Introduction and Episode Context
00:00:21
Speaker
Hi everyone and welcome to Pesci6101 where we discuss everything about the world of Psyche and the antics of Sean and Gus in sunny Santa Barbara. I'm Skylar and this is my partner Mace Roden and today we're going to be talking about season 2 episode 11 of the famed TV show Psyche.
00:00:39
Speaker
There's something about Mira. There's I was like, oh, should we have watched There's Something About Mary? But I looked it up and I don't think they're like that similar. I think it's more just a nod to the title. I've never seen it. Okay. I haven't seen it either. No.
00:00:54
Speaker
But when I was looking up the number of the episode, because I i just forgot, it popped up and I was like, oh my gosh, Cameron Diaz. Yeah. Well, maybe we will. Yeah. some side work some other time but um just for fun we could yeah I feel like I remember having like either VHS or the DVD or something like in my house yeah like it was too old for me at the time oh that's that's what I remember yeah well I could be I could totally imagine it just being like a like a quirky girl that just like everybody likes which I feel like is kind of Mira
00:01:28
Speaker
Yeah.
Episode Progress and Tropes Discussion
00:01:29
Speaker
you know The quirkiest of girls. The quirkiest of girls. Quirky with capital Q. Absolutely. And Sean does nod to, like, he says the title. This is one of those episodes where he yes says it.
00:01:43
Speaker
Yes. Which I always There's something about Mira. Yeah. I always love when they do that in ah TV shows or movies or or or whatever it is. It just feels so...
00:01:56
Speaker
charming yeah maybe the word for it i don't know sometimes it's done really well and sometimes you're like i yeah yeah i just i feel like this was quite natural yes i agree and i like that i mean we'll get to it but it was in the nut shelling i guess like yes and i love the energy of that nut shelling but yeah so good the episode 11 were a decent way through the season now aren't we yeah well we did the we had our mid-season finale in christmas so what this must be like halfway i guess yeah just i don't know how many episodes there actually are in this season please
00:02:42
Speaker
say I can type, I promise. Season two. Let's see. There are a total of 16 episodes. So we've only got five more to go. my Like two thirds of the way, I guess.
00:02:57
Speaker
Yeah. Two thirds. Wow. That's pretty crazy. and feel like we
Gus's College Backstory
00:03:01
Speaker
say that every time. We're like, how do we get so far? know. We're actually doing this. We're astonishing ourselves. But this episode's fun because now we're finally, we're getting like more gustery episodes, which I like.
00:03:12
Speaker
this Yeah, this is a big one. That's true. And it's a Gus backstory episode too, which I love. You know, we got that a little bit with Gus's dad might have killed a guy. get little bit of his family.
00:03:24
Speaker
But now we get what I assume is like college age Gus. Yeah, I think that's... Yeah, he it was 97, I think he said. feel he says how old what year it was in college, but that was super funny.
00:03:39
Speaker
I missed that then if he said that. Well, let's pull up our trusty transcript. Okay.
00:03:46
Speaker
Yeah, it's 97 and they're in Mazatlan. Yeah, which I was like, dang, Gus, that really doesn't sound like that sounds like it would be out of his comfort zone to be like traveling and like partying and stuff. Yeah, right.
00:03:58
Speaker
I wonder, wonder what Gus's college life was like. What were his friends like? Who was he hanging out with? His um quartet. That's college, right?
00:04:10
Speaker
It is college. So did the quartet go? Were they performing? Maybe. I could see this because he's still in his sweater vest. Yes. and And so I could see this being sort of like you know a trend transitional period for him, you know, kind of coming out of that nerdy guy that he was at home and like becoming the cool singer, partier guy, like kind of like playing with the boundaries of who he is going to be.
00:04:37
Speaker
yeah I could see that.
00:04:39
Speaker
Because he's got the high top fade, too. he does. It's a great high top fade. Yeah. It's so nice. And I think it's fun, too. um We've seen Gus very closely buzzed the entire show. yeah Essentially bald.
00:04:54
Speaker
Not really, but so close. So to see him with, like, a good head of hair it's like, really kind of shocking. Yeah. It's, like, really fun to be like, oh, my gosh, a young Guster. Totally. And it does really, like...
