they basically,they've taken the screws out of his leg.
The bone has fused nicelywhere the screws were.
There's not much scar tissue.
Basically he is in perfect health again

Bex (26:35):
and he no longer

Alice (26:36):
'cause they're like, yeah, this is too much issue.

Bex (26:38):
And he no longer needs to be on the blood thinners because it was the
screws that were causing the blood clots.
So without the screws, he's nolonger at a risk, um, of clotting.
Um, so he's in perfect health.

Alice (26:53):
Um, he does also tell his doctor that he feels good and he was
standing on top of a moving firetruckthe other day and didn't even twinge.
And the doctor was like, "yeah,I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear
that part. Uh, 'cause I don'twanna operate on your other leg."

Bex (27:07):
Yeah.
The duck is funny.
Like Buck is a little bit, um,like "That, that, that's it.
I don't need to see you again?" Andthe doctor's like, "Well not unless
you get crushed by another firetruck."

Ellen (27:21):
He's like, "uh, no thank you."

Bex (27:24):
No.

Alice (27:24):
Um, did you notice like Buck is in full, I,

Ellen (27:26):
He's like, "No offense, but I hope I never see you again."

Alice (27:29):
Buck's in a full gown for this scene.
Like, what the fuck were theychecking with him in a full gown?

Ellen (27:33):
Yeah.
They were X-raying his leg.

Bex (27:37):
That seems like... American listeners, please tell us, is it
normal for you to go to appointmentsand have to change into a gown?
Because I have to tellyou that that's not,

Ellen (27:48):
On TV, they do that a lot.
Right?

Bex (27:50):
That is not normal in Australia.
No.
You very rarely get in agown unless you've kind of
been admitted into hospital.

Alice (27:57):
Yeah.
Like I, yeah, unless you're admitted

Ellen (27:59):
or you're having some kind of, um, you know, a, like a breast scan or
something that involves having to look atareas underneath your clothes, then you
then you sometimes have to have a, a gown.

Alice (28:11):
When I had an internal ultrasound, um, to check for cysts, I had to
get put a gown on, but like I couldstill wear like a t-shirt and stuff.
Like I didn't have to be fully naked.

Ellen (28:22):
Yeah.

Bex (28:23):
But for an x-ray?

Ellen (28:24):
For ultrasound and stuff.

Alice (28:26):
Yeah.
Like the only time I've hadto put the gown on is when
I've I've done the ultrasound.

Bex (28:31):
So yes.
American listeners, please tellus, when you go to the doctors or
you go to some kind of specialists,do you usually have to gown up

Alice (28:39):
even if you're just getting your leg looked at?

Bex (28:42):
Um, so while Buck is getting a full clean bill of health, um,
it is Chimney's birthday and Maddieis making him a birthday dinner,
although she's not doing very well.

Ellen (28:58):
Yeah.
Oh, he's trying to help.
He starts chopping something up andMaddie's like, "what are you doing?"
And, um, she like tells him off forhelping because it's his birthday
and he's not allowed to help.

Bex (29:09):
I'm more concerned with the fact that the recipe calls for water for meatballs,
but then doesn't specify how much wateror when to include it in the recipe.
And so she is like forming themeatballs and then dumps like a
cup and a half worth of water ontop of the fully formed meatballs.

Alice (29:31):
Yeah.
She just has like a littlejug and just like shove, like
splashes the water on top.
It's like, what is happening?

Bex (29:37):
So I've got, I've got a Pyrex jug like that.
That's if it's the same sizeas mine, that's two cups worth.

Alice (29:43):
Yeah.

Ellen (29:44):
Yeah.

Bex (29:45):
Like, like, you know.

Alice (29:46):
But why on top of them?
I don't understand.

Bex (29:49):
I don't understand either,

Alice (29:50):
but the timing of this though was so funny because Bex and I were
discussing meatball recipes withanother friend of ours, Lucy, and
like, literally they were discussingmeatball recipes and then all of a sudden
Maddie's making meatballs with water.
And I'm just like, what?
Like, is she boiling them?

Bex (30:08):
But no, I mean, if you're gonna boil them, you boil them in the sauce.
Yeah.
And if, I mean, she says it helps themputting the water in helps the meatballs
turn in, not turn into tiny little rocks.
If anybody who's listening understands,like, I put milk in mine to moisten them,

Alice (30:28):
did we look up any water-based meatball recipes?

Bex (30:31):
I, it just horrified me too much.
I don't think I wanted to, um,

Ellen (30:36):
You know I would put, like, I put egg in and stuff
to hold it together, like I

Bex (30:40):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Put the egg into mine.

Alice (30:42):
Yeah.
Egg and breadcrumbs.

Bex (30:43):
Yeah.

Ellen (30:43):
You want it to be sticky, not, not runny.

Bex (30:46):
Like it's, I put a little bit of milk into like soften the breadcrumbs,
which just helps keep it moist.
But there is no wateranywhere near my meatballs.
And if you're gonna boil them,you would boil them in the sauce.

Ellen (31:00):
Yeah.
Strange.

Alice (31:02):
Yeah.
So I, all I've seen with, I've justGoogled "meatball recipe water",
and the only time they mentionwater is to, um, like put the
breadcrumbs in it, to soften it.

Bex (31:15):
Okay, but you don't use a fucking cup and a half.

Alice (31:17):
Oh wait, hang on.
Just in time for Father's Day,ultra tender meatballs with a
surprising magic ingredient.
Water and lots of it.
Okay, let's see.
Other great meatball recipes rely onmilk or salty cheese or even mayonnaise
for the tenderness and personality.
This one has the most unexpected secretingredient of all: lots of water.

Bex (31:36):
Okay, but define lots of water.
And when are they putting it in?

Alice (31:39):
No, they're putting it in on the mixing stage

Bex (31:41):
so they're not like, no, Jesus Christ, Maddie.
Okay.
So even if water is a part of the recipe,it's not at the stage that she's doing it.

Alice (31:53):
No, and it's, it's again to rehydrate the bread crumbs.

Bex (31:58):
The bread crumbs, okay.
Yeah.
So she's just all kinds of wrong.

Alice (32:02):
I dunno what she's doing.

Ellen (32:04):
She says, "If you wanna help, figure out how long the meatballs need to
cook in the sauce, because I would hatefor your birthday dinner to kill us." So
she is cooking the meatballs in the sauce.

Bex (32:15):
So I don't know why she puts them in the water.
I mean, it all works out becauseapparently they are very edible.
Either that or, you know, typicalnot quite teenage boy, but still
growing boy is shoveling them down.
Um, but yeah, this, this just not good.

Ellen (32:34):
Um, we're just gonna have to try making these
meatballs with heaps of water.

Bex (32:37):
No!

Ellen (32:37):
And see the results.

Bex (32:42):
Not in this economy.
I'm not spending that much onmince and eggs just for something
that's completely inedible.

Ellen (32:48):
That's fair enough.

Alice (32:50):
Anyway, yeah.
So Maddie sucks at cooking.
Um, Chimney also used to suck at cooking.
She, so maybe Maddie needs to,to hang out with, with Bobby.

Ellen (32:54):
She's following

Alice (32:55):
a recipe

Ellen (32:55):
apparently.
So, I don't know.

Bex (32:58):
Chim comes back from the bedroom where he has located his phone, discovered
that he has a voicemail from his father,which he is absolutely shocked at because
his father never remembers his birthday.
And just as he starts to listen.

Alice (33:14):
Yeah.
He's so excited, it's so sad.

Bex (33:15):
Just as he starts to listen to the voicemail, there is a knock on the door.
So, Maddie says, "no, you go listen toyour voicemail. I'll answer the door." And
she opens the door and there is a youngKorean man standing there, and they're
both just sort of staring at each other.

Ellen (33:34):
She's like, "Hello, can I help you?"

Bex (33:38):
Uh, the young man asks if Howard is home, and Maddie's like, "Yeah, he is.
And like, who are you?
Why are you standing at our doorstep?"And the young man introduces himself
as Albert Maddie's like, "okay, cool.
Are you a friend of Chim's?"And Chim appears behind her and

(33:59):
says, "No, that's my brother."

Alice (34:07):
What a shock.
Considering the synopsis didn'ttell us anything about this.

Bex (34:11):
Oh, no.
Complete surprise.
And so we cut to a few minutes laterwhere Albert is shoving meatballs
and garlic bread in his face.

Ellen (34:20):
The synopsis did tell us about this.

Alice (34:23):
No, that's what I was saying.
It wasn't a surprise.

Ellen (34:25):
I was like, hang on a minute.
I'm sure I remember thesynopsis saying that.
Okay.

Bex (34:28):
Yeah, I mean they even said like, Albert played by
John Harlan Kim, just, you know.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.

Ellen (34:34):
Chimney's half brother.
So no surprises.
Okay.
Alright.

Bex (34:39):
And I mean, we, the audience knew that he has a half brother because we've
met Albert before, but Maddie definitelyhad no idea that Albert existed.
So I, yeah.
So either Maddie's meatballs turnedout okay even after she like drowned
them, or Albert is starving aftertaking a, I don't even wanna think
about how long flight from Korea.

(35:00):
Um, or he's just a growing boyand growing boys just eat a lot.
Mm-hmm.
Or a combination of all three.
I don't know.
Uh, but he's very polite and he tellsMaddie that she's an amazing cook.
He wouldn't say that if he saw theway she was making the meatballs,
but based off the end result,apparently she's an amazing cook.

Ellen (35:23):
Yeah.
I didn't realize until this pointthat Chim and Albert had never
actually met each other before.
When Maddie actually says, I can'tbelieve you guys have never met before.
And I'm like, I can't believeI've never met before either.
I didn't know that.

Bex (35:36):
Well, no, because Albert's been in Korea and Chim's been
in America the entire time.

Ellen (35:42):
Yeah.
And 'cause his dad went back to, I thinkwe find, like it's explained later,
I mean, to me, who couldn't rememberit much about the previous episode
because his dad went, his dad leftChim and his mom in America and went
back to Korea and had his other family.
So

Bex (35:59):
that started a whole new family.
Yeah.
And so Chim has like seen Albert throughSkype and we get told that he got
photos sent to him by his stepmother,but yeah, they've never met in person.

Ellen (36:13):
Yeah.
And he said, Albert says, "I'm sorry aboutyour birthday. If I'd known, I would've
brought you something besides myself."
It's like, oh, he's crashedhis birthday dinner.

Bex (36:23):
Yeah.

Ellen (36:24):
But apparently the message that the, their father had left for
Chim was not a birthday message.
It was, um, all he couldtalk about was the fact that
Albert had run away from home.

Bex (36:37):
And Albert just says like, "I did not run away." And both of the
grownups just look at him like, really?
It's like, "Yeah, okay.
I ran away, but not from him.
I ran away from him.
You know how he is." AndChim's like, "Yeah, no, I don't
really know who, how he is."

Ellen (36:53):
Yeah, it's funny, I was expecting, like, I, I, I guess I,
I know now that this, this actor isAustralian, so he's doing really well
with a, with a foreign accent already.
But, um, to my ears anyway, um,I was kind of expecting him to
have less of an American accentand more of a Korean accent.

Bex (37:13):
And I think they're probably walking a very fine line on how
much of an accent John uses.
So obviously he's, he is, for those ofyou who don't know, John is Australian.
Yeah.
Um, so.
He's, he's got an Australian, normallyhe has an Australian accent, like

(37:34):
it's a little bit American ish becausehe spends so much time in America.
He, most of his workthese days is in America.
Um, so it's kind of like Oliver,you know, Oliver's mostly British
but sort of slides into American.

Alice (37:46):
Yeah.
Occasionally American comes outand we're like, what was that?

Bex (37:50):
So yeah, John's already putting on an accent, but I guess they're, they're
trying, they had to decide how much ofa "English is not my first language"
kind of accent they wanted to put onbecause there is the risk of just going
completely stereotyped and being very,very racist in their depiction of Albert.

(38:11):
Um.
So they've gone with the American accentas though he's learned from an American
speaker or from American television,but a very formal, very stilted English.
So he doesn't use contractions.
He's very, uh, almost very flat inhis, the way he speaks at times.

(38:35):
So apparently he hasgraduated from university.
The reason that he ran was he's graduatedfrom university and he apparently
has to go to graduate school now.
Um, but he does not want to do either.
He does nott wanna go to graduateschool, or he doesn't wanna go
to graduate school to study whathis father wants him to study.
Um, so that's why he ran.

