Episode Transcript

(00:01):
9-1-1.
What's your emergency?
Welcome back to That Wee Woo Show,a podcast where we watch and discuss
episodes of the A B C show, 9-1-1.

(00:23):
I'm Ellen.
I'm Alice,
and I'm Bex.
Thank you to everyone who'sbeen listening to our episodes.
We are halfway through,roughly season four.
Um, Alice has got her voice back, so yay.
Yay!
Hooray!
So we are back into it.
Can't shut me up now.
No.

(00:43):
Uh, before we actually get stuck intoepisode seven, um, Alice, can you let us
know what happened last week on 9-1-1?
Yeah.
Last week on 9-1-1, Athena and the118 survived a jinxed shift caused
by the utterance of the Q word whileEddie turned to Bobby to help himself
move forward in his love life.
And this week we talkabout none of that at all.

(01:06):
Absolutely none of it.
Uh, this week, the 118 rush to savea man pinned under a Humvee and a
garage band that rocks out too hard.
Enlisting Bobby and Athena's helpMichael installs a new quote, rear
window unquote, and turns into anamateur detective after noticing

(01:27):
strange behavior at a nearby apartment.
Meanwhile, he's mother unexpectedlyarrives and announce that she's
moving to LA and Buck's reentry intothe dating pool ends in disaster.
And the title of this week's episodeis, "There Goes The Neighborhood",
so keep a listen out for that one.
I'm pretty sure there's at leastone drink worthy title drop.

(01:52):
Yeah, it's in, like, it's before the,
it's before the commercial.
Uh, the title?
Before the title card, yeah.
Yeah, before the title.
And so I was like, as soon as theysaid it, I was like, gee, I wonder
what, um, what this episode's called.
Uh, very quickly triggers for this week's.
Um, we have Bleeding from the Eyes causedby drug use, specifically marijuana.

(02:19):
Uh, there is a mention of the fostercare system, uh, references and
slight visuals of illegal surgery.
Minor gore.
Look, I'm not even gonnacount that one as gore.
It's like a couple of bloodstains.
It.
I don't think it counts.
Demian would not count it as gore,so I'm not going to, um, that's it.

(02:44):
It's a pretty tame episode, I think.
Yeah, it was, it's an interestingepisode because I, I realized after it
was finished and I was kind of lookingback at the summary of it, that most
of the things in this episode startout being quite funny and, you know,
lighthearted and they're making fun ofstuff and then they turn into something

(03:05):
really serious and not, not usuallysomething sad or tragic, it's just
they, there's often a lot more to themthan they then anyone first thought.
So anyway, bit of a theme thatruns through this episode.
For me, at least the firsttime I was watching it, I
was like, oh, this is funny.
Oh my god.
You know?
Okay.
And that, that happened several times.

(03:28):
But anyway, um, we aregonna start in suburban LA
Yes.
Uh, we have a young man named Reed whois trying really hard to study and I
don't know whether he's doing comparativereligion or specifically Bible study.

(03:48):
Um, but he's trying todo an online course.
Um.
It's a Zoom class and the professoris talking specifically about Matthew
22:39, which says, "thou shalt lovethy neighbor as thyself", except Reed's
having trouble concentrating becausethere is incredibly loud rock music

(04:08):
coming from somewhere very close by.
I love the misdirect of this scene.
Yes.
Because you absolutely think it'sgoing to be the next door neighbor.
Like he is.
Like he, he is clearly had this before.
'cause he just like sighs and heslams his laptop shut and he goes
straight out the front door and goesdirectly to the source of the noise.

(04:30):
But then instead of yelling at hisneighbor, he's yelling at his mom.
His mom and her band are playing.
I'm gonna assume they're all
"Bad Reputation".
They're all mothers.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
I think that would make sense.
That's like, I mean, whatelse do you do during COVID?
The neighborhood, the neighborhood momshave got together and formed a rock band.

(04:55):
Well, they're called,what are they called?
Mother?
Mother plague.
Mother plague.
Yeah.
So yeah, during COVID they've,like all the mothers have got
together and formed a rock band.
They're not, they're notplaying inside the garage, like
with it closed or anything.
It's like open to the world.
Yep.
Yeah.
I mean they all look likerockstar moms anyway.
They've got beautiful hair and liketheir makeup is on point and whatever.

(05:19):
But you know, he rips the cord outof one of the speakers and all,
all of the music grinds to a halt.
Not just one of theinstruments and his mom.
Basically it's like the mom likeyelling at the kid and doing
it, this time it's the kid.
It, it cracked me up.
Yeah.
She's like, "we were in a groove. What'sthe matter with you?" And he's just like,

(05:42):
"I'm trying to concentrate. Shut up."
I'm trying to work!
Then it gets worse.
Yeah.
He smells, he's like sniffing and going,"what is, what's that smell?" And they're
all looking at each other, just going, oh,
so not only are they rocking out, butthey're rocking out and getting high.
Yeah.
Okay.
Again, another plague pastime, I'm sure.

(06:08):
And he's just like, "Are youguys high right now?" And they're
all like, "No, of course not."
I do love that.
One of the guitarists, um, has got thejoint in a little like cigarette holder
tucked into the neck of the guitar.
Yeah.
Like where you wouldnormally stick your pick.
She's, that's where she's got the joint.

(06:29):
Yeah.
So yes, Reed tells them to keep itdown, goes back into the house and
of course they don't keep it down.
They kick back up into high gear.
We hear them sort of, uh, screaming,uh, rockstar style, which then turns
into screams of absolute terror.
And so read races back out to discoverthat Mother Plague are living up

(06:52):
to their names because they are nowall staggering around the garage,
bleeding from the eyes and nose.
Oh, it's so awful.
It just looks so gross.
I mean, it doesn't really seem to worrythem that much, like apart from the
screaming beforehand, but they're all justsort of sitting around laughing about it.

(07:13):
Well, because they're still fucking high.
And then, the 118 roll up.
No, but it's even better because the118 rollup in full hazmat gear and Reed
looks up and sees this group of peoplewalking towards him in full hazmat
gear with his mother sort of lying inhis lap, bleeding from her eyes and

(07:36):
nose, and he faints out of sheer panic
and they're all like, you know,flirting with them and carrying on.
Oh yeah.
One of the, uh, one of themhas taken a, a shine to Eddie.
Um
Oh yeah.
Obsessed with Eddie,
Even though they couldn't see him.
Yeah,
He's covered.

(07:58):
His face is completely, almost, completelycovered with a mask and everything.
Breathing apparatus and everything.
Yeah.
The 118, they're trying to do their job.
They're trying to work out whateveryone has, like what is going on.
Like, um, "Have you been exposed toanything that could cause this, um,
bleeding?" And one of them just looksup at Eddie and goes, "Well, I see
something I'd like to get exposed to."

(08:20):
Oh my God.
The kid is like, "What are you talkingabout? He's wearing a spacesuit."
Yeah.
Which then leads, he, thenhim realize what is going on.
He's like, "oh my God,they are still high."
And then his mom calls him a narc,
oh, long story short, apparently it wasthe weed, um, because it is synthetic

(08:48):
and it's laced with rat poison, which
lovely.
Oh,
it, um, it prolongs the high,but it, uh, you know, does
it makes you bleed from your eyes.
What the fuck?
Yeah.
It stops people clotting.
Um, so that's, andobviously rats clotting Yes.

(09:08):
And any other mammal that eats it.
Um, but yeah, so Bobby's like, okay guys,like are you the only ones using it?
We need to know if yougave some to anyone else.
And the guitarist is like, "Oh yeah, likeI gave some to Kate down the block for
anxiety and Mr. Carpenter for his badback on the nice lady on the corner for

(09:29):
her arthritis." So the whole neighborhoodhas been given this synthetic weed.
So Eddie and Buck are sent off tostart door knocking to make sure
that nobody else is, um, experiencingany symptoms at the moment.
Um, Eddie goes to comply withBobby's orders and he has to walk

(09:49):
past the guitarist who's taken aliking to him, and she just slaps
him on the ass as he walks past.
I know, poor Eddie,
it's 'cause ca casual sexismis fine if you're really high.
Yeah,
yeah, yeah.
Sexual assault is funny when, uh,you can't actually, when you can't

(10:09):
actually see what you're assaulting.
Um,
apparently so.
Anyway, um, they, and then so Buckis the one that utters the words
"There goes the neighborhood." yes.
Because apparently everyone inthe neighborhood is about to
be bleeding from their eyes.
Yay,
and we go to the title card.

(10:30):
It's a very, um, a very interestingcase to start the episode with,
but I think also
chaotic,
completely encapsulated, likenothing is has any bearing
on the rest of the episode.
No, no, except that it'sabout a neighborhood.
So it's one of these themed episodeswhere all the storylines have to do

(10:54):
with neighborhoods and neighbors.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
So now Buck is on a date, thedate, aforementioned date that
was in the, uh, the, um, summary.
And he's not, well, he, I, I thinkhe's probably enjoying it, but
the lady that he's on date withis not enjoying it apparently.

(11:14):
Yeah.
So Buck's trying to do the thingwhere you're like, talk about
interesting things on the job.
'cause like obviously he's a firefighter,his job is quite interesting.
Um,
but why that story?
The story that he decided to tell is theone where the woman got stuck out the
window trying to throw out her own poop.
Oh.
So he's like, yeah, we hadto take the window apart.
It was pretty awesome.

(11:35):
Oh, I missed the one that he wastalking about, but why would he choose
this one to talk, I guess about,
I mean, he's adhd.
So he was like, date
Yes.
Woman on a date.
Like, yeah,
like it makes sense in it fromlike, if you sort of tilt your
head and squint and, but it's not100%, it is not first date story

(11:57):
or dinner time even.
Definitely also not dinner material.
Um, unfortunately his date does notsee the funny side of this story.
No, she's very unimpressed.
She thinks that it's, it's not awesome.
She's sort of questioning what's soawesome about a woman getting stuck
in a window, trying to throw herown poop out because she was too

(12:18):
terrified of what a guy would think.
Buck does not see thered flags waving at all.
He is like, "yeah, it's crazy.Right?" Um, so Veronica is
very, very jaded about dating.
Um,
Sounds like it, yeah.
She seems to have come into this witha massive chip on her shoulder, and

(12:43):
is just almost the way it's written,she's almost determined to see the
bad in every single thing Buck says.
Yeah.
I dunno if she has just got reallyhigh expectations or just like she
was so unimpressed by the poo storythat she just is now horrified by
everything that comes out of his mouth.

(13:05):
But yeah, "it's reflective of wheredating and hookup culture have devolved
to," and Buck's just like, "Um, okay."
Apparently Veronica is new to LA.
She's moved, I'm, I'm pegging that she'smoved from somewhere on the East coast.
I'm guessing she's meant to be sortof a bitter, jaded New York woman.

(13:28):
Not to, um, disparage anybody who is fromNew York, but that's just kind of the,
I was gonna say not to, um, not to quote,was it Tommy who was saying that Apparent?
Yeah.
Yes.
No, not at all.
It's just the, that's the vibe that I'mgetting that she's not laid back and

(13:48):
easy going and fine going with the flow.
She's very anti flow, which is unfortunatebecause Buck is very go with the flow
even when he's not, even when he's notdoing his Malibu Ken impersonation.
Um, so Buck welcomes her to dating inLA, raising a glass in her honor, and

(14:10):
Veronica stares him down and says,"I'm not sure that I wanna toast
to a woman's total humiliation."
Yeah.
And Buck's like, "that's not whatI was toasting." He was toasting
her move at an inopportune time.
But you know, "apparently theykept on dating at, if it's any
consolation," and she's like, "It'snot." and he's like, oh, okay.

(14:33):
See the thing that I wanna know, likeI know that it's, this whole thing is
written specifically for this interaction,but just imagining you see my imagination,
what is Buck like on the apps over text?
Yeah, this woman went,oh, I'll go out with him.
And then she gets like thisgolden retriever, ADHD, um,

(14:58):
well she probably justlooked at the pictures.
Um, buck is a hundred percent likethe guy that matches with someone and
goes, Hey, do you want go get coffee?
Like immediately.
Like he doesn't talk on theapps, what are talking about.
Oh, so you don't think that therewas any talking on the apps?
No.
Interesting.
He doesn't have time.
He works 24 hour shifts.

(15:21):
I was just wondering because I knowBuck 1.0 would like immediately
have asked her to hook up.
Oh no, no.
He's evolved.
He doesn't wanna hook up.
He just wants to takethem out straight away.
So like, so has Buck 3.0learned how to talk to women on
the apps or is he still like,
clearly not because otherwise Veronicawould've worked it out beforehand.