00:05:07
Speaker
make him feel so young totally because there's this maturity about like how he carries himself in in current day yeah and yeah yeah it's just it's such a fun glimpse definitely i yeah i really i enjoy this episode on the whole so the the general premise is that there's a girl
00:05:34
Speaker
Dun dun dun. Dun dun dun. Her name is Mira. If you didn't get that. Who Gus seems to be like put under a spell by every time he's around her.
00:05:46
Speaker
And um they accidentally on purpose got married during like a spring break trip. That was like a wild story. Yeah.
00:05:58
Speaker
Totally. And Yeah. It's what's what's so
Chaotic Relationships and Kerry Washington
00:06:05
Speaker
interesting to me. Well, about how that that plot background is introduced is, well, there's a PI who's been following them.
00:06:13
Speaker
And I guess I'm skipping ahead a little bit now. But like just the way Gus is like knows exactly what he's talking about. Oh, yes. like immediately Yeah. Like.
00:06:26
Speaker
There's no questions. It's not like they were blackout drunk or anything. Like, he remembers. I mean, I guess he annulled it. Like, he was an active participant in this whole thing. and And it's so funny that, like, Sean would never, like, have known anything about it.
00:06:40
Speaker
Yeah. And I guess we did theorize, you know, that they weren't as close when they got... going at the beginning of the show yeah so maybe you know he best was away at college like they maybe they weren't in touch maybe they hung out when they got you know when he was in town but like not that much yeah lechon was off doing you know all his crazy yeah but i do love because like we and we talk a little bit about in this episode how like sean's skill as a liar and and I feel like you see in this moment like Gus is kind of liar too yeah definitely well and I think you know we've talked before how the two of them
00:07:24
Speaker
The two of them both kind of being odd ducks pairs them very nicely. And the two of them very clearly being really quite intelligent pairs them nicely as well. I think this is just another reason where they're similar but different.
00:07:40
Speaker
True. Still pairs them together. here um and maybe who knows i mean it might just be because they have such a ah shared childhood that they have like similar similar characteristics or similar things that they're good at who knows um but it is definitely interesting to see both of them are you know half liars half truthers yeah they're wily they are this this was also super interesting because like mira What it made me think of, I know you have watched Sherlock as well.
00:08:11
Speaker
Yes. But that whole, like, how in Sherlock, when John Watson gets with... Mary. Mary.
00:08:21
Speaker
and And you realize Mary has so much more to her. and And there's, like, this whole thing about how, like, John wants that. Like, he wants... yeah craziness And like he seeks it out and he doesn't even know he's doing it. And I feel like and I think we've also mentioned on the pod before how a like Psych as a Sherlock Holmes adaptation. And I feel like this is a perfect example of that exact kind of thing where like Gus.
00:08:50
Speaker
As straight-laced as he wants to be or or claims to want to be, like, he craves this, like, chaos. Without a doubt. How would Sean be his best friend if he didn't?
00:09:01
Speaker
Like, Sean is nearly the embodiment of chaos. Yeah, and there's so much kinship between Sean and Mira. Like, there's – I love that line where Gus is explaining, like,
00:09:12
Speaker
how she's so crazy and he's like she's had like a thousand jobs and sean's like there's nothing wrong with that yes so good so funny like they they have this connection which is like and you can see why why gus would get swept up in yeah all of it because that's just so gus definitely and and we know that gus has this kind of weird relationship in general with women like he has a very hard time so now imagine you have this person who is just as like charming and endearing and interesting as sean is but now they're a woman because of like no chance yeah he it is cute like also i felt like how mira she really knows him in like oh yeah an interesting way i feel i get the impression they didn't spend a whole lot of time together just like that time i in mazalan but
00:10:04
Speaker
But when he gets there and he like can't speak to her and she's like, no, it's fine. He yeah just does this. Like, i mean, i guess they like he would have had to been in touch for the annulment maybe. But like they they seem to be like to really have.
00:10:21
Speaker
Yeah. Sort of an intimacy. Yeah. Which is kind of fun. Yeah. yeah i I like Mira. I think this is one of my favorite performances by Kerry Washington. was going to say, it's so interesting that it's Kerry Washington because...
00:10:38
Speaker
I feel like she has a very – she has a name, Kerry Washington. Yes. You know who that is, especially since Scandal and all the other amazing – I was going to say, this had to be pre-Scandal, right?
00:10:50
Speaker
Yeah. Totally. Totally. But I'm still like watching it like, that is a star. No, I know. Because I feel like – Before now, watching the show as many times as I watched it, I was just like, oh my God, Mira. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And this time I watched it, I like, wait, that's Carrie Watson.
