Episode Transcript

(00:14):
9-1-1. What's your emergency?
Welcome back to That WeeWoo Show, apodcast where we watch and discuss
episodes of the A B C show, 9-1-1.
I'm Bex,
I'm Alice.
And I'm Ellen.
As always, thank you to everyone who haslistened to our episodes so far, who have
shared our social media posts, who havecommented on our social media posts or

(00:36):
on our, the podcasting platform of theirchoice as they listen to our episodes.
We love to hear from you,so please keep that up.
And thank you to everyone who has takenthe time out to rate us on Spotify and
or Apple Podcast, which, it gives usthe warm and fuzzies to hear what you
think about us, and it also helps toget us in more people's ears, which

(00:58):
although slightly terrifying, tothink that more people are listening
to us is also a good thing, I think.
Yeah, allegedly.
Thank you.
But no thank you.
We really do appreciate it.
So let's dive straight into, um,talking about this episode that we all

(01:21):
kind of struggled with, but we will,um, we'll get to that in a minute.
Firstly, Alice, do you wannaremind us about the better
times in the past of 9-1-1?
Yeah.
Last week's action packed episodeof 9-1-1, uh, Hen and Karen
prepared for their foster daughterto return to her birth mother.
The 118 dealt with a fiery carcrash caused by a drunk driver in

(01:42):
which Albert came close to death.
And Maddie and Chimney welcomedbaby Jee-Yun into the world.
Yay,
Jee exists now
finally, we can mention Jeewithout Ellen going "who?"
Yeah.
So, uh, speaking of Jee Yun, we're up toan episode that is called "Parenthood".

(02:04):
This is episode 10 of season four,first aired on the 26th of April.
In 2021.
The official summary says, the 118responds to a series of calls dealing
with parents and their children,including a disastrous birthday
party thrown by a mommy blogger.
Meanwhile, Athena and Michaeltalked to May about her past suicide

(02:25):
attempt to chimney and Maddieadjust to life with their newborn.
And Hen and Karen are emotionallyshattered as their foster daughter
Nia is reunited with her birth mother.
Um, and we do have some fairlymajor trigger, like probably the
most major triggers that we canalmost have are in this episode.
We have, uh, a triggerfor assisted suicide.

(02:48):
We'll get to that in a minute.
Um, abuse of power, uh, dealing withfoster parents and biological parents.
Um, bad parenting, cancer.
Flashbacks to a suicide attempt viapills, um, in season one, where May,
with May's attempted suicide, includingthe 9-1-1 call that Athena made.

(03:09):
Um, and a general warningfor foster care system.
So we have like just a, a warningthat we also didn't really enjoy...
like even though this episode containssome really major and dark, I mean
not dark, but heavy subject material,
it's very heavy.
And I think that's whyI struggled with it.

(03:30):
It's, it's hard, it's a difficultwatch and it's probably, I mean,
we'll do the best that we can interms of addressing some of the,
the things that, um, are in it.
But if we, if we do startto make light of things.
Just know that that's how we copewith heavy issues a lot of the time.
And we, we've said this in the past,that sometimes we make, we make jokes
about things that, um, just to helpus get through it, you know, because

(03:53):
there is a lot of heavy stuff in here.
I'm flagging right now.
It wasn't the heaviness of theepisode, it was literally, I did not
care about anybody in this episode.
It, it was a very slow episode in general.
Uh, I think they tried to make it reallyemotionally, um, affecting, but in all
it did was kind of draw everything outand make it really freaking boring.

(04:17):
Anyway, we'll do our best.
And, um, I'm sorry if this isan episode that you really enjoy
because the rest of us are like, eh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh, all right.
To kick us off, I am going to drop aquick trivia tidbit in that the episode
title "Parenthood" not only reflects thefact that this entire episode is about

(04:37):
parenting and parenthood, but I thinkis also a nice little callback to a
previous, uh, gig that Peter Krause hadin that he was one of the, um, leads in
an ensemble series called Parenthood.
Oh yeah.
Very cute.
In which he met his previouswife on that series.

(05:01):
Oh.
And in, and in very Dexter fashion,she played his sibling on the show.
Oh no.
Oh,
Right.
So, uh, let's get into it.
Um, the summary kept callingthis woman a mummy blogger.
I don't know that she'snecessarily a mummy blogger.
She seems to be a content creatorthat focuses on like mummy stuff.

(05:26):
Yeah, I feel like she's on Instagram or
yeah, she'd be like a mummyTikTok or a mummy instagramer.
I don't necessarily think that she'sgot an old fashioned blog, but I don't
think that the people writing the showhave caught up with social media trends
and they're still thinking about likethe, the early two thousands mummy
bloggers where people were literallywriting blogs and writing large swathes

(05:49):
of words about parenting and mummyhood.
This
is, this is 20, 21 likeTikTok was around then, right?
It wasn't that long ago.
Yeah, but how old are thepeople who are writing the show
and how into TikTok are they?
Yeah.
Um, but it's, it's not TikTok.
Funnily enough, this episode hasa lot to do with Instagram and

(06:10):
I'm wondering why Instagram getssuch a shout out from this show.
Oh,
I don't have an answer.
You think it might have been aproduct placement type thing?
I have no idea.
But it's just this, like the go-tosocial media platform seems to be.
Insta.
Yeah.
I don't, it's interesting.
Mm-hmm.
Um, but yes, we have"supermom_beth!" Is live for her

(06:36):
son Bryson's 12th birthday party.
And she's going to use the live to showall of her followers how a successful
super mom or a dad throws a birthday bash.
And at this point,
maybe not like this,
she, at this point, she cuts to her sonand she's like, "How are you enjoying
your party?" And Bryson holds his hand upover the camera in a like, do not film me,

(07:04):
Bryson.
Uh, basically he's, he isnot enjoying it at all.
He thinks it is the, the mostembarrassing birthday party that
he has ever had and ever seen.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Fair.
Because he is 12.
He's not like five,
he's 12.
And the birthday party is, I thoughtit was like cowboy or western themed.
It turns out it's barnyard themed.

(07:27):
Oh yeah.
Okay.
Which is really cute if your kid is five.
Yeah.
Like one of my friends just had areally cute barnyard theme birthday
party for her son's second birthday.
Yeah.
Bryson wanted to do paintball orlaser tag, which I think is much more
age appropriate for a 12-year-old.

(07:48):
Um, but that would go against,um, you couldn't monetize that.
Can't really go live.
She would not, she wouldn't,her sponsors would not, um,
support that kind of a party.
He's like, "it's so lame. I can't believeyou you made me wear this." I'm like, wow.
My 11-year-old would not letme force her to wear something

(08:12):
that she did not want to wear.
Like, that's interesting point that like,I can't believe you forced me to wear it.
I'm like, sir, you still put it on likeyou're complaining about it, but you
do have some autonomy with your body.
You could have refusedto put it on at all.
Yeah.
Anyway, this stuff is for babies.
Apparently the one good thing aboutthe party is the trampoline, which

(08:35):
look is the most decrepit, um,trampoline that I've ever seen.
And I grew up in the nineties.
It's like from the, yeah,it's from the nineties.
I'm pretty sure they found itin a garage from the nineties.
And it does have like, you know,fences around it kind of thing.
Like it's not,
yeah.
I.
It's not like an old nineties trampoline.
It's not early nineties.
'cause we didn't have thatsafety shit, but like Yeah,

(09:00):
we just bounced it right off.
Pretty much.
Yeah.
Um, but in this case it's not that,that's causing the safety issue.
I was, I was watching becausethis, so, okay, so I watched this
episode before, like a few weeks agobefore we got to it in the podcast.
So I did not have the triggers,so I didn't know what was
coming when I watched this.

(09:20):
Right?
Oh no.
So I'm watching this and there'slike a party happening and these
kids are jumping in the trampoline.
They keep, they keep flashing tothe springs and I'm like, oh no.
And um, when it actuallyhappened, I was like, oh, okay.
That was, that was not as bad as Ithought it was gonna, I thought like the
kids were gonna go flying or like, youknow, it was gonna fall onto the ground.

(09:42):
Everyone break their legs or something.
But no, instead the mom.
Just announces that they're gonnaplay pin the tail on the donkey.
And Bryson is like, "I think I likedit better when you had a real job," and
then he fucks off to the trampoline andum, she's gone live on Instagram again

(10:03):
and she's talking about like, "Yeah,we're gonna pin the tail on the donkey.
This game's a classic!" And no one lookslike they actually wanna play the game.
No.
But um, as Bryson is now jumpingon the trampoline, the springs
break and fire like ping off andthey stab through his mom, his.

(10:29):
Like pin her hand to the doorthat pin her to the donkey
also her torso.
Yeah.
They, they like how strongwere they have going?
See that's the thing.
So you had two springs go flyingoff on the same trajectory,
which was pretty much horizontal.
'cause we got like a full onFinal Destination Five, 3D kind
of moment, seeing the springscome flying at the camera.

(10:50):
And then they continue their velocity withenough force that they're able to go not
only through Beth's hand, but through herhand and through the wood of the door.
Yeah!
Because we do get to see thebloodied end of a spring protruding
through the door on the other side.
Now look, being in the nineties withdecrepit trampolines, I have seen many

(11:14):
a spring go flying off a trampoline bed.
None of them flew horizontally.
They all just kind of pingedup in an arc and went flying
and none of 'em got embeddedon in walls or people or like
Well, no, because they kind of went up.
Okay.
Not just straight.
Yes.
None of them got embedded anywhere.
Like both ends of the springare, are connected to something.

(11:36):
So
Yes.
So for both, for two springs, for bothends to come loose and ping off in the
same trajectory at the same angle going,flying straight, not tumbling, not
spinning, um, and maintain the, yeah,it's just, it's so for the drama, it's
for the drama.
It's for the drama.

(11:57):
But again, it's not evenenjoyable for the drama.
No.
Because you're kind of like, ma'am, youwanted to play pin the tail on the donkey.
Now you, you got it.
You wanted it, you got it.
Yeah.
Now you're pinned to the don.
Yeah.
Yes.
Now you are pinned to the donkey
and even when Bryson calls 9-1-1,
which ironically yes.
He says, "My mom's pinned to the donkey!"Alright, so this next scene is possibly

(12:20):
the best part of the entire, likebest as in like the funniest because,
and the rest of it is pretty low bar.
But, um, I liked this part, yes,because it was really funny.
Um,
because we have the 118 rock upand they have their victim who has
been impaled with, uh, two objects.
And as we have learned from the show,if you have a person that has got a

(12:44):
puncture injury, you do not removesaid object, lest they bleed out
before you can get them to a hospital.
Unless it's a champagne co impedinga person's ability to breathe, in
which case pop that sucker right out.
Um,
yes, Eddie diagnoses that, uh, she,the spring has missed her tendon
because she can wiggle her fingers.

(13:06):
Yes.
Um, but Hen is slightly concernedthat even though, uh, Beth is
stable, um, she's breathing well,she doesn't know how they're going
to detach her from the barn door inorder to transport her to hospital.
Um, and Bobby, using his big brainsays, "We don't, we transport her

(13:29):
with it, donkey and all," and thenlooks around going, "Where's Buck?"
Hehe, I love this.
Meanwhile, the most exciting thingthat has ever happened to the birthday
party as far as the 12 year oldsis number one, like Bryson's mom
getting punctured by the spikes.
Number two, a firefighter is showingthem the circular saw because Buck has

(13:52):
got a group of 12 year olds over bythe trampoline, and he's talking them
through the circular saw and how coolit is, and they look absolutely rapt.
Um,
especially that one kid who goes,"Oh, I bet it could slice through bone
too," and Buck's just like, oh, okay.
Alright then.

(14:12):
So at this point he gets saved by the,um, the, the chief who calls Buck over
because they actually do need that saw,um, in order to cut through the hinges so
they can remove the door from the barn.
Oh, this was great because okay, theygo through a little bit about how
she's whinging, about how it's a mommyblog and you know, "I spent months
planning this thing, blah, blah, blah.

(14:34):
My kid hates me," and Bobby'slike, "He doesn't hate you.
He's just 12.
He'll get over it." I'mlike, oh, that's so true.
And some days I really feel that.
Eddie says, "Phase one was a success.
There's no way that we can getthis door into the ambulance.
We gotta call for a flatbed," andI'm, and I turned to my sister-in-law
who I was watching this with, andI said, "Just strap her to the

(14:54):
roof." And then the next scene,
they've literallystrapped her to the roof.
They've strapped her to the roof.
of the engine truck.
Yep.
Could not believe it.
Anyway.
Yeah, I mean, it makes sense.
I mean, how else are they gonna, if they,if they have to wait for, for a larger
sort of ambulance to come, then she mighthave be in more trouble than she is.