(15:44):
Yes.
All right.
So we get away from the awkwardness.
Uh,
yeah, we are, we are going to leave the,uh, the date from hell and we're going
to head over to the Wilson household.
Uh, Denny has the iPad, he's gotheadphones on, which I, I need to know
whatever headphones he's got because theyare doing an amazing job at canceling

(16:07):
out Nia just standing in front of him,reciting "Peppa, Peppa, Peppa, Peppa,
Peppa." To the point that she has to throwa pillow at him to get his attention.
Either that or he's just so lockedin on the game that he is able
to ignore his foster sister.
Yeah, that's, that's likely.
My, my, my kids do that to each other too.

(16:29):
Yeah, so Nia wants to watch Peppa Pigon the iPad, but Denny is playing his
game, but Denny's 20 minutes are upand Karen told him that 10 minutes ago,
oh, I feel this really hard.
Yes,
this is very real.
So I did find it funny that, like, thatthese two kids are fighting under the iPad
and then Hen walks in and she's very, theyhad to express that Hen is not in the room

(16:56):
because she is studying somewhere becauseshe's, you know, a med student now.
So she needs to study.
So she walks in clutching this big asstextbook to her chest that has like
anatomical pictures on the front so thatyou could see, oh, she was studying,
she got interrupted from her studying.
Without them having to say a word,

(17:18):
but she brought the book with her.
She brought the book with her.
That's how seriously she got interrupted.
But not only that, while she wasstudying, she was listening to Beyonce
because she is like, "Why can I hearyou over Queen Bay at max volume?"
I mean, whatever works, I guess.

(17:39):
Yeah.
Um, Karen looks at her and says, "I thinkit's time to expand our family." and I'm
going, ma'am, you can't handle these two.
You really wanna add one?
Even Hen is like, what?
Yeah, but no, she wasn't talking children.
She was talking iPads.
Yeah.
They're about to becomea two iPad household.
Ah, it's a slippery slope.
So he Hen to her credit is like,"Yeah, I can take a quick break."

(18:00):
Like, she's clearly like, oh, world Warthree's going to like kick off here.
Let's, um, get into that.
And then who's for, who's readyfor PJ's in a bedtime story?
And Denny's like, "Can we read iton the iPad?" It's a nice one, kid.
Um, nice try.
Um, but then there's a knock on thedoor, and I don't know what time

(18:20):
it is, but like, if the kids aregetting ready for bed, then it must
be, you know, reasonably late forpeople to be knocking on the door.
Well, well, like the Nia is still up, so
Yeah.
So it's, it can't be like nine o'clock.
It can't be that late.
But then Buck and Veronica, likehow early did they go out for
like the senior citizen special?
How old did, did they go out?

(18:41):
I'm assuming it's like 7:00 PM.
It was my as assumption.
Okay.
That still seems a little early, but Okay.
How, how late do people eat out in LA?
I don't know.
I dunno.
Because I mean, in Australia we tendto eat dinner fairly early in, in
world standard, you know, dinner time.
Yes.
Like in Europe, we don't goout before like 9:00 PM right.

(19:01):
Yeah.
It's crazy when people in likeon TV shows are like, oh yeah,
we made an appointment for eight.
And I'm like, that's bedtime.
I don't, I don't leavethe house after eight.
No.
Like, what do you mean youmade an appointment for that?
That's like time for dessert and bed.
Like what?
Yeah.
So we'll say early evening, so.

(19:22):
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
But still you don't usually
it's still like it's post dinner, so it'snot like appropriate door knocking time.
Exactly.
Surprise door knocking time anyway.
Especially unsolicited door knocking time.
Um, and when Hen goes to openthe door, it's her mother.
Lucky Hen.

(19:44):
Yay.
And your mom goes, "Here's mommy."
I dunno if that wasmeant to be like, "Here's
Johnny," but
it absolutely was supposedto be, here's Johnny.
Yeah.
It was a weird introduction,but I, I absolutely love her.
She's amazing.
I like, as a character, she's great.
Like,
yeah, she,
the casting was spot on.
She actually really looks like Hen's mom.

(20:05):
Yeah.
Like she plays off Hen so well as well.
Yeah.
To the point, the first time I sawthis episode, I actually had to
look up the actress to see if it wasanyone physically related to Aisha.
She's not.
Yeah.
But like their actingtogether is so natural.
Yeah.
Like they seem like theycould be mother and daughter.
It's, it's great.
I love it.
Yeah.

(20:26):
Yeah.
So like, instead of being pleased to seeher mom, Hen's just like, "why are you
here? Like, what are you doing here?"
She's horrified.
Don't act so happy to see me.
Yeah.
And before she can kind of kickher mother out, which I think would
be the next step, the kids see herand Denny comes running for a hug.
Um, Nia very cutely sort of followsDenny and is sort of questions,

(20:51):
"What's a Grammy?" Becausethat's what Denny calls Toni.
She calls her Grammy and uh,Toni, Hen's mother goes, "I'm a
Grammy. Now come give me a hug."
Nia, very rightly Scuttlesbehind Karen's legs.
Yeah.
Like there's this strange womandemanding that I give her a hug.
No, um, Denny's,
but Denny is immediatelylike "A Grammy's a grandma.

(21:13):
Grammy's your grandma now too." And she'slike, "okay." Just runs straight to her.
Oh, it's so cute.
This little actress is adorable.
She's so cute.
Yes.
But yeah, so Toni hasdriven there from Vegas.
Uh, she got there in under four hours.
Um, Hen's like, "You didn't wanna stop andcall? We're in the middle of a pandemic."

(21:35):
She says, "you can't just show upat people's houses." And Toni's
like, "you're not people, you'remy family." Like, you still can't
just show up at family's houses.
No.
Yeah, this feels real too.
'cause we kind of had thisduring the pandemic as well.
Anyway.
Yes.
Oh no.

(21:56):
But yeah, Toni says that she,she does not have cooties.
Karen's, Karen's like trying to keepthe peace and she's like, "Oh, it's
great to see you. Like, do you have anyluggage?" Um, Toni explains that she's
staying at a cute little Airbnb righthere in the neighborhood, half a drink?
Until she can find something of ourown, because she's moving back to LA

(22:18):
permanently
and Hen is just like,what the actual fuck?
Yeah,
She's quite surprised.
Uh, so yeah, you can tell that Hen andher mother don't have a super close
relationship judging by that interaction.
Yeah.
Speaking of awkward interactions,let's go back and see how Buck's doing.

(22:41):
Spoiler alert, it's not going well.
Yeah, we're still at the date.
They haven't, um,haven't packed it in yet.
We're up to dessert at least.
Buck hasn't sent out the emergencytext to, um, to Eddie at like,
"give me an out here buddy!"
Saying Chris fell over.
Yeah.
Veronica
is ordering the chocolatecheesecake and Buck immediately

(23:06):
says, "Oh, that sounds good.
Can we share?" Veronica's like,"Uh, that's a little presumptive,
like maybe I don't wanna share withyou." He's like, "Oh, okay, fine.
I'll get my own slice of cheesecake.
Uh, looks so, looks like we have someextra cardio in our future, huh?"
Ugh.
Yeah, because 'cause of the cake, youknow, all that sugar and she's just

(23:28):
like, "did you just body shame me?"
Okay, but here's the thing.
100%. If my date hadsaid that to me, I would,
oh yeah.
I would've been pissed
the same way.
But knowing Buck, yeah,his body's shaming himself.
Literally.
Like, he's very much like he works outall the time and that's just what he does.

(23:49):
I, because we're like, you rememberBuck 1.0 was very into like his
body fat percentage and countinghis cut macros and um, yeah.
And there's no way that Buckwould say that in relation to
someone else, to their face.
So I don't know if, if that kindof, um, obsession over his looks
and his food has survived allof the stuff, software updates.

(24:09):
But yeah, he's very much, it'slike I'm gonna have to do some
extra cardio to burn this off.
'cause I still have a fucked uprelationship with food, but poor Veronica
has no idea about any of this, so shejust assumes that his body's shaming her
and he just sort of looks at her and islike, I just, I can't say anything right.
And just hangs his head in shame.
Yeah.
Buck is very foot in mouth.
Like he needs to just shut up.

(24:31):
I'm surprised he can eat thechocolate cheesecake with all the
feet that are probably in his mouth.
Well, he, with everything he over dinner
Well he doesn't
He takes it home.
He doesn't, doesn't because yeah,we immediately cut to, um, Buck's
bachelor loft where Albert'swatching TV on the couch and he
Buck has brought the cake home

(24:53):
and he still doesn't even eat it at home.
He gives it to Albert.
Oh, poor Buck.
He's burned by this cake.
He's like, I'm too sad for the gym.
Albert eat my cake.
And then, and then it gets evenbetter because once he gets home he
takes a whiff and the garbage smells.

(25:14):
Um, apparently it's histurn to take it out.
So he very dutifully bags up thegarbage, goes out into the hole,
I'm assuming to like a trash room.
Yeah.
There'd be like a trash chute thing.
Usually.
Mm-hmm.
I, I've never lived inan apartment building.

(25:35):
I have no idea.
My brother did
I'm just going off what I'veseen in movies, so I'm assuming
there's a room or a chute.
Um, yep.
And just as he turns the corner to headdown a hallway, who, who else should walk
out of their apartment with the same idea?
I don't know if their trash stinks aswell, but they've decided to take it out.
But his new neighbor, Veronica,and they just kind of,

(25:59):
I love the awkward wave.
They, they don't say anything.
They just kind of awkwardlywave at each other.
And then Buck immediately reverses course.
Like literally walks backwards.
Yeah.
He walks backwards around the corner.
He's like, oh shit.
Um, he gets back to the apartmentwhere Albert Albert is now
getting a glass of milk to gowith his cheesecake, which just,

(26:23):
yeah, sure.
Does not sound right to me.
'cause that seems like way too much dairy.
It's like milk and cookies, but Yep.
No, but cookies is carbs.
I can understand that.
If it was just plain chocolate cake,100% milk would go great with it.
But you've already got the, like thedairy and the cheese for the cheesecake.
Um,
yeah,
but anyway, he

(26:44):
coffee, maybe.
Coffee would be better.
Oh yes.
A nice black coffee.
Anyway.
Um, oh, I want coffee.
No, I can keep going.
Um, he looks up at Buck who has appearedin the doorway still clutching the bag.
And it's like, what's wrong?
And Buck just says, we have to move.

(27:07):
Uh, we did forget to mention that likeAlbert asked, um, to name one good
thing and one bad thing he learnedfrom the experience and he said, "Bad
thing, everything. Good thing. Neverhave to see Veronica ever again."
And then of course,
yes.
Which makes...
He walked around the corner and saw her
he's made meeting Veronica outin the hallway just that, you
know, the cherry on the cake.
Cherry on the cheesecake.
Oh, dear.

(27:28):
Um, but now we're going to Michael'sapartment, uh, and we're gonna see
Yeah.
We haven't seen Michael for a few weeks.
He's been busy
I don't know if it's becausewe had that big break or
Yeah, he he's been very busy.
Um, he put in new windows,
lots of windows
apparently.
I'm trying to work out, I'm trying toremember what it looked like before, like

(27:48):
the, the skylight windows were there.
Right?
I just, it did not careenough to go back and look.
Yeah, I don't,
I mean, I probably could, but I didn't,
I don't think the, the floorlengths windows were there at all.
It was just the, the ones kindof on the roof that were there.
I think its been while,
but they're now very, verypretty floor to ceiling windows.
Yes.

(28:08):
And the ceiling.
Can you, you imaginehow hot that would be?
Yeah, I was gonna say, it looks like itwould be really hot and really cold in,
I mean, they might be double glazed.
He is an architect, so like,they're probably double glazed
and they're probably very nice.
Yeah.
I mean, in LA it mightnot be so cold, but Yes.
Hot.
They're hot.
Yeah, for sure.
Nah, double glazed.

(28:28):
That'll be fine.
Also, it's, it's a, um, studio, so Sure.
It'll be fine.
And his desk is like rightin the window, in the sun.
It is, yeah.
Anyway, decisions aside.
So apparently Michael wasn't on the bestterms with the homeowner's association, so

(28:50):
Athena's very surprised that he managed toreplace his entire back wall with windows.
Um, and Harry helpfully pipesup that, that Michael is the
homeowner's association president now.
Um, so he just like muscled his wayin to get floor to ceiling windows
as you do.
Why not?

(29:11):
His logic is that he has a littlebit more time on his hands now, so he
may as well take a more active role.
The fact that he could likerubber stamp his own renovations
is just, you know, incidental.
Um,
sure.
But in admiring the windows, Athenanotices a large telescope next to
Michael's desk, and when she asks whatthat is, Harry helpfully informs us

(29:34):
that that is, uh, Michael's other newhobby, which is spying on the neighbors.
It's, it's a very shiny new telescope.
It is very shiny.
Michael's shoos Harry away.
It's like, get out, stop dobbing on me.
Yeah, they're having their own little,um, back and forth while Athena
sort of peers through the telescopeto see what Michael's looking at.