00:11:09
Speaker
I was like, holy God. You know what I mean? Yeah. So i it's fun to see her in this like less serious role where it really just feels like she's having fun because Mira is such a fun out-of-the-box character. Yeah, totally. a character Yeah, because there is like on Scandal and like some of the other work she's probably done.
00:11:34
Speaker
um There's like a weightiness to it that she doesn't really have to have here. I'm just pulling up her IMDb because like I want to know what she like. What was her last thing before she did?
00:11:45
Speaker
Oh, I don't know. That's a good question. Because this must have been like 2008, 2009. Yeah. Yeah.
00:11:51
Speaker
yeah psych 2008 which is in a music video fantastic four so definitely like she hadn't become yeah like leading lady carrie washington yet yeah a couple of fantastic four movies though don't know who she was i remember those from when i was a child but Me too. Those are so good. Remember that the details.
00:12:19
Speaker
Yeah, so that's so fun. An early, early Carrie. Yeah, it was nice to see her. And I thought too, it was so funny seeing her in the flashback with this like kind of spiky purple and blonde bob. I was like, that's out of the box for what I think about when think about Carrie Washington. Yeah.
00:12:38
Speaker
But it would make sense as like a college, like this kind of, you know, again, quirky college kid in Mazatlan. Like that kind of makes sense. Yeah. yeah yeah but
Sean's Romantic Cynicism
00:12:47
Speaker
Yeah. And I love kind of like like a friend's flashback, you know, where they're just who they are, but just like dressed differently and in wigs. And there's something so fun about that. Like it's never not fun.
00:12:59
Speaker
Well, I feel like that is... Like, that's what Psych does. Henry is himself just in a wig. Yeah, so true. Sean is himself just in a wig. That's a great point. But I do feel like in flashbacks with Henry, like, there is something more, like...
00:13:13
Speaker
grounded about it. Like, I don't feel when I'm watching ah that one of the flashbacks at the top of the show that it's... that he is not Henry yeah yeah in the past. I don't know. But that's, like, totally ah great point. Like, I did not even think about that.
00:13:29
Speaker
Yeah, i wonder if with with Henry, the... the How do I put this? the The age jumps that we're doing with Henry, although they are large, they are at a point in time in which the way you look doesn't really change that much. Totally.
00:13:45
Speaker
So, like, yes, we're going from Henry with hair to Henry without hair. Yeah. But like, otherwise, he pretty much looks the same between, you know, 30 and 50 or 40 and 60 or whatever it might be, you know? Yeah. And for Gus, I mean, I guess that's 10 years ago, but it's still like technology is more similar and stuff. So like, you're not getting like the color difference, like the sapia and like yeah that. So it kind of feels...
00:14:12
Speaker
I don't know. It feels sillier. Yeah. just for them um totally but yeah Like the one where, um, where Sean gets pulled over. We like finally get the flashback of Henry pulling Sean over. Yeah. Oh my gosh.
00:14:28
Speaker
Yeah. That's like a collision of the two types of flashbacks because Sean looks ridiculous and Henry is just Henry. Yeah.
00:14:37
Speaker
yeah totally true totally if they picked like anybody else to play because he's supposed to be like just turned 18 yeah James Roday Rodriguez is definitely nowhere near 18 at that point oh my gosh if they got anyone else I would have been like oh yeah i buy that but I was like oh no no yeah I mean that would put them in like a tricky position though because like the child actors being like yeah 12 then like like Sean isn't like so old so it's like where do you meet in the middle where these children become this man like you cast someone totally different it's like yeah that would be tricky but it is such a funny scene and he's so serious so serious and I can't I can't confirm but in my mind he's also wearing guy liner like you know the black smoky very Pete Wentz fallout boy yeah I think that may be true and I feel like does he have like a mullet
00:15:35
Speaker
so Are we just making this way worse than our head? Possibly, but that's our truth. And we're going to stick with that. Yeah, when we get there.
00:15:46
Speaker
Oh my gosh. All right. Well, speaking of flashbacks, should we go back to the the top flashback? Yeah. and I like this flashback. It's so cute. Again, we have Henry being a great dad.
00:15:57
Speaker
He has brought the boys out to a fancy theater. So cute. Yeah, now that you say that, yeah Nobody else. There's no other parents there. He just like did that. Like what?