(15:15):
I don't think they werecalling for an ambulance.
I think they were literally tryingto get a ute and they were just gonna
strap her into the back of the ute.
Yeah.
But yep.
Strap her to the top of the engine truck.
That works fine.
So we have to wrap this up becausewe're gonna get a title reference.
Unfortunately, uh, they get Bethto the hospital, they unload her

(15:36):
from the truck onto a gurney.
Uh, Bryson got to ride in a fire truck.
So that's, you know, cherryon the, the cake that is his
birthday.
Yeah.
It's a great birthday now.
Yeah.
He's got Beth's phone.
And while Beth is, um, trying to apologizeto him and tell him that she's going
to give up mommy blogging, she's gonnago back to her normal job, he says to

(15:59):
her, "No, you were live the entire time.
The comments are rolling in.
You went viral." And Beth immediatelyperks up and goes, "We're gonna be rich.
I'm monetizing parenthood."Everybody takes a drink and rolls
their eyes and goes, oh my God.
We're, that's the kindof episode we're in for.

(16:22):
And we go to the title card.
Yep.
So that, that's like allthe fun for this episode.
I don't think anything else is like anyNo ounce of fun the rest of the time.
Nope, not really.
All right.
So we'll go and check in with the Wilsons.
Yes.
And when we were talking last week abouthaving the, the wisdom of Karen fostering,

(16:48):
considering all of the, the trauma inher past, uh, we kind of forgot about
Denny and the trauma in his past and histrauma is rearing its ugly little head.
Yeah.
Um, because with Nia being reunitedwith her biological or quote unquote
real mother Denny is now terrifiedthat he's gonna be sent away too.

(17:11):
Oh, bless him.
Yeah.
He didn't sort of let on atall last week that he was.
He was sad that Nia wasleaving, but he didn't seem
No.
'cause they hadn't thought of that story.
Like it
scared.
Yeah, that's right.
Someone went, oh shit.
Yeah, that's right.
Like how we gotta really ringthe emotional, make emotional
wrecks out of everyone.
How can we do that?
Hey, how do you think Danny would copewith seeing kids like being sent back to

(17:35):
their real moms, considering like thesetwo are not his quote unquote real moms.
I don't know.
Let's write that into the episode.
Uh, well, thankfully, um, they have apiece of paper from a judge to say that
he, that Hen and Karen are his real moms.
Yes.
'cause they literally adopted him.
They, no one will ever comeand take him away from them.

(17:57):
And they reassure him of that.
And it's really cute.
It is kind of cute.
And I liked that they sort of,he sort of asked if his real.
Uh, no, his other mom not want him.
Yeah.
They literally have him stop andrealize what he was about to say and
the impact that could have on Henand Karen and then very carefully

(18:18):
chooses his words moving forward.
Yeah.
Bless him.
But yeah, Hen just tells himthat she was sick and she wasn't
in a place where she could takecare of you, ie, she was in jail.
I don't know if they, if, if Dennyknows that his mom is still in jail.
I dunno.
I don't care.
No, I don't care either.
I hate Eva.
I don't care.
We're done with Eva.

(18:38):
Well,
we do not want,
I hope we're done with Eva.
Mention it.
Oh God.
I,
um, I don't know how much theyhave told Denny at this point
anyway.
They do reassure him that no one isever going come and take him away.
And they have a very cuddly hug.
And I would like to also besquished to Hen's bosom because

(19:01):
it looks, looks like a lovely hug.
Absolutely.
Same.
So from that heartrending moment, wemove on to heartrending moment number
two, which is the next morning whenNia is leaving the house and Denny
is being an absolute sweetheart andhe hands over a blanket that Nia
apparently kept stealing from him.

(19:21):
So he's decided to gift it to her andhe hands over the plush unicorn that,
uh, Nia was like giving to everybody.
Like it was Hen's studybuddy at some point.
Oh yeah.
Because he knows that that was Nia'sfavorite and Nia's being incredibly
cute and she's asking whether Dennywill play with her later and Denny's

(19:42):
like, "Hmm, I don't think I can."
Uh, and Carly reminds, 'cause thisis all happening in the living room.
You've got Hen and Karen standingbehind watching and you've got Carly
and Diedra as there were there as well.
Carly reminds Nia that she'sgoing home to her mommy and Nia
is like, "Oh, Denny come with me?"they're like, "No, Nia, just you.

(20:06):
And we're, why don't yousay goodbye to everybody?"
Aw, she's so cute.
Karen gives her a big hug.
Uh, Hen tries to distract herselffrom breaking down by asking Nia if
she had given the unicorn a name.
And Nia very quickly said, she's goingto name a Denny for her big brother.

(20:28):
And I think Hen just about collapses
That pushes Hen over the edge.
She's, oh.
And then when, uh, Carly tries to hurrythe process along, she doesn't wanna
be like, make it a drawn out process.
Um, Nia says, "Bye, see you later!" AndHen tries to like, no, no, you're not

(20:48):
gonna see us later 'cause you're leaving.
And Karen very quickly stepsin, 'cause that's just gonna
confuse the situation anymore.
She's like, "Yes, we'll see youlater." Yeah, because you know, a
two year old's not gonna understand.
No, no.
And so Carly leaves with Nia, um, theykick Denny out to go to the kitchen

(21:10):
where apparently Toni is in there, butshe is actually in there this episode.
Um, she's not justfloating around the house.
Yeah, she is.
She comes back later.
Um, and Deidra reassures Ken and Harron.
Ken and Harron.
No, Karen and Hen
Yes.
Um, that this is incredibly hard.

(21:34):
It's always hard.
It never gets any easier.
Um, and Karen acknowledges that andsays, yes, this is something we're
gonna have to discuss for next time.
And Hen's like, "There's notgonna be a next time. I'm not
doing this again," and walks off,
which honestly is like, at that point I'mlike, yeah, maybe, maybe you shouldn't.
Yeah.

(21:54):
Neither of you are ready.
You're not, you're ready to this, you'renot emotionally mature enough at the
moment to be coping with any of this.
No.
All right.
So from one set of parents to the next,um, we're going to ch to see Madney.
And do we, like, we're includingJee-Yun in the Madni, um, you

(22:16):
know, group now, the family,
the Madney umbrella?
Yes.
I mean, to be fair, Jee'snot really a character yet.
She's just a like, live doll thatchanges into a baby occasionally.
Oh, my,
A baby doll?
Yes, the doll.
It, it's, I mean, the first time I noticedthe doll was when, okay, so in this

(22:37):
scene actually they show a shot of thebaby, of the actual baby, like being cute
and looking, and Maddie's like, "You'regonna be late if you keep watching her."
Um, because Chim's watching her.
And then immediately Maddie picks up Jeeand holds her like this and the arm just
looks like one of those baby doll armsthat's like slightly bent and shiny.

(22:59):
And I was like, oh no.
And then from that moment on,I couldn't help but notice
it was, I don't think it helps thatanytime any of the actors are holding the
baby doll, they are holding a baby doll.
Like there's something about when lateron in the scene where, um, Maddie hands
the quote unquote baby to Chim andthen we get a closeup of Kenneth who's

(23:23):
actually holding the real life baby.
'cause it's moving.
Yeah.
The way he's holding it ismuch, much more deliberate.
Like he's been much more careful withit than he is with the baby doll.
So you just,
it's like, it's like coffee cups.
Yes.
And once you see the coffeecup, you can't unsee it.
Yeah.
Um, like last week I was, I bingedthrough The Summer I Turned Pretty

(23:45):
'cause I'm watching it with friends.
It's the worst show ever,people are obsessed with it.
Don't, don't spoil it.
I know it's...
Oh my God.
You're, yes.
There you go.
I haven't seen the new season, sodon't spoil it, but yes, it's terrible.
I'll not say anything.
No, but it's addictive.
It's awful.
It's addictive.
I can't stop watching it.
I'm glad that it's not just me.
It got to the point where like,I was literally like, yes, that
was the last episode for the week.
And my friend's like, oh no, theother one just came out and I was

(24:08):
like, oh, for fuck's sake, there'sanother one I have to watch.
Um, like it's, it's so bad.
Anyway, there was a scene where theywere drinking takeaway coffee, and
they were just so obviously empty.
And I'm like, please, like, if theycan't act with a takeaway coffee cup,
just don't give them the takeaway.
Give them, give them something else.
Like, I don't understand howthe film industry yet has not
just put something like in thebottom of the fake coffee mugs.

(24:31):
They just put water in it or somethinglike just to give it a bit of weight.
They don't want the liquid sound on thebe picked up on the mics, but then just
put a weight or something in the bottom.
But you put a weight or something.
Like surely it's the filmindustry, they have a lot of money.
Surely they can just get like a bitof Yeah, like a weight of something
like, plasticine or something
one of those sticky magnets, yeah

(24:52):
that goes in the bottom andlike throws it off slightly.
Because the main thing with like liquidis obviously like the weight is different.
Like when you pick it up it's sloshes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But like there's gotta be a way todo that and it just, it's, they're
always empty and they drive me insane
and I think, oh my God, that's an issuewith the baby doll versus the real baby.
That the baby doll is plasticand has no weight to it.

(25:13):
The real baby sloshes around.
Yeah.
They need to make the baby slosh.
That's exactly it.
They need, they need ababy doll that wriggles.
That, that, that'd be creepy as hell.
But yeah,
it just needs to be weighted.
It needs to be like one of those reborndolls that are like, oh yeah, they have,
have the weight of a legitimate baby.
Mm-hmm.
Um, but yeah, the, the baby doll slashreal baby in this episode is nuts.

(25:37):
Um,
it's very funny.
Um, the other thing that's reallyhard to unsee, just 'cause I'm gonna
ruin filmmaking for, um, for allour listeners this week, apparently.
Thanks a lot.
Um, the paper bags are never paper.
They're like a vinyl because they don'twant the crunching sound of the paper.
Yeah.
We're not gonna be ableto unsee that now either.
Yeah.
Once you see it, like, whenever they havegrocery bags, they're always vinyl and

(25:59):
like, once you see it, you can't unsee it.
They, they're better atleast than the coffee mugs.
The coffee mugs, like, as soonas there's a coffee mug in
a scene, it makes me angry.
Like, it physically makes meangry because no one, like,
except Jensen,
no one's not as bad.
Jensen can act with a coffee cup.
God damn you, Jensen Ackles.
I'm gonna have to find Jensen witha, yeah, he can do everything though.

(26:21):
So
I'm pretty sure that, that thereis a clip or there is an interview
or something where he talks aboutlike specifically training himself.
How
Yeah, there you go
to drink out of a coffee cup andmake it look legitimate on scene.
Ah, see that's true acting, that.
That's it.
Yeah.
It's like on their resume, youknow, they can ride horses, they can

(26:41):
roller skate, they can drink outtacoffee cups and make it look real.
Yeah.
All right.
Um, right back to the scene.
No,
we've already, we'realready derailing ourselves.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thanks for, um, thanks for listening.
Sorry we've ruined, um, TV magicfor you, but be, I need people
to be as angry as I am, so.
Okay.

(27:01):
So the, uh, the point ofthis scene is that, um.
Chim is going to work.
I'm guessing he must havebeen off on paternity leave.
This is his first shift back and he'sleaving Maddie at home with not one but
two children because Albert is livingwith them while he's still convalescing
and he's still suffering, um, fromthese traumatic injuries from the

(27:23):
car accident and needs a lot of help.
Like to the point where they are,Maddie and Chimney are sort of cooing
over Jee-Yun, um, and Chimney is likeregretting that he has to leave and
we hear Albert sort of shriek in thebackground and hear the thud of something,
um, because he tried to get somethingoff a shelf by himself, but he's still

(27:45):
having balance issues from his liketraumatic brain injury and it fell down.
Yeah.
Poor Albert, like Chim's like,"why didn't you ask me or Maddie
to help?" and he's like, "Youalready have a baby to take care of.
You don't need two."
But you.
But Chim doesn't want him to hurt himselfwhen he should be asking for help.
And Albert seems to be veryfrustrated with his lack of progress.