(29:55):
And what Michael appears to belooking at are the neighbors in the
other apartment block across the way.
Yeah.
Which he is not at all ashamed about.
Like when he notices that Athena isinterested, he immediately hurries
over and starts like focusing andmoving the telescope so that she
can see exactly what he's lookingat and points out his favorite.

(30:17):
He's introducing his favorite neighbors,
he's introducing her to theneighbors that he's never met
and he's named them.
So yeah, there's, there's one man who, um,does a lot of walking on the treadmill.
He's Miles because he's always running.
Yeah.
Athena's kind of horrified.
She's like, "you know hisname?" And he's like, "no, no.
That's what I just what I call him." Yeah.

(30:37):
So this is the situation where itstarts off being quite lighthearted
and I think that like Athena and Bobbyare getting interested in this because
they're worried about Michael doingthis, and, you know, they think he's
a bit lonely or whatever, so they'regonna try and help him to stop doing it.
But no, they just, they are all in.
Yeah.
All like, they're, they'rereally interested in it.

(30:58):
So yeah, there's, there's Miles, there'sJackie who likes to paint in the mornings
and Athena's like, "Oh, is she any good?"And while she's watching Jackie rips up
the paper that she's painting on and tearsit up, she's like, "Oh, I guess not."
Yeah.
Um, but then there's the mysteryman, Slim because he's kind of shady
because he is kind of shady.
Um, I wonder how many peoplethat reference this has gone

(31:21):
straight over their head.
All the young ones in the audience.
Yeah.
Only very young.
Maybe the very old.
But the reason he's so shadyis because he has a lot of
trash Athena's, like, uh, okay.
And Michael's like, "No, like, it'sa lot of trash." so Athena's a little
concerned and is like, you're watchinga lot, but Harry's got the hang of

(31:44):
homeschooling and doesn't need Michael.
Um, David's back to doinghis surgeries and Michael's
work's kind of at a standstill.
There's not really calls for shoppingmall, not office buildings right now.
And there might never be again.
Oh, that's, that's, I mean, I guesswe all, that all went through our
minds during that time, but um,

(32:06):
yeah.
Yeah.
Athena's worried about him.
Speaking of, in my state, the governmentare passing a law to make, um, it like
the law that if you wanna do two daysfrom at least two days from home, you
can do, like, you have to be able to doat least two days from home if you can

(32:26):
like reasonably do your job from home.
Oh, okay.
So they can't force people towork full-time in the office.
Yeah.
They can't force people togo in the office five days.
Only three days.
Wow.
Interesting.
I didn't know they were doing that.
It only just came out today.
But yeah, like, um, gonna be um,interesting trying to do retail from home.

(32:46):
I don't think that'spart of the reasonable,
unfortunately I don'tthink that works very well.
No, sorry.
Um, like I'm gonna train dogs on Zoom.
Um, anyway, yes.
So, yeah.
Um, Michael's not only worriedabout his work, but he's also
sad because he made a list.
So when he found out about his braintumor last year, people told him

(33:09):
he should have a bucket list and itended up being a pretty short list.
But when he got news that the tumorwas shrinking, he created a new
list of things that he wanted todo, like places he wanted to see
and then the world locked down.
So instead he just sits there andlooks at the world from a distance.

(33:30):
And Athena is like, "But you got better.You, you're still better, right?"
Because she's obviously verypretty worried about him.
But yeah, we don't find out too muchmore about that yet because there is a
9-1-1 call and Maddie is back at work.
Dunno where she was lasttime, but she's back.
Um,

(33:50):
she's not in this episode much
No, it is just this call, right?
Oh no, she's in a littlebit later talking.
Yeah, she's in a little bit later.
But
yeah.
Hardly any
May's also not at the dispatch,which we forgot about last week.
Um, 'cause it had been so longsince we saw May at dispatch.
Yeah.
But there's no way Josh would like No.

(34:10):
No, just funny that we were the,
There's no way that Buck andChim would be texting May.
Like that's,
We were like, why is Maddie not at work?
And May also wasn't at work.
Yes.
Anyway, Maddie's back at workand, uh, somebody is under attack.
The attacker came out ofnowhere, jumped right at them.
He's slashing, he slashed this, uh,caller's face, no caller's, wife's face.

(34:32):
Um, and apparently theyare still under attack.
Yeah.
Just got Mrs Wild across the street,
he's attacking the whole neighborhood.
So yeah, when they get there, uh, the 118obviously, um, who else would get there?
I like, who would, whateveris this show, um, they
Hen needs that overtime pay.
Chim's, Chim's about togo on paternity leave.

(34:56):
Um, they, there's a bunch of peoplewith just like scratches all over their
face and stuff and, and arms and, uh,the, the guy who I guess is the one who
called, was like, "You have to find Sonny!If he attacks one of the children..."
and so we don't ever see Sonny yet.
It's just all the people that Sonny hasattacked apparently at to start with.

(35:19):
Um, "he just moved into the neighborhooda few weeks ago. We felt sorry for
him, but I never dreamed he would turnon us this way." And so then Hen is
now unloading her troubles onto Chim.
We get a one of those cool conversationswhere it cuts back and forth between like
three different conversations, but theyall connect in a way that makes sense.

(35:45):
Yeah.
So we start with Hen and Chimwhere she's bitching to Chim about,
um, her mother moving back in.
Mm-hmm.
She's like, she said, came in and shesaid like, "Hey, neighbor." And Chim's
like, "that's all she said?" That's it.
Chim questions whether Toni is movingin with Hen and Karen and Hen is

(36:07):
like, "God no." Um, Karen, apparentlyKaren tried, but Hen made it very
clear that they need to keep someboundaries to which Buck says, "I don't
think that's too much to ask for."
And we cut to him and Eddie, whoare down patrolling the street.
Um, and Eddie's playing devil's advocatebecause Buck is talking about Veronica.

(36:30):
I love the fact that the, the app probablysaid that like, she was really close
and he was just like, oh yeah, whatever.
Super close.
Um,
like zero miles.
And he's like, oh, cool.
Probably in the building next door.
Oh honey.
Oh dear.
Um, so Eddie tries to tell Buckthat it's not like Veronica knew

(36:52):
that she lived next door to you.
Um.
And Buck's like, "but we don'tknow that she didn't, maybe her
phone was even more sensitive."Um, and he pulls the therapy card.
He says, "my therapist says Ineed a safe space. My apartment
was that safe space." ApparentlyHen's house is also her safe space.

(37:14):
Um, which is why she,
this has to have been thefirst call of the day.
Right?
Because they, they're just catching up onall of the, the drama that's gone before
Probably.
It makes sense of It is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, so Hen takes over and what I loveabout this particular segment, this
particular part of the conversation,is that she's still bitching to

(37:34):
Chim, but Bobby has come over sothat he can catch up on the tea.
Yeah.
Ostensibly he's meant to besupervising, but he's very
invested in what Hen is saying.
Um, because she's telling Chim thather mother is like a bulldozer.
She just barges in andcrushes everyone in her path.
And Bobby says that he thought thatshe, and um, Toni got on great.

(37:56):
They're like, you talk all the time.
And Hen's like, "Yeah. On the phonewhen she was four hours away."
Um, Bobby of course is just like, "Youknow, the world's changed. People's
priorities have changed. Maybe shejust wants to be closer to her family."
Chim's like, yeah, having her aroundcould be a huge help with Denny and Nia.

(38:17):
And Hen's response is that her motherhas never been what you might call a
helper, more like an agent of chaos.
Speaking of agents of chaos,
so who's the agent of chaos?
Is Veronica the agent of chaos in thisinstance, or is Albert the agent of chaos?
Oh, this case Albert is a hundredpercent the, the agent of chaos,

(38:37):
we just don't know it yet.
Albert is being used as cannon fodder,
like Albert had to distractVeronica for 20 minutes.
Well, I'm sure he was more thanhappy to distract her for 20
minutes while Buck got his mail,
it sounds like it.
Also how long does ittake him to get his mail?
I don't know.
20 minutes apparently.

(38:59):
But, um,
did he take the stairs?
But then Oh my god, yeah, he needs to domore cardio clearly, if it's taking 20
minutes to get up and down the stairs.
Um, but yeah, then Hen says somethingthat's very relatable to me.
Um, she says that she's never been thedaughter that her mom wanted and that her
mom still buys her dresses for Christmas.

(39:19):
And she goes, "Have either of you everseen me in a dress?" And Bobby and
Chim just like, look at each other,like, uh... meanwhile, the patient,
you could see Bobby thinking aboutit for a second, like he's flicking
through all of his memories of Hengoing, have I ever seen her in a dress?
Um,
and then obviously thinks better ofanswering, um, our poor patient Yeah.

(39:40):
Has not really experienced,uh, Henrietta's temper though.
Um, and he pipes up andsays that he thinks that she
would look lovely in a dress
like screw that guy.
But also Hen that's what happenswhen you talk about your personal
shit in front of patients.
Yes.
Yeah.

(40:00):
Um, but yes, as someone else who does notwear dresses and whose mom keeps trying
to buy them dresses, I feel for Hen a lot,
Don't buy people clothes.
No.
Please don't buy me clothes.
Don't buy me clothes thatI'm never ever going to wear.
But yeah, back to the agents of chaos.
Uh, Buck does not wanna live like this,always looking over his shoulder and

(40:25):
at which point we hear bushes rustlingand they look over their shoulder,
Eddie's like, "I think he's behind us."
Sonny has emerged.
Yeah.
In unison.
They very slowly turn around and we get,
and the attacker is there.
It's a, it's a turkey.

(40:46):
It is very large turkey.
And Eddie's like, "Hey Sonny." Andthen this like slow motion kind of.
Spaghetti Western music startsplaying and they have a standoff.
Ah, it's so silly.
Oh, it's great.
And they continuing in slowmotion while the spaghetti

(41:09):
Western standoff music is playing.
They sort of reach into theduffle bags that they've been
carrying to pull their weapons.
Except, um, while Eddie has thismassive net gun, Buck has reached
for the tactical blueberries,
literally it's just a punnetof blueberries and he's like
holding it up like it a gunlike a punnet of blueberries.

(41:32):
He's, he's brandishingthe punnet of blueberries
and he's, he's throwingthe blueberries at Sonny.
I don't know if he's trying to usethem as a weapon against Sonny.
Um, or trying to lurethe turkey toward him.
Yeah, I guess
think he's Yeah.
Trying to the turkey towards them.
Yeah.
But the way he's tossing them,
it's so funny.

(41:53):
Why, why is, has Eddie got a net?
Why wasn't,
why is he doing this?
Animal control called?
Yeah.
Why was animal control not doing this?
This is not their job
I mean it's one hundred percent forthe drama and for this amazing scene
of the two of them with a standoff.
I mean, it's hilarious,
but it's, yeah.
I'm not mad, but oh my god,
animal animal controlshould be doing this.

(42:15):
Yeah.
It's just so silly.
I love it.
And the irony is that I'm watchingthis scene going, why the hell
is an animal control doing this?
Um.
Then immediately we cut to Sonny in theback of the animal control collection van.
Yeah.
So they are there,
but they just didn't catch him.

(42:37):
They needed the chaos twins to do it.
Also, those net guns are ahundred percent real things.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
I'd never seen them before.
Alright.
So he's, they, before we end thisscene, the man who called 9-1-1 was
like, "oh, it seems so harmless.We were, we were feeding him. He
was like the neighborhood pet."

(42:59):
And Chim, like for some reason,said she doesn't, he doesn't even
know where his neighbors, it's like,the turkey wasn't his neighbor.
It's okay.
It's, it is the most awkward attemptto try and shoehorn a storyline in
it's, it is a weird one.
Yeah.
But no, he works out that soon hewill know his, his neighbors because

(43:20):
they're gonna have a new baby andit's gonna make, you know, thin
walls, you know, and then the mansays, "never let them get too close."
And I'm like, and Hen and buckboth say "Exactly." And I'm
like, what is going on here?
Like, this doesn't make any sense at all.
None of this dialogue makes any sense.
No, none of this dialogue in thisscene makes any sense at all.

(43:41):
It's like, it's like every, everyperson there is having their own
conversation and they're not actuallycommunicating with each other at all.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, it's, it's like we're,everyone's having a conversation
about neighbors, so they're tryingto be clever and have everyone's
conversations all be about differentthings, but they're all united.

(44:03):
Yeah.
It's like relating to themselves.
Except it doesn't really work, I don't
think.
No, exactly.
Let's get to the, the fun.
Like my favorite storyline inthis is Michael's storyline.
I could care less about.
I could care less.
No, I couldn't.
Couldn't.
No, you couldn't.
I couldn't.
You couldn't care less.
I'm thinking about howmuch less I could care.