00:16:09
Speaker
And I feel like you he did this to be like, boys, we're going to learn about manners. True. This is why we're going to the fancy restaurant today. They were in nice clothes. Even Sean, he had like a nice, you know, yeah shirt on.
00:16:20
Speaker
They were sitting at their seats. I bet they had like their napkins on their laps. We're not with them for very long. But you you know it seemed very like, we're going to do this right if we're going to do this, as Henry often does. a life lesson. Yes, all the life lessons from Henry. yeah It does feel like Even like with that, though, like he is he's quite patient with them.
00:16:42
Speaker
Yeah, no doubt. So again, we're seeing that like had good yeah good dad Henry. or like I mean, complex good dad Henry. Yes, yes. Attempt at being good dad Henry. Attentive, for sure. Attentive, yes.
00:16:54
Speaker
And he's such a romantic. We see a man drop something on a woman's champagne glass, which Sean immediately clocks and is like...
00:17:07
Speaker
i love I mean, could truly be like a dangerous situation. 100%. Yeah. yeah But Sean being eight or whatever and also like also craving chaos and drama. He's a spy. That's a poisoner.
00:17:27
Speaker
And then wonder if Henry would have thought anything of it if like it didn't happen right away. Like the proposal, like would he have intervened? Cause like, you don't know what he dropped in your glass, you know? i mean, I guess it's like a restaurant, so it's not really the venue for,
00:17:45
Speaker
I think definitely. don't know. i yeah bet. Like, I think as much as Henry, like, ribs Sean occasionally, even at this young age, I think Henry trusts Sean enough to legitimately identify things. So if he was like, that guy dropped something in that woman's glass and then nothing happened,
00:18:03
Speaker
I bet later on you could like, yeah what was going on here, bucko? Yeah, because pretty much as soon as he turns, I guess you kind because what I love is like, Henry, you see this little smile and that's when I'm like, he's such a romantic because he really is.
00:18:15
Speaker
um And I, like, he sees like immediately as soon as he turns what's happening. Yeah. so had he not seen that, he probably would have reacted differently. Yeah.
00:18:27
Speaker
And I think even like Henry is so observant, even if she hadn't like pulled the ring out of the glass immediately, think he would have been like, oh, I can see the ring in the glass or whatever. Yeah. And either just like the behavior of the guy, like he was like so like waiting and yeah. Yeah.
00:18:45
Speaker
Yeah, but it was funny, like, because Sean kind of says what he thinks happened, and then Henry's like, you've seen people propose before, and I thought that was such a funny line, because it's like, is that something we see often, just in the world?
00:18:57
Speaker
don't know, I feel like in, like, TV and movies, yeah. but Yeah, true. I don't actually know I've ever seen someone propose song in life. I don't think I ever have, yeah. Maybe it's more common, then, to do that, like, at a restaurant. that's true. Not like I've ever had restaurants like that, either, so maybe it's still common, and I just don't.
00:19:14
Speaker
I'm just not there. I don't know. don't know. Yeah, what is the... I don't really know what the the common proposal procedure is. Like, I wonder, is it a little bit more, like, intimate nowadays? Or is it more... but Maybe it just has to do with the person, like, what the person prefers.
00:19:30
Speaker
I hope. I hope that's true. One would help, yeah. You also see, like, flash mobs and stuff. so Oh, that's true. Oh, my gosh. I can't even imagine. so maybe there's, as with everything in our current time, there's...
00:19:44
Speaker
becoming more private and also way more public. Yes. Yeah. I just thought that was funny though. Yeah. We did see sean fake proposed to jules in a cafe that's true we did maybe a nod to that we in the audience have seen someone we have indeed proposed before yeah well i feel like too know
Gus's Attraction to Chaos
00:20:04
Speaker
ah sean gus henry all of them they're such like media connoisseurs that i can imagine even at this age like sean's probably seen a couple of rom-coms that oh yeah totally you know
00:20:15
Speaker
Even if it was just in passing, I feel like even on a cop show, there's probably going to be someone that proposed to somebody else at some point in time. Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of Sean and rom-coms, I do feel like this also gives a fun or like an interesting view of like Sean's view of romance.