(28:06):
He's like, "I should be better by now."
Yeah, he mentioned theaccident was weeks ago.
We find out, um, a couple scenes later.
It's been eight weeks.
So
that's still, that's very, veryshort in like recovery time.
Yeah.
Oh absolutely.
But yeah, even though we had a breakbetween like last episode and the
episode before that, I don't knowif there's a break between... no.

(28:29):
There's literally a week break and it'sbeen eight, uh, it's been two months.
Yeah.
We've just time jumped.
So we've had a time, time, skip.
Yeah.
Yeah,
yeah.
He's like, Chim's saying to him like,"You just, you have to be patient.
Let us help you and just, you needto just rest." And Albert's like,
"It feels like all I do is rest."
That's what you need to do to get better.

(28:51):
So Chim goes off to work.
Uh, leaving Maddie at homewith the invalid and the baby.
And the first thing we see of Chimat work is that he's showing baby
pictures to, uh, Eddie and Buck mostly.
I think Bobby is there.
This is the most adorable scenebecause they're all just cooing

(29:13):
over these baby pictures.
You've got, um, like Bobby,who is like everybody's dad, so
he's always gonna love babies.
You've got Eddie who has a kid, so helike, he's predisposed to loving babies.
And then you've got Buck who's justgonna kidnap any baby that he sees.
Yeah, literally.
So of course he's gonna love.
So yes, they are all predisposedto be loving baby pictures.

(29:33):
They all, and especially thisis Chim's kid, so they love
Yeah, I was gonna say, I don't care aboutbaby photos, but then I'm like, no, I do
for people I love, like, I like seeingmy best friend's kids all the time.
Like one of them just sentme a video earlier today.
Um, of their kid, their 2-year-olddancing to The Living End.
And I was like, yeah, you golittle man, you go dancing.
Um, but like then I have like anacquaintance that shares baby photos all

(29:56):
the time in an unrelated like group chat.
And I'm like, I don't care.
Like that baby could be the star of ashow called Babies I don't care about.
That's a line from the office.
I'm not that funny.
Um,
okay, well these guys are allloving looking at the baby pictures.

(30:16):
I do like this cute little exchangewhere Chim is like scrolling through
the photos and she's like, this is thephoto where the first time she smiled
and Eddie's kind of peering at the screengoing, "You sure that's a smile? It's the
same face Buck makes when he is gassy."
And Buck just kind of looks at himand then goes, "You know what? I
will take that as a compliment 'causeit just means she looks like me."

(30:39):
Yeah.
It's such a weird exchange forpeople who aren't a couple.
Anyway.
But you honestly, Chim's not even like,Chim's not even someone that I work
with, he doesn't exist and I'm stilljust like, show me all the baby photos!
On ya, Chim.
Bobby says that having a kid islike walking around with your
heart, outside your body and Chim'slike, that's weird and morbid.

(31:04):
What's really interesting is thatthey're talking about, um, Chim and the
baby and how he and Maddie are copingwith the arrival of, um, of Jee-Yun
and looking after her and Albert.
But as soon as they see Hen walkingto the kitchen, they all suddenly shut
up and immediately change, um, thetopic of conversation just to Albert.

(31:29):
'cause they're all very consciousof the fact that babies might be
triggering to Hen at this moment.
Mm-hmm.
But Hen has rallied, she's got a cake box.
Um, and she's disappointed thatthere are no balloons, there's no
banners, there's nothing celebratingChim's return back to work.

(31:50):
Yeah.
Chim says he doesn't really need anyof that stuff, but, um, he's like,
no, we celebrate every good momentwhen we can show me the baby pictures.
And he's like, and she's,she's not, she's not lying.
She legitimately wantsto see those baby photos.
And she's cooing over themjust as much as the others.

(32:11):
Well, yeah.
'cause they're her best friend's babies.
Like of course she wants to see it.
Yes.
Doesn't matter that she's hurting, thatshe's, quote unquote, lost her baby.
She's gonna be there to celebrate Chim's.
Yeah.
And she says, "She's so big already!"And we are like, yeah, we know This child
is like huge for an eight week old baby.
But what's really interesting,
the baby that they have in, inthe, in earlier in the other, um,

(32:33):
scene actually looks maybe likeit could be an eight week old.
Right, right.
This, the, the baby that they havein this episode looks like age
appropriate compared to the massivetoddler that they had on FaceTime
at the end of the last episode.
Yeah.
I dunno if it was the same baby, but,
oh, it's definitely not the same baby,but it's just ridiculous that it's
gone from, you know, this tiny littlebaby during the birth scene to, you

(32:56):
know, the toddler that ate that babyover FaceTime and now it's shrunk
back down to like a normal size baby.
Yeah.
Alright.
Speaking of babies,
And Chim's like, "They grow up so fast."
Um, well actually, speaking of babiesthat don't grow up so fast, let's
head over to, where are we going?
Irvine Street, uh, where a youngman is trying to break into a house.

(33:23):
Except it, uh, kind of backfires on him.
He's trying to climb up a, a trellisthat has twinkle lights and some
sort of flower woven through it.
But as he gets to the top of the trellis,it breaks away from the front of the
house and he, uh, swings and someassaults and crashes to the ground.

(33:44):
And then he calls, he still has hisphone with him, so he calls 9-1-1.
He calls 9-1-1 on himself.
Yeah.
And may I like, they'veput her on nights already.
I don't know how old you haveto be to do a night shift,
but she's, she's on tonight.
Um, she asks him for hisname and location, and he

(34:05):
just tells her where he is.
He doesn't want to tell her his name.
He's also whispering.
He's whispering.
He's like, just send someone quietly.
May's like, why are you whispering?
But then we go over to Josh, whois also on the phone asking someone
Where, where are you right now?
And the woman and her husband whoare inside the house have also

(34:28):
called 9-1-1 to report an intruder.
Um, and then they're gonna send that,they want them to send the police.
So May notices that the police havebeen dispatched and she sort of jumps
up and goes, "Hey Josh, why have yousent police there to my broken leg?"
Yeah.
It's interesting because as Josh typesin the address, it flags that RA units

(34:50):
have already been dispatched and asJosh is typing in that he needs police
dispatched it alerts on May's screen that.
Yeah, that's a cool system.
LAPD has been dispatched, so May isquestioning Josh, like, "Why have you
just sent police to my like, person that'sfallen over?" and he's like, "Why are
you sending ambulances to my potentialbreak and enter?" And they, they, so

(35:13):
it doesn't take them longto work out what's going on.
Yes.
It takes us a little bit longerthough, 'cause we're gonna cut back
to the, to Irvine Street and the scenewhere the 118 of course have arrived.
Um, Chim and Hen immediately run overto check on the young man who was trying
to break in, whose name is Connor.
And we learned this because thewoman who was calling 9-1-1 races

(35:36):
out of the house as the ambulancegets there and screams his name.
Okay.
So apparently this guy has a compoundtib-fib fracture to the right leg.
So he is got bone sticking out.
Ew.
But he's still got blood flowing,
which is good.
So while Chim and Hen are working onConnor, uh, the husband and wife start

(36:00):
bickering with each other because,uh, Trish, who is the wife slash
mother of Connor turns to her husband.
Uh, we do get a name.
I think it's like Harv or something.
Where is it?
Ho Yes.
It's Harv.
Yeah.
Trish turns to Harv and saysthat this is all his fault.
And Connor says that it is allhis fault because he's the one who

(36:23):
kicked Connor out of the house.
And it was either he snuck back intothe house or he slept in his car
and suddenly everyone is like takingnotice of what the conversation is.
They're like, oh,something's happening here.
Like, mainly Buck and Eddie.
They're just like, what's going on?
Yeah.
This is probably the most interestingthing that's happened all night for them.

(36:44):
Yeah.
Um, the hu the Harv, the fatherslash husband tells Connor that
there were other options other thanbreaking in or sleeping in his car.
He could, you know, get a jobor he could pay them rent.
Um, Connor says that they don't needthe rent because they're already rich

(37:05):
and Trish chimes in and tells herhusband to stop being so hard on him.
He's going through a quarter-lifecrisis, which is hilarious because
um, Harv says, "That's not, that isan absolute load of..." and before he
can say bullshit, Buck jumps in andsays, "Oh, no, that's a real thing.
I, I, I've been through it."And Eddie just starts laughing.

(37:26):
I think Buck's still goingthrough it at this point.
He's so still going through it.
To be fair, I think Eddie also had aquarter life crisis when he started
joining Fight Clubs and so on.
But anyway,
yeah.
Oh, they have an argument about not,not Eddie and Buck, um, the husband
and wife have an argument about beingthe good cop and the bad cop, and

(37:47):
yeah, Eddie and Buck generallyare generally agree on
parenting, so it's fine.
This is funny though, 'cause the, thehusband's like, you wanna be the good
cop, so you always make me the bad cop.
I'm sick of it.
And Chimney, who is like two weeksinto being a parent, says, "Can't
you both be the good cops?" Andevery single person at the scene,
including Buck, says simultaneously.

(38:09):
"No,"
no.
Which Chim's like, "What I mean, but likethe tough luck doesn't actually work.
Right?
It just makes your kid hateyou." And Hen's like, "Uh,
some kids need discipline," andBuck's like, "But not too much."
Yeah.
Eddie goes, "I'm curious to know what yourdefinition of too much discipline is."

(38:34):
So am I actually, I mean, weknow what his parents were like.
Um.
Disciplining him would have meantthat they had to pay attention to him.
Yeah I was gonna say theydidn't discipline him.
They just ignored him.
Yeah.
So I don't know where he is gettingthis ideas about discipline from.
Interesting.
Um, but at this point, Athena has joinedthe party because of course she has.

(38:55):
And, um, Harv notices that she's arrivedand demands that she arrest Connor as
he's being loaded up into the ambulance.
Yeah.
Then we get the, you know, Athena doesn'tknow that they're related, so, and Hen
says, "You want her to arrest your son?"And Athena's like, "They're related?"
So then we get the explainer of why,um, or basically what has happened.

(39:19):
So they had, he wouldn't leave.
They tried to kick him out, buthe wouldn't leave and he was
"taking us for everything we got."
I'm like, well, I don't, Idon't think you can do that.
That's your kid.
But anyway.
Yeah.
Well, he, he wants Athena to arrest.
Um, he wants Athena to arrest the kidbecause it's breaching the restraining
order that they had out on him.
. But Bobby says, "You might wannacheck this out first," because he's

(39:43):
been doing a little bit of sleuthing.
Apparently he's still inamateur detective mode.
Oh, yeah.
And he has realized that
he's going through the garbage.
He's,
I wouldn't have put it past him, butNo, he's noticed that the bolts that
were securing the trellis to the facadeof the house, um, very, very clean
breaks, almost like they were cut.

(40:06):
Yeah.
Um, apparently the dad wasjust up there repairing it.
He.
And Connor's like
and the trellis was, thetrellis was fine a few days ago.
It was fine the last,last time I broke in.
Yeah.
Right.
And so the husbands thinksthat that's the gotcha moment.
He's like, "See, he just admitted tobreaking in!" And everyone else is

(40:28):
going um, sir, that's, that's not whatwe are taking away from this situation.
We are taking away that you um, you'vedone something to the trellis to cause
your kid to fall and break his legs.
Yeah.
That's like kind of messed up, buddy.
Yes.
And they're all mad at him, including hiswife and he turns to his wife and said,

(40:49):
"you have coddled Connor too long. Youneed to decide who side you are on." He
clearly is expecting her to side with him.
He is a hundred percent wrong becausethe next cut we get is Trish jumping into
the back of the ambulance with her kidand Athena leading Harv off in handcuffs.
Yeah.
And she tells him not to bother comingback 'cause she's gonna change the locks.

(41:12):
Bobby says to Athena, "Interestingparenting techniques." So we almost
get a parenthood, but not quite
nearly.
Don't wait.
Um,
so just take half a drink
At this point I was kind of sidingwith, um, Trish and really thought
Harv was like going far too hard.

(41:35):
Um, the scene at the end of the episodethough, I'm revising my, my position on
this and I think that Harv had it right
yeah,
I don't think it was correct that he, youknow, um, there's a word that I'm looking
for that I can't think of right now, wherelike he intentionally did something to
the trellis to, to cause it to fall down.
Yeah.
But I think he had it in the right,in like kicking the kid out and that

(41:58):
his mother is definitely coddling him.
I don't know how he, um, I don'tknow how he got a restraining
order though, because.
Yeah.
Unless the kid was likebeing violent or something.
Yeah.
Like,
well, I mean, the kid's not a kid.
He's in his twenties, sohe is a full grown adult.
I don't know, for the drama.
Um, but anyway, itdoesn't, it doesn't matter.
Uh, I don't care.