(44:24):
Yeah.
And you couldn't?
I couldn't care less about, no.
Okay.
Good.
About any of the other storylines.
I just, I enjoy Michael'sstoryline in this one.
Same.
Um, 'cause he is still sitting at histelescope watching Slim packing up his,
he's sitting down in a chair now.
He's getting serious,
well, I guess know standingwould be take a while.

(44:47):
It'd be hurt after a while.
So he is sitting down,he is gotten comfortable.
Um mm-hmm.
Slim is taking out more trash.
Um, and Michael's phonerings and it's his daughter.
She's just checking in like, "What are youup to?" And Michael's like, "oh, I'm, you
know, just doing stuff around the house."

(45:11):
And May's like, "oh, doing stuffaround the house. Like what?"
Like, I'm suddenly really curiousabout everything you're doing.
Um,
he, he frantically looks around thehouse and he sees some like clothes.
Like, "oh, I'm doing laundry,I'm doing laundry, then I'm
gonna make dinner." May's like,oh, great, you're making dinner.
Maybe I can come over and havedinner with you and Michael.

(45:31):
Yeah, Michael smells a rat.
He's like, "since when are you sointerested in my life? Um, did your
mother put put you up to this?"
May's like, "no. Like, no. You know, I,I had a free night and I thought it'd
be nice to spend it with my father."Um, Michael gets distracted because
he's noticed through the telescopethat Slim is all of a sudden washing

(45:54):
what appears to be blood off his hands.
So he hangs up on May and May is like,"uh, I think he's onto us." The camera
pulls back because this whole point, it'sbeen tight on May's face in their back and
forth with the conversation with Michael.
And we see that not only is she like inthe living room at the Bathena residence,

(46:15):
but her mother has been sitting rightthere listening to this the whole time
coaching May through this conversation
right next to the, um,the fire that they built,
the fireplace that Michael had to rebuild.
Yeah.
See that I care enough about to go backand double check previous episodes.
I don't care about Michael's apartment.
Okay.
But apparently, yes, Athena did putMay up to it, um, but it didn't work.

(46:39):
So now it's time to move on to plan B.
What's Plan B?
Not a what, a who
she's sending in the cavalry,
which would then, would then make senseif we then cut to whoever plan B is.
But it's not.
Instead we have to go toanother stupid 9-1-1 call.

(47:00):
Yeah.
Bex is like, no, I'm just investedin what the fuck Slim Shady is doing.
Yes.
That is the most interestingstoryline in this episode.
Just get me back to that one.
But no, we have to deal with this one.
I don't know.
I, I love these weirdcalls in this episode.
Like they just, none of them relate toeach other at all, but they're so funny.

(47:20):
I mean, they have a, they're ina neighborhood that's about, yep.
So we're back in suburbia where we haveJoe and Don who are neighbors and Joe.
Is building a massive fucking boatshaped playset in his front yard.

(47:42):
Yeah.
It's a, it's the weirdest position.
Why would you build it in your front yard?
Well, that's where it fitsprobably 'cause it's so big.
It's, it's literally, it literallyjust reminded me of the sims because
like one, there's a, there's a ship,a ship shaped playground in the Sims.

(48:03):
Um, and two, when you start running outof room, like in on the lot, you just,
like my sims have a ping pong table and abasketball hoop just on their front lawn
because I'm like, ugh, there's no roomin the house for the ping pong table.
They like, their garage is fullof exercise equipment, so it's
just going on the front lawn.
Yeah.
But I'm just like, this guy, one ofthe, the neighbor that's building it is
like, like the kids are gonna love it.

(48:23):
And I'm looking at him going, you aregonna let your kids go out into your
front yard and play on a play set?
Yeah, they'll be right.
I'm sure there's no kidnappings in LA.
Sure.
And, and the other thing is because it islike right next to the, the boundary, um,
it overlooks like the next door house.
Like their, their, outdoor area
. Yeah.
Like their patio.
Everything about this particular callis for the drama and it makes no sense.

(48:47):
But
no, anyways, but it's funny.
So, um, Joe is building the play set.
Um, Don is not happy about it because itis not three feet from the property line.
I don't know what the threefeet magic number is, but Don
is adamant that it needs to bethree feet from the property line.

(49:07):
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Joe thought there was an exemption.
There's not an exemption.
Um, they're arguing.
Uh, Joe says that Don's grandkidscan come even come over and play
when they visit, and Don's like, "Mygrandkids are in college." Like, what?
Um, but then we, while they're arguing,we get the sound of a jet engine
roaring overhead, and as they lookup, we get a very loud metal clunk.

(49:35):
But there's like a huge shadow.
Yeah, there is a huge shadow too.
There's a shadow,there's a metal clink Jo.
Uh, Joe starts runningaway from the shadow.
Don tries to run back to his house, whichwould continue to run under the shadow.
Um, unfortunately forhim, he doesn't duck.

(49:56):
So he hits his head on like the, the prowlor the of the play set the boat thing.
Yeah.
In which, which knocks him flat ontohis back as the shadow continues
to like expand over him and thenall of a sudden there is a Humvee.

(50:17):
On top of the play set,
it
just crashes down on of Don.
Yeah.
I'm immediately on top of it.
Nothing indicate nothing about thesummary or anything indicated that
this was what was gonna happen.
So I was just looking at it, going,a car just fell out of the sky.
I do love that.
It's like the car, the Humveefalls and then it's like the dust

(50:39):
starts to settle and then thisparachute just flutters gently Yes.
And rests on top.
And then we get what I do really,I really love this 9-1-1 call.
Um,
it's great.
Yeah.
Someone has to call in.
It's like 9-1-1.
What's your emergency?
"Yes ma'am.
Uh, this is SergeantRaynard out of Fort Irwin.
Uh, we've inadvertently mis deployeda, a joint like tactical vehicle in

(51:02):
a residential area." "I'm sorry?""We dropped a Humvee out of a plane."
Yeah.
Like, oh yeah.
Okay.
Just, just the attempt to be so, youknow, precise and technical about
it and it's just gone completelyover the dispatcher's head.
Yeah.
Eddie did not answer the call.
So the dispatcher's just like, whatthe fuck are you talking about?

(51:25):
Like, I don't understand your funnymilitary speak, speak English.
So Of course it's the 118.
Of course, of course.
It's, well, they have Eddie.
Because then we get like exposition Buckgoing, "Wow, how did this even happen?"
And then Eddie, because he's in themilitary, can explain how it happened.
Um, which is, it was an airdrop.

(51:48):
An airdrop, yeah.
Because that's how, but, but beforethat, Chimney gives the excellent line,
"I kind of expected the first flyingcar to be a little smaller." Thanks dad.
Thanks Chim.
Yeah.
He's practicing his dad jokes again.
He's practicing, it's fine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway else, to be fair,
I don't think that the Humveewas doing a lot of flying.
It was mostly just falling,so falling with style.

(52:11):
It had a parachute
like Buzz Lightyear.
Um,
that's almost flying.
We're just agingourselves in this episode.
Oh my God.
Um, but yeah, so it was an airdrop,which is how the military gets
supplies, aids and everything else,including Humvees to remote areas.
Except this time they dropped a littletoo soon and Buck's like, "Yeah,

(52:31):
I guess they need more training,"
but they need to get the Humvee off the,the play set and off done because it,
his leg is trapped under, under the playset, which is on top of... He, yeah, he's
completely stuck and he's not doing well.
The leg are like an almost90 degree angle too.
Like it's bad.

(52:52):
Yeah, it's not good.
He can't wiggle his toes whenChim asks him to wiggle his toes.
Um,
oof.
They,
there's no way for them to liftanything because it's far too heavy.
But then, um, Eddie has thebrilliant idea to use the parachute.
So then we get the Beach Boys playingwith the, "The Sloop John B" as they,

(53:18):
um, and it's all about like hoist upthe main sails as they use the ladder
to hoist up the parachute, which thenhoist up the Humvee just enough for them
to pull the man out from underneath.
Yeah.
But only for a moment.
Geez, they cut it fine with this.
They just pull it up enough forthem to yank him out and then

(53:39):
it crashes back down again.
I was actually really surprised thatthey lifted it that much because
they've got the winch attached,like they hook the winch up to the
parachute and then the winch is runningsort of over the end of the ladder.
Yeah.
Is it, it's not normally used as a crane.
Yeah.
I don't know that, that the ladderis necessarily rated to lift Humvees.

(54:01):
Yeah.
I was fully expecting that to likesnap off because like last time
we saw it crumbled under Buck.
Like Buck was hanging, wasclimbing it and it snapped.
Oh yeah
yeah, that's, it was broken though.
It's fixed now.
It's fine.
It's fixed now?
It's the, like they've got,
it's reinforced withlike steel or something.
Better chewing gum, themore expensive chewing gum?
They reinforced it for the six footbrick shit house that is, um, Evan

(54:26):
Buckley and Humvees apparently.
But yeah, so they get, they managedto, um, to yank Don out before
the Humvee like crashes back down.
And as they're like wheeling don to theambulance on the gurney, Don's like, "oh,
I can't believe it. I think the playgroundsaved my life." And it's like, no, because

(54:46):
if you, if it wasn't for the playground,you wouldn't have been over there.
But, but the, your head on the playground,
the, the great thing is that Joe goes,"I told you it was gonna be great." I'm
like, wow, you are so hap you, you'revery upbeat about this whole thing, dude.
Like, yeah.
Um, and yeah, he's like, "we'll rebuild"and Don's like "anchor at three feet
away from the property line," like,

(55:07):
ah,
or maybe put it in the backyard.
You know, where play sets should go
look now we've repeated all of it.
It is ridiculous.
It's absolutely ridiculous.
Oh, it's so dumb.
But it's funny to watch.
The whole thing is stupid.
I laughed so hard.
It made me laugh a lot.
So I'll own that.
So the, um, the 9-1-1 Wiki page, um, makesa claim that this particular storyline

(55:32):
was based on a real life event of, um, aHumvee being dropped out of an airplane.
Mm. So I went back and I actuallylooked at that article to figure out
like, what, what was the real lifeevent that inspired this storyline.
I think the 9-1-1 Wiki is stretchingit a little bit because, oh, like

(55:53):
in this episode we see like theHumvee gets mis deployed, but it's
still in its parachute, right?
Because we see the parachutecome fluttering down.
Mm-hmm.
Um, so the story that they'retalking about is a 2016, um, US Army
training exercise where, like Eddiesaid, they were training to deploy
supplies, um, including Humvees.

(56:14):
So the plane flies over, they time itperfectly so they can push everything out
and it lands within their specific target.
The military is not explaining exactlywhat happened, but they're pretty
sure that it was intentional that,um, several of the Humvees came loose
from their parachute harnesses andjust went, got yeeted out of the plane

(56:37):
and went plummeting down and crashedto Earth completely writing them off.
Did they didn't hit anybody or,
oh, no, no.
It was a training exercise.
They were out in the middle of a field.
There were like, there was no casualties,no damage except to the Humvee.
Um, yeah, it was just kind of,people were, there's videos of

(56:58):
it because people were watching.
'cause you know, it's kind of cool towatch these cars come floating down
except this one just like On the ground.
Um, yeah.
And yet the military are like,there is no possible way that
this could have been accidental.
This had to have been intentionalso that somebody got in trouble.
Don't really know how that links upto this episode because, um, you know,

(57:21):
this para this, um, v had a parachute,but that's what the Wiki said.
All right, so we will go back to theMadney apartment where Buck is over.
Apparently he showed upunannounced, which I mean, okay.
Is he,
I think that's the theme forthis episode is unannounced,

(57:42):
unannounced visitors.
Yeah,
unannounced family members.
But they've decided to create gift basketsfor their neighbors because they're
about to go and meet their neighbors,apparently with a screaming baby.
But yeah, so Buck is helping thembecause he showed up unannounced.
Um, 'cause he's too afraid to go home.
Albert was supposed to let him knowwhen the coast is clear, but he hasn't.

(58:05):
And now he's not answering Buck's texts.
Um, Maddie says, just stop hidingand talk to her like a grownup.
And yeah.
So the baskets that they're makingfor their neighbors have sleep mask,
earplugs, some time release melatonin.
And if all else fails, booze.
Everything you need to get agood night's rest when you're

(58:27):
next door to a crying baby
To start with I thought that, um.
Chim was kind of getting everythingready for when the baby arrives for them.
And I was like, this is how we'regonna get a good night's sleep
time release, melatonin and booze.
Yeah.
I'm like, I don't thinkthat's safe around a newborn.
No, probably not.
But no, it's for their neighbors.
It's, it's okay.

(58:49):
And Maddie's like, "are you sure thisisn't a little excessive? We're not
launching a campaign of shock andawe here. We're just having a baby."
But, uChimTim reckons it'll work.
Yeah.
And if nothing else, they'll getto know their neighbors and Buck's
like, careful what you wish for.
Only if your neighbor is like someoneyou dated once that hated you.