(38:58):
He ran to strike out on his own tostop living in his father's shadow.

Ellen (39:05):
Now, Chim can see the family resemblance.

Bex (39:07):
Yeah, I like that.
That's like, yeah.
Maddie asks Albert, "So what do youwant to do?" And Albert's just like,
"I have no idea." And Chim's like, "Oh,well there's a family resemblance."

Ellen (39:18):
Yes.

Bex (39:19):
So he's going to strike out on his own onto Chim's couch.
Which appar... which Maddie Green Lights.

Ellen (39:26):
Only if it isn't any trouble?
Yeah.
Maddie's just like,yeah, of course you can.
It's fine.

Bex (39:30):
Maddie, where are you living that you can immediately just say that it's okay.
Like is she living withChim at this point?

Alice (39:37):
I don't know, 'cause she got out of the...

Bex (39:40):
yeah, she got out of the murder dome.
But now where is, wheredid she end up living?

Ellen (39:45):
Well, we don't, we don't, we never see her anywhere else, so, no.

Bex (39:49):
Yeah.
Maybe she, she seems to spend alot of time at Chimney's place.

Ellen (39:53):
Yeah.

Alice (39:54):
Interesting.
It's almost like they're dating.

Ellen (39:56):
I thought they agreed they were dating.

Alice (39:59):
I think they are now.

Bex (40:00):
Yeah.
So after they've, um, resolved thatissue, uh, Maddie proposes a toast and
everybody also raise your glasses becausewe're gonna get the episode title sort
of, um, and they toast to seizing theday and Chim gets up to get himself some

(40:22):
more wine and sort of mutters bitterlyto himself and seizing my birthday.
Yeah.

Alice (40:26):
Chim's not too impressed.

Ellen (40:29):
Okay, so we're going to the fishing.
So this man and hiswife, Roger and Cheryl,

Bex (40:36):
we actually get names.

Ellen (40:37):
Yes, yes.
The man is having, and the Rogeris having a great time fishing in
this catch and release lake, and

Bex (40:47):
I think Cheryl's having a great time sitting and reading.

Ellen (40:49):
Cheryl.
Yeah, she's sitting in the sun.
Not really interested in fishing,but she's having a nice time.

Bex (40:58):
It's, she's so engrossed in her book.
That, uh, like Roger catches a troutand he's all, you know, really excited.
There's something about it beinga rainbow trout and it's so good.
There's gonna be a potof gold at the end of it.
And she's just like, "Uhhuh honey, that'snice." Doesn't even look up from a book.
Um, and he gets pouty.
He's like, but, and "mom,you weren't even looking!"

(41:23):
Like he said,

Ellen (41:25):
it's like, "I thought we were doing this together?"

Bex (41:27):
Together.
And she's like, "no, I said that I wouldcome with you. I did not say, Roger,
please teach me how to catch a fishthat I'm not even allowed to keep."
And I feel so much for Cheryl becauseI have been in this situation.

Ellen (41:42):
Oh,

Bex (41:43):
mm-hmm.
My ex was an angler.
He loved to go fishing.
Um, and in the early, early stageof our relationship, like he
begged me to come fishing with him.
So he took me out to a laketo teach me how to fish in.
The only thing I caughtwere weeds and algae.
And I was fucking miserable.
Oh, no.
I would have, I would've, I would'vequite happily have gone with him and like

(42:05):
sat and read a book while he did that.
But no, he insisted that I actuallytry and cast and I hated it, so

Ellen (42:13):
That's fair.
I'm with Cheryl on this one.
It can be very boring.

Alice (42:18):
It's so hard to, I used to go out in the boat and I'd just
be sitting up the front reading.
Uh, they'd be like, look at that.
And I'm like, sh

Bex (42:29):
Apparently Cheryl is better than all of us.
'cause she puts down her book whenRoger tells her to seize the day.

Ellen (42:37):
Ah, yeah.

Bex (42:38):
And allows him to show her how to bait her hook and how to cast.
And she even catches afish at the end of it.
Um, although while he was catchingamazing rainbow trout, she just
catches his tiny little catfish.

Ellen (42:57):
It is a really tiny fish.

Bex (42:59):
It's, I think Cheryl, even there's a line where she comments that
the bait was bigger than the fish.
Yeah.
Um, and she wants to, she's taken it offthe hook and she's about to throw it back
and Roger's like, "No, no, no, no. Weneed to get a picture of it, you know,
document it, picture it didn't happen."
Um, and so Cheryl's like holds up thefish with this really sort of dubious

(43:20):
look in her face and Roger's like,"No, no, no. That's not how you do
it." And so he does like the typicalman on dating app holding a fish pose.

Ellen (43:28):
Oh yeah.

Bex (43:31):
Um, which is, you know, only sort of stage one.
Stage two is he tips his head back andholds the fish above his open mouth,
like he's about to eat the fish.
Um, which jokes on him becausehe does end up eating the fish.
Ugh.
Because the fish slips from his fingersstraight into his open mouth and

(43:51):
because of like the angle of his throatis completely open and the fish just
slides straight down his, his throat

Alice (44:01):
gross.

Bex (44:03):
So Cheryl of course calls 9-1-1 and Maddie answers this call.

Ellen (44:07):
She sends the 118 as she does.

Bex (44:10):
She swears she works on commission.
Yeah.
Chimney gotta get paid.
Does she split between Chimneyor, and Buck like 50 50?
How does that work?

Ellen (44:23):
I don't know.
They both go together, so it's fine.

Bex (44:26):
Yeah, I don't know.
But so the 118 are dispatched, uh,they, they make their way across to
where, please tell me my eyes were notdeceiving me and Cheryl was not doing
CPR by pressing on Roger's stomach.

Alice (44:41):
Oh, Jesus.

Bex (44:42):
Because that's what it looked like.

Ellen (44:46):
Uh, he's not breathing his airway's blocked.

Bex (44:49):
Well, yeah.
'cause he is got a fishlike down his throat.

Ellen (44:53):
Yeah.
And they, they sure.
Um, then that the, there wasno hook, like they got the hook
out or Cheryl got the hook out.

Bex (45:02):
Um, when they get there, Roger's mouth is like covered in blood and
there's spatters of blood on his chest.
So I'm thinking, so Bobby's obviouslythinking that the hook is caught
and it's tearing up his esophagus.
That's why his, his mouth is bloody.
Um, but turns out no, it turns outCatfish and Alice can probably tell us
if Chim is correct in this, um, catfishhave little spikes on all the fins.

(45:29):
It's,

Alice (45:30):
they do, actually, I've,

Bex (45:31):
and that's what's shredding up the throat.

Alice (45:33):
Probably, probably not all catfish, I don't know.
But um, yeah, we've like caughtsome at work in nets and they've
got stuck in the net and we'vehad to like try and get them out.

Ellen (45:43):
Ugh.
So it is actually stabbinginto his windpipe.
Ugh.

Bex (45:47):
Yeah.
Hen gets the laryngoscope down thereand she's thinking that it's either
the, um, the barbed fins or the, thegills are, um, lodged in his trachea.
Funnily enough, she's got the, likethe little camera down and the,
the fish is tail is still wagging.
Yeah, it's wiggling around.

(46:09):
And I'm seriously doubting that thatfish would still be alive at this point.
Like, how long can afish live out of water?

Ellen (46:16):
I don't know.
But,

Bex (46:17):
um,
Alice, how long can afish live out of water?
You're our, you're a petexpert, a fish expert.

Alice (46:25):
Um, yeah, it, like, it probably wouldn't still be alive,
but I don't know how long, dunnohow long it's been since it went in

Bex (46:34):
or how long it took for the 118 to respond.

Alice (46:38):
Yeah.

Bex (46:41):
Okay.
I'm,

Ellen (46:42):
I don't know how you watch this without gagging, you two.
So I was just like, oh,

Bex (46:47):
I love that they, there's a shot where Hen is successfully retrieving
the fish and she pulls it out of hismouth and they cut to one of the extras.
Who is sort of standing watchingand he turns away and vomits.
I'm just like, yes, sir. I feel that.

Alice (47:04):
Yeah.
It just, it cracked me up somuch when the tail wiggled on
the, I'm just like, yep, okay.

Ellen (47:12):
Roger, just starts coughing up blood and it's like,

Bex (47:15):
yeah, as soon as the fish is, is out of his throat, he
immediately wakes up again.
'cause apparently on these shows,you know, that's what happens.
They,

Ellen (47:24):
yeah.
You don't stay unconscious.

Bex (47:26):
No, no.
You immediately wake up.
So they decide to take him tothe er, er to make sure the fish
didn't do any serious damage.
And as they wheel Roger away, Rogersaid this, this bit's really weird and
I've never really understood it untilI, I read a little bit further ahead.
Um, he says, "This is betterthan watching paint dry."

(47:51):
It's such a random sentence.
It almost feels like a callback toa previous conversation they've had.

Ellen (47:58):
Um, does she not say anything about watching people
fish is, like watching paint dry?

Bex (48:04):
No.
There's nothing aboutthat in the first part.
But then I discovered, um, that thepromo for next week, next week's
episode specifically mentions acouple's fishing date goes awry.

Alice (48:18):
Yeah.
So this episode was actually supposedto be in next week's episode, so

Bex (48:21):
this scene was meant to be in next week's episode, and they've cut it from
that episode and put it in this one.
And I'm wondering if, if it had enwhen they shot it for the next week's
episode Fools, um, whether it was amuch, much longer scene and they have,

Ellen (48:41):
well, it only needed to be a little bit longer, just enough
for them to mention paint drying.

Bex (48:47):
Yeah.
I wonder if there was a conversationthat happened before they went
fishing that was talking aboutlike, I'd rather watch paint dry.
And then they, they cut that and,or maybe they put in something
about, you know, seizing the dayto make it fit into this episode.

Alice (49:01):
See, now I wanna know if the seize the day line seemed dubbed, hang on.
Just gotta check something.

Bex (49:09):
Or maybe they didn't shoot it until, and so they sort of rewrote it
on the, the day, like, actually no,we're not gonna put it in that episode.
We're gonna put it in this one.
So we're gonna rewrite that scene.
Um, and it was a last minuteedit, but yeah, that line, I,
I wanna know what was going on.
Like, what did we lose when they switchedit from one episode to the other?

(49:29):
And why did they switch it?
Was this episode running so shortthat they needed to put in this scene?
Yeah.
Or was next week's episode running solong that they they couldn't include it?

Ellen (49:44):
Yeah.
Well I didn't notice any extra long,like cut scenes or like, you know,
um, intermediate scenes or anything.

Bex (49:50):
Five minutes of a truck?
Yeah.
Driving around aimlessly?
No, no, this episode was packed already.
Oh.
So although we did have, like, you've gotthis one, you've got that random little
scene with Buck in the doctor's surgerythat I don't think they needed, but

Alice (50:06):
When he says seize the day, he's not on screen.

Bex (50:10):
Oh.
So maybe it was ADR.

Alice (50:12):
So I think it was ADR

Bex (50:14):
just to make it fit the episode.
Interesting.

Ellen (50:18):
They didn't have enough seizing of the day.
They needed to add some

Alice (50:22):
Yeah, I reckon it was ADR because she's looking like she's looking up
and you hear him like he's off screen.
Yeah.
And you just hear his voice say,"Come on babe. Seize the day."

Bex (50:32):
Yeah.

Alice (50:33):
Okay.
Interesting.

Ellen (50:35):
Hmm.
All right.
Where are we next?

Bex (50:39):
Chim is having

Ellen (50:40):
Chim's at home,

Bex (50:41):
a Skype conversation with his father.

Alice (50:44):
Lucky Chim.

Ellen (50:46):
Yeah.
And this is one of those odd conversationsthat, um, where his father is speaking
in Korean and Chim is replying to himin English and they both completely
understand each other, um, which is fine.
It, it's just an odd wayof having a conversation.
I don't know.

Bex (51:04):
I think we've had this discussion.
I mean, we might have had this discussionduring "Chimney Begins" where we had other
scenes of Chim talking to his father,and there was like discussions of how
much Korean does Kenneth actually know?
Um, versus whether it's like a characterchoice of like, no, I'm American.
I'm going to speak English.

(51:24):
And his father, 'cause his fatherobviously knows English because he came
to America, he was working in America, buthe's obviously, he's making a conscious
choice of like, no, I am in Korea.
I am Korean, I'm going to speak Korean.
And so they're both like beingvery stubborn and refusing.