(42:19):
Let's, yeah, we don't, we don't actually,
honestly, I don't care.
Um,
no, we don't,
we go back to, um, Madney and poor Chim.
Yes.
I feel for him in this moment.
And, and Maddie, to be honest,because these early days of baby
or parenthood are rough as hell,especially when you have to go to work.
They are, and especially whenyou're doing a 24 hour shift.

(42:42):
So Chim's just worked 24 hours,he's walked into the apartment and
Maddie literally throws Jee-Yun andat him, and then walks out because
she has to now go start her shift.
So even though Chim might have gotsome sleep in the firehouse, um, he
still, he now needs to stay awake allday to look after Jee-Yun and Albert.

(43:04):
This episode just was alreadybugging me at this point.
But like Maddie's, like "I'mrunning so late," and as soon as
she hands Chim the baby she leaves.
I'm like, how are you running solate when like Chim just got home?
You can't have le left before Chimgot home unless you were planning
on ha doing handover in the lobby.
It was literally, it was just for the, herthrowing rapid fire instructions at him

(43:27):
and then leaving before he acknowledgedthat he'd understood any of it.
Yeah.
Just to like really nailin the, the coffin of that.
He's so tired.
Yeah.
So Chim's overwhelmed.
Um, but Maddie's back at work two months.
But here's the thing,
after having a baby,
like she gets to work and it'snot like she gets straight to work

(43:49):
either because there's a party.
Yeah.
So she can't be,
they're greeting herwith a party and Yeah.
If she was late on her first day,they absolutely would not have cared.
But like, I, I totally understand beinglike anxious about being late, but like.
So, um, yeah, they have a cake and becausethey didn't get a chance to throw her a
shower um, they've got like gift basketsand one's for her and one's for the baby.

(44:16):
The one for her has like cheeseand booze and, you know, that
sort of thing, which is cute.
All the stuff that she couldn't eatwhile she was pregnant and probably
still can't eat if she's breastfeeding.
Yeah.
But anyway, that's fine.
Yeah.
And then they all start throwingadvice at her since they couldn't
give her a baby shower and she'sjust standing there going, okay.

(44:39):
You know, no, and I love Linda's advice.
She's like, "Don't listen to anybody'sadvice, but I am about to give you
advice that you do need to listen to."
Yeah.
Which is, don't listen to advice,
but her, her advice really is good advice.
So if Maddie was gonna listento any advice, I would listen
to Linda's, which is, um.

(44:59):
"You can have it all,but you can't do it all.
You need to get help.
You need to delegate.
Don't be a martyr." And Sue chimes in.
Yeah.
And Sue agrees.
Yeah.
You, um, "it takes a village.So use your village."
And then Josh keeps it real andsays, "Are you ready for this?" and
Maddie's like, "no." Like, yeah.
I'm not surprised.
It hasn't been that long.

(45:20):
Nope.
Yeah.
Two months.
Far out.
And we get kind of the, the firstinkling of the storyline that's
gonna happen in this episode, inthat we've just had Linda and Sue
reiterate, you know, you need help.
You need to ask for help.
You need to let other people in.
And when Josh says, uh, starts talkingabout babysitting, even though he's

(45:41):
like, "I don't wanna babysit, butyou know, I will help you in any
other way that you need." Maddie veryconfidently says, "No, it's fine.
Chimney's got it."
Chimney does not
Chimney does not in fact have it.
He doesn't have it
at all.
No, it is chaos.
So he reminds Albert, like he askedAlbert if he took his medicine and

(46:04):
Albert's like, "oh no, I forgot."So Chim gets the medicine then.
But while he's ch, while he's tryingto get, make sure that Albert is taking
his medication, he's trying to makelunch either for himself or for Albert.
And he also has a bottle on the bottlewarmer so that he can feed Jee-Yun.
Yeah.
And
all at the same time,

(46:24):
the bottle warmer, he tries topull it out and burns himself.
And I'm pretty sure those bottle warmerthings are only warm water to warm,
like you can't burn yourself on it.
Because it's,
no, if there isn't, could you imaginehow like that's the plastic cap
that's going over the top of the teat?
Can you imagine how hot the teat is?

(46:45):
Yeah.
Um,
and how hot the milk insidethe bottle is if like Chimney's
burning himself on the outside?
Yeah.
I mean, it's designed to just warmit up a little bit so that the the's
no possibility of burning the baby.
So you are definitely notgonna burn yourself on it.
So, I don't know what theywere thinking with this.
But anyway, for the drama, heburns himself on the bottle warmer.
So whoever has, whoever wrote thisepisode, which I think is Lindsay's

(47:08):
got, um, her name to it, um, does notknow what like mommy content creation
is like in the 2020s and also hasnever used a bottle warmer before.
I used, I had a bottle warmer, but it wasjust like this, um, machine you poured
hot, you poured water in the bottomof, and it just like produced steam.
And then it would steam until itgot to a certain temperature and

(47:29):
then it would like let you knowthat it'd reached that temperature.
And then I think at that pointit like switches itself off so
it won't exceed that temperature.
Right.
But anyway, that's not theimportant point of this, um, scene.
The important point of this scene isthat Chim is like juggling so many
balls at this point, um, that he'scompletely overwhelmed and then there

(47:50):
He's dropped them all.
Yeah.
Like he, well, there's a knock on thedoor and that just all the balls go flying
'cause that he is not capable of handlingyet another ball being thrown at him.
Um, and he, neither he norAlbert were expecting anybody,
but it turns out it's Mrs. Lee.

(48:11):
Yay.
It's nice to see Mrs. Lee again
or Anne.
Chimney's still not, not quitecomfortable with calling her Anne,
which is so cute,
meanwhile, Albert from the loungeroom just goes, "Hey Anne,"
because he was not raised by Mrs. Lee.
Exactly.
It's, it's, it's quite hilariousthe different relationship that
the Han brothers have with Mrs.Lee and the level of comfort.

(48:31):
That's so cute.
Because, you know, Albert's met heras an adult, so he's quite happy to,
um, to communicate with her on anadult level, whereas, um, Chim's like
a little bit more respectful of her.
Um, so Anne comes in and sheimmediately just like tries to take
over, not in a bad way, but she canclearly see that Chim's struggling

(48:54):
in a grandmotherly way.
Yeah.
And she wants to help.
She's like, "I'll take the crying baby.I'll give her the bottle. You two eat."
Yeah.
So she's brought soup, which is lovely,Chimney is very grateful for the soup,
but is like, "yeah, you weren't justin the neighborhood, were you? Like,
did Maddie ask you to come check in onme?" And Mrs. Lee's like, "You're so
suspicious. Maddie asked me the samequestion when I called her yesterday."

(49:19):
It's like, yeah.
So she was checking in, but
but she just
in a good way.
Yeah.
She just wants to seeif they need any help.
Chim immediately brushes her off.
She's like, you know what, we are fine.
And we've got it all under control.
Albert looks at him like he's suddenlygrown a second head and gone, "What are
you talking about? We absolutely needhelp. Hey Anne, do you mind taking me to
my therapy session so that Howie doesn'thave to late this afternoon?" Yes.

(49:42):
Albert use that village.
Yeah.
Um, then Chimney's just like, "Oh myGod, you remembered your appointment.
That's great." And Albert's like,"No, I can just read." 'cause he is
standing right next to the calendar.
It's, but yeah, the calendaron the fridge is chaotic.
Yeah.
'cause Chim and, and uh, Maddie areworking opposite shifts at the moment.

(50:03):
Which is not sustainable.
I don't know why they ever thought they'llbe able to handle doing it that way, but
because they had no idea.
Nobody ever has any ideabefore you go into it.
No, no.
I remember one of my friends, her andher husband worked from ho worked from
home, and they were like, oh, likewhen we go back to work, it'll be fine.
Like, we'll just have the baby and um,and he'll go to daycare like two days

(50:26):
a week and then the three days, like,it'll be fine because I'm part-time,
so I'll only have to look after himtwo days a week and yeah, no, he's
at daycare five days a week now.
It literally lasted like two weeksand they were like, yep, no daycare.
Bye.
Oh, it's, it's impossible to do, to dowork at home when the kids are at home.
Believe me.
Yeah.
Especially at, um, at this age.

(50:48):
Like at, yeah.
Yes.
Jee-Yun would be sleeping a lot,assuming she is a, like a good sleeper,
which I don't think she is considering.
Maddie is constantly saying,I like, I try to put her down.
She starts crying, but.
That sleep only lasts for a couple ofhours, and then you've got a baby that
you can't just leave somewhere whileyou're working to entertain themselves.
And like, you don't know whenthey're gonna wake up either.

(51:08):
Like, it's not like they havelike great sleeping hygiene.
So it's not like you're like, okay,I'll put a two month old down at
like 10:00 AM and it'll sleep until4:00 PM when I'm done with work.
Like, no, that's not how it works.
Oh, or they might, but then they'regonna be up from, like, they'll be up
4:00 PM until like 3:00 AM and you'renot gonna be able to do anything.
Um, so yes, the schedule, but that, um,between Maddie's shifts, Chim's shifts,

(51:35):
probably Jee-Yun's appointments and AlbertAlbert's appointments, um, is chaotic.
And Chim acknowledges this when Annewalks around to take a look at it
and he says like, "I know it lookscrazy, but we're making it work. We
just, we wanna make sure we don't losea second with Jee-Yun and we're not
willing to leave her with strangers."
I think he means, like in his head, he'stalking about putting her in daycare.

(51:57):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like he doesn't, I don't think,like, they don't wanna get a nanny
or daycare like, or use childcare.
Anne takes it personally.
She hears,
yeah.
Anne's like, "oh, well I'm a strangerto the baby, so that's my," and
he's just like, "no, no, no, no, no.
Come back!"
And she like, literally yeetsthe baby at him, grabs Albert
and books it out of there.
Yeah.
No, it's sad that she, sheassumes that she's the stranger.

(52:20):
It's like, no, like you arethe, you know, stepping up
grandmother, you know, like, yeah.
Yes.
But I think she's always, I thinkwe've seen it through the series,
it's that she's always very reluctantto take a large role in Chimney's
life because she feels that she'dbe like overstepping his own mother.

(52:42):
Yeah.
She doesn't want to, um, diminishher even though like she is
the one that is actually there.
And I don't think Chim would mind either.
No.
So like, remember that like.
Um, Mrs. Lee and Chimney'smother were best friends.
Yes.
And so I feel like Mrs. Lee definitelydoesn't want to replace Chimney's mother.

(53:03):
No.
And so she's very res, like, she's veryaware of that because she already like
helped raise Chim after his mother died.
And so Yeah, she's definitelygot that in the back of her mind.
Yeah.
And Chimney's just so tired.
He just doesn't know whathe's saying at this point.
Yeah.
Literally he's delirious.
He's like, no, come back.
Please just take the baby.

(53:26):
Because yeah, as soon as she handsthe baby over Jee-Yun and starts
crying again, and so Chimney issuddenly left in this apartment with
like, he hasn't had anything to eat.
Um, Albert's gone at least, buthe's been left with a crying baby.
He's like, "no, Anne, please."
Aw,
somebody help me.
Oh boy.

(53:47):
Okay.
We cut to the Wilson household where,um, Hen's torturing herself by sitting
in the bedroom that had become Nia's,which is like wall to ceiling pink.
Um, clutching.
She's sitting on her verypink bed clutching one of her
stuffies, one of Nia's stuffies.
Um, and Toni has decided to makean appearance out of the kitchen.

(54:12):
They've let her out of the kitchen wherethey've like chained her to the stove.
Um, and she comes in,
she sleeps on the, likein the, um, in the pantry.
Yeah.
We were wondering where she wassleeping last week, the other week.
Yeah, in the kitchen.
She isn't allowed to leave.
Um,
oh,
she comes in to console her childbecause like, this is her daughter.

(54:33):
Um, and her daughter is sadbecause she had to give up,
quote unquote, her own daughter.
Which I think Hen even saidlike, she, she misses her.
She loved her, she loved Mia...Nia, that's her n. She loved
Nia, like she was Hen's own.
And she, uh, is, she's mourning thefact that, uh, a year from now Nia

(54:58):
isn't gonna even remember who Hen is.
Yeah.
That's definitely hard.
Yeah.
Toni does assure her that she might notbe able to remember specific things,
but "she'll remember that you made herfeel loved and protected and safe."
Yes.
So they have a hug and Hen justbursts into tears and it's really sad.