(59:11):
All right.
We've got back, gone back to catchup with what, um, Toni is up to.
Apparently Athena hascome over for dinner.
Yeah.
Athena's come to save Henfrom her mother clearly.
But they, they are having a lovely time.
Yeah.
It doesn't look likeAthena's doing much saving.
She seems to be, um, quite enjoyingToni's stories about being a Blackjack

(59:35):
dealer in Vegas and Toni's cooking.
Yeah,
She says that she was "Fast HandsToni", best blackjack dealer on
the strip and Hen can't believeshe gave, she gave it all up.
But Toni says that times changeand things are different now.
Athena says that if Toni'slooking for a new career, may, she
should suggest the culinary arts.

(59:57):
So apparently Toni cooked for them.
And Karen's like, yeah, youcould, you should move in here
and just cook for us all the time.
Jesus.
Karen.
Yeah.
I don't think she's got the message.
I wondered if this scene, I wonderedif this scene was supposed to go before
the one with Hen and Chim talking.
Oh yeah.
That might make a bit more sense.

(01:00:17):
Yeah.
Like Karen tried to get her to move in.
Oh, no, I'm, I would assume thatKaren is just, it's a long campaign.
She's just continually,
she's still trying to get her
because she's probably thinking, you'vegot Hen who's working full-time plus
studying and then you've got Karen who'sworking full-time and they've got, even
though she's like working from home still,I don't know if she's still in the working

(01:00:41):
from home phase, but she's got two kids.
She would probably really appreciatesomebody else in the house who could
do the cooking and the childcare.
Yeah.
So she would really app, like, shewould really appreciate Toni moving in.
So she's just trying to wear Hen down
please, somebody.
Yeah,
yeah.
Please.
Another adult to talk to.
Especially, I don't wannatalk about Peppa anymore,

(01:01:04):
especially when Toni, who apparently,like you said, has cooked dinner,
then starts to clear the plates.
Even though that's not therule, the rule is that for you
cook, someone else cleans up.
So Toni and Karen go to clean up, Henand Athena head into the living room,
and we discovered that the reason thatBobby was not at that dinner with Athena

(01:01:28):
is that Plan B has been put into actionand he's having dinner with Michael.
Yeah.
Plan B is Plan Bobby,
Apparently Bobby has actually cookedMichael and Harry dinner as well, because
Harry says "dinner was great, Bobby,you should come visit more often" and

(01:01:49):
like Michael says, "Please thank Athenafor forcing you to bring it over."
Yeah,
Bobby's like, "She didn't force me,but um, she thought you could use
someone to talk to and she mentionedyour new hobby," and like, I don't
know, they, both of their eyes lightup and they're like the telescope.

(01:02:12):
Yeah.
Like 100%.
I'm sure Athena sent Bobby overthere to try and stop Michael
from, you know, peeping into the
spying on the neighbors?
Neighborhood's lives.
Yeah.
And Bobby's just immediately no, Iwanna see what everyone's going up to.
Yeah, absolutely.
Bobby's like, I want a telescope

(01:02:32):
To start with michael's like,"Oh, you know, I'm just, it's
just a way to pass the times.
Uh, but there's definitely somethinggoing on across the street," and
Bobby's like, "Let me have a look."
And then he sees the telescope isstill focused on Slim's apartment and
we see what Bobby sees, which is Slimtalking to two young women and Bobby is

(01:02:53):
immediately like, "um, something weird.
You mean the guy?
The guy with the women?
With the women young enoughto be his daughters?"
Yeah.
The way that was delivered is so good.
I then to, um, to addsort of insult to injury.
These women who are young enough to be hisdaughters then give Slim a thick wad of

(01:03:16):
cash, which he stands there and counts.
Bobby's like, "I thinkshe just gave him money."
Yeah.
Like he definitely just gave him money
and Bobby's in.
He's hooked.
He wants to knoweverything that's going on.
He's immediately starting to come up withtheories as to what's going on with Slim.
Um, but all of his theoriesdon't justify all of the trash.

(01:03:42):
Bobby, he's like, "Wait trash? What aboutthe trash? Tell me about the trash."
Oh, this is so funny.
And this is, this is the point whereI was like, okay, this has gotta be
just some misunderstanding, right?
Where he's seeing something,but it's not what it looks like.
And then as it escalates, like okay, thisis kind of exactly what it looks like.
But anyway, um, we can't see thatyet 'cause we've gotta go back.

(01:04:04):
No, you've gotta
Seriously, I would've taken 45 minutesof just Michael and Bobby and the
telescope because they're great.
Oh, absolute chaos.
Absolute chaos.
Uh, but no, we have togo back to the Wilsons.
Yeah.
Basically hand Athena have a chatabout like, Hen's mom squirting

(01:04:24):
whipped cream into the kids'mouths like they were baby birds.
I'm like, um, I knowsomeone who does that.
It's not me, but yes, it's not,it's not as weird as it sounds.
I've
100% done that to Baz.
I've done it to myself, but yeah.
Yeah, actually I think I'vedone it to the dogs as well.

(01:04:44):
Yeah.
But no Hen does, uh, uh, likeallow that it has been nice.
Um, but don't tell anyone I said that,
which just makes the nextscene even more heartbreaking.
So she's finally admittedthat she has actually enjoyed
having her mother in town.
So she goes to the kitchen because Karensaid she was making coffee and you know,
coffee is apparently taking a whileand she sort of stops in the doorway so

(01:05:10):
she can listen to Toni and Karen talkbecause Karen is singing Hen's praises.
And who doesn't want, does
Karen, the best wife ever.
Yeah.
Who doesn't wanna just, you know,eavesdrop on your wife, just say, um,
telling someone how cool you are andhow much, how cool they think you are.
Right.
It's so cute.

(01:05:30):
But Toni's not quite on boardwith this whole like doctor thing.
And she's asking Karen if she is okaywith Hen going back to medical school.
You know, "you guys have a good stablelife, don't you worry that Hen going back
to school might be a mistake?" And Karen'slike, "why would I?" And Toni says,

(01:05:53):
"well, isn't Henrietta a little old?"Which, and Hannah's just like, no, no.
Fuck this.
Goes back to the living room.
Yeah,
yeah.
But she does hear Karen's sayinglike, "No, I don't think so."
We hear Karen say that.
I don't know
if Hen heard it.
Karen stands up for her.

(01:06:14):
Oh, Karen, a hundredpercent stands up her.
And she's like, "no, I don't think Hen'sa little old. You know, the program's
accelerated, so she's not gonna be inmed school as long as, you know, the
young whipper snapper are going to be."But, um, Hen instead returns to the
living room where Athena notes thatshe looks like she just got run over.
Hmm.

(01:06:35):
Yep.
And Hen says Buy a bulldozer,
which bulldozes straightinto a commercial.
And when we come back, we'reback in Michael's apartment.
Yay.
Where David has just finished.
Shift.
Poor David.
He comes home and instead of,you know, his beautiful boyfriend

(01:06:56):
standing there with like the bag toput all his scrubs in and glass of
wine and a shower already running.
Um, he walks in and theapartment is pitch black.
And when he tries to turn on the lights,
yeah, there's two, there's two likegremlins standing near the window.
When he tries to turn on the lights,he gets shushed and frantically

(01:07:17):
waved at, and immediately demanded toturn the light back off because it's
interfering with Bobby and who has gota pair of binoculars at this point.
Yeah.
I don't know where the binoculars camefrom, but Bobby has a pair of binoculars
Oh, from the camping gear
yeah.
Which must be pretty good becausehe can like, see as good as
Michael can with the telescope.

(01:07:37):
Yeah.
Um, but yeah, so that's Turn it off.
Turn it off.
I love David in this scene.
He's just like, the whole time he'sjust like, what the fuck you guys doing?
Yeah.
But um,
David's like, I don't know whyI'm getting involved, but then he
gets involved and he is like, I
Oh yeah, this, yeah.
And, and I could like this wholescene, he could just, at any
point he could say, no guys.
I think this is going a little far, buthe doesn't, he just goes along with it.

(01:08:00):
Nobody in this is the voiceof reason, like Athena?
No, no.
Like, okay, I'll send Bobby over tobe the voice of reason because like
Michael didn't listen to me and Bobbyjust joined straight, straight in.
It's so funny.
Yeah.
But yeah, so there's, um,Slim's arguing with a woman.
Um, they're like comparing notesand like Michael's like, "yeah,
she wasn't ready to leave.

(01:08:21):
Bobby's like, oh, you see, the wayhe kept trying to move her to the
door, he wanted her gone." And David'slike, "what is happening?" Um, so
Bobby thinks that Michael is actuallyonto something and like, David's
like, "what are you talking about?"
So clearly Michael hasn't eventold David what he is looking at.
Um,
no, but David says, "is this theguy with the trash again?" Oh, so he

(01:08:43):
obviously knows about the trash guy
and he is obviously tried to talk Michaelout of it because when Bobby confirms it,
yes, it's about the guy with the trash.
David says, "Michael, we talkedabout this," and Michael's just
like, "It's too much trash!"
It's just too much trash.
Um, David's like, "everyone has toomuch trash. We're all getting our li
our lives delivered the other day.You got a box the size of a toaster

(01:09:06):
with dental floss in it." Um, which Ithink, I think we've all been there.
Like at first I thought that like he'dordered like that much dental floss.
No, it's, but I'm pretty sure it'sliterally just one thing of dental
f floss in a whole, in a huge box.
Yes.
Because yeah, that was very, like,
that's, that's very much Amazon's packing.
They're just gonna put a tiny box.
So the, the chaos, the chaos twins, theelders, um, are talking about like the

(01:09:32):
trash and um, you know, they really wishthat they could see what the trash is.
And David.
David, I don't know whetherit was meant to be sarcastic.
Oh, wait, wait.
You missed the part where, so the guylives alone and all manner of folks
come in perfectly fine, but theyleave battered and bruised so it's not
innocent and it probably isn't legal.

(01:09:53):
Which is, yeah, which is whythey wanna look in the bag.
And that's where they're like,we wanna look at the trash.
And David, we could be sarcastic.
It could be honest.
I don't know.
He just says, you could alwaysgo look in the dumpster.
I mean like obviously like what?
They're like, oh, I wishwe could look in the trash.
And David's like, "well, why don'tyou just go look in the trash?" and
they're like, "yes, let's go findthe trash." Like, David fucks sake.

(01:10:16):
Where are the dumpsters?
Like Michael's pointing, likehe's literary pointing guard.
They're right there.
I can see them.
I don't think they're locked.
Like let's go.
And Bobby goes into planning mode.
He's like, "okay, gimme a second.
I need to think, think, think, think.
Okay Michael, you are gonna stay here.
You are gonna do recon.
We are gonna need some surgical gloves.

(01:10:36):
Call me if Slim comes out." Michael'slike, yes, I'm on board with this.
So Bobby like goes to leave and he's like,"David," David's like, David, let's go.
David's just like, what?
What is happening here?
How did I get?
Yeah,
it's just so good.

(01:10:56):
It's very much like, you know, "comeon pretty boy." "Oh, I'm pretty boy."
Yes, yes.
Oh God.
And then to make it even better.
We watch through the telescope withMichael as Bobby and David cross the
street to go find the dumpsters as,um, Sol Bossanova starts playing,

(01:11:19):
which is the music from Austin Powers.
Yes.
It's, it's the Austin Powers theme.
Oh, it's so dumb.
And they're like, walking towards the,the dumpsters trying to be not suspicious.
While pulling on surgical gloves.
David's like, "this is insane."And Bobby's like, "this was your

(01:11:40):
idea." And David's just like, what?
But I love Peter Krause in thisbecause he is like, you know, cry, he's
almost sort of hunched over scurryingto try and like reduce his height.
So he is not as suspicious.
But then there are other peoplewalking down the footpath.
So he straightens up, startswalking normally when they pass,
he kind of hunches down again.

(01:12:00):
And he goes back into stealth mode!
he's doing all these hand signalsto Michael, to these, because he
knows Michael is watching him.
He is like, no, it's okay.
We're good.
We're good.
Yeah.
Oh, it's so silly.
Okay, so they let themselvesinto the caged off area, which is
where the dumpster is, and Bobby'slike, "all right, who's going
in?" And David's just like, "what?

(01:12:20):
No fucking way." Um, so Bobby's like,okay, and just jumps in. Um, yeah, and
he throws bags and rubbish bags at David.
Um, so David's justlike, "wait, wait, wait.
Isn't this a crime?
Looking through people's trash?"And Bobby, while going through
trash is like, "Oh, it's unclear.
Like once a person throwsaway their trash, they lose
any expectation of privacy.