Alice (51:41):
Yeah.
I think they're both being stubborn.

Bex (51:42):
Refusing to, to, to share the language with the other person, but
um, but yes, they both understand eachother completely because while Chim is
not, is choosing not to speak Korean,he obviously still understands it enough
that he knows what his father's saying.
Um, which is basically that Chimshould have not allowed Albert

(52:06):
to stay with him, that he shouldhave sent him back home to Korea.

Ellen (52:09):
Yeah.
He says "He's a boy.
He cannot be trusted to make decisionson his own." Chim's like, "He's 20."
He, he can do what he likes, basically.

Bex (52:19):
Yeah.
He's a grownup.

Ellen (52:21):
Yeah.

Bex (52:22):
Um, and he counters that, you know, he was making those kinds of decisions
for himself well before he was 20.
Um, and his father just says,well, "No, that was your choice."
I. Chim's like, "Hmm, was it though?"And Mr. His father says, uh, "You
are not gonna blame me for yourfailures." And Chim's counters again.

(52:44):
He says like, "I haven't failed.
I have a good life.
I have a good job.
You know, I'm saving lives." Um,and his father comes back with
"And foolishly risking your own.
I want better than that for my son."
And that knocks Chim for six.
He just goes, "Your son singular.Great. Glad I know where we stand."

Ellen (53:08):
Yeah.
At first I thought he wastalking about Chim, but No,
Chim just took it the other way.

Bex (53:15):
Oh no.
I don't think he wasever talking about Chim.
Like he wants better than that for Albert.
Albert is his son.
I don't know who he considers Chimat this stage, but not his son.

Ellen (53:27):
Yeah.
And then his dad hangs up on him.

Bex (53:29):
He looks visibly upset with this conversation.

Ellen (53:33):
I wonder if he even wished him happy birthday in the end.

Bex (53:36):
Probably not.

Alice (53:38):
I doubt he remembered.

Ellen (53:40):
Uh, all right.
So it is time to go towork at the 118 station.
Um, there's all sitting in thekitchen eating, eating cake.

Alice (53:50):
Yeah.
'cause at least they rememberedabout Chimney's birthday.

Ellen (53:53):
Chim still looks a bit, he, he still looks pretty down even though
that he's having birthday cake.
And Bobby asked if he can takesome cake home for Harry and May.
Because there must be heapsof it by the sound of it.
And so, yeah.

Bex (54:06):
I don't know, it looks like it's not one of those giant sheet cakes.
It's a, it's one of thoselike normal cake size boxes.
So I'm guessing either nobodyelse in the 118 got any cake
or it's a deceptively largecake, or they had multiple cakes.

Ellen (54:23):
This is enough cake to take some home, then yeah,

Alice (54:26):
maybe Chim wasn't in a cake mood.

Bex (54:27):
It was enough cake for like the core members of the
118 and nobody else got one.
But the mention of Harry and Mayprompts Buck to ask about Michael,
and we get an update about thedecision to go for surgery.
Bobby tells us that he, he thinks thatHarry is okay with the news, but that
he's worried about me because she'sgot a better understanding of what's

(54:49):
going on, which causes Chim to sort ofmutter about, "Older siblings don't have
the luxury of blissful ignorance. Theyunderstand the truth even if they don't
want to," and Bobby kind of looks at Bucklike, what the hell is that all about?
But for once, Buck knowswhat that's all about.
Yeah, Buck's got the inside scoop,so he turns, but uh, he knows what's

(55:10):
going on, but apparently he's not gotthe memo that apparently he is not
supposed to know what is going on.
'cause he turns to Chim and says, "Oh,I guess things aren't going too well
with Albert." And Chim just looks athim like, "How the fuck do you... wait.
Maddie told you?" Maddie toldyou. And Buck is like, "Oh.
Damn.
Um, sorry.
Was she not supposed to tell me?" 'causelike they tell each other everything.

Ellen (55:36):
Yeah.
So now we went over this last time.
Everyone tells everyone everything.
You know, they've gossips.
There's no secrets in this place.

Bex (55:44):
Nope.
Um, so that lets the, uh, the youngerbrother out of the bag and Chim has to
tell everybody that he has a younger halfbrother from Korea who showed up on his
doorstep, which they all think is awesome.
Chim's not so convinced.

Alice (56:01):
Yeah.
Eddie's quite excited.
But yeah, Chim's like, I don'tthink you need to meet them.
Meet him.

Bex (56:07):
Yeah, he's gonna be going home soon.
Um, but what's interesting is while themen are at the table gossiping, hens off
in the background, working feverishlyon a computer, and Chim is telling
everyone that, um, even though like heshares DNA biologically his family with
Albert, he still feels like a stranger.

(56:28):
And then Hen sort of pops up behind Chimand starts handing out papers to everybody

Alice (56:33):
from a folder too.
It's very organized.

Bex (56:36):
She's got a manila folder like Karen.
Karen knows her shit.
Um, but as she's handing out papers,she tells Chim that family comes to
us in different ways, which I reallyappreciate because there are some writers
on this show who will remain unnamedwho push very hard blood family and

(56:57):
blood relations and biological family.
But I love that Lindsay is pushingthe found family aspect of the show

Ellen (57:04):
and she tells Chim that, um, don't think you're gonna send
him home without meeting all of us.

Bex (57:09):
Uh, thankfully Chim gets saved by Eddie, very confusedly handing up,
holding up the piece of paper and askinghe what it is that she just handed out.

Alice (57:19):
Um, yeah, apparently Eddie can't read because it's like, there's
a heading that clearly says talkingpoints regarding Henrietta and Karen.

Bex (57:28):
I'm pretty sure that he, like, he read that it was talking points
regarding Henrietta and Karen.
He just had no idea why he wasbeing handed talking points
regarding Henrietta and Karen.

Alice (57:39):
Um, Eddie is there just like, who the fuck is Henrietta?

Bex (57:46):
So it turns out that, um, as we saw at the end of the last episode,
um, Karen and hen have moved forwardon the idea of becoming foster parents.
And they have put down the membersof the 118 as their character
references, and one or all of themare about to get calls where they

(58:07):
need to vouch for the two of them.
And Hen is adamant that they need to singtheir praises to the highest of heavens.
And specifically these very 26 praises.
Um, because

Ellen (58:22):
she's listed 26 qualities.

Bex (58:23):
The stakes, the stakes are very, very high and she doesn't
need any of them going off book.

Alice (58:30):
Yeah.
They, she doesn't want them improvising,which is fair because the 118 have one
brain cell that bounces in between them.
Besides Hen who generallyhas the brain cell

Ellen (58:39):
and, and when interviewed they make up stories.

Bex (58:42):
And considering this, um, Alice what we've seen Buck can do
when he's trying to be helpful.
Um, yeah.
It's not gonna end well for Hen

Alice (58:55):
Yeah.
"She drives an ambulance one timeshe hit a car, but that fine,
like that wasn't her fault."

Bex (59:04):
Oh my God.
But no, instead apparently Buck needs toexplain, needs to tell the interviewer
that, um, Hen plays the bassoon.
She was first chair and Buck isprobably very willing to do that if
he knew what the hell a bassoon was.
Yeah.
I do love that.

(59:25):
When I, um, when I get these, the notesthat we're working off the transcripts,
there's no attribution to them.
It's just lines of dialogue and Ihave to like move them around and
add the attribution and as soon asI got to the line, what's a bassoon?
Without even watching the episode, Ijust immediately gave that line a buck.
'cause I knew out of all of them, hewas gonna be the one who's gonna turn

(59:46):
to somebody and go, what's a bassoon?
Yeah.

Alice (59:51):
It's very Buck.
Oh, bless his little face.

Bex (59:55):
Didn't see he being a bassoon player though.

Alice (59:59):
No, no.
I could see it.
It's definitely a band geek sort of thing.

Bex (01:00:04):
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
I'm like, I can imaginethat she was a band geek.
I specifically can imagineher being like marching band.
Um, just didn't see herplaying the bassoon.
I don't know what instrumentI saw her playing, but

Ellen (01:00:18):
she'd probably play a mean trombone or like a clarinet or something.

Alice (01:00:24):
I was thinking clarinet.

Bex (01:00:25):
And then isn't clarinet just a bassoon on steroid, isn't it bassoon
just like clarinet on steroids.

Alice (01:00:30):
On steroids, exactly.

Ellen (01:00:31):
Like the bassoon is like a, an oboe on steroids, I guess.

Bex (01:00:35):
Yeah.
But similar.
But isn't an oboe just like,like you start with the, the
clarinet and it evolves into

Ellen (01:00:41):
Yeah.
Oboes are next level,because it's harder, yes.

Bex (01:00:42):
And that like the, the mega evolution of the clarinet.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like Pokemon

Ellen (01:00:48):
different reeds.
Different, yeah.
Anyway,

Alice (01:00:51):
the bassoon's, the Charizard of the family.
Yes.

Ellen (01:00:59):
Yes.
Okay.
So next emergency.

Bex (01:01:02):
Yes.

Ellen (01:01:06):
Uh, a man's working on his front garden.
Um, he's doing something

Bex (01:01:11):
I couldn't work out whether it was just fixing the garden or it was
actually renovating the entire house.
There's also concrete around in thegarden, like building materials, right?
There's scaffolding, there's pilesof stuff, there's con, there's a
stack of bags of concrete up front.
Um, but it's all kind of a mootpoint because according to Harrison,

(01:01:34):
who has just pulled up in hiscar, that's not his house anymore,

Ellen (01:01:38):
um, yeah, he's defaulted on the loan.
"You, you keep ignoring me and thenotices that we sent. But, um, you
can't sell this house if you don't ownit. And we're seizing your property."
Yeah,

Bex (01:01:53):
he tries, he gives, um, the not property owner, uh, who is Mr.
Blakely, um, a cash for keys offer.
The bank is willing to pay for his movingexpenses if he signs over the deed.
Um, and Mr. Blakely basicallytakes the cash for keys offer
and tells him where to shove it.

Ellen (01:02:13):
He just checks it on the ground.

Bex (01:02:18):
He is like, actually, he says, you know, like, um, Mr. Blakely
says, "Have you ever heard of thestand your ground law?" And Harrison
says, like, "It's not your ground!"
So he calls 9-1-1 to reporta trespasser on the property.
Um, but before, Maddie can getsort of any more information out

(01:02:43):
of him other than the address.
Mr. Blakely has decided that the bestway to handle this situation is to
get into his little mini skid steerloader that he's been using for the
construction work and run Harrison down.

Alice (01:02:58):
Literally, he just runs him over.

Bex (01:03:00):
We don't see any of that, because we cut to Maddie at this point.
And all, Maddie, we can hear whatMaddie hears, which is just an engine
revving and Harrison going, "No, no,no, no, no!" Um, and then um, Mr.
Blakely comes on the line and just says,I think I've done a terrible thing.

Alice (01:03:18):
Yeah.
No shit.

Ellen (01:03:20):
It's when I watched this the other day, um, I was kind of looking,
looking away from the screen at thispoint, and I hadn't seen the, the little
digger that he runs him over with untilhe started running him over with it.
And I'm like, well, where thehell did that thing come from?
He was just digging in his garden aminute ago and now he has a little digger.

Bex (01:03:41):
I'll say, they didn't do like very, obviously the camera like cuts
to the digger being in the corner andlike holds on it for five seconds so
that you know that it was there, itwas just tucked in the background.

Ellen (01:03:52):
He was just in the background.
Yeah.
Yeah.

Bex (01:03:54):
So, yeah.
Um,

Ellen (01:03:56):
but yes, yes.
All we can hear over the nine oneone call is just the guy going, "ah!"

Bex (01:04:02):
And then when we cut back to Saddle Peak Drive, we see that, uh,
poor Harrison is like wedged under thecaterpillar treads of the little loader.

Ellen (01:04:14):
Yeah.
Ouch.

Bex (01:04:16):
Yeah, we go to commercial, we come back, we're gonna
continue with the same scene.
And as the 118 arrive, uh, Mr.Blakely is being very, very helpful.
He like runs out to greet Bobbyand sort of usher him in to show
him like where it's happened.
Um, and I think I've watched fartoo many sort of crime and police

(01:04:39):
procedurals where people have like,"It was an accident, I made a mistake."
And then they like dismember the body andlike bury it in like five different states
and it takes forensic anthropologistto put it back together again.
Um, it was very refreshing to see somebodymake a mistake and then immediately
own up for it and try to fix it.