(55:22):
Yeah.
It's very sad,
but cathartic potentially for Hen
Yes.
Um, so that's a short scene.
Um, we go, we go to theBathena household and.
Um, Athena is clearing up afterdinner and apparently the kids are
going to Michael's place, um, to helphim with his spying out the window.

(55:45):
So he's, I, we'll just foreverassociate Michael's place with that now.
May asks Athena if, uh, sorry.
May ask Harry if he can pass her phone'cause it's on the table, but as Harry
hands it to her, he just looks at it.
Oh, it's ridiculous.
The phone is face down on the table.
He picks it up and like, yes, I know thatthere is settings in a phone that as soon

(56:09):
as the phone goes face up, the screenlike turns back on, but it turns back
on and immediately opens to Instagram.
What?
There's no lock screen,there's no homepage.
It's just immediately flipto turn onto Instagram.
As if any teenage girl wouldjust have their phone unlocked.

(56:31):
Exactly.
Yeah.
You don't get to be mad aboutit if you don't be phone locked.
So not only do the writers or the peopleon this phone on this episode not know
how, um, mommy blogging works in the2020s, how baby bottle warmers work.
They like, they already didn't know howphones work from the last episode that
I went off on how bad their idea of howtechnology works, or you guys went off

(56:54):
on my behalf, on how bad technology is.
Um, but it's still, they havenot learned from their mistakes.
Um, but it is for the drama becausethen Harry reports that, um, Layla liked
one of May's Instagram posts, whichthen brings, uh, to Athena's attention

(57:15):
that May and Layla are back in contact.
Oh.
And Athena gets really cross about this,like, "Why are you talking to her?" And
May said she reached out a couple ofweeks ago to apologize and Athena's like
"You told her to go to hell, right?"
May said No.
May's like, "no, I, wewent and got coffee." Yeah.

(57:37):
And this is not what Athena wants to hear.
Not at all.
Oh, it's so hard as a parentthough, holding grudges on
behalf of your children.
Yeah.
Oh, literal mom hold grudgeson people worse than I do.
Yes.
Like I'll mention someone andshe'll be like, oh my God,
remember when they did this thing?
And I've totally forgot about it.
I, there are so many kids that I likehate to my core because they have

(58:02):
done something to wrong my child.
And my child will still be like,playing with them and talking to
them and being friends with them.
And I'm just sitting here like, doyou remember when they did this?
Yeah.
And it's not, it's not evento the point of like, driving
my child to a suicide attempt.
It's like, no, it'ssomething completely stupid.
Like they tore up aPokemon card or something.

(58:23):
Uh, yeah.
And like, made my kid cry.
But, but yes, parents,we hold onto grudges.
Oh yeah.
But I mean, Athena does take this to like,uh, I don't wanna say the extreme, but
she, she like yells at May about it, like.
Sort of,
to be fair, I think a Athenais slightly traumatized over
Oh yeah, very.
A hundred percent.
Yeah.
Very trauma traumatized having to call9-1-1 and perform CPR on her daughter.

(58:47):
Yeah.
So, yeah.
But
she's been triggered majorly.
Yes.
She just goes off about, "Now she'syour friend again? Like, what are you
doing? Like you can't let her backinto your head again." And May's trying
to tell her that they both changedand she's giving her a second chance.
Eventually, May just like storms outand that's the end of that scene.

(59:09):
Yeah.
What was really interesting is that whenMay questions why Athena is reacting like
this, Athena yells, you know, becausethe last time you were friends with
that girl, you tried to kill herself.
And Harry's like, wait, what?
Yeah.
Harry had no idea.
Poor Harry has also justbeen traumatized here.
Oh.
Because if we think back to like,Harry was there when it happened, but
Athena just told him that May was sick.

(59:30):
I think this is the first timethat he's realized exactly the
level of quote unquote sick
Yeah.
How serious it was
that May was Yeah.
Like what actuallyhappened that afternoon.
Um, but as this show does, um,we are gonna trauma dump and then
we're gonna cut to commercial andwe're not gonna come back to it.
So, poor Harry.

(59:53):
Uh, so yes, we're gonna go commercial.
We are gonna come back from commercial,at a residential house where Chim
and Hen have been dispatched becausethere was a call for an overdose,
except the woman who answers the doordoes not appear to be in any hurry.
She seems confused as to whyLAFD are there and she has no

(01:00:17):
idea what they're talking about.
Uh, until Hen tells her that thecall came from this address from an
Ellen Saxton, um, who turns out tobe the woman who answered the door.
That's her mother.
So everyone goes rushing into the houseand we discover that Ellen, who I am

(01:00:39):
going to be calling like Davida Wallace.
'cause that's entirely what this entirescene is, is elderly woman who is
suffering from, uh, late stages of cancer.
It has reached her brain.
Um, and she's done.
She wants out, she's OD'edon her medication and she

(01:01:00):
wants them to let her go.
Yeah, they sort of, when she revealsthis, like we can go through this
scene fairly quickly because alot of it's just repetitive and
really, really freaking sad.
So,
yeah, it's just really sad.
It's just really sad.
Um, I made the mistake of watching thisthe day before, visiting my grandparents
in the nursing home, and I was justlike, yeah, no, not happy with this.

(01:01:23):
Yeah.
And just, yeah.
Unfortunately I recognizedwhat was going on.
Like they were David Wallacing us and justmy emotional center of my brain just shut
down and went, yep, nope, you done care.
I see the tricks.
I know what you're doing,and now you have lost me.
I, they have no effect on me.

(01:01:44):
Your evil spells have no effect on me.
Um, no, the, she, she, after she, whenshe reveals that she's taken something
and it's, it's too much, you know?
Um, Chim and Hen kind of rushinto action and try and work out
what she's taken and everything.
And she gestures at a,
she's like not telling
no, she's like, I'm not telling you.

(01:02:04):
And also you can't do anythingbecause I've got this bit of
paper here that says that.
Um, I don't want to be treated.
So basically they can't do anythingand they're like, well, why did you
call 9-1-1 if you didn't want help?
And she actually called them so thatthey would be there with her daughter
when, because she didn't want herto be alone when it all happened,

(01:02:29):
which is kind of really sweet.
Interesting, but also very sad.
Very sad.
Um, interestingly, my favorite medicalshow, The Pitt kind of covered a situation
like this where they had a patient whohad an advanced directive and a DNR,
um, except once he went unconscious,um, his kids overruled his DNR and the,

(01:02:52):
the hospital had to follow the kids'wishes because they were kind of his, um.
They had like, power of attorneyand Like power of medical.
Yeah, the medical decision.
Yeah.
So even though the father had madethe the wishes, like, I don't wanna
be resuscitated, I don't wanna beput on machines to extend my life.
Um, the kids went, no, you'regonna put him on the machines

(01:03:13):
'cause that's what we want.
Yeah.
I was gonna say was
Fuck what he wants.
This was, this is the, like thebrother and sister and the old man?
Yes.
Oh, it was hard.
Yeah.
So apparently the takeaway is you canhave all the DNRs and all of the advanced
directives you want, but once youlose consciousness they mean nothing.
And whoever is in yourcare can overrule you.

(01:03:34):
Damn.
Luckily that doesn't happen in thisepisode though, but it can happen.
So just something.
No, instead we get the, um, the,the David Wallaceing aforementioned,
um, where we have, uh, like to the,the "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac.

(01:03:56):
Oh yeah.
They break out theFleetwood Mac Oh my God.
Which is just such a sad songin the first place, but there's,
but yeah, there's a montage
basically, um, the mother'slike, yeah, "You gave up your
entire life to take care of me.
Now it's time for me to give it back.
Um, I'm not leaving you.
I'm setting you free whenyou have your own kids.
You'll understand.
Um, and this is the lastthing I can do for you.

(01:04:17):
So let me." Then, yeah.
The montage shows like a wholebunch of the daughter when she
was little, um, like asking ifthere were monsters under the bed.
It's basically we together, it'slike little snippets of their life
together to show what, you know, whata the mother-daughter relationship
and the highs and the lows.
But the fact is that they werealways there for each other.
Um, probably the only big takeawayfrom this is that the very first

(01:04:40):
scene with the little girl is thatshe is shown to be playing with a
locket that her mother is wearing.
Um, and that comes back into playat the end of the episode, but it's
just like, blah, blah, blah land.
We don't even see what's in the locket.
It, it's literally just a locket,
it's just a locket that she's wearing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like it's, it could be any piece ofjewelry, but no, it's a mystery locket.

(01:05:01):
Yeah.
Mother-daughter relationship.
Highs and lows, ups and downs, butthey love each other to the end.
"Landslides" playing so, so sad.
I could care less, couldn't care less.
I know we went through that last time.
Um, and by the time we get to the endof the montage, the mother is dead.
Um, so they check, she's not breathing.

(01:05:21):
Uh, Chim goes to call it in.
Um.
Julia is like, "What do I do now?"Hen says, "Take her with you." And
I assume she means like spiritually,
not like,
not like pick her upand take her with you.
Technical.
That's grim, but...
Fold her up and put her in a suitcase?
It's very weird phrase... Like,like we cut back and like, she

(01:05:45):
is like just watching TV with themom, like dead in the armchair,
she, Norman Bates-ed her.
Yes.
Literally
what wasn't it just last week?
We were,
yes.
We were talking about Norman Bates.
Yeah.
Good.
Excellent.
Yeah.
So, um, Linda's brother comesaround and shows me how to
No,

(01:06:08):
no, definitely spiritually,um, remember her and move on.
Yeah.
It's a very weird phrasing.
It is weird phrasing.
It is.
Um, and that's it.
That's literally the entire sequence.
It was just.
To toy with our emotions and it,for me anyway, it failed dismally.
I don't think it's ever worked.

(01:06:30):
And this show makes me cry.
Like there are parts of this,this series that no matter how
many times I watch it, I will cry.
This episode's not one of them.
No.
Yeah.
I'm sure if you had, if you'd been ina similar watching someone fade away
situation, then maybe it might have tuggedon a few extra heartstrings, but Yeah.

(01:06:53):
But no, if you're telling a story,you, you shouldn't just be catering
to the people who have had the, theexperience that you're telling on screen.
You need to make everybodyin the audience feel it.
Yeah.
And, and, and we don't know this person.
Yeah.
Like my wife hasn't been hit by a caron a pedestrian crossing and died.
But that doesn't mean I didn'tcry like a baby when Shannon died.

(01:07:15):
I have never had a, um, a fireengine fall onto my ankle and then
have an entire city rush to lift afiretruck off said ankle, um, yet
you haven't?
What have you been doing withyour life the rest of us have?
No, but that makes me bawl like ababy every time I watch that scene
Every fucking time, oh my God.
I'm like, I'm gonna be fine this time.
It's just fictional people listen,then the whole city comes to lift.

(01:07:39):
I'm like, oh my God.
See, if you're telling a story
such a community,
you need to connect to everybody.
And if you're only connecting to thepeople who can actually literally relate
to what's happening on the screen,you have failed as a storyteller.
Look, I'm just tryingto stick up for Lindsay.
All right?
Nah, fuck Lindsay in this episode, whichis, which is a pity because I think the

(01:08:01):
last episode that we saw from Lindsaywas the, um, although interesting, I
think it was "Rage", which was like,
no, she also did "Powerless".
Okay.
But see, they're not so bad.
Do you remember "Powerless"?
I remember being hit over the head witheveryone being powerless, but you know, in

(01:08:23):
the grand scale of powerless versus likecalm as a bitch, it, it wasn't horrible.
Um, Rage was also very bashyou over the head with, yeah.
Okay.
So she's not subtle,
but at least, or entertaining.
Anyway.
Uh,
sorry Lindsay.
Sorry Lindsay into this.

(01:08:44):
Just be a little bitmore entertaining please.
Just like something we are justbored and we're very tired.
Oh.
Um, my original, like, I'd, I'dlike to blame this on the fact that
we've all had a really tough week.
But I went back 'cause I waslike, there's gotta be something
I liked about this episode.
Like I, I, and I wrote notes the firsttime I watched the episodes through, I
wrote notes so that I wouldn't be like, soI knew when I was surprised and like, you

(01:09:09):
know, so like the episode where Bobby wentinto the tunnel and it was radioactive
and like all the stuff happened.
The first time I watchedthat I was really tense.
The second time I did not care,um, because I knew what happened.
But the first time I was like, oh my God.
Like I was so tense.
It was great.
And so I had the original noteswhere I was like, oh, I did actually
care about this the first time.
I went back to look at the notes forthis episode and I had two notes written.