(01:12:42):
But then again, this is a privatelyowned dumpster, so," and it's like,
"do you do this sort of thing a lot?"
Um, Bobby is like, no.
Thinks about it, "but Michael didhelp me break into a bank vault once."
Yeah, that's a, that's a long throwback.
Poor David.
It's just like, whatthe fuck is happening?
Yeah.

(01:13:02):
David's look on hisface is just like, what?
But yeah,
but back up in the apartment, um,slim scrubbed another garbage bag.
Yeah.
So Michael,
Michael notices Michaeland he's like, oh no.
He tries to call Bobby,but Bobby's not answering.
No, because Bobby's phone is onfull volume and it starts ringing.

(01:13:25):
And he is an old man.
He doesn't know how toset his phone to vibrate.
And so he pulls it out, and intrying to either silence the ring,
um, or answer the call, he fumblesit and drops it into the dumpster.
Oh.
So then he calls David, except thisis a great moment, except David has

(01:13:46):
left his phone in the apartment.
Except his phone is like righton like the, um, Michael's
desk right under the telescope.
Where did he put his phone there?
Like,
oh, it was on the,
that's fine for the drama.
Sh it's fine.
I thought it was on the dining table.
I thought it was on the table.
Like behind.
Yeah, regardless, like David was justlike th pulled out of the house so

(01:14:09):
quickly that he didn't grab his phone.
But when did he put it down?
He, like, he didn't get a chanceto, he walked in, he turned the
lights on, those two yelled at him.
So he turned the lights back off.
He then got sucked into their plan andthen immediately dragged back out it.
Well that's, he was probably emptyinghis pockets so he could go have a shower.
Yeah, he walked pastthe table at some point.
So he must have put it down.
Uh, no, I don't buy.

(01:14:30):
It's for the drama.
Hang on.
I need to go check.
Go check.
If he put this phone downand we just missed it.
No, we don't need, don't need to show us.
It doesn't matter.
It's there.
It got there somehow.
It, it's for the drama.
David left his phone behind.
So Michael has no way of contactingthem to let them know that their life
is in imminent danger because Slim isheading down to the dumpsters to toss

(01:14:53):
out yet another suspicious bag of trash.
But thankfully Bobby does find his phonein the trash and calls Michael back.
David thinks they've found whatthey're looking for, so that's cool.
I guess.
Surgical supplies.
He's, he's opened up one of the bagsthat Bobby, yeeted at him and discovered
that it's full of like bloody gauzeand, and other used surgical supplies.

(01:15:16):
Um, yeah.
So I think their search was done anyway.
But then Michael lets them knowthat he's Cup that's Slim is coming
downstairs and they have to go.
Although for some reason whenthey get back to Michael's
apartment, Michael's not there.
Michael's not there
because Michael has goneover to Slim's apartment.

(01:15:42):
So somehow between Bobby and Davidgetting back upstairs, Michael has
gone downstairs and then up into theroad, neighboring roading building
across and none ofneither, and got inside.
And neither Bobby and David nor Slim,none of them crossed paths at all.
Yeah,
yeah, yeah.

(01:16:04):
For the drama.
He flew for the drama flew,he flew through the air
between the buildings I dunno
exactly.
Somehow like he got one of thoselike guns that have the, the line
with the claw at the end of it.
And like Batman has
Oh yeah.
And he's like shot it acrossand then he ziplined across.
Yeah,
but even I don't understand whatMichael was going to do in his apartment

(01:16:25):
because I can understand if it's like,if Slim was coming down and he rushes
over to like stop Slim and distracthim, like Albert distracts Veronica.
So Buck could, you know, very, verycarefully take each step one at a time.
So it takes him 20 minutesto get down and get up.
That I can understand.
But instead Bobby and Michael are watch.
No, Bobby and David arewatching as Michael is skulking

(01:16:47):
around Slim's apartment.
Yeah.
And I, I have to say that the tensionin this scene was brilliant because here
we are like laughing at the other chaostwins doing their thing downstairs,
um, and thinking that, you know, Slim'sgonna come down and catch him, but, and
then all of a sudden Michael's in theapartment and I'm just sitting there

(01:17:10):
going, oh my God, what is he doing?
What is he, what, what isgoing through his mind here?
Just,
which is exactly Harry's questionbecause for some reason, um, when David
and Bobby got back to the apartmentand they sort of burst in, they're
like, "Michael, Michael," um, it hassummoned Harry back to the living room.
And he's like, what is going on?

(01:17:30):
Yeah, they've woken him up, I think.
'cause he sounds very,it looks very tired,
but it can't,
he was supposed to be doing his homework.
It can't have been woken up because wesaw Bobby's phone when he fished it out
of the dumpster and it was like 7 52.
What is Harry doing at sleep at 7 52?
I don't know.
I've fallen asleep at weird times.
Okay.

(01:17:50):
Um,
anyway, Michael is in Slim's apartment,um, and he's having a good look around
and he sees on the sink he can finally seethe sink up close 'cause he doesn't get
quite the same angle when he's across the,uh, across the way through the telescope.
And there is for some reason next tothe sink in the living room, there

(01:18:14):
is a nice spread out towel with anarray of surgical tools sitting on it.
Yeah, serious-looking tools,
they're in the kitchen.
Um, they're in the kitchen so Michaelcan see them is the answer to that.
Um, he was clearly gonnawash them in the dish.
Who knows?

(01:18:35):
But shouldn't he havean autoclave somewhere?
If he says like a fancydoctor, is he claims as he is?
No, he is, he's doing it really badly.
So anyway, so Michael sees thesurgical tools, he sees like
the bloody sponges in the sink.
Um, and he's decided he's got enoughevidence and tries to get, tries to
leave just as he's about to leave.

(01:18:57):
He hears a clattering of what soundslike metal falling onto metal.
And there is a door near thefront door that is closed.
So he decides to open it and heopens it up to find a procedure room.
Pretty much.

(01:19:18):
There's all these liketrolleys, medical equipment.
There's even that little thingnext to the door that you put like
your charts in, in a hospital.
Oh.
Um, and there is a woman unconscious,lying on some kind of procedure chair
in the middle of the room with two,two spots of blood on her abdomen

(01:19:39):
soaking through her hospital gown.
Yeah.
Like large
spots of blood.
Yeah.
She doesn't look well, likeshe's all pale and mm-hmm.
Yeah.
As Michael kind of leans overto check on her, she gasps and
wakes up and ask him to help her.
And um, yeah, it was like I'm onthe edge of my seat at this point

(01:20:02):
going, oh my God, what's going on?
Suddenly it's all serious,but he calls 9-1-1.
He calls 9-1-1 and
"there's a woman, she's hurt." Uh, hebasically tells them where he is, but then
someone hits him from behind and he getsknocked out all black to the commercial.

(01:20:24):
This part's weird, butfor the drama, sure.
Let's go.
Mm-hmm.
Um,
it is weird.
Yeah.
So Michael wakes up andDavid's there helping him.
Athena's also there
and other LAPD officers
and LAPD officers.
Yeah.
So the police got, um, dispatched.
I don't know how they knew exactlywhat apartment he was in, but

(01:20:46):
maybe David met them there and
David would have?
Yeah.
Knew where it was.
Yeah.
So Athena wants to know whereBobby is, Bobby's at, um, David
and Michael's place with Harry.
I do, I do like this.
'cause Athena is absolutelyropable at her ex-husband.
She's like, David is telling Michaelthat he needs to take it easy 'cause
he got a pretty good hit to the head.

(01:21:06):
Athena's like, "That is nothing comparedto what I'm gonna do to you three. I
need to choose my words carefully hereamateur detectives. Where is my husband?"
So it turns out, uh, Bobbyhas been kept left back at the
apartment, um, to watch over Harry.
So like, they, they might beirresponsible amateur detectives,

(01:21:28):
but they're still, you know, prettygood at the whole parenting thing.
I mean, at least Bobby is because Michaelran out on him and left him there.
That's very true.
Yeah.
And then David ran after Michael, like,Athena's like, okay, so I married two
dumb asses and we had a third one along.
But anyway, um,
um, but yeah, so Michael asks, "is thewoman okay?" And they're all like, "what

(01:21:49):
woman?" Um, so the woman's gone Slim isalso gone, but they just left Michael.
Yeah.
Like what?
Like, okay, sure.
And, and he says, "How did you knowI was here?" "We saw you through the
telescope," but they couldn't see thewoman because she was in different room.
But if they were watchingthrough the telescope.
They would have seen Slimdragging the woman out.

(01:22:13):
Yeah,
good lord.
Because they, they can see thefront door of his apartment.
Yes.
They couldn't see, oh, this storylineis suddenly turning out to be
shakier than a house of cards.
Yes.
But then also, like, they're like,"oh, what woman" but Athena's like,
"oh yeah, they're checking all thecameras out on the street." Like what?

(01:22:34):
So Athena knows about the woman?
David doesn't know about the woman.
Well, no, because Athena would know,because of the 9-1-1 call, because
Michael said there was a woman,
but didn't fill David in.
Yeah.
Apparently not.
It, it kind of felt like when Athenawas asking the questions and I
was wondering if she thought thatsuddenly Michael had had like a
relapse of his tumor or something.

(01:22:55):
She's like, yeah, like, oh Jesus, whenyou talking about a woman, that's weird.
And you took a prettygood hit to the head.
Like,
but yeah, so David's like, "Weshould get you to the hospital and
get some scans done." And Michael'slike, "No, I've gotta get home.
Harry's probably terrified."
Harry
is not terrified,
which we we cut to Michael'sapartment and Harry immediately
just goes, "that was so cool!"

(01:23:18):
Um, but Michael has aconcussion, basically.
He's gotta stay awake,
apparently is not protocolfor concussions anymore.
Oh, there you go.
Anyway, so yes, Athena is keepingthem up to date or keeping Bobby up to
date on the developments in the case.
So they've checked all the cameras.
There's no sign of the woman, butSlim left the building with a bag.

(01:23:41):
Poor Harry is like, you don't thinkthe woman was in the bag, do you?
And Mike,
Michael's like, "Harry!" But then,and then looks at Bobby and goes,
"You don't, do you?"
And
Bobby's response is, "Athena said itwas a pretty small bag," which means
that Bobby had the exact same thought.

(01:24:02):
Yep.
Like, I can imagine Athena texting justlike, he just, like, all he did was leave
with a bag and Bobby's Bobby's gone.
Like, was she in the bag?
Question mark.
Question mark.
Question mark.
Question mark.
Question mark.
Question mark.
Sign off.
Bobby Nash.
I love in all of like the, thetext fics that I've ever read,

(01:24:23):
or fan fics that involve texting.
Bobby always signs off his text.
Always.
Does he?
Yeah.
Every, it's just like convention nowthat if you're writing Bobby in a fic,
he signs his texts every single time.
It's hilarious.
I love it.
Does he, does he do that in the show?
No, I think it's,
I don't think we see him text in the show.

(01:24:45):
I think it's just that funny thingthat he's just like, oh my God,
he's so old that he thinks a text.
It's just a fanon thing,
like a letter.
So yeah, it's fanon.
It's fanon that Bobby signs his text,like with his full name Bobby Nash.
Um.
Yes, exactly.
Alice.
Alice has just put it in the group chat.

(01:25:05):
Um, but all this talk about a bag hastriggered a memory from Michael, and he's
thinking about the, um, the procedure roomthat he saw, the woman that he saw on the,
um, on the chair, on the procedure chair.
He saw that next to the door, therewas like a little bench or a seat or

(01:25:27):
something where she had all of herclothes neatly folded and her keys
sitting on top and there was no handbag.
And he's thinking back to all of theyoung women that he's seen coming
in and out of that Slim's apartment.
And none of them appearedto have handbags either.
And he realizes that that's weird
um, yeah, David's just like, "Not allwomen carry handbags." Michael's like,

(01:25:48):
yeah, but she didn't have anything.
Not, not a wallet,
not a wallet or a phone, just a key chain.
But no one saw her leave the buildingbecause she lives in the building.
Yes.
Bubbie immediately pulls athis phone, speed dials, Athena
They all spring back into action.
I don't know why you wouldn'tbring a phone just because you
live in the building, but I guessDavid just did the same thing, so.

(01:26:09):
So the LAPD returned to the buildingfor a very, very aggressive door
knock campaign where they're literallybanging on every single door and
demanding to see every single resident.
Um,
yeah.
Does a woman live here?
Does a woman live here?
Does a woman live here?
Athena gets,
I, I don't know how she knewthat she was at the right door.
Well, see, that was my question.
There was no question answer.
It's like she not, she bangs.

(01:26:30):
I'm like, I don't thinkthis works like this.
She bangs on the door three times andno one answers then like the nanosecond
that Athena gives her to answer.
So she just assumes that thisis the correct apartment.
Not that, you know, that person was atwork or on vacation or like in another,
or just in the toilet.
Yeah.
Or asleep.