Ellen (01:04:56):
Yeah.
Yeah.
He could have just run away,but no, he stayed around.

Bex (01:05:02):
He could have stayed like backed over him and backed over him
again and then buried him under,like, under the house or something.
I don't know.

Ellen (01:05:10):
Yeah.

Alice (01:05:13):
You mean the bank's house?

Ellen (01:05:15):
But he does hang around long enough to get arrested.

Bex (01:05:18):
Well, he sticks around long enough.
Like he, and he doesn't putup a fight when they do arrest
him, so I appreciate that.

Ellen (01:05:26):
Um, yeah, so they do manage to get the digger off the guy off Harrison, by

Bex (01:05:32):
once again, we have Hen operating heavy machinery,

Ellen (01:05:36):
Bobcat driver Hen

Alice (01:05:37):
we do,

Ellen (01:05:38):
she loves it.
She manages to get the lever, the,the machine up on its bucket, to get,
you know, enough of it off the groundthat they can pull him out and like
by yanking him out like that must havemade his injury like so much worse.

Bex (01:05:56):
Even worse.
Yeah.

Ellen (01:05:57):
Yeah.
Like, I don't know if, yeah.
Anyway, obviously they didn'tknow that he had a hole in him.

Bex (01:06:05):
Like he couldn't stay under here.
They had to get him out and like, Ithink it, it's like the, the damned
if you do, damned if you don't.

Ellen (01:06:12):
Yeah.
What else are they gonna do?
They can't just, they can't climb underthere to see what's going on with him, so,

Bex (01:06:18):
no, no.
But um, yeah, they get him out.
Chim says that he feels somethingand they have to turn him.
Um, they've ruled out spinal injury,so they flip him onto his side
and Chim peels back his shirt and.
There is like little loopy sausages stuckto, um, Harrison's back because there was

(01:06:45):
a hole in his back and his intestines arenow hanging on the outside of his body.
And this would be the point where Raulwould start screaming "Goooore!!!"

Ellen (01:06:56):
Right.

Bex (01:06:57):
I love it as they're discussing this, Mr. Blakely sort of like, "Wait, he got
eviscerated?" Like comes around, looks andis like, "Oh my God." And it just bolts.

Ellen (01:07:06):
Yeah.
He's going off to throw up.

Bex (01:07:11):
Exactly.
Yeah.
He very much is.

Ellen (01:07:13):
But, but the paramedics are very much like in control of this.
They, they notice that his spine's okay.
Like they make sure he ismoving, his spine's okay.
They, they like clean him up.
They pat it up, givehim loads of morphine.
Apparently.

Bex (01:07:30):
Apparently Eddie has seen this before, which does not surprise
me considering where his, likemedical experience has come from.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Um, so yeah, they're, they're dousingthe, um, afflicted area with what's either
saline or sterile water to try and washaway all the dirt that got lodged in it

(01:07:53):
when they dragged him out of the hole.

Ellen (01:07:56):
Oh yeah.

Alice (01:07:57):
Um, and then they strap him onto the backboard on his side.

Bex (01:08:04):
Yeah, so obviously they can't have him lying on his intestines
while they're outside of his body.
Um, and they can't havehim on his stomach either.
'cause, you know, he still needs to beable to breathe and shit, so yeah, he's
like, he's in the recovery position,strapped to the gurney so he can't move.

Ellen (01:08:22):
Bobby calls the head to the hospital to make sure
they know what's coming and tohave the surgeon standing by.
'cause he's gonna need tobe stitched up immediately.

Bex (01:08:30):
Yeah.
You think?
There is a nice transition here.
So LAPD show up, um, and they arrest,they arrest Blakely and he's sort
of staring after the ambulance goinglike, "I can't believe I did this."
And then we cut to Harrisoninside the ambulance saying,
"I can't believe he did that."

Ellen (01:08:50):
I can't believe he's still like conscious.
I mean, I guess he's been givena bunch of morphine, so he's
like high as a kite, but he,

Bex (01:08:57):
oh, he's so high.

Ellen (01:08:59):
He does say, "I hate my job. I need to change my life. Am I a
terrible person?" it's like, yeah,you are flying high right now.

Alice (01:09:08):
I love that he's, he does try and say Carpe Diem at some point,
but comes out completely wrong.

Bex (01:09:12):
Carpe Deum, which just always reminds me of, um, that epi, that line
in Buffy or Buffy says something aboutwhere somebody says like, Carpe diem.
And I think Xander mistranslatethat as "Fish of the Day" and Willow
has to very patiently say, no,not carp, Carpe and seize the day.

Ellen (01:09:36):
Yeah.

Bex (01:09:38):
Um, Chim and Hen are in the back of the ambulance with Harrison and
they're amused that he's talking.
They're pretty surethat it's the morphine.
Um, but it's a good sign.
As long as he's talking,he's conscious, he's fine.
So they just decide to keep him talking.
I love this bit.
Um, so Chim decides to continuethe conversation thread and says,

(01:09:59):
"So if you weren't a bank guy,what do you think you'd be doing?"
And Harrison says, "Well, I wantedto be a firefighter as a kid, but
now I don't think I have the guts."
And Chim and Hen just look at each other.

Ellen (01:10:15):
They just laugh.

Bex (01:10:17):
They wanna laugh so badly and that they don't know whether it's appropriate.
But then Harrison starts laughing at hisown joke and they just start cracking up.

Ellen (01:10:27):
Oh God.
Don't have the guts anymore, buddy.

Alice (01:10:29):
It's so bad.

Ellen (01:10:31):
They're not supposed to be on the outside of your body.

Bex (01:10:36):
Yeah.
As they're coming up the stairsand they're approaching the table.
'cause um, I mean, I don't know whythere's he saying that because it's.
Like Eddie and Buck and Bobby, and theywere there and they, they were all there.
They saw all what it was.
So like, they know whathis story is gonna be.
Um, but they don't get to, um, go firstand explain the, like, talk about the

(01:11:00):
grossest cases they ever, they've,um, they've ever had while they eat.
Because one of the firefighters stepsto the side and we see that Albert is
sitting at the, um, at the table andeverybody's having a great time with him.
And actually Albert says that hecalled, he wanted to see where they
work, and Bobby said that you wereon your way back from the hospital.

(01:11:23):
Chim is not impressed.

Alice (01:11:26):
Yeah.
So Albert's like, "Oh, I heard you saveda man's life." And Chim's like, "Oh, we
don't really talk about that stuff here."

Bex (01:11:32):
No.
But Hen gets so excited, she's like,"Yes, tell your brother what we just did.
He's gonna love this story." AndChim just glares at her and says,
"Yeah, no, we don't talk about that."

Alice (01:11:42):
But like, Chim just walked in going grossest cases to talk about
while we eat, and now he is justlike, oh, we don't talk about that's,

Bex (01:11:47):
We don't talk about Bruno's like No,

Ellen (01:11:50):
He's just not interested in uh, getting to know Albert.

Bex (01:11:55):
No.
Even though everybody else is likeBuck saying, like, "He even gave Cap
a tutorial on how to make Mandela!"Albert's like, "They're Mandu.".
Dumplings,
which Albert says, youknow, "They're great.
You can make them in advance.
You can freeze them and then just pop'em in a pan and eat them for lunch."
Um, he takes them to ball games as snacksand like Eddie's little radar goes up

(01:12:19):
and wake, "Wait, you like baseball?
Like, we should go to a baseballgame together." He's col like he's
collecting all of the 118 members.

Ellen (01:12:28):
Yeah.

Bex (01:12:28):
And to Chim's absolute horror.

Ellen (01:12:31):
Yeah.
"He's like, he's not gonna be herethat long," but Hen just kind of
punches Chim, "Hi, my name's Hen.
I'm your brother's longtime bestie."

Bex (01:12:41):
"I'm sure you have a lot of questions about your brother,"
and Albert's like, "Yes, I do.
Do you know why they call him Chimney?"
Everybody would like to knowwhy they call him Chimney.
Yes, please.
Somebody tell us whythey call him Chimney.

Ellen (01:12:58):
This is definitely my,

Alice (01:12:59):
but instead we go to a commercial.

Ellen (01:13:00):
This is my favorite ongoing joke.
This one
I love they keep bringing it up.

Bex (01:13:10):
I hope they never tell us.

Alice (01:13:11):
No, me too.

Bex (01:13:13):
Because as soon as they tell us it's, it's not, it's
not gonna live up to the hype.

Alice (01:13:17):
Yeah, no.
Like I'm almost finished New Girl.
And at the end of, so there'sseven seasons of New Girl.
I'm on season seven.
At the end of season six, they havea whole episode about Schmidt's first
name because it's not revealed, likethey go to great lengths to hide
it, um, throughout the entire show.

(01:13:37):
Yeah.
And then it's, and now likeit's revealed and I'm just like,
no, that was disappointing.
Like I wish we hadn't known.

Bex (01:13:44):
Yeah.
Oh.
So petition for us to never findout why he's called Chimney.
Just let the Fanfic writers play with it.

Alice (01:13:53):
Exactly.

Bex (01:13:54):
But then Chim needs to stay out of ao3 and not get his ideas
on where Chimney got his nicknamefrom, from the fan fiction writers.
'cause apparently that's wherehe is getting all his ideas now.

Alice (01:14:05):
Yeah.
Tim, please get off ao3.
It's fun, but also you're gonna stop,

Bex (01:14:11):
you're gonna get sued at some point dude

Alice (01:14:17):
it's all fun and games until he finds the first Omegaverse fic

Ellen (01:14:19):
Oh God.

Alice (01:14:23):
And then, Buck gets pregnant and everyone's like, hang on a minute.

Bex (01:14:25):
And suddenly 9-1-1 takes a very drastic right turn.

Ellen (01:14:31):
Oh my God.
I hope that happens.
That'll be amazing.

Bex (01:14:36):
Look, ABC is progressive.
I dunno that it's that progressive.
All right.
Can we get this nextemergency out of the way?
Because I hate this one.
Like my secondhand embarrassment.
It's, it's just too much.
Oh my God..

Ellen (01:14:49):
It's is very over the top, isn't it?

Alice (01:14:52):
It's cringe.

Bex (01:14:54):
Oh, yes.

Ellen (01:14:56):
Okay, so let's, let's speed run.
Um,

Bex (01:14:59):
all right.
We have Justin.
Justin is the office gopher.
He has been sent to pickup lunch for the office.
Um,

Alice (01:15:07):
yeah, he gets sent to, sent every, um, every day to get lunch for the office.
He knows everyone's order.

Bex (01:15:16):
It seems like he knows the, um, the woman working behind the counter
at the deli pretty well as well.
I guess you would if you'reseeing them every single day.

Alice (01:15:25):
But it seems like they might actually be friends 'cause like they're
chatting about their personal life.

Bex (01:15:30):
Yes.

Alice (01:15:30):
Or his personal life at least.

Bex (01:15:32):
Justin, Justin's personal life at least.
Yes.
As well as Justin going to thisparticular deli every single day.
There is a very cute guy who alsogoes to that deli every day that
Justin lusts after from afar.

Alice (01:15:46):
Um, yep.
They've never spoken.
Um, Justin's pretty sure that thecute guy does not know his name,

Bex (01:15:55):
which then the, uh, the cashier who, um, again, in the
captions, she's given a name.
It is never used in the episode.

Alice (01:16:04):
Never.

Bex (01:16:05):
Um.
When Justin bemoans, the fact thatCute Guy doesn't even know his name,
she just very loudly shouts "Order forJustin, to go for Justin!" and looks
over her shoulder to make sure that cuteguy is paying attention, which he is.

Alice (01:16:22):
Oh yeah, he's paying attention.
Um, and she's like, cool.
Now he definitely knowsit, knows your name.
So yeah, it goes back and forth.
The cashier is saying, "Just talk tohim." Justin's saying, "Oh, it's too
embarrassing." Um, apparently Justinadjusted his schedule to match his.

Ellen (01:16:39):
Yeah, but he won't speak to him.

Bex (01:16:41):
Yes.
The cashier claims that his oneorder of his one order of boiled
bunny away from being a stalker,

Ellen (01:16:47):
and he's got the words because he has written a note on
like a menu and he hands it over,

Alice (01:16:57):
"Right there under sandwiches."