(01:09:34):
Yeah.
And one of them, you can't evenremember what the note is for.
Can't even remember what the note was for.
Um, normally I have like a page of notes.
This had two sentences.
Yeah.
And one of them was just, "what thefuck? Maternity leave in America
is two months." that was it.
Anyway, this, uh, okay, so we didn'tquite hit the mark with a lot of

(01:09:57):
the emotional beats in this episode,but let's keep going, shall we?
Let's see if it gets any better.
Spoiler alert.
It's not, but let's keep going.
Um,
so we're at the Bathena residence.
We don't even get anycute Bobby Athena moments.
Um,
oh, this, this, like, this BobbyAthena moment is so weird 'cause
you've got Athena sitting on the,like the bench, like the patio bench.

(01:10:22):
And then Bobby drags a chair overand sits like three feet away from
her opposite her on the chair.
And I'm like, dude, if you're, ifyou're trying to comfort her, why
aren't you sitting next to her?
That's your wife.
They're like coworkers rather than what?
Like, yeah, literally
he's treating her
like, give her a hug.
Like you were there, youknew her when this happened.

(01:10:42):
Like, yes, you weren't there,but you knew her when like May
was going through all this shit.
Like, I'm sure she'sspoken to you about it.
Like give her some comfort, like sitnext to her, be like, yeah, I don't know.
It's weird.
Everyone in this episodejust acts like roommates.
The point of the scene is thatAthena is desperately trying to

(01:11:02):
get in touch with May, and Maykeeps sending her to voicemail.
So Bobby comes out to talk to her.
Um, the other issue that I have withthis scene is that Bobby is trying to
like, reassure Athena that, you know,May is, uh, all grown up and that the
behavior that she was exhibiting atthe time, like three whole years ago,

(01:11:25):
four years, I can't even remember.
There were so many time jumps in thisseries, um, is on par for a teenager.
And the whole time, this is gonna soundterrible, the whole time I'm thinking,
Bobby, what do you know about teenagers?
Your kids died before they got there,
oh, no.
Like, you've never raised a teenager.

(01:11:45):
How do you know how teenagers act?
And it's horrible.
But that's literally what I'm thinking.
Oh, that is horrible.
But he also, she, he also tellsher that you don't have to, like,
you don't agree with May's decisionsvery often, but she's grown up now.
So you don't have to likewhat she does, but you like,

(01:12:08):
you know they're her choices.
I don't know.
It was, it was weird.
The only good part of this entire, likethey, they have this like 30 minute
conversation in a 42 minute episode.
Like I, I know how they had the time.
No, the rest of it was themontage of the dead mother and
yeah, I feel like they just didn'thave enough content for this episode,
so they just made all the scenesway longer than they needed to be.

(01:12:29):
Yeah.
Anyway, um, but the only good part isthat Bobby at the end, um, so Athena
says that, you know, she thoughtit was because of her and Michael
splitting up, but it was somethingthat she had absolutely no clue about.
And Bobby's like, "Yeah, you haveto forgive yourself. Do you know
how many suicide calls I've beenon when no one had any idea? You
can't take on that kind of blame."
Yeah, that's hard.
Yeah.
And like that's the only, like,I'm just like, yeah, like that.

(01:12:51):
It's true.
Like people are really good at hiding it.
Yeah.
But then, but then they ruin that messagebecause then Athena goes, "no, but I'm her
mother. I should have known I missed it."
Yeah.
I ignored that because Athena,
you've just completelynegated Bobby's message.
Sh I like Bobby more.
It's fine.
Yeah.

(01:13:12):
So, but yeah, so, uh, then wego back to the Wilson household.
Oh good lord.
Um, where Karen has like, despitebeing the voice of reason, the last
like three episodes, um, hired a PI,she's like to find Nia's birth mother.
She goes, "I think I did a bad thing."And I'm like, oh shit, here we go.

(01:13:34):
What has she done?
She's like, ultimate,ultimately good, but still bad.
No, not ultimately Good.
No, it's, it's just bad.
What?
It's not a good idea.
Just, and like Karenwas the voice of reason.
This whole, I just, fucking God
let the fucking department do their job.
So they go to the... theygo to a nursing home.
Um, so yeah, so Karen says they,that she found Nia's, she hired a

(01:13:55):
PI, she found Nia's birth mother.
Um, they go to a nursinghome and stalk her.
Yes,
she works.
So she works at the nursinghome as a nurse's aide.
Even Hen's just like, "How did you findher?" It's like you just drove from your
house to the thing and that never came up.
Like did you sit insilence the whole time?
Yeah.
Um,

(01:14:15):
oh my god.
Awkward,
but oh, it's so dumb.
Like, so dumb.
So Karen's logic was that thenot knowing whether Nia was
safe or not was killing her.
And it was quite clearly killing Hen.
So she had to know that Nia was okay.
And here's the thing, if you're goingto go into, if you're going to enter

(01:14:36):
the foster system as foster parents,and you've got Diedra telling you that
everything is okay, you have to trust.
You have to trust them.
Yes.
You have to trust that DCFSis doing the right thing.
I know that outside of 9-1-1 DCFSfuck up all the time and that kids
get returned to situations thatthey should not be returned to.

(01:14:58):
But that is not what isgoing on in this episode.
And that is not the message thatyou wanna be sending people.
Yeah, no, not at all.
Um, so basically they alsoabsolutely glamorize Mia's mother.
Um, so she was a single mom.
She struggled to make ends meet, shegot evicted, she was living in her car.

(01:15:19):
Um, people saw her, they calledchild services who placed her
with Hen and Karen temporarily.
That was January.
And then the pandemic hit.
Um, so she couldn't get her lifeback together until recently.
And so they've decided that have,after finding out about Nia's backstory
and then stalking Nia's, birthmother, and learning that she a good

(01:15:41):
conscientious worker and that everybodyloves her and that she goes to eat.
She never had any problems.
She just got evicted, goeslike, this is a single.
She goes, okay, sure.
They there, there's a daycaredown the street from the, the
facility that she works at.
She goes every lunch hour to eat with Nia.
They decide that Nia is goingto be okay and that they're

(01:16:03):
not going to do anything else.
And I just kept thinking.
What if,
what were you going to do?
Like what, what were you willing to do?
Yeah.
I know the storyline that they weretelling in this episode is like,
this is the storyline and theywere never gonna go the other way.
But I just kept thinking of thewhat if, what if you decided after
doing all this investigation, thatyou didn't agree and that you still

(01:16:26):
thought, like, what if they went, oh,she's in daycare five days a week.
We would never put her in daycare.
We kept her at home.
She always had somebody at home.
We don't think that that's goodenough for Nia, so we are gonna
launch legal action to get her back.
Like, what the fuck?
Yeah.
It's very weird storyline.
It's fucking, it's, it's fucking stupid.

(01:16:48):
I'm mad at the, I'm madat this whole storyline.
A lot of people are mad atthe whole storyline like this.
It's,
and also just to like make matters worse.
Like you said, Karen has been thevoice of reason the entire time.
So why did they make her jumpoff the deep end in this episode?
Yeah.
It would make sense if Hen had gonelike completely over the top Yeah.

(01:17:10):
And hired the private investigator.
Yeah, because like, she's alreadyspiraling, so it would just like
add another level to her spiral.
But now she's draggedKaren into her spiraling.
She probably just would'veasked Bobby to do it.
Bobby and Michael.
Bobby and Michael would've found her.
Bobby and Michael would've worked out.
He just looked through his telescope.
Um, but yeah, and also becauseshe's just, she's just a normal

(01:17:32):
person who fell on hard time.
Like that makes her worthyof having her baby back.
Like,
yes.
Oh my thought.
There's so much that I could be like, Ugh.
And then because they deemed thatthis was a good resolution, that
this woman like truly deserved tohave her, you know, her child back.
They've gone, okay, maybewe can continue to foster.

(01:17:55):
Yeah.
Like, no,
that's, that is not agood decision absolutely
no, because addict like addictionhappens, shit like that happens.
That's like.
Ugh.
It just makes me so mad.
Imagine if Diedra had foundout that they'd done this.
Like,
oh, if Diedra found out, theywould've immediately been

(01:18:15):
scrubbed from the program.
Yeah.
They would not be allowed near any,
they probably would've also beenlike, yeah charged or something.
Surely.
Oh, stalking.
Well, they probably would've goneto the, um, to Evangeline and gone
Also, I just, I just don't know,like, I could be wrong, but like,
I know that CPS, like, obviouslythere's not enough foster homes for

(01:18:39):
the amount of kids that they have.
Right.
And reunification isthe, like the main goal.
Generally, as long as the kid is fedand clothed, like if they're living in
their car and someone called CPS, CPSwill usually be like, okay, we'll try
and get you into a shelter or a home.

(01:19:02):
Yeah.
The best place is still with their parent.
If their parent is notabusing them, basically.
Because, because especially like atoddler, it's so traumatic to take
them away from their parent andit's also really bad for the parent.
Yeah.
And so they would tryand keep them together.
And so it just,
I don't know enough about, uh,how DCFS operates in California.
'cause I'm guessing it's going todiffer what, depending on what resources

(01:19:25):
Oh, true.
The state Yeah.
Are available.
Um, but yeah, 'cause I'm like,honestly, I'm basing this off
what I've seen from Teen Mom.
Um, but so many of those kids, likeare, you know, not in great places
and they get child protective servicescalled on them, and they're like, well,
they're fed and go like, and clothed so

(01:19:48):
yeah.
There's there's a level of privilegethat's been brought in here where they're
like, oh, you're living out of your car.
That's not acceptable.
Yeah.
But instead of finding her somewhereto live, they were just like, oh,
well we're gonna take your babyaway because you got evicted.
It's like, that's not right.
Yeah.
Uh, like I said, I don't know how it worksin California or whether that is something

(01:20:14):
that the system does in California.
Um, if you know how the system worksin California, I don't actually care.
Don't tell me.
Yeah.
Look, I hate this storyline, and I don't.
We just think that Nia shouldhave been with her mother,
like, help her mother out.
Don't just leave her fordead and take her baby away.
Jesus Christ.
And Karen, why the fuck are youhiring a PA to find a toddler?

(01:20:35):
A PI?
A pi,
A pi.
They've got a PA that's Toni
personal assistant.
Why are you hiring a PI to findthis poor child who you've known
like, oh my God, it just shits me.
Yeah.
Ugh.
Um, now we get to May who'sbitching to her dad as much as

(01:20:56):
we're bitching about this episode.
Yes.
Yes.
Um, so yeah, so we'reback at Michael's house.
Bex, did you wanna talk about yournote or are you just skipping over?
'cause you don't care?
I just saw the note.
I'm like, wow.
Yeah, I'm like waiting for you to jump in.
And I was like, I don't think she cares.
I did notice the hotel writing onthe side, but, but I think caps,

(01:21:17):
I was like waiting for her to jump in.,
I mean, if anybody is interested, like, I,I don't care at this point, but, um, when
you look through the windows of Michael'sapartment, you can see the signs for
the Hotel Cecil, which has a very sordidhistory in, um, Californian history.
It is not called the Hotel Cecil anymore.
It's called the Stay on Main.

(01:21:39):
It's now, uh, low income housing.
Um, not a hotel anymore, but, um, and it'snow apparently like a heritage listed.
Um.
Hmm.
I think for the architecture, not forthe fact that a serial killer, uh, or
possibly multiple serial killers lived onthe premises, operated at the premises.
And, um, the most recent sort of infamouspart of the, the history of the Hotel

(01:22:05):
Cecil, is the disappearance and subsequentdeath of Elisa Lamb on the premises,
which brought the "elevator game" internetlegend into the general consciousness.
Oh, the elevator game?
Is there.
I just, I just wish I could learnmore about the elevator game.
Is there not a story about that?
By reading a, a choose your ownadventure fan fiction with Dean

(01:22:28):
Winchester and Castile the angel.
I just wish
Sure.
Surely there must exist.
It must, must some story like that
if only someone would write that.
Um,
if only, if only.
So yeah, if you wanna know more aboutthe elevator game, um, go to Archive
of Our Own and um, find the chooseyour own adventure Destiel fic by one,

(01:22:49):
uh, Bex, who also hosts this podcast.
Um, yes, indeed.
And wouldn't that have been adifferent, um, episode the other
week if Michael had stumbled ontoa serial killer instead of a, or,
or the elevator game in, orthe other alternate dimension
with Dean and Cas making out?
'cause you know, um,
who wouldn't wanna do that?