(01:26:50):
Like,
but no, it's, it must be, Imean, yes, they could be asleep.
There could be a reason thatthey're asleep, but Yeah, no.
Um,
in this case, it turns out to be correct.
It turns out that that is the womanbecause they, the other thing is,
I don't know that anyone checkedthe door because they immediately,
no, I don't think theychecked the doorknobs.
They just battering ram it.

(01:27:11):
Yeah.
They used the battering ram andslam and I'm going, didn't anybody
think to like open the door?
Because how did Slim put her backin her apartment and lock the door?
Did he take her keys with him?
And then.
They haven't even called for a paramedic.
They've just brought David.
Yes.
Who's a brain surgeon.
Because if you gonna into a door knockcampaign, of course you bring like your

(01:27:35):
ex-husband's boyfriend along with you.
That makes perfect sense.
Yeah.
Like, yes, obviously he's like Aer buthe is not field tr like that's not what?
Just the, the liability of having him.
Yeah.
They they do, they couldn't wait forthe actual paramedics to turn up.
They just have to, get going
clearly,
but again, you still, youdon't take a civilian in.

(01:27:57):
What if Slim had been there with a gun?
Yeah.
What if something had happened to David?
What if David hadmisdiagnosed her and, yeah.
'cause all, like, all he does is justlike put pressure on her wound and even
if he's doing that, we see one of theLAPD officers do the exact same thing.
So LAPD would've had that without him.

(01:28:20):
Yeah.
And then he says like, theyneed to, um, get fluids into
her and get her out of there.
It's just like, wheredid the fluids come from?
Does David just bring them home?
Like after a heavy night drinkinghe's just got some fluids to like,
well the paramedics do turnup and get him out of there.
Finally, yes.
Da.
Um, David knows somehow that she's 26years old and has lost a liter of blood.

(01:28:44):
Oh, wow.
Just like, just being in Athena's presencehas given him that magical, maybe Athena
needs to go with him to the hospital.
And just,
I was gonna say it was Bobbecause he hung out with Bobby.
Bobby's just like, oh, like, have youlearned yet how to diagnose before?
Could you imagine how much time Davidwould save if he could just walk up
to somebody in the hospital and go, ohyeah, this is what's wrong with you.

(01:29:08):
Yeah.
Have a brain tumor.
Yes.
So the woman gets, um,handed off to the ambulance.
Um, Athena comes outta the apartmentand she's on the phone and I assumed
that she was trying to call Bobbyto update him, but no, Bobby's
running down the footpath to her.
She doesn't put the phone down.
And they sort of come together andthen both of them look up and I

(01:29:33):
realize that Athena's calling Michael.
And so they're standing there onthe, the footpath looking up at the
apartment on the phone with Michaelto let him know that they got her.
But Michael knows that becausehe's been watching through
the telescope the entire time.
So he literally just answersthe phone with "you got her"
and Athena's like, "we got her."
Yes.
We know you got her.

(01:29:55):
Oh, fricking... it's so dumb but
what an insane storyline.
It's so funny.
And
I know, it's just nuts.
Funnily enough, this was notthe storyline I thought it was.
Oh.
So, yeah, I was like, how are theygonna fit all this into the episode?
Yeah.
It turns out it's atotally different episode.
Oh,
completely different storyline.

(01:30:16):
I mean, yeah, totally different.
This now that we've kind of, youknow, got our little magnifying glass
out and, and really looked at it.
This, this storyline does not make senseor hold up it, but it's still, I love it.
Oh, it's totally ridiculous.
But it's so funny.
I love it so much just because ofthe Bobby, Michael, David dynamic.
'cause they are just so,
yes, it's great.
Bobby and Michael together are, arealways like, we know that they're besties,

(01:30:40):
but they're just like, they take theirbest in this scene to the next level.
And it's so much fun.
Like, so Bobby at work is like calm,controlled, you know, fire captain.
Yes.
He's doing great.
The second he gets with Michael,they have a collective brain cell
that then David also gets rid of.
You know, like some, some people, like,they have other people who like talk
them down and say, look, you got a crazyidea, but let's not, let's not do that.

(01:31:04):
Oh no.
But other people get together and justfan each other's fire and like Yeah.
The whole thing just becomesmore and more insane.
That is absolutely these two.
Yeah.
Like that's
every single time.
Like we think that it's just Buck andEddie who are chaotic to get No, no.
Like it's just theseidiot best friend boys.
Like Yeah.
And then poor old David's just alongwith a ride going like, I, I guess.

(01:31:29):
There needs to be a grown up.
Why can I feel the braincells slipping away?
Like,
well, I mean, he, he wentalong with the whole thing.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Luckily, luckily for him,it turned out to actually be
someone doing something illegal.
Like imagine if it had just beenlike, I don't know, he was cutting up
some really bloody meat or somethingand, um, I don't know what all

(01:31:50):
people coming to his door would be.
Yeah.
But you know,
if, if people saw all the raw meat in mytrash, they'd probably also be concerned.
I swear I'm just feeding my dog.
Yes.
But like, yeah, it turned out to be a heroact in the end, I guess, but I don't know.
Bizarre, like insane storyline,but very, very entertaining.

(01:32:10):
Unfortunately, we do have to go backto the Wilson household apparently to
finish, to continue that storyline.
We don't get to finish this one yet.
Um, where it's later that night, I'mguessing they have kicked Toni out.
Athena has obviously left 'cause she'shad to go deal with like her idiot
ex-husband and her idiot current husbandand her idiot ex-husband's boyfriend

(01:32:33):
I know missed out on dessert.
She probably didn't even get her coffeewhen they, she got the phone call.
Like, um, so Hen is putting awaythe dishes very, very angrily.
Uh, she's taking out her angerat her mother on the coffee mugs.
Karen's like, "Pretty sureit's not the mug's fault."
Yeah.
But she basically lets Karen know thatshe overheard her conversation with Toni

(01:32:59):
about, um, Hen being a little old formedical school, and we under, we get the,
we get the little bit of insight that thisis like, not the first time that Toni has
questioned something about Hen's life.
Yeah.
So apparently she wasn't, itseems like she wasn't super keen
on Hen and Karen getting married.
Doesn't like, sound like she was superkeen about anything in Hen's life.

(01:33:21):
Yeah.
Also wasn't keen on Henbecoming a firefighter.
Yes.
Yeah.
But yeah, so Karen is like, while Henwants her to just head back to Nevada
soon, Karen's like, "I think she's,there's something that she's not telling
us. Like, have you asked her why she'shere?" but yeah, Hen's just like,

(01:33:41):
"I don't fucking care why she's here."
Yeah.
Don't care.
I just don't want her here anymore.
And yeah, so Karen is like, "youknow, she's just worried you're
taking on too much responsibility."Hen says that the woman doesn't
even know the meaning of the word.
And Karen goes, "well, with your dadgone, she probably just felt like she
had a lot to make up for," and Hengoes, "yeah, that's what I thought.

(01:34:03):
This was her moving backthese past few days.
I really, really felt like we werefixing what was broken between us.
And now it just feels like another scar,"
which is all, which is like, it'sall very touching and it's sort
of moving that storyline forward.
I did not care.
I just wanna go back tothe Michael storyline.

(01:34:23):
I wanna resolve that storyline,
which we do.
We do.
Yeah.
Um, we get, um, expositionSergeant Athena, who is going to,
oh, you've gotta explain,
we have to explain everything.
So apparently Slim is Dr. JamesLindorff, um, who is a de licensed

(01:34:45):
doctor from Miami, who moved fromMiami to Los Angeles after he lost
his license and started running anunderground clinic out of his apartment.
Just little things to startwith, you know, Botox, filler.
Um, but then he started to think bigger.
He got greedy, he got sloppy.

(01:35:07):
'cause I'm pretty sure thatthat woman that they rescued,
that was some kind of like, um,
nip tuck, you may say?
I don't, I don't know what it was.
Like she had holes in her stomach.
I had the, I had the word,it's like a, a gastric bypass.
That's the word.
Oh, really?

(01:35:28):
Well, my, like, my extensivetraining through Grey's Anatomy.
I'm just thinking there was, there wasan episode of Grey's Anatomy where there
was a, a young woman, um, who had likean illegal gastric bypass in Mexico.
'cause her, her stepmotherwas an absolute evil bitch.
Um, and the reason that Meredithworked out that it worked.

(01:35:48):
That's what it was, was because shehad two scars, like one high up on
her abdomen and one low down on herabdomen, which is kind of where these
Oh, the bloodstains were on this woman.
Um, the reason I mentioned Nip/Tuckis because that's another Ryan Murphy.
It's Ryan Murphy, and it's Miami.
Yeah.
And so that's like, that's probablywhat they were referencing here,
probably.
Yeah.
Also, Misha Collins is on it, um,

(01:36:10):
in a very...
in a role.
Yeah.
In a role we, we'll never forget.
Yes.
Um, I still love the fact that hehad to stop doing that because it
was actually a really bad back thing.
I don't think it was supposed todo in the first place, but he just,
no, he was like, I'm just really flexible.
And then he saw like a doctor orsomething and the doctor was just

(01:36:31):
like, um, yeah, if you keep doing that,you can actually paralyze yourself.
And they were like, oh, oops.
I mean, no wonder the man's got a, like,hip replacements and knee replacements.
Yeah.
If nobody, anyway, if there's anybodywho was listening who has not come from
the Supernatural, um, world and hasno idea what we're talking about, um,

(01:36:53):
search up Nip, it's Nip Forward slashTuck and Misha Collins and have a ever
read of that episode synopsis to findout what exactly we're talking about.
Oh, just watch the scene.
It's everywhere.
Like,
um, yeah.
A hundred percent on YouTube.
Yep.
Definitely.
Just, um, just go have a look at that.
Uh, so while you are searching up, uh.

(01:37:16):
What Misha was up to on that, um,particular in Miami episode, um,
Athena having successfully deliveredher exposition notices that there are
some blueprints on Michael's desk.
Um, and it looks like he's been doingsome more designs, which Athena thinks,
you know, oh, is the HOA president,you know, starting to approve some more

(01:37:41):
works to his own apartment, but no.
Yeah.
Did he approve a new balcony?
No.
David's friend is trying to convertthe garage into a grandmother's suite
and the city is getting pushback.
So Michael has agreed to pitchin to see if he can help.
And yeah, David's like, yeah,it was either that or become
a full-time amateur detective.

(01:38:02):
Uh, so clearly, um, like David's likesent an SOS to his friends and like,
please, someone someone needs to, to give
someone give Michaelsome work to do, please.
Yeah.
Um, and yeah, Athena's like,"let me be clear. I do not
wanna work with you again."
Michael's like, that's cold.
But then Dave, it's like, oh, you sure?

(01:38:23):
I feel like he enjoyed it, heenjoyed it just a little bit, bit.
Oh, he definitely enjoyed it.
Yeah.
Uh, unfortunately that is the end ofthat storyline to my, to my dismay.
And we do have to go back to theWilsons, um, where Hen is searching
for her phone 'cause her phoneis ringing and she can't find it.
The kids have put it somewhere,it's in a basket under some crap.

(01:38:46):
And she finds it just in time to missthe call, which is from Karen, uh,
who literally just walks through thedoor just as Hen picks up the phone.
Yeah.
I'm not sure why she's calling.
Yeah.
Like I don't know why shecouldn't wait 10 seconds for sure.
Yes.
Or why she couldn't.
Anyway, so Karen was calling to askif Han had spoken to her mother.

(01:39:07):
Um, Hen says, no, not from the other nightbecause they saw Toni down at the park.
Karen has taken the kids to thepark and they saw Toni and Hen's
like, what do you mean you saw Toni?
Denny's like, "We wanted to gosay hi, but she was sleeping and
mom said not to bother her," whichlike alarm bells are going off.
Like "What do you mean shewas sleeping at the park?"

(01:39:28):
By the park.
Yeah.
Uh, and it turns out that, you know,cute little Airbnb that Toni was
renting was just actually her car.
She's been so living out of hercar since God knows how long she's
been in LA because pandemic hit,nobody's going to Vegas anymore.

(01:39:51):
They don't need as manydealers on the floor.
And Toni being older, she losther job on the floor and then
not being able to pay her rent.
She got evicted from her apartment.
So that's why she came to LA
Not to read, not I'm sure part ofit was to connect with her daughter.
It was also because shewas jobless and homeless.