Ellen (01:17:00):
Ugh.
Yeah.
She's like, "why will you not just goand talk to him?" But anyway, um, the guy

Alice (01:17:10):
Justin's like, "Why? What would you say?" And the cashier's like,
"Hi, I am Justin. Wanna hook up?"

Ellen (01:17:14):
Yeah, Justin's like "Shakespearean," but, um, Miles,
who is the cute guy, takes his, hisorder's ready, so he is taking the
bag and the cashier says, "You haveto go now because he's leaving the
other side of town and you will notbe able to see him anymore after this.
So go and do it."

Bex (01:17:34):
How does she know that?

Ellen (01:17:35):
I assume she's also been speaking to Miles.

Alice (01:17:38):
Yeah.

Bex (01:17:39):
So she tells Justin to seize the day and everyone takes another shot.
Hmm.

Alice (01:17:45):
That just, it reminds me of, um, so a friend of mine worked in an
office for like, over a year and theywent like every, I think it was like
Thursday, they went to the same likecafe for lunch, and it was like small,
like owned by the people who work there.
And they chatted to them all the time.
Like they ended up knowingtheir names and everything.
And then she got another job and left.

(01:18:06):
And I think, well, they all, I can'tremember exactly what happened,
but, anyway, she went back tohave lunch with the people like 18
months later and they were like,"Oh my God, you're still alive?"
And she was like, "Uh, yes,I just got another job.
It's okay." And they werelike, "We thought you'd died."

Ellen (01:18:22):
Aw, aw.
She didn't say goodbye?

Alice (01:18:25):
But she felt so bad.

Ellen (01:18:26):
That's so sad.

Bex (01:18:27):
No, that's probably one of those things you don't think about.

Ellen (01:18:31):
Yeah, I guess so.
You just don't turn up one dayand they're like, what happened?

Alice (01:18:37):
Like, I've had places where I've like, you know, got
the fixation on a certain meal.
So I've gone up, gone to somewhere likeonce a week and then just stopped going.
And I feel like they also thinkthat I've died and I'm just like,
"No, I am just autistic. And the.I cannot stand that food anymore."

Bex (01:18:53):
If Reddit is to believed they have definitely missed you.
'cause I do remember reading a Redditthread along these sort of lines where
people have talked about going torestaurants, getting particular meals, and
then just stopping and then going back.
And the people in the store are just like,"Oh my God, you're still here, you're
still okay. We were so worried aboutyou. We haven't seen you in so long."

Alice (01:19:14):
Oh, literally we've got quite regular customers and when I left
my last job, 'cause I was at my lastjob since the store opened, so I
was there for like quite a while.
I knew like the, all the regulars knew me,a lot of them had like jokes that I just
lived there because I was there so much.
Um, and yeah, like when I was leaving,whenever my regulars came in, before

(01:19:37):
I left, after I'd like given mynotice, I let them know that I was
leaving because I also hated when Iknew like saw people all the time and
then they vanished and I was like, oh,

Ellen (01:19:48):
aw, that's,

Bex (01:19:48):
justin decides that yes, he is going to seize the day.
Um, he grabs the order,which is like ridiculous.
Could we just talk about this orders,it was like a kale salad with chicken
steak and pork chops on top of it.
A BLT for David without the b, l orT, which does that just leave bread?

Alice (01:20:13):
Like, is it just bread?
Um, something also had thousandIsland mixed with ranch.
Was it?

Bex (01:20:19):
Oh yeah.
He wanted the, the thousandisland dressing mixed with the
ranch dressing, which just No.
Oh yeah, just no.
Uh, so he grabs his orders and he starts,I guess walking back to his car, but he's
also looking around frantically for Miles.
Um, and he's paying so much attentionto where Miles is that he does

(01:20:40):
not notice the construction peoplewalking across the footpath in front
of him with a large copper likepiping or over their shoulders.
Um, and they coat hanger him.
He gets it straight in the throatand he goes flying backwards.

Ellen (01:20:57):
Yep.
He can't breathe.
He's like got his throat's lookingreally bruised and red already.

Bex (01:21:03):
Yep.

Ellen (01:21:04):
And he's gasping on the floor.
People are gathering aroundlike, and Miles notices that
something's going on and he runsover and he is like, oh my God.

Bex (01:21:15):
Yeah.
He, he was somewhere like way furtherdown the street and then all of a sudden
he's yeeting people left and right toget through the crowd to get to Justin.

Ellen (01:21:26):
And he's the one who calls 9-1-1.

Bex (01:21:28):
He calls 9-1-1.

Alice (01:21:29):
He's the one who calls 9-1-1.

Bex (01:21:31):
So we just get Chim and Hen this time, 'cause I'm guessing it's purely
medical, there's no like fire rescueneeded and Miles is the one that does
all the talking because Justin can't.
Um, and it's very cute because Chimasks if Miles knows the victim's
name and he knows a lot about Justin.

(01:21:55):
Like to Justin.

Alice (01:21:56):
Yeah.
Apparently Miles hasalso been stalking Justin

Bex (01:21:58):
Apparently, because he not only knows Justin's first name, he knows
his last name, he knows where he worksand he knows that he has a nut allergy.
Yeah, possibly

Ellen (01:22:07):
That cashier has clearly been gossiping with everybody in the place.

Bex (01:22:14):
Justin is freaking out at this point and he looks, and Miles says like,
"He looks like he's trying to talk.What is he trying to say?" And at which
this is the point that I like, diveunder the blankets, under the pillows
and start screaming because oh my God,

Alice (01:22:27):
it's so cringe.

Bex (01:22:29):
The um, We hear the cashier say, "No man is an island. But two men together
can share the world." So she has decidedthat this is the perfect time to read
Justin's love note to Miles out loud.

Ellen (01:22:45):
It's really cute.
But also

Alice (01:22:46):
the paramedics are trying to do their job.

Ellen (01:22:49):
He's clearly not okay with it as well.

Bex (01:22:52):
Oh yeah, because he's trying to,
But she

Ellen (01:22:53):
just keeps going.

Bex (01:22:55):
He tries to kill her with his eyes 'cause that's the only
thing that he can communicate with.
Um, at one point shegoes off on a tangent.
And says that, you know, thatJustin is very single, very nice,
very dateable, and he literallylurches upright waving his hands.
If he could say anything, he would besaying, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

(01:23:19):
But it works because at one point Justinis trying to say something, I feel
like the closed caption says "kill."Um, I don't know whether he's trying
to say like, I'm going to kill you,um, for doing this, but, Miles asks,
you know, "What is he trying to say?"
And Chim and Hen who are horrifiedthat they're stuck in the middle

(01:23:41):
of some kind of Cyrano situation.
Yeah.

Ellen (01:23:43):
They're, they're like giving each other side eyes through this
whole thing going, what the hell?

Bex (01:23:48):
Um, Chim decides that he's going to help, help him, help a guy
out and asks Miles if he would liketo accompany Justin and them to the
hospital in the back of the ambulance.
And when Miles says yes, the crowd burstinto applause and ah, as if they've

(01:24:11):
just, you know, he's accepted somebeautiful romantic proposal of marriage.

Alice (01:24:16):
Yeah.

Bex (01:24:16):
Rather than just, you know, sitting in the back of an ambulance.

Alice (01:24:20):
Yeah.
Shit that would never happen.
Like, someone falls down on the streetand everyone's just like, oh, that
guy's probably drunk and keeps walking,

Bex (01:24:26):
Oh my God.
It's just,

Alice (01:24:27):
anyway, just the very unromantic, um,

Ellen (01:24:31):
I was gonna say maybe they needed a, um, a romantic kind of interlude
since they missed out on Valentine's Day.
'cause we skipped right to March.

Bex (01:24:40):
But I don't, like I said, maybe it's just that the secondhand embarrassment
because No, but why is this romantic?

' Ellen (01:24:49):
cause he wrote him a note and he can't, and it's being read out
by someone else against his will.

Bex (01:24:55):
Yeah, it's the against his will part that I have a real
problem with at this point.

Ellen (01:24:59):
Yeah.

Alice (01:25:01):
Oh.
Like that poor cashier isso done with their shit.

Bex (01:25:05):
I do love, like she gets when, um, because he's otherwise uninjured, they
don't bother putting Justin on a gurney.
They just like haul into hisfeet and he walks under his
own power to the ambulance.
And as he passes the cashier, she justlike gives him this big shit eating
green and like double thumbs up.
She's so proud of herself.

Ellen (01:25:26):
Oh God.
I mean, lucky for her it works out.
Imagine if he'd been like, "Oh no, I, II need to go back to work like, see you."
Yes.
Anyway, later, um, Chim and Maddie aregoing to their favorite karaoke bar,
which we have seen them go to before.
I'm guessing it's the same one.

Bex (01:25:45):
I'm going to,

Alice (01:25:46):
it looks like the same one.

Bex (01:25:47):
Yeah.
I was about to say, how many karaokebars are there in LA and then realize
the stupidity of that statement.

Ellen (01:25:54):
There's probably load, but they, I assume they have a
favorite one that they go to.

Bex (01:25:58):
Um, 'cause it, it was like a badge and ladder one, right?
It was where all of thefirst responders went.
So I'm guessing it's,

Ellen (01:26:05):
oh,

Bex (01:26:05):
that's right.
It's the same one.
So it must be like Chim's birthday week.
'cause this birthday celebrationseems just to be stretched
out over many, many days.

Ellen (01:26:16):
Oh yeah.
The birthday boy, I just assumedthey were going there after work.
I didn't realize it was a,

Bex (01:26:22):
I think it's still birthday celebration, but like, either this is
the longest day known to man, or this,

Alice (01:26:29):
It must be birthday week because Chim says that he's heard
more from his father in the pastweek than the entirety of his life.

Bex (01:26:38):
So Maddie's just one of these people that has like birthday weeks.

Alice (01:26:42):
Yeah.
Then she's just like, tonight'sabout you put your phone away and
let's focus on the birthday Boy.

Ellen (01:26:46):
Maybe his birthday was on the Monday and, and they couldn't go
out until the weekend or something.
Maybe.

Bex (01:26:51):
Yeah.
I'm gonna assume that it fell ontoone of their like 48 on or something.
So they haven't had a chanceto go out and celebrate.
But, but anyway, they're going tocelebrate his birthday at karaoke bar.
Um, Chim is very apologetic about the factthat he keeps harping on about Albert.
He's just, he's very willing to goand not talk about Albert except

(01:27:14):
who should be at the karaoke barup on stage with Hen but Albert.

Alice (01:27:22):
And they're singing "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" as well.

Bex (01:27:24):
Badly too.

Alice (01:27:26):
Oh yeah.
It's awful.

Bex (01:27:27):
Hen seems to be doing okay.

Ellen (01:27:28):
Yeah.
Hen's got a great voice there,

Bex (01:27:31):
Albert.
Not so much.
Yeah.

Alice (01:27:34):
But like it's such a couple-y song.

Bex (01:27:36):
It is.
It's

Alice (01:27:37):
Chim's just like, are you kidding me?

Bex (01:27:40):
It's Elton John.
And who?
Uh, English singer Kiki Dee

Ellen (01:27:47):
Oh, okay.

Bex (01:27:47):
So yeah, it was a duet with Elton John.
A little bit later in the evening.
Um, he, Eddie Buck and Albert areplaying pool while Maddie and Chim
are sitting by the bar watching.

Alice (01:28:00):
Um, yeah.
Buck and Albert are gettingalong like a house on fire,

Bex (01:28:04):
which makes sense 'cause they're sort of close in age.

Alice (01:28:08):
Yeah.
Closer in age.
Probably closer in agethan Buck and Chim are?

Bex (01:28:13):
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, because Chim's,

Alice (01:28:16):
I'm trying to work out what season we're on

Bex (01:28:17):
season three,

Alice (01:28:20):
so Buck wouldn't be 30.

Bex (01:28:21):
Oh no Buck's still in his twenties.

Alice (01:28:24):
Yeah.
Um, whereas Albert is 20.

Bex (01:28:26):
Yes.
So yes, it's veryunderstandable that, um, that

Alice (01:28:30):
and Buck's a child anyway, let's be real.

Bex (01:28:31):
No matter how old he is, Buck is very young at heart.
So yes.
He and Albert have bonded.
Yeah.

Alice (01:28:37):
But yeah, Buck says that sometimes you've gotta put a little mileage
between yourself and home, so you figureout what you want and who you are.
And Eddie helpfully goes, "IfI hadn't enlisted, I'd still
be working with my pops."
And they're like, "Don'tencourage him to go off to war."