(01:23:11):
Yeah, so May's bitching atMichael about her mother.
Um, they, she's tired ofalways fighting with her.
Michael's just like, mm-hmm.
Yep, sure.
Uhhuh.
Um, he's basically taking as muchinterest in this storyline as we are.
Um, yeah.
Michael says that he doesn't blameher, uh, doesn't blame Athena.

(01:23:34):
May's like "You didn'tact like a lunatic."
And Michael's like, "Well, I wasn'tthe one that found you." Like,
basically Athena thought May was dead.
Um, they were scared.
Yeah.
'cause the line from Michael is that, um, you know, "By the time I
got there at the hospital, you werealive," and May's like "Exactly.
That's exactly my point.
Thank you." And Michael goes, "Exceptwhen Athena found you, you weren't alive.

(01:23:57):
Yeah.
You were dead.
Like you weren't breathing.
"You weren't breathing.
She thought you were dead and youwere dead from her pills, which I
told her to throw out." And May'slike, "Wait, you blamed Mom as well?"
Michael says he didn't blame her,but he, like, they both said a lot
of things because they were scared.
Um, they are past it now, butlike, Athena's not made of steel.

(01:24:21):
Yeah.
And he also, then he says.
You know, "I'll never know what shewent through when she found you.
And I'm kind of grateful that Inever will." So naturally May goes
to work and it's like, oh, I wonderwhat Mom went through when I died.
Yep.
And so she pulls up the archiverecord of Athena's 9-1-1 call.
Oh, this is just awful to listen to.

(01:24:43):
And,
and it goes on and on forever.
It goes on and on.
It's different to the one that weheard as well, which is interesting.
It's far longer andthey've made changes to it.
I considered for a second going back andfinding that episode to comparing what
we heard in that episode to what this9-1-1 call, um, consists of, could not

(01:25:04):
find it, could not care to dig harder.
So, yes.
Oh, there you go.
It has been four years.
'cause she was 14.
Okay.
And she's now 18 ish.
But she goes through all of this, um,chat, like telling the 9-1-1, like just.
Talking about, "oh, her heart's beating.
I feel there's no, she's not breathing,blah, blah." And then after all
of that, the nine, the dispatcheractually says, "Where's your location?"

(01:25:29):
You know, after like severalminutes it feels like it
just, it's just a weird call.
It's in general,
it's, it's not a good 9-1-1 call.
No.
Yeah.
And considering Athena's, like I knowespecially in season one, I know they
were showing the difference between likeon duty Athena versus mother Athena.

(01:25:51):
And I think we discussed thatthe fact that this was Athena,
the mother freaking out, notSergeant Athena being professional.
Yeah.
Um, but it's still like, Idon't know, it's still weird.
Like maybe I'm just the type ofperson that can com compartmentalize.
Um, 'cause like I, um, just before NewYear's, I had to call the ambulance

(01:26:11):
on my mum who wasn't breathing.
Mm-hmm.
And like she was barelybreathing, I should say.
Um, and I was just like, yep, cool.
This is my address.
This is what's happening.
Um, I'll stay on the linetill the ambulance came.
And I was like, "Mum, like, get ittogether. Just breathe. What are
you doing?" Um, and then as soonas she was like in, as soon as I
got home and like I'm texting myfriends like, oh my fucking God.

(01:26:35):
Then as soon as I got home I broke downand I was just like, oh my fucking God.
But like there was no point doing that inthe moment 'cause I had to get through it.
Yeah.
But that doesn't make goodtelevision and I think
Exactly, yeah.
The point I am pretty certain that thepoint of that episode was showing the
difference between on duty and off duty.
Yeah.
Because that was the endof the episode with Abby.

(01:26:58):
To be fair, when the first time mydog had a seizure, I did panic and
call, um, his breeder immediately.
But I also don't have training inwhat to do, when it's a seizure.
But I guess the point ofthis, like overly dramatic.
Nine one one call from May'sperspective is that, as you said, she
can hear what her mother went through.
Yeah.
And can hear that she didn'tjust go into cop mode and go,

(01:27:21):
oh, we're doing the thing.
Um, which wouldn't havehad the effects that
Yeah.
May's constantly like increasing thevolume of the call so that she can hear
Athena not talking into the phone, buttalking to 14-year-old May, and like
begging May to wake up to stay with her,that she's with, that Athena is with

(01:27:41):
her and she will get you through it.
Just don't leave.
Mm-hmm.
And as May is listening
Athena's begging.
She's literally like, "Please,please don't leave me."
As May's listening to this, as she'srealizing what she put her mother
through, she's like crying at her station.
Funnily enough, neither Josh norSue realize what is going on.
And those usually have a radar forlike weird drama shit going on.

(01:28:06):
They're like, oh, theteenager's crying again.
Leave her alone.
I just gotta say too, likeI love May as a character.
Love her, like wasn't so keen andknow when she was 14 and angsty,
but like, love May as a character,like adore her, love every episode,
like love when she's in episodes.
So the fact that I didn't careabout this storyline says something

(01:28:27):
because I just did not care.
I was just like, yeah, cool.
She died.
Like she's not.
She's fine now.
She got better.
It's all good.
It's just mother daughter drama.
She got better?
She got exactly.
Thank you.
I'm glad
I'm better now.
I got better.
I got better.
Um,

(01:28:49):
Anyway, so we go back to theMadney apartment like it's.
I wanna care about Madney.
I just like, I like the fact thatthey're parents, I don't think it's done.
I thought this bit was funny though.
Oh, this is cute.
Because Maddie comes home and Chimney isstanding by the, um, the changing table.
And Maddie thinks that's adorable.
Like, "oh, you're changing her. How cuteis that?" And Chim just doesn't respond.

(01:29:11):
But like, also, what does he, did he,did she think he just wasn't gonna change
her for the 12 hours she was at work?
Who knows?
I don't know.
But when Chim doesn't respond,she walks over to check on him.
And the, um, the changing table is rightnext to a, uh, like a, a support wall.
A support beam or something likethis weird, like partial wall in

(01:29:32):
the middle of the living room.
And uh, Chim is propped upagainst it, fast asleep be,
yeah, the baby's just lying thereon the table, staring at him.
Oh, I have to like, literally, oh my God.
How long has he been asleep for?
I don't know exact ages.
I don't know exact ages, butwhen do babies learn to roll?
No, no, that's not for a while.
She's not gonna roll yet,
but, but still, like, she would've,

(01:29:54):
she's
fine.
It's still dangerous, right?
Surely you can't just leavea baby on a change table.
Like what if, oh my God.
It just, it freaked me out.
It freaked me.
I'm not even a mother I'm just like No!
she's fine.
But the more to the point ishow long is the baby gonna lie
there for without making a noise?
Like, without crying and waking him up?
Yes.
Like how long is it being asleep for?
I'm really, I'm, I'm assuming thatit's a micro nap that like he's

(01:30:16):
Yeah, it must be
He's literally just fallen asleep.
Yeah.
Maddie says that yesterday she fell asleepwhile holding the baby on the toilet.
Um, so that is kind of funny.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, this is why I prefer puppies.
When you go to the toilet, you put themin a crate, you go to the toilet, then
you come back and you're like, oh, good.
Just still in the crate.
I mean, you can kind ofdo that with babies too.
You put them in their cribor you put 'em in a bouncer.

(01:30:37):
Yeah, there you go.
I mean, you can even drag the bouncer intothe bathroom with you if you need to, but.
Yeah, but the point is thatthey finally realized that
their schedule is unsustainableand they might need some help.
Although, interestingly of all ofthe different ways to get help,
their choice is to kick Albert out.
Yeah, I thought, I originallythought they were gonna ask

(01:31:00):
Anne to stay with them as well.
I'm like, okay, I know you've gotin a small apartment, but you know,
having her over to help would be fine.
But no, they've kicked Albert out togo and live with Mr. And Mrs. Um, Lee.
Mr. And Mrs. Lee.
Lee.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And Chim's like, "Oh, thanks.
I know it's a lot to ask," butshe's like, "Albert can stay with
us as long as he likes," like, wow.

(01:31:23):
Like I know that having Albert there isan extra quote unquote burden on them
because it's an extra person they haveto take care of, but for the most part,
it's Jee-Yun that they need help with.
Yeah.
Not Albert.
Yeah, because like, they can't.
Like, so Chimney does 24 hour shifts.
Maddie does 12 hour shifts when Chimgets home from the 24, he needs to sleep.

(01:31:47):
When Maddie gets home fromthe 12, she needs to sleep.
But they're doing backto like opposite shifts.
Yeah.
So neither of them are sleeping.
Yep.
It would make more sense for Anne to comein and like cover that first 12 hours when
Maddie's at work so that when Maddie comeshome, like Chim has slept, the house is
a little bit tidied, um, and she can restwhile Chim then takes over for the baby.

(01:32:14):
It just makes no sensefor Albert to be the the
no.
But anyway, Albert's a burden.
They're kicking him out.
Yep.
Um, but John's kind of excited becauselife's pretty boring when you're retired.
So, so that's what you needanother kid in the house
and then
after you've just got rid of them.
Yeah.
So Chim goes to grab Albert'smedications and um, hands

(01:32:35):
Jee-Yun to Mrs. Lee and he goes.
"Okay, Grandma's gonna hold you whileDaddy goes to pack," and Mrs. Lee
like "I'm not, uh, I mean like yourmother," and Chim's just like, "yep.
We'd be so grateful to you that youtook in her kid after she was gone.
Loved him, loved me.
You finished the job shestarted and I'm not sure if I

(01:32:56):
ever said thank you for that."
Um, and was literally just like, yeet!
Have the baby.
Bye
You're grandma now.
But she's Yep, she's happy.
You're grandma now.
She goes, "Don't worry,grandma's got you." It's cute.
Yes, it's sweet.
'cause like obviously she doesn't havea son, like a her son anymore for that.

(01:33:16):
Yes.
So now it's just like, well, you'vegot a family now sucked in Mrs. Lee.
Congratulations.
But that like, that's sweet.
That's the sweet, sweet part.
I like this whole, that scene is theonly good part about this episode.
Yes.
So then we, that's that wholeepisode could have been that
scene and I would've been happy.
Mm-hmm.
We've gotta get throughthe final montage though.
Sorry.

(01:33:37):
We're gonna get a montage talkingabout parenthood and being a parent.
Apparently the whole theme of thisepisode is letting go, uh, because that's,
I'm
pretty sure it's parenthood but sure,
because that's what Hen says with heropening monologue is, uh, "Being a parent
is a process of letting go." As we getthe monologue and all of the different

(01:33:57):
montage of the different parents thatwe've met throughout the episode um, our
needle drop is going to be "SalisburyHill" by Peter Gabriel, which according
to Wikipedia is a song about letting go.
Mm-hmm.
Who'd have thought.
Even the music director had signedout of this episode and literally
just Googled songs about letting go.

(01:34:18):
I was like, that'll fucking do.
What are the songs that are goingto target everyone's heartstrings?
Oh, I know FleetwoodMac and Peter Gabriel.
Let's go.
Um,
yeah, so I just googled like I wascurious and just Googled songs about
letting go, and I love that thesecond suggestion is "Since You've
Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson, I justdon't think it would've hit the same.

(01:34:38):
No, probably not.
Oh
yeah.
I can breathe for the first time.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's not really,
also, we are never ever gettingback together, which I, I also just
don't, don't know if it would've, um,
not quite the right tone.
It wouldn't have hit the same.
Yeah.
No.
But anyway, har Karen, I justdid it now, Haren and Ken
see?

(01:34:59):
Ken and Haren,
um, Karen and Hen ask Denny,
should we just call them Henren?
Let's just,
Henren.
They decide that they're gonnaask, uh, Denny what he wants to do.
They're gonna delegate theirdecision making to their son.
And
maybe they should have done thatbefore they started fostering.
Maybe they did and, and I don't know.