(01:40:13):
And at 64 it's hard to fixeither of those things.
But also, yeah, 'cause shedidn't have anyone else.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's,
mm-hmm.
And she didn't want, she didn't tellHen uh, to start with partially because
there was never a good opportunity.
But she says that, um, she didn't wantHen to judge her and Hen's like, "Excuse

(01:40:33):
me, you didn't want me to judge you?"
And Toni's like, "Whenhave I ever judged you?"
Such a mom thing?
Oh my God.
Do want, do you want thatlist in chronological order
or order of importance?
Um, but yeah, let's just go with the mostrecent that I'm too old for med school?
So then we get this beautiful heartto heart between the two of them where

(01:40:56):
Toni admits that she has kind of alwaysbeen a little bit jealous of Hen because
Hen has been serious and focused and ifshe wants something, she goes after it.
And that's not Toni.
Toni is very impractical, very flighty,"live for today. 'cause tomorrow's not

(01:41:19):
promised," but probably always wanted tobe a little bit more like her daughter.
But instead, but she, she sharesthat by, you know, judging
the fuck out of her daughter.
Snarky comments.
I, I think like you get to a pointin your life where you realize that
your parents are people as well?

(01:41:41):
Like, you get to the, the realizationand then you, but still the smallest
thing that you can say, you know, it'shard to, when your parent says something
to you, to not, to take it personally?
Like, I don't know, it's, it'sso hard that parent child kind of
communication doesn't always work aswell as it should, no matter who it is.

(01:42:04):
But anyway, um, they do have a, avery beautiful, um, conversation.
I love this part.
Like,
yeah.
So, yeah, Hen says that like, youknow, her father wasn't always
there, but her mom was, and Tonisays that she tried, she did.
Um, she didn't always succeed, but shereally did try and Hen launches into this

(01:42:25):
story, which I, I just love this part.
She's like, "Remember that time I wasabout nine years old and I told you I
didn't feel like going to school? Andyou said you don't have to go to school,
but you have to learn something everyday. So we went to the library and
then we went to the park for a picnic,"
and Toni says, she remembersthat Hen read three books that
day, all because that littleForester girl was picking on you.

(01:42:49):
Hen's, like, "how did youknow that? I didn't tell you."
Toni's just like, I'm your mother.
Of course I knew.
Yeah.
Um, so not gonna lie, I wasvery distracted in this scene
because Aisha just looks so good.
Yes.
Like she's having this heart to heart.
I'm like heart eyed andI'm like, oh my God.

(01:43:10):
Like,
she's gorgeous.
I think this is like the most,we've seen her out of uniform
and she just looks so good.
Like her style is so good and I'mjust heart eyes the whole time.
And then like I tuned back in forthe, like, like the library story.
So not gonna lie, I have no idea what thefuck they were talking about at the start,
but, um, but yeah, Aisha looks amazing.

(01:43:31):
10 outta 10 to her stylist,10 outta 10 to her face.
Um, yes.
Could just watch that scene over and over.
'cause she is looking good.
Yeah.
I don't think it matterswhat she's wearing.
She always looks amazing, Aisha.
Yes, she does.
Oh, she does.
But like, it's just the, thelike, the fact that she's not
in a normal uniform as well.
Yeah, yeah.

(01:43:51):
Like she's all like blinged upand like, looks amazing and she's
having this heart to heart anddoing like acting a little heart out
and I'm just like, yes, the queen.
So from there we get Hen giving us the,the closing monologue or voiceover for
the episode with the, like the moral ofthe story, which is all about neighbors.

(01:44:16):
She says that our neighborsare often our best teachers.
They teach us to findjoy in turbulent times.
Sometimes they're where welearn compassion and empathy.
And being a good neighbor means masteringthe arts of selflessness and compromise.
And through this entire sort ofvoiceover, we are getting cuts of
all of the different neighbors thatwe have met through this episode.

(01:44:39):
So we go back to Mother Plague,thankfully rat poison free, continuing
to rock out in their garage.
We see Maddie in pretty much her onlylike three appearances in this episode.
Um, her final appearance where sheand Chim are going door to door

(01:45:00):
and handing out their gift baskets.
Yeah,
we see um, Michael working on somemore of his blueprints and David
being a supportive boyfriend, thankfulthat he's not using the telescope
to spy on his neighbors anymore.
And we check in with Joe and Donwhere, um, Joe is rebuilding the

(01:45:24):
giant boat play set, thankfully threefeet from the property line, which
Don looks incredibly upset about.
Yeah, he's got his tape measure,but it's definitely far enough away.
Yes, it is.
Definitely.
He cannot complain.
It is that magical three feetfrom the boundary line, even if
it is in the front yard again.

(01:45:45):
Yeah.
And then we return to the Wilson familyin time for he's final line, which is
our neighbors help define us, help usdefine and redefine our concept of family.
Um, and it is of, Toni is officiallymoving in with Hen and Karen.

(01:46:07):
Yeah.
And Denny and Nia are happy about it.
I dunno where she's gonna sleep.
How big is their house?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Maybe the kids are gonna haveto share a room again now, or,
you know, for the first time.
I don't think they're allowed.
Like, I'm pretty sure a conditionof foster care, foster parenting
have to have their own room?
The kid have to havetheir, their own room.

(01:46:27):
Or at least a room shared with,um, like the same gendered child.
Like sibling.
Yeah.
Maybe she's gonna sleep on the couch.
I don't know.
I mean, you've got Karen, who is arocket scientist, like literally a rocket
scientist and Hen who is a paramedic.
And like both of those Iassume make good money.
Maybe they do have like a massive, massivebedrooms, like four or five bedroom house.

(01:46:52):
Yeah.
They've got this five bedroomhouse with a, with one child.
Um, which is why they're like, yes, weneed to have children, have more children.
The house is too empty.
Maybe now that they've got all theChristmas presents out of it, like
Grammy's gonna live up in the attic.
Yeah.
Um, anyway, when we get the, um, aswe get the last line of the voiceover.

(01:47:14):
we cut to a door opening and Buckstanding on the other side because,
uh, it's Veronica's apartment.
Why?
Which is literally just Buck's apartment.
It's, it's so just Buck'sapartment, which I guess
it's just Buck Loft with Redress,which like, it makes sense Sense
because obviously they're in thesame building, but it's just so funny
because it's just the exact same thing.

(01:47:36):
He's knocking on his own door
pretty much.
But yeah, Buck's like, did, didI walk into the it is my house.
Um, but yeah, so Buck decides to, youknow, be an adult, um, grow up as Maddie
tells him to do and says, "look, I realizewe haven't talked since our date. And I
know it was kind of awkward." Veronicaagrees that it was terrible, and Buck

(01:47:58):
says, "I think you're great. And welive in the same building, which could
be totally weird, but it shouldn't."
Um, Veronica, we should note, hashad an absolute 180 personality wise.
Oh yeah.
She's so happy.
Oh yeah, she's far more happy.
Like, she's yeah, like so bubblyand just like, "yeah, no, like it,
it was, it was terrible, but like,it absolutely shouldn't be weird."

(01:48:20):
And yeah, so Buck hands her achocolate cheesecake and says,
"welcome to the neighborhood."
I also, at this point, um, thatwhile Veronica is standing at the
door talking to Buck, we can hear.
There is water runningsomewhere in the apartment.
Oh yeah.
The shower's a hundred percentrunning this whole time.
Yes.
Um, and she's like,"Thank you for everything.
I'm so happy right now.

(01:48:42):
And I weirdly owe it all to you.
It's not every day a bad dateintroduces you to a great guy."
Cue the Foley artist who turnsoff the water running sound
effect, adds in shower, curtainsqueaking, open sound effect,
and we get Buck going, "sorry,a what now?" And then, and

(01:49:04):
the bathroom door opens
and apparently the bathroom door islike right next to the front door.
It is a Buck's apartment too.
Yes.
It's just a weird design choice.
Um, which means that Buck has a veryclear view of Albert walking out of
Veronica's bathroom, wrapped with atowel wrapped around his waist and
a towel wrapped around his head.

(01:49:25):
And not much else.
I love the towel around his hair.
Oh.
Like it's the proper, likefull on like hair thing.
It's great.
Which would make senseif he had like hair.
Yeah.
Like if you had long hair,that's exactly what you do.
I don't know what, whetherit's that useful if you've got
like a buzz cut, but, okay.
Oh, I love it.
I laugh so hard.

(01:49:45):
Um, and yeah, he's just like, "Hey,Veronica, I think you're outta
conditioner." And then he and Buckjust like, stare at each other,
like deer caught in the headlight.
Oh, poor Buck
Albert.
There's like this split second whereAlbert tries, like, looks around as if
he's gonna bolt and try and hide andthen realizes that it's far too late
and there's no way that he could go.
He just has to stand there and take it.

(01:50:06):
And Buck looks like Albert hasjust killed his bunny rabbit.
He's like, dude,
it's so funny.
The bro code Albert's like, dude,what you went on one date with her?
So yeah, the 20 minutesof distracting, um,
turned into a lot more distraction.
Mm. But hey, Veronica's very happy.

(01:50:28):
So Buck should be thanking Albert.
Uh, but that's the end of the episode.
Like, okay.
So I, I loved watching this episode.
But now that we've talked about it again,it is absolutely batshit like insane.
Oh, it's bat shit insane.
But it's so even on asecond watch, it's so funny.
Yeah, yeah.
Like you just can'tthink about it too much.

(01:50:48):
Like it's just, it's so dumb.
I love, like Bobby in this is amazing.
Yes.
Like it's, well, he's likedigging around in the garbage.
It's like lost my phone.
I will quite happily continueto watch this episode.
I'm just gonna switch my brainoff from now on and just enjoy.
Yeah.
You have to enjoy the hilarity of it.
Like, fast forward through the Henstoryline and just enjoy the hilarity.

(01:51:12):
Yeah.
Um, just pause on Hen's face for a bit.
Yeah,
it was good.
Like there's, 'cause obviouslylike Buck's parents coming back
was really, he real heavy stuff.
Um, "Jinx" was really funny.
This episode's really funny.
We need that humor leading up tothe last few episodes of the season.

(01:51:35):
Oh no.
Are you saying that there's angst coming?
Like
at the end of the season?
No, that doesn't happen in TV shows.
What are you talking about?
Like, I, I knew that there had tobe something coming, but, oh, okay.
No, this show's sunshine and rainbows.
Nothing bad ever happens.
Nobody ever gets crushed by the firetruck.

(01:51:55):
Well, what do we have to look forward to?
Is it, uh, next?
Is it too soon to talk aboutthe next episode already?
No.
Next episode is called "Breaking Point"where, uh, I guess we're going to see
everybody reaching their breaking point.
Maybe, I don't know.
The summary tells us that the118 are called to the tarmac when

(01:52:20):
a flight attendant reaches herlimit with her flights passengers.
Athena discovers that quarantine haspushed a couple to their breaking point.
Oh yes.
We are going to haveanother themed episode.
Uh, meanwhile,
who'd have thought?
Eddie worries that Christopherwill not accept him dating,
Buck... oh, there's a comma there.

(01:52:43):
Eddie worries thatChristopher will not accept.
Eddie worries that Christopherwill not except him dating Buck?
I'm sure Christopherwill be fine with that.
It's fine.
Lemme show Eddie worries thatChristopher will not accept him dating.
Comma, new start of the sentence.

(01:53:03):
Buck reconnects with an old flameand finds himself in the middle
of Albert's new relationship.
There should be another comma there.
And Maddie and Chimney make abig decision about their baby.
No Buck finds himself in the middle ofAlbert's new relationship and Maddie and
Chimney, what is happening in this show?

(01:53:27):
I don't remember this episode at all.
Um, I remember literally zero,zero memory of this episode.
I remember the, um, the flight attendant.
That's pretty much all I remember.
Yeah.
Triggers for this.
Um, apart from potentialmenage a trois, um, includes
Buck that's your sister!

(01:53:48):
No.
I mean, he's already tried toget the shower with her once
He thought it was Eddie this time.
Triggers for this episode includeclaustrophobia, specifically being
sealed behind a, I don't rememberthat, being sealed behind the wall.

(01:54:12):
I remember none of this,
um, domestic violence.
There is no specifics on that.
Uh, the foster care system, whichI'm pretty sure just means Nia,
um, minor gore for a champagne corkembedded in a man's neck, and needles,
specifically people being vaccinated.

(01:54:33):
It was a really good,yeah bridging episode.
Yeah.
Nice and lighthearted
like it could have... Okay.
I, without knowing the re what happens inthe rest of the season, um, it feels like
it could have gone anywhere in the season.
Like there was nothing in itthat was particularly relating
to any long storylines?
Actually.

(01:54:54):
Okay.
So I guess Hen's mom had to arrive atsome point and she's hanging around
for a bit, so at least, but yeah.
Okay.
Maybe I won't make that commentuntil I've seen some more episodes.
I'm just thinking, and I don't really,
no, she's around.
She's around.
I don't know about the rest ofthe season, but she's around.
It's not a significant, like, itdoesn't kick off a particularly

(01:55:16):
important story arc. It's just morelike, oh, we need to, in, we need to
do something with Hen that's not givingher a child or, um, having her cheat.
So let's bring back a family memberand we've already done the dead
dad, so that leaves the mother.
Oh my goodness.
Um, all right.