Bex (01:28:51):
Yeah.
Maddie scolds him.
"Eddie, don't encourage him togo off to war." Hen tries to
contribute to the conversation bysaying, "Everyone has their path.
You just do you, Albert." And he goes,"Yes, I will, I will do me." And Buck's
like, just like "Phrasing, dude."

(01:29:14):
Albert and says that he like, when whilehe's doing him, he will just need a
little bit of his brother's co courage.
You know, because he's very,um, very impressed with Chim.

Alice (01:29:25):
Yeah, 'cause Chim did not let his fa let father dictate his life.
He took a stand, got out, cameto America to follow his dreams.
And Chim's just looking at it from thebar, and he's like "There was no stand.
I didn't get out.
I was left behind, uh, most of my life.
All I wanted was for him tosee me, to be proud of me, to
be proud to call me his son.
But no matter what I did,I was always invisible.

(01:29:47):
'cause you were the onlyson he cares about."

Bex (01:29:50):
At, at this point that Kenny's starting to slur his words and
you realize that like Chim is justdrunk as a skunk at this point.
He's just been,

Alice (01:29:59):
he's drunk and over it.

Bex (01:30:00):
And he's, he's, he's getting in like sad morose, angry drunk.
He's not happy drunk.
He tells Albert that, you know,everything's so easy for him.
He's never had to work for anything.
No.
"Everybody loves you!" And he, the throwhis arms open and he knocks his beer
bottle over and he kind of stops, looksat it, straightens it, and then continues.

(01:30:25):
And I wonder whether that was likean accident that Kenny accidentally
knocked it over with his gesticulation,but because he stayed in character and
just kept going, they just kept it in.

Ellen (01:30:38):
Yeah, it did look that way.
Yeah.
I wondered the same thing.

Bex (01:30:42):
Yeah.
Um, but before he got sidetrackedby the beer, um, the point is that
everybody loves Albert, includingall of Chim's friends who were

Alice (01:30:53):
Yeah.

Bex (01:30:53):
All love Albert.
And he's kind of angry aboutthat because Albert had a family.
Chim never had a family.
These people are his family.
And Albert does not get to takethat family away from him too.
And Albert's like, "I don't, I don'twanna take anything away from you.

(01:31:15):
I'm your brother." And Chim'slike, "No, you're not my brother.
I had a brother.
He died."

Alice (01:31:21):
Yeah.
His name was Kevin and he died.

Bex (01:31:23):
Yeah.
So at this point we real, we rememberhow young Albert very is because he looks
like he's about to burst into tears.
He throws his pool cue onto thetable and bolts from the bar.

Ellen (01:31:39):
Yeah.
Chim says, "you came to me becauseyou needed something from me."
And yeah.
It's a bit unfair, Chim.
'cause he, he came to you becauseyou were a safe place to run to.

Bex (01:31:53):
Yes, he was.

Alice (01:31:54):
He came to Chim because he idolized Chim.

Bex (01:31:56):
Yeah.
And he like, he consideredChim his brother.
Yeah.
And he was just had all ofthat, um, idolization and, uh,
brotherhood just smashed to tinylittle pieces in front of him.

Ellen (01:32:10):
He's been rejected.

Bex (01:32:12):
Yeah.
So Buck goes racing after Albert,and Hen and Eddie just glare at Chim.
At which point Chimrealizes that he's done bad.

Alice (01:32:24):
Yeah.
He's like, "I know, I suck."

Ellen (01:32:26):
Oh Chim.

Alice (01:32:28):
So after commercial, we go to Chim's place and Chim's just feeling
sorry for himself on the couch whileMaddie's on the phone in the other room.
Yeah.
And she's talking to Buck and aftershe hangs up, Buck's got Albert.
So Chimney asks if Albert's okay.
Maddie says that Buck said he's gonnalet him stay with him for the night.

(01:32:50):
But she's worried about Chim andhe, Chim actually admits like "I
was working out my childhood traumaon a kid who doesn't deserve it."

Ellen (01:32:58):
Yeah.
At least he admits that he orrealizes that he's fucked up.

Alice (01:33:03):
Yeah.

Ellen (01:33:05):
But he explains to Maddie that he, his father is the one
who likes Albert more than him.
His, he was never close to hisfather, and he, he spent years
trying to bridge the gap, but he justwasn't interested in being a father.
And it turns out he wasn'tinterested in being a father to Chim.

(01:33:25):
But like Maddie tries to convincehim that he, we, they don't know
what his relationship is with Albert.
Like, it can't be good otherwisehe wouldn't have shown up here.
And he, she's like, oh, "Trust me.
I know." And Chim's like, "No, youwere running away from your husband.
That was different." And this is whereMaddie says that "I ran to my brother.
He was the one I could count on."

Alice (01:33:46):
I think this is the first time that we've actually heard about

Bex (01:33:51):
this is the first time we get a little bit of the, the Buckley
parents, the Buckley family law.
Um, we find when Maddie says that they arenot bad people, but they are bad parents.

Ellen (01:34:04):
Yeah.
Her mom and dad aren't bad people.

Bex (01:34:07):
Yeah.
Like, Ooh.

Alice (01:34:08):
Um, and she says the mistakes that they made with.
Maddie, they made them with Buck too.

Bex (01:34:13):
Meh,
but that's, that's anissue for a later time.
We're gonna, we're gonna

Alice (01:34:18):
Yeah.
That's, that's a later issue.
That's, but yes.
Like I see what she means.
Like he, like Chim thinks that his dadwas the per like a terrible father to
Chimney at a great father to Albert.
But Maddie's trying to say no, justbecause Albert lived there longer,
like lived with him longer doesn't meanthat he was a good dad to him either.

Bex (01:34:38):
Yeah.
So we're gonna leave Chimneyto mull over that and we're
gonna go see another father.
We're gonna go to Michael's apartment.
Where May...

Alice (01:34:51):
and this the first time we've seen Michael's apartment?

Bex (01:34:54):
I think this is the first time.

Ellen (01:34:56):
Yeah.
I don't think I've seen it before.
So, yeah.

Alice (01:34:58):
Because yeah, normally he goes over to,

Ellen (01:35:02):
he spends all the time at Athena's.

Alice (01:35:04):
Yeah.
So clearly in the hiatusthey built a new set.

Ellen (01:35:10):
Yeah.
And clearly May has a key.
She just lets herself in.

Alice (01:35:14):
Well that makes sense.
'cause she goes there after school.

Bex (01:35:18):
Yeah.
I think it's more that like, shelike didn't knock, she literally
just let herself in because Michaelwas very surprised to see her.
Yeah.
Had he known that she was coming, I don'tthink he would've had all of the very,
um, highly personal paperwork spreadout over the table, which in this case,
the camera does focus on and zoom in on.

(01:35:40):
And we get a really good look at whatthe paperwork is so that the audience is
understands, like, look at this paperwork.
You see this paperwork,this paperwork's important.
Um,

Ellen (01:35:48):
yeah, I mean, it means that they don't have to, the, the
characters don't have to explainit as much, I guess if they just
pointedly show us what it actually is,

Bex (01:35:58):
but then she says it anyway.

Alice (01:35:59):
I just could.
Um, I've just got Nickelback'slike "Photograph" in my head now.
Look at this paperwork.

Bex (01:36:07):
I'm sorry.
Nobody wants to haveNickelback stuck in their head.
Uh, but the paperwork,

Ellen (01:36:14):
unless it's behind a, a Buck and Eddie scene,

Bex (01:36:18):
no.
Even, not even then.
No.
It would just taint Buddie.
No, thank you.

Ellen (01:36:24):
Oh, wasn't it, wasn't it in another episode?

Bex (01:36:28):
No, it was Ed Sheeran.

Alice (01:36:30):
That was Ed Sheeran.

Ellen (01:36:31):
Oh, that was a different photograph song

Bex (01:36:33):
yeah.

Ellen (01:36:39):
Okay.

Bex (01:36:40):
We accept Ed Sheeran.
We don't accept Nickelback
But the paperwork is Michael'swill, he's updating his will.
Which is very sensible consideringhe's going in for major surgery.
I'm also going to assume he probablyhasn't done it since the divorce.

(01:37:01):
Yeah.
So it was about time he did that.

Alice (01:37:06):
So the, yeah, big, big, um, big letters on the papers on the table say
"last will and testament" in big letters.
Um, did I say big letters enough?
I think I said big letters.

Bex (01:37:17):
How big were the letters?

Alice (01:37:19):
They were pretty big.

Ellen (01:37:20):
They focus in on those big letters.

Alice (01:37:21):
And they were letters.
Yeah.

Ellen (01:37:23):
But he does explain to May that the reason he's doing it is because it's
risky and he doesn't know that, likethere's no guarantees, it could go wrong.

Alice (01:37:33):
Yeah.
It's not just becausehe thinks he's dying.
Um, it's just safeguards.

Ellen (01:37:39):
Yeah.
And May asks why he didn't tell them?
And he's like, "well, I didn't wannascare you." And I was thinking like,
he did tell them, that was the wholeround table discussion thing, right?
Like he told them he washaving brain surgery.
Did they think it was gonna be easy?
Like,

Alice (01:37:55):
well, they, he, the thing, he didn't tell them that without the brain
surgery he could be dead in a year.

Ellen (01:38:02):
Yeah.
I mean, I thought that was alreadyknown, but May seems to be really
upset by learning this information.
And she asks him if he's scaredand he just kind of breaks down.

Bex (01:38:18):
Decides to be honest.

Ellen (01:38:20):
Oh, this is really sad.

Bex (01:38:24):
Yeah.
Like I get, I get that he's, he's scared.
She is still a child though.

Alice (01:38:31):
Yeah.
She's like, what, 17?
If she was doing college applications?

Bex (01:38:35):
Yes.
I don't know that this kind of emotional,what's the word I'm looking for?
Like the emotional unburdeningthat he's doing is appropriate
to his 17-year-old daughter.

Alice (01:38:52):
Yeah.
Please, please don't traumadump on your teenager.

Bex (01:38:54):
Ey, that's what I was looking for.
Trauma dumping.

Ellen (01:38:57):
I mean, his, his, his thinking patterns are kind of disturbed by this
thing anyway, so maybe he's not yes.
In control of his emotions that much.

Bex (01:39:06):
This is possibly the tumor talking.

Ellen (01:39:09):
Yeah.
I didn't want to say that 'causethat's kind of freaky, but Yes.

Alice (01:39:14):
Yeah.

Bex (01:39:14):
Oh, I think I say it later on in the notes somewhere.

Ellen (01:39:18):
Yeah.

Bex (01:39:19):
Um, but May tells him that he needs to stop planning for his
death, that he still has options.
And as long as he has options, as long ashe still has his family, there is hope.
Um, and we're gonna see later that Michaeltakes this completely the wrong way.

Ellen (01:39:39):
And they have a very sweet moment where he says, "When did you grow
up on me? I love you." And then theyhave a big hug and it's really cute.

Bex (01:39:47):
Probably when her mother locked her in a van with a dead woman.

Ellen (01:39:52):
Yeah.
She's been through a lot.

Bex (01:39:55):
She really has.
Okay.
From one emotionally fraughtconversation to another, uh, we are
going to cut to Buck's loft where,uh, Buck opens the door to find Chim.
Chim thanks him forletting Albert stay there.
Um, and then Buck promptlymakes himself scarce.

Ellen (01:40:16):
Yeah.
He like senses the awkwardnessand, and hightails it out.

Alice (01:40:21):
Yeah.
He's just like, I'm gonnago take a shower, bye.

Bex (01:40:23):
Apparently his shower is upstairs in the loft, which is interesting.

Alice (01:40:27):
He has an en suite.

Bex (01:40:29):
Yeah, that makes sense.

Alice (01:40:31):
There's also a bathroom downstairs.
Where's like behind the, between the,

Ellen (01:40:34):
that tiny apartment has two bathrooms.

Bex (01:40:36):
Where's the bathroom downstairs?
And how do we know thatthere's a bathroom downstairs?

Alice (01:40:41):
Because it's in one of the later seasons.

Bex (01:40:43):
Okay.

Alice (01:40:43):
So next to the stairs, like it goes to the lounge room
and then the stairs, and thenthere's a little room with a door.
That's a bathroom.
That's the downstairs bathroom.

Bex (01:40:51):
Oh, okay.
Um,

Alice (01:40:53):
and then upstairs he has an en suite.