(01:35:21):
Who knows?
Anyway,
I don't know.
He was a year younger then too.
It's like forever in children years
and then May gets home andAthena goes to apologize, but
May just gives her a big hug.
Oh, yeah.
Your body tackles her.
Yeah.
She's like, "I'm so sorryI put you through all that!"
And, um, so they're, they're okay now

(01:35:41):
then we go to, go back toBryson in the hospital with his
mother, who I completely, I I'dforgotten about her at this point.
Yeah, we've, we haven't even been talkingthat long and I totally forgot that Bryson
and his and super Supermom Beth existed.
I think the only reason that theyget that is the line of the monologue
that, uh, Hen is giving is that westruggle to see them quote unquote

(01:36:02):
kids, um, as their own person insteadof just as an extension of ourselves.
I think that ties into Beth who waslike putting her and her, um, her
content creation's needs over Bryson's.
I don't care.
Nobody cares.
Um,
yeah, no one cares.
So we cut back to, uh, the Madneyapartment where Jee-Yun and has

(01:36:23):
finally gone down for the night.
Chim is unpacking, um, takeout becausehe is going to surprise Maddie with
dinner and a movie like it's like datenight, but you know, new parent style
'cause it's gonna happen on the couch.
And he very graciously lets Maddiepick what they're going to watch
for their dinner in the movie.
Um, and she's very excited.

(01:36:45):
And then we cut to like maybe 30 minuteslater, it's not gonna be that long.
Um, they are both wiped out, asleep onthe couch and we see the movie still
playing on the TV screen in front of them,which is the feed from the baby monitor.
It's very cute.
That's cute.
And also that scene also was very cute.
Like really sad that they decidedto watch the baby monitor.

(01:37:07):
It's like no.
Yeah.
On your date night.
I mean, they're stillin the new parent thing.
Their kid's still cute or has justturned cute at two months old.
I don't know.
They're not an alien anymore.
It's cute.
Um, then we get a rareChristopher sighting because,
a random Christopher sighting.
Yeah.
I wonder if there was extra storylinefor the Diaz's that got cut in favor

(01:37:31):
for the David Wallaceing, um, storyline.
But, um, Ana and Eddie are onthe couch watching a movie,
not the baby feed monitor.
Not like baby monitor feed.
They're also watching Jee-Yun's babymonitor, just like this is really boring.
Or it could have been worse.
They could have been watchingChristopher sleep, um, which wouldn't

(01:37:53):
have worked because Christophercan't sleep and he's come out to
ask if he can watch TV with them.
Eddie looks a little bit like,oh dude, like you're, you're
harshing, you're crashing.
You know, you're cock blocking me here.
Ana is immediately like, "Get inhere, bud." Um, which is interesting.

(01:38:13):
So then Chris gets topick what they watch.
Eddie says that.
Yeah, Eddie says he is gotta picksomething good for them to watch
because apparently they don't like,
Just not Jee-Yun's baby monitor.
They don't like the kung fu moviethat they were watching before.
The voiceover Hen says, "Sometimesdedication isn't always a good thing. We
put our kids first for so long we can losesight of ourselves." That's where we go
back to, uh, Connor, who broke his legs.

(01:38:35):
Yes, he broke his legs,
but his mother is feedinghim chocolate pudding
and not just feeding him.
She's literally doing the,here comes the airplane.
Um, which is when I completely changedmy opinion of her and her husband.
And I'm now fully on Harv's side.

(01:38:55):
I don't, Ellen, I mean Bex alsotook out it, I just read, um,
Ellen, 'cause that's the name ofthe dead woman in the next scene.
Um, Bex also took out a restraining orderon Trish and Connor and this scene, um,
is it, it's not even possible 'causethey're fictional, but she just went
to the judge showed them the scene.
It was like, "oh, fuck yeah. Stamp that."
Like, I, I don't, I don't agreethat he should have, you know,

(01:39:19):
um, tampered with the trellisand put Connor's life in danger.
But
yeah, like he could have killed this kid.
That's probably not okay.
But if this is the level of coddlingthat she was doing to Connor, then
yeah, no, get him away from me.
Yeah.
Um, yeah, then we go back to, um,Julia staring at the empty bedroom

(01:39:40):
and picks up, um, her mother's locket.
Uh, it just that we already did thatwhole thing with fucking Abby and her mom.
Yeah, it's true.
Been, I don't, it's been about doingit again since then, but anyway, yeah.
All right.
It's a very quick scene anyway, but we'regoing back to very quick scene dispatch.
She's, that's, that's the part ofher mother that she's taking with

(01:40:01):
her and moving on with, I guess.
Well,
it's the locket that hasapparently nothing in it
because they don't even show it.
It's not even significant enough to open.
Well, you know, maybe lock, she'sgot like, maybe she's literally
got her mother in it now.
Maybe she put the ashes in it.
Like, it could have been like acute bit of engraved jewelry or
like her wedding ring on a lockor on a necklace or something.
But no, it's just like,
or a locket where we saw thephotos on the inside, but

(01:40:24):
yeah.
Um, like, could have been a familyphoto, could have been a photo of
those two as like when she was youngerand No, it's just a naked locket.
No, it's just a, it's just a, a randompiece of jewelry that they found
somewhere in like wardrobe, in costumes.
Yeah.
Um, then, uh, Hen says, "We live ourlives for our children. Every single thing

(01:40:45):
we do for is for them. Even the thingsthat are hard for them to understand,"
which is the killing yourself to setyour child free, I guess is is why we,
we get Julia at that point then we'regonna cut to 9-1-1 dispatch where Josh is
completely inappropriate, um, because heand Sue are going over the roster trying

(01:41:09):
to work out how they can get all theshifts field considering that everybody
is leaving to go on leave to take careof children or because they're newly
pregnant and will need leave later on.
And he turns to Sue and says,"How come you never had kids?"
Yeah.
Damn.
Yeah.

(01:41:29):
"How come you and Don never had kids?Oh, sorry. None of my business."
Which you recognize that it's none ofyour business and yet you had to ask it.
And I know it's for this next lineand I know it's for the next episode.
Um, but.
Yeah, because the Sue's responseis, "I don't, I have kids, I
have a floor full of them."

(01:41:52):
But like, you just, you maybe get a life,honey, but you don't ask people that!
It's found family.
No, you don't ask, don't ask people that.
But this is bringing in the found familyaspect, which we, we, we hardly ever have,
um, found family acknowledged or like,like we have, obviously it's in the show a

(01:42:12):
lot, but they never actually call it out.
They're usually saying that like, bloodfamily is number one, but at least
in this one they actually say a fam,sometimes a family is what you make it.
And then we cut and then we cutback to, um, Hen ren who for some
reason had been given more kids tofoster, despite the fact that they're
clearly unfit to be foster parents.

(01:42:34):
Like for emotional reasons.
Yeah,
yeah.
Like they just threw atantrum a couple days ago and.
Then we're just like, oh,actually our 8-year-old son has
decided it's all G if we foster.
Exactly.
I I hope this is like alittle while later though.
Yes.
I don't know.

(01:42:54):
Timey wimey in this episode.
But yeah, so they um, Diedra's like,"yeah, it'll just be a few days."
There's two kids who have like asuitcase each and Hen tells Denny
to take, uh, the kids to their room.
Apparently their aunt's drivingdown for them in a couple days.
Yeah.
So this literally will just be afew days because there is biological

(01:43:14):
family coming to claim them.
And Denny's like, "cool, I'll show you allthe good toys. You're gonna like it here.
My moms are awesome." Like, that's cute.
Danny's cute.
And yeah.
Then Hen says, "if you're doingthis whole parenthood," take a shot.
Yeah.
Oh wow.
Um, "If you're doing this wholeparenthood thing right, it's your
kid who's teaching you the lifelessons, not the other way around."
No,

(01:43:35):
like I'm pretty sure you should beteaching your kids some lessons.
I think that's, I think if youlearn a few lessons on the way,
that's probably like bonus.
But no, you should be teaching your kid.
Yeah.
It's like May, I'll accept two waystreet, but it's definitely not one way.
Like the kid to you.
Yeah, no.

(01:43:56):
Um, yeah, so season four definitelymy favorite season still.
But like Jesus Christ, some of themare, some of them are episodes.
Um,
can't have bangers everyweek, unfortunately.
Yeah.
This one just didn't really hit did, it
just didn't hit.
And I think the reason it didn't hitwas that it was trying so hard to hit.

(01:44:17):
It was trying so hard.
Yeah.
It, it had like, it was throwing theemotions at us and we're just like, we
don't, like we're, we have emotional.
We we're still not overthe emotions of last week.
That was literally just a weekago and was a much better episode
and so much shit happened.
Yes.
That they should have just done likea more comic relief one this week.
Yes.
But instead they were like,oh, let's make it real sad.

(01:44:38):
And we're like, we don't care.
Albert almost died.
We are real sad still that Albert's sad.
Yes.
Mm-hmm.
They're trying to get us, like,if, which they're trying to
get us to care about stuff.
We just unfortunately don't care about.
We're trying to get us tocare about characters that we
literally met two seconds ago.
And like David Wallace it, andthat never works for me anyway.

(01:44:58):
I care about David Wallace morethan the mother and daughter
on this show for this episode.
I think because David Wallacewas the first time we saw it.
And, and also because it wasDavid Wallace, like, I cared
about him from The Office.
I didn't care about him from 9-1-1.
Now we, I was like,whatcha doing with my cfo?
But now we recognize the pattern andwe see when it's coming and we're
like, oh, I see what you're doing,
no, they're trying to makeme care about this person.

(01:45:20):
Yeah, but so we're trying, they'retrying to make us care about
characters that we've never met.
They're trying to make us care aboutsomething that happened four years ago.
It might, yeah, that too.
Um, like it might've, I was gonna sayit might've hit a bit better if we
didn't have such a big episode lastweek, but I don't think it would've,
no, I don't think it would.
I wish they just... parenthood absolutelyfine to do, um, if they wanna do fucking

(01:45:43):
Hen and like Henren be dickheads.
But the rest of it shouldhave been very lighthearted
there.
Yeah.
There was definitely different waysthey could have covered parenthood.
Yeah.
Showed how like Chimney and Maddiewas struggling because like it
was their first time back at work.
Why throw emotions down ourthroat when last week was so
emotionally taxing and then we hada weird time jump in in a week.

(01:46:05):
We had a two month time jump.
We could have had a week of chimneyand Maddie being on maternity leave.
I dunno,
like, I don't know whythey rushed through that.
Well, they needed, they neededMaddie to go back to work.
And you can't do that in a week,
but why?
Because that was their struggleof parenthood is like trying to
be a parent and work at the sametime and have two working parents.

(01:46:29):
Yeah.
Which I get, but theycould have done that.
Like, I don't know.
It was stupid.
We needed something lighthearted.
I'm still tired from Albert.
Like, just give me aminute to have a break?
Yeah.
Well, you're not gonna get abreak next week, so unfortunately.
Oh Lord.
All right.
Tell us what's happening next week.
Well, you already knowwhat's happening next.
I already know what'shappening 'cause I've seen it.
If anybody else, if anybody else,

(01:46:51):
remind me what happenedin the next episode.
So next week, the members of theone, a team rushed to the side
of a hit and run that leaves afamiliar facing critical condition.
Meanwhile, with Buck's help, Athenainvestigates the case of a missing woman
last seen in a casino, and Josh begins.
Actually it's Josh recalls anemergency in 2006 that led him

(01:47:13):
to become a 9-1-1 operator.
But it's literally Josh begins,
it's, it's, Josh Begins.
I was so excited to see this.
You, it's, you know, I was talkingabout my notes, um, the notes that
I wrote in my first watch through.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Uh, my notes from this actually saylike, just check the episode title to
see if it was actually Josh Begins.

(01:47:33):
Uh, yeah.
Uh, so triggers for next week, we have,um, car accident, car versus person.
But person does not win.
Car wins.
Um, generic trigger for cops.
Um, discussion of missing Blackpersons and treatment thereof.

(01:47:55):
By whom?
I'm not entirely sure.
Possibly by the cops.
Um,
cops, yeah.
Hit and run, which reflects backto the car accident, kidnapping.
Um.
Roofies and threat of gun violence.
Yay.
Another real lighthearted episode.
No, but I,
this the next episode Iactually did like, but

(01:48:15):
well, Josh is definitelythe star of the next episode
because it's Josh Begins.
Yeah, it is.
Josh begins, we shouldjust call it Josh Begins,
it's actually called "First Responders".
I dunno why No.
AKA Josh begins.