Bex (01:40:55):
Oh, wonder is it like an actual...

Ellen (01:40:56):
So he doesn't have to climb downstairs in the middle of the night.

Bex (01:40:59):
Is it an actual bathroom downstairs or just like what they
call the water closet, which islike, it's literally a toilet.

Alice (01:41:03):
It might just be a toilet.
I don't, I don't think we actuallyget like a full view of it.
Yeah.
But there's at least a toilet in there.

Bex (01:41:08):
Okay.

Alice (01:41:09):
So it's prob like, it's probably just a toilet and a sink type thing.

Bex (01:41:12):
Yeah.
A half think they call it a half bath?
Something like that.

Alice (01:41:17):
Something like that.
We just call it like a separate toilet,

Bex (01:41:19):
Regardless, Buck has pissed off upstairs.
Um, we never hear water running.
'cause you know, why wouldthey bother putting that on?
So I, I like to think that he'sjust like hiding upstairs and
eavesdropping on this conversation.

Ellen (01:41:33):
He's lying bed like listening.

Bex (01:41:35):
Yeah.

Alice (01:41:36):
He like turns on the shower and then just walks out and watches them.

Ellen (01:41:40):
Oh.
But Chim apologizes to Albert and"I'm sorry about the things I said,"
and, Albert's like, "No, you're right.
Uh, we don't know each other.
I will pack my stuff andget out of your hair"
he's not going back to Seoul.
There's nothing for him therethat he's staying in California.

Alice (01:42:02):
Yeah.
Chim's like, "What about yourparents?" And Albert goes, "Well,
my mother says she can't wait tovisit me here in California," whereas
their father will not speak to himuntil he's back where he belongs.

Bex (01:42:14):
So Chim tells Albert the story of how he ended up in America,
and I can't remember how much ofthis we got in "Chimney Begins".
Um, yeah, I can't,

Alice (01:42:28):
we knew the basics, but we didn't get the details.
Yeah.
So we knew that his mother had died,

Bex (01:42:33):
but I don't think we'd, I don't think we'd found out why
they'd moved to, to America had we?

Alice (01:42:38):
No.

Bex (01:42:38):
So we find out that

Ellen (01:42:40):
I think you, um, I, this is me finding out for the first time,
but I think you guys might haveexplained it a little bit in when
we did "Chimney Begins" because I,

Bex (01:42:48):
so we may have retconned it back because we'd seen this scene.

Ellen (01:42:51):
Yeah, I think so.

Bex (01:42:52):
Yeah.
But I think that,

Alice (01:42:53):
but it was definitely mentioned that Chim's mom died.

Bex (01:42:56):
Oh yeah.
We knew that.
But I couldn't remember the whole,

Alice (01:42:59):
and we knew that like he lived in California with his mom because

Ellen (01:43:03):
he stayed behind when his father had gone,

Alice (01:43:05):
the Lees took him in.

Ellen (01:43:07):
Yeah,

Alice (01:43:08):
But yeah, we didn't get the, all the details.

Bex (01:43:10):
Yeah.
So in this scene we find out that, um,Mr. Han had moved to America for work.
Uh, whatever business he's in, Idon't think we even know that much.

Alice (01:43:21):
Um, he's a very important business man.

Bex (01:43:23):
He's a very important businessman doing a very important
business things in America.
And so the family moved toAmerica with him, uh, was
supposed to last for two years.
They ended up staying there for six years.
Um, Chim moved, thishappened when Chim was five.

(01:43:43):
So by the time he was 11, um, hisfather was ready to move back to Korea.
Um, but his mother didn't wanna go.
She loved it.
She wanted to stay in America.
Um, Chimney wanted to stay withhis mother, and so he says to
Albert, "I'm sure that you canimagine how that went over."

(01:44:04):
And Albert says, "Yes,like a metal balloon."

Alice (01:44:12):
Um, so Chimney corrects that.
It's a lead balloon, but yes.
So his father went back to Korea withoutthem, and just assumed that Chim's mother
would come to her senses, but she didn't.
Um, instead she got sick.
She got cancer.
She fought like hell for a fewyears, and she died a couple

(01:44:33):
weeks before Chim's 15th birthday.

Bex (01:44:36):
He tells Albert, Albert that he was always jealous of Albert because
he thought that, um, Albert hada family because his, like I said
earlier, his stepmother would emailhim photos of Albert in the family,
which I think was just her being kind.
But I think Chim felt like itwas rubbing salt and the won't.

(01:45:00):
Mm-hmm.
Where Albert counters that helikes Chim's family better.
He likes Buck, he likes Maddie.
He likes the 118 and it wasnice getting to know them.

Alice (01:45:13):
And Chim goes, "Good, because, fair warning, they're around a
lot. Hope you can handle that."

Bex (01:45:20):
So Albert gets to stay

Ellen (01:45:23):
Yay!

Alice (01:45:24):
And Chimney calls him his brother rather than just half brother.

Bex (01:45:27):
And up in the loft, Buck starts clapping

Alice (01:45:34):
Buck's like "Yes. A new bestie!"

Bex (01:45:36):
I get to keep my friend

Alice (01:45:39):
not allowed a dog in this loft, but I can have an Albert.
Uh, so after the commercial break,we go back to the Bathena house.

Ellen (01:45:49):
Yeah.
And they're gonna have a barbecue orthey're having sunday lunch or something.

Bex (01:45:55):
I have no idea.
They're grilling.
Bobby's grilling.
I have a feeling that Bobbydoes a lot of grilling.

Ellen (01:46:01):
We do see him doing a lot of grilling.

Bex (01:46:03):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, Michael brings out adult ice teas,uh, for him and Athena and normal
ice teas for Bobby and the kids andAthena questions whether he should
be drinking, if he's having brainsurgery tomorrow and he says, well,

Ellen (01:46:25):
tomorrow

Bex (01:46:25):
"actually, um, actually no, I, I'm, I'm not having surgery tomorrow
'cause I canceled the surgery,"which everyone is like, why?

Ellen (01:46:34):
They all stop

Bex (01:46:35):
and go,

Ellen (01:46:35):
"What? Did something change?"

Bex (01:46:40):
And May's just like, "Oh daddy, that is not what I meant." He's like, "no,
I know, but I've decided I'm just goingto focus on my life and what I have now
rather than focusing on my death." Andyeah, this is the way I've, like, I've got
the note that says, you know, I dunno thata man with a brain tumor that makes him
sleepwalk and and do all sorts of otherthings should necessarily be making this

(01:47:03):
kind of life altering decision on his own.

Alice (01:47:09):
Yeah.
Unfortunately, unless he's so,like he can't make the decisions
'cause of his impairment.
I know he's, as long as he's stillgot his own power of attorney Yeah.

Bex (01:47:19):
Legally he's still, he can make, he's still mentally competent.
Um, I just, I think whatever that Yeah.
Still does.
Yeah.

Ellen (01:47:26):
He should probably have some support in this decision rather than just,

Bex (01:47:29):
or some kind of therapy.

Ellen (01:47:31):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Discuss it with a fewpeople first before you...

Bex (01:47:34):
yes.
Like run it through a committee,

Ellen (01:47:36):
cancel you your surgery.

Bex (01:47:38):
You just like unilateral and like, I understand that it is his life
and it is, you know, he should, he.
Has the right to choose his medicaltreatment, and if he chooses that he
doesn't want to undertake surgery orget the treatment, that is his right.
It's just, it does not playthat way in this scene.

(01:47:58):
The way it plays is it's the,it plays as it is a, a selfish
decision and is the wrong decision.

Ellen (01:48:05):
Yeah.
Little bit.
Yeah.

Alice (01:48:08):
But, yeah, so MA's now terrified because MA's like, well, he's gonna die

Bex (01:48:11):
and it's gonna be all her fault because she told him, she didn't
tell him, but he took it as hertelling him not to have the surgery.

Alice (01:48:21):
Yeah.

Ellen (01:48:21):
So they're all a little bit confused.

Alice (01:48:23):
But anyway, yeah.
So Michael's decided that hedoesn't want the surgery and
they're not happy about it.

Bex (01:48:29):
Yeah, because he doesn't even say that like, "I'm gonna go and do another
round of radiation." It's just like, yeah.
It's literally, he's just decidedto, I'm not having the surgeries.
It's like he's stoppedtreatment altogether.
He's just gonna live his lifeand let the tumor take over.

Ellen (01:48:43):
Well, he says, he says he is not giving up.
He's gonna keep fighting, but he'sgonna seize the day in the meantime.

Alice (01:48:53):
Like, is he gonna keep fighting the Belle Gibson way with fresh fruits and

Bex (01:48:57):
no, good Lord,

Ellen (01:48:58):
essential oils?
I don't know,

Alice (01:49:00):
yeah.

Bex (01:49:01):
No.
Was she ever into essential oils

Alice (01:49:03):
and coffee enemas?

Bex (01:49:04):
Was she just the, the um, the fresh food?

Alice (01:49:07):
She was about like Whole Foods.
She didn't even have brain cancer.

Bex (01:49:12):
No, but she believed that she did,

Alice (01:49:14):
apparently.

Bex (01:49:15):
But then she also believed that she was like 25 or something,
even though she was like,

Alice (01:49:21):
no.
But one of her birth certificatessaid she was 25, so she was
living as a 25-year-old.

Ellen (01:49:25):
Who are you talking about?
I don't even know whoyou're talking about,

Alice (01:49:28):
can you tell I just finished, um, Apple Cider Vinegar.

Bex (01:49:31):
Please watch Apple Cider Vinegar.

Ellen (01:49:32):
Oh, that woman.
Okay.
Alright.
Okay.
Now I,

Alice (01:49:36):
I'm so glad that Beck's also knew that what I was talking about.
Otherwise I just would've beenrambling like a mad person.

Ellen (01:49:41):
I was confused for

Bex (01:49:42):
a little while.
Belle Gibson was all over my TikTok fora little while and especially that, um,
60 Minutes interview with Tracy Grimshaw.

Alice (01:49:48):
Oh my God.
The 60.
Yeah.
At the time I believed,not at the time Belle.
Did you ever have cancer?

Bex (01:50:00):
"I believed that I did. Yes." Anyway, before we go off on a completely
another tangent, while the Bathena,

Alice (01:50:08):
Bex and I will be covering Apple Cider Vinegar, uh, in the next episode.

Bex (01:50:11):
See I haven't even watched it.
I just remember all the Belle Gibsonshit from when it actually happened.

Alice (01:50:17):
Oh my God, it's so good.
It's actually so good.
Like I binged there were like fiveepisodes and I binged the first four all
in one night and then it was like 3:00AM and I was like, okay, I have to go
to sleep before watching the next one.

Bex (01:50:29):
Okay.
Before I go off and watchApple Cider Vinegar while the
Athena family are melting down.
Everyone else at the 118 is over atEddie's house, having some kind of
either continuation of Chim's birthdayor a welcome to the family Albert party.
I don't know what's going on here, but

Alice (01:50:48):
Chim also doesn't know what's going on because he even says, "Do you
ever think it's weird that we spent50 something, 50 something hours a
week together and still hang out?"
Um, but it is like, "nah.
What's it saying?
You got the family you were borninto and the one you choose.
Well, that's what the 118is, the family we choose."

Ellen (01:51:06):
Ah, found family.

Alice (01:51:08):
Meanwhile in the living room, the kids are all playing and by the
kids we mean Buck, Albert and Chris.

Bex (01:51:14):
Yeah.
Once again Buck's at the kids' table.
Yeah.
Uh, but then it's a really weird cutbecause we go from seeing Buck on
the couch to where he like levitatesand teleports to the kitchen.
Yeah.
He walks into the kitchen, he triesto take something off one of the

(01:51:36):
plates that... maddie is in thekitchen by herself, slaving over
all the food in Eddie's house.
I don't know what's going on there.

Ellen (01:51:43):
Yeah.
I thought they were at Chimand Maddie's house for a while
until Buck says this next line.

Bex (01:51:49):
Until the, the line.
Yeah.
So,

Ellen (01:51:50):
and I didn't even realize they were at Eddie's until that point.

Bex (01:51:54):
Um, yeah.
So let's, let's likespeed run to get there.
So,

Alice (01:51:57):
Buck brought cookies and is annoyed that Maddie hasn't put them out.
Maddie says it's not time to dessert.
And why are you acting likeyou made them yourself?
Um, Buck's like, "I drovemyself to go buy them." Yeah.
Good on you, Barkley.
You can drive.
We're so proud of you.

Bex (01:52:09):
He doesn't understand why he had to bring cookies in the first place though.

Alice (01:52:13):
Um, yeah.
So Maddie shamed him into bringingsomething and Maddie goes "Because
it's what you do when someoneinvites you to their house, you
don't show up empty handed."

Bex (01:52:22):
And Buck says, "This is Eddie's house. I'm not really a guest." Aw.

Alice (01:52:32):
And Buddie Shippers around the world, freak the fuck out.

Ellen (01:52:37):
It's so sweet.
I mean, they probably feel the sameway about Chim and Maddie's house
because they're over there all,he's over there all the time too.

Bex (01:52:46):
I don't know.
I'm gonna say that he probably, hefeels like a guest at Chimney's House.
Yeah.
But there's a, there's a other,there's this other level of
comfort at Eddie's house.
The same with like, Eddie probablydoesn't, and consider him a guest,

(01:53:06):
consider himself a guest at Buck'shouse because you know he's got a key.

Alice (01:53:09):
Yeah.
Considering Eddie's barged intoBuck's house several times.
Yes.

Bex (01:53:15):
There's just like split households with those two.

Alice (01:53:19):
Yeah.
Dunno why they're renting separate houses.
Um, anyway, so Buck says that like,Buck's like you're a good sister.
I'm lucky to have you.
Maddie says that, uh, they'relucky to have each other.
And Chris and Albertare still at the table.
Albert's cleaning Chris'sface, which is real cute.
'cause like obviously Albert's brand newand is already like, oh yes, I am also

(01:53:42):
adopting this child, the communal child.

Bex (01:53:44):
I'm gonna say he's just, he's following in Buck's footsteps.

Ellen (01:53:47):
Yeah.
Like this is he, I only onlyjust met this child, but I would
already lay down my life for them.

Bex (01:53:52):
Yeah.
He's watched, he's watched.
This is, he's watched Buckand is just assumed, oh, this
is how we treat this child.
So I, I would also treat thischild as if, as if he is my own

Alice (01:54:04):
Buck's like, "Yeah.
So that's Bobby.
He's like my dad.
Um, that's hen who's like my sister.
That's Eddie.
We have a kid together.
This is the kid.
This is our kid.
He's a communal child."

Bex (01:54:18):
Um, but while Albert is being like really cute, with Chris, um, Chim's
sitting on the couch and Maddie'sstanding behind him behind the couch.
They're, they're watching thisgo down at the table and they're,
they're both, um, they're both verytouched by what they're watching.

(01:54:39):
Maddie says that he's verysweet and she's amazed that he
turned out the way that he did.
If what Chim has said abouthis father is to be believed,

Alice (01:54:50):
and Chim says that who he is now has nothing to do with their father.

Bex (01:54:56):
Maddie apologizes.
Uh oh, she's sympathetic.
She's sim she's sorry that Kim'sfather wasn't there for him.
That he then says thatChim deserved better.
And he says, "You know what?
I had better.
I had the Lees and now I have all of you.
And I'm pretty lucky."

(01:55:18):
Aw, yeah.
I love that.
We keep, we get another,we get the Lees back.

Ellen (01:55:24):
Yeah.
Well, we kind of needed to have themif we were having this conversation
about what happened with Chim'sreal family or blood family.
But it's, it was nice tosee them on screen later on.
But anyway, um, we're not there yet.

Bex (01:55:39):
No.
But even just like the, um theacknowledgement by Chim that
he had a family in the Lees.

Alice (01:55:48):
Yeah.

Bex (01:55:48):
This, like I said, this episode pushes the found
family and the chosen family.
Um, narrative pretty hard and we love it.

Alice (01:55:58):
Absolutely.

Bex (01:55:59):
And we're going to continue with the, the found family and chosen family
because hen and Karen are about toexpand their family 'cause they are
getting their first foster placement.
Although now that they're sitting inthe office ready to, um, to meet their
first foster fostering foster kid,um, Karen's freaking the fuck out.

Ellen (01:56:21):
She looks so nervous.

Alice (01:56:22):
Karen's like, are we ready for this?
And Hen's like, after threemonths of paperwork and home
inspections and background checks,it's a little late for cold feet.

Bex (01:56:32):
She reminds Karen that they weren't ready with Denny.
So, and that worked out fine, thatthey're, they're gonna be fine this time.

Ellen (01:56:42):
Yep.
Funnily enough, they say thatsometimes you gotta take a leap
of faith and they don't say seizethe day at all in this scene, but
they are indeed seizing the day.

Bex (01:56:53):
It's, it's not really a seize the day kind of situation.

Ellen (01:56:58):
No.

Alice (01:56:59):
As soon as they said leap of faith, all I could think
about was, um, Spider Verse.

Ellen (01:57:05):
I still haven't watched it.

Alice (01:57:07):
Oh my God.
It's, how are we friends?

Bex (01:57:09):
It's very good.

Ellen (01:57:11):
I've got it there.

Bex (01:57:12):
They need to get, they need to release, the third one.

Ellen (01:57:14):
But

Bex (01:57:14):
I just haven't watched it yet.

Alice (01:57:16):
I'd rather them not rush it.
Like, I want it so bad, butI want it to be perfect.

Bex (01:57:21):
It's not going to be, it's not gonna meet with anyone's expectations

Alice (01:57:25):
either way.
I've still got the first one.

Bex (01:57:27):
Yes.

Alice (01:57:27):
The second one was also pretty good.

Bex (01:57:28):
Yes.
Uh, but back to 9-1-1.
Um, as they, as hen and Karen come tothe understanding that yes, they can do
this, they have to because the door opensand the, I'm guessing she's CPS officer,

Alice (01:57:46):
social worker?

Bex (01:57:47):
Social worker, I don't know.
Yeah.
Some woman walks in, um, with thisadorable little black girl in her
arms and introduces her as Nia.

Ellen (01:57:55):
She's such a cutie,

Bex (01:57:58):
and Karen and Hen look at this little girl, like she's the
most precious thing on earth.

Ellen (01:58:05):
Oh, she is though!

Alice (01:58:06):
Because she is the most precious thing.

Bex (01:58:07):
She's adorable.

Ellen (01:58:08):
She's so cute.
Um, and now we have another scene.
This episode is fullof like little scenes.
Yes.
It switches back and forth a fair bit, but

Bex (01:58:18):
very like emotional, emotionally resonant scenes.

Alice (01:58:23):
Yeah.
It's um, like tying up somethings, continuing on some
things and starting new things.
Yes.
'cause it's back from hiatus.

Bex (01:58:32):
Yeah, true.

Alice (01:58:35):
But yeah, we're back at Chim's house where Maddie apparently doesn't live
because she comes in asking if she's late.

Bex (01:58:42):
Okay.
So where does she live?

Ellen (01:58:44):
I just figured she was getting home from work, but she's
dressed up, so maybe not unless she

Alice (01:58:49):
Yeah, she, well, she says she changed like four times,

Bex (01:58:52):
which means that she was at another location, changing clothes.
Where does she live?

Alice (01:58:58):
Somewhere.

Bex (01:58:58):
I feel like she's just camped out in the break room at dispatch at this point.
She's like sleeping under her desk.
She's showering down in the gym.

Alice (01:59:08):
Um, but someone who does live with Chim is Albert because
Maddie asks where he hid all ofAlbert's stuff and apparently
he's just shoved it into closets

Bex (01:59:17):
because that's what you do.

Alice (01:59:20):
That's what I do.

Bex (01:59:21):
Um, but the reason that Maddie changed clothes four times is
because she's incredibly nervousbecause this is literally her meet
the parents dinner and she really,really wants the Lees to like her.

Ellen (01:59:33):
Yeah.
There's a knock on the door and they,and Chim opens it and it's the Lees.
And so, and we haven't seenthem since "Chimney Begins".

Bex (01:59:46):
Yeah.
Mrs. We saw Mrs. Lee when Chim movedinto his apartment in " Chimney Begins".

Alice (01:59:54):
Yeah.
But Mr. Lee wasn't quite ready yet,

Bex (01:59:56):
so I don't know how

Ellen (01:59:57):
That's right.
Yeah.

Bex (01:59:58):
How much talk they've had since then.
So this is so cute.
So Mrs. Lee rushes in and givesChim a hug and then she part almost
passes him off to Mr. Lee who hugsChimney so hard I swear we can hear
ribs cracking and Chimney squeaks.

Alice (02:00:18):
Yes,
it's great.
So they've clearly made up, um,between like "Chimney Begins", which
was a long time ago to be fair.

Bex (02:00:29):
Yeah, yeah.

Alice (02:00:31):
Um, and now, which is really good.

Bex (02:00:32):
Yeah.
But he's obviously they don'tsee each other enough 'cause
he's obviously missed him.

Alice (02:00:38):
Yeah.

Bex (02:00:39):
And then Mrs. Lee immediately beelines on Maddie.
And Chim introduces Maddie to Mr.And Mrs. Lee, "the people who helped
raise me." And I don't think Mrs.Lee heard any of that 'cause she's
just immediately hugging Maddie.
Um, but Mr. Lee definitely clockedit and he's looking at Chim he's

(02:01:01):
like, yeah, I heard what you justsaid and I'm incredibly touched.
Thank you.
Yeah, Chim's looking backat him like it's all true.

Alice (02:01:10):
And that's the end.

Bex (02:01:10):
And that is where we end this episode.

Ellen (02:01:12):
Yeah, it was a great episode.

Bex (02:01:15):
It is a lovely, it's a lovely episode.

Ellen (02:01:18):
You had feels

Alice (02:01:19):

Ellen (02:01:22):
It had really gross stuff.

Alice (02:01:24):
We've got Albert.

Ellen (02:01:26):
We got Albert.
We, Albert gets, I assume is gonnastick around for a while, right?

Alice (02:01:32):
Yeah.
Uh, yes.

Ellen (02:01:33):
Yeah.

Alice (02:01:38):
No comment.

Ellen (02:01:39):
Oh!

Bex (02:01:39):
You'll have to keep watching?
Yeah.
But it was good.
I mean, we had the, um, the episodetitle kind of shoved down our throat a
little bit, but it didn't feel obnoxious.
Um, we had good ensemble aswell as individual storylines
for most of the characters.

Ellen (02:02:00):
We had action packed, packed in

Bex (02:02:03):
action.
There was drama, there was laughter,

Alice (02:02:06):
there was fish down throats,

Bex (02:02:07):
there was tears.
It was, it's a good one to comeback from, back from hiatus with.

Ellen (02:02:14):
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So what's, what's the secondof the season gonna bring?
Well, let's start with next week.

but we've already done that.
Um, and an epic first date fail.
Oh God.

Alice (02:02:44):
yeah.
I was looking at the triggerwarnings and I was like, oh, no.

Bex (02:02:48):
Uh, yeah.
Um, meanwhile, Athena investigates awoman who doesn't remember being shot in
the head, and Eddie is forced to have adifficult conversation with Christopher.
Um, so trigger warnings for next week.

I mean, to be fair, you did watch 9-1-1.
You just watched,

Bex (02:04:30):
I watched the wrong episode,

Alice (02:04:31):
season eight.

Ellen (02:04:31):
Oh yeah.
How are we feeling about, like,you don't have to tell me any
details, but is it positive?
Good episode?

Bex (02:04:40):
50 50?
Like there was 50 50 sort of crying,screaming, throwing up, and then 50
50 ranting at Alice about the episode.

Ellen (02:04:48):
Right?

Alice (02:04:50):
I mean, it was better than Dr. Odyssey.
Uh, um, we, we were not impressed bythe Dr. Odyssey episode this week.

Bex (02:04:58):
No.

Ellen (02:04:58):
Okay.
I don't know either of the, shows, so it's

Alice (02:05:02):
Dr. Odyssey's actually good.

Ellen (02:05:03):
Yeah.
But, um, I've been meaning to startwatching it, but I just, I haven't

Alice (02:05:07):
We kind of made a joke that we should start a
Dr. Odyssey podcast as well.

Bex (02:05:12):
Then my response was, it would be two hours of me simping over Daddy Jackson and
then just ranting about how unrealisticevery single thing on the show was.

Ellen (02:05:23):
Like we do already?

Alice (02:05:24):
Literally.
Yeah.
But worse,

Bex (02:05:25):
I think.
I feel like there's a littleless simping on this show though.

Alice (02:05:29):
Yeah.