00:20:33
Speaker
and like Like kind of this foundation to like how Sean will view romance forever. Like he's immediately catching that this guy is not... invested completely totally and this guy doesn't even try and hide it either i know what a cat yeah um but yeah he's just like by the way they're not gonna make it and i feel like i could just see like older sean like catching cheaters in that boy do you think like part of the reason why sean for as happy-go-lucky as he is he can be quite cynical with certain things mm-hmm
00:21:11
Speaker
I'm wondering if part of that has to do with the fact that he just, he's so good at like reading, just we said, like reading the situation. can just see how in this case, yes, it's this beautiful moment. And maybe Gus took it as this beautiful, you know, sweet, kind, loving moment. But Sean's like, nope, not really. Underneath it all, this guy doesn't actually care. Like there's no reason to think of this as moment.
00:21:34
Speaker
Yeah. know And he's been like that since such a young age. Like, does he even have any memories of just something being, like, joyful? Yeah. And I wonder, like, and that's also interesting because then Henry, you know, Henry has kind of trained him to see everything and interpret everything in a And sort of be cynical because like you're looking for the bad guy all the time. Totally.
00:21:58
Speaker
But Henry's like and really moved by it. Yeah. and And i mean we go back to all the time but like Henry is so he really is a romantic. and so I wonder if like you know to an extent that's just kind of how they're wired.
00:22:14
Speaker
um The way like we see Sean and romance he is always kind of like He always keeps it as at arm's length.
00:22:25
Speaker
Yeah, definitely. And he's had a lot of kind of tough gripes or tough rubs or whatever the saying is with romance. Like his parents getting divorced.
00:22:36
Speaker
Yeah. you You know, him and um Abigail, you know, not really like figuring out how things were going to go there. We don't even know like all of the other times that, you know, whatever. Yeah. Well, and like with Abigail, like that first date that they were going to go on, he could not.
00:22:53
Speaker
right Barrett. Yeah. Yeah, totally. So who, you know, I could understand maybe how those things could make him a little bit more apprehensive maybe um towards situations like this. And we don't have a lot of background into Henry's childhood. I would love.
00:23:12
Speaker
Yeah. We just know that his dad is kind of Sean like and his brother. Very Sean like. So he's sort of the black sheep of his immediate family. Yeah.
00:23:23
Speaker
That's. You know, that's so interesting, a black sheep raising another black sheep, but in like totally different ways. Yeah. Like, well, and I feel like that's so life Like, you know, you try to be a certain thing and try to teach your kid to be a certain thing. And so they rebel and become the thing you tried not to be. Sure. Yeah.
00:23:47
Speaker
Also, Gilbert girls. Oh, my gosh. Definitely. Yeah, their dynamic is just like so fascinating because I, and which we've talked about before, but just like how Sean is what Henry wanted, but in a way that Henry didn't want it. And like how he is so dedicated to solving yeah things, which is, yeah, what he was trained to do, but he just does it in a way that is not...
00:24:19
Speaker
I don't know, just he has to do it outside the lines in some way. Yeah. Yeah, I think Henry like henry re envisioned being able to, if he got if he got this kid from a young age, he'd be like, the exact thing. yeah You know, he'd like mold them into this perfect thing exactly as he wanted.
00:24:37
Speaker
um Which to some extent he did, right? He he molded certain aspects about Sean, but there are just some things like so indelible, so like built into who you are as a person, you just can't change them. And that's like not a bad thing, you know?
00:24:52
Speaker
It ends up being really good for Henry to have someone who is like Sean in his life. Yeah. Yeah. Well, and like some of what Sean, I mean, really, that could even be like more just how they're similar and what they have in common, what he gets from Henry, because Henry tried to be different than what his father tried to make him too. Not that we know a whole lot about that, but he, he did kind of try to go a different way. And like Henry put so much pressure on Sean that Sean also tries to go yeah a different way, like in response to what Henry is trying to do, which is probably exactly what Henry did, but the influence is different. So the result is different.
00:25:37
Speaker
Right. Um, Once again, just another little scene that we're... There's just so much to see. I feel like every time we see Henry with them, you can like... Yeah.
00:25:49
Speaker
It's like not at it. Yeah. Yeah, totally. the juicy bits. You know? So that's the flashback. And then... Yeah, let yeah we got to keep going.
00:26:01
Speaker
They're at the batting cages, which I thought this was hysterical because I feel like... It adorable. Yeah. It was like... What a fun activity. I know. I thought the same thing. we just do not do activities the way we we totally don't. You know, lots of people would not think to do.
00:26:18
Speaker
Like, oh, we want to hang out? Let's go to the batting cages. Yes. Well, I feel like nowadays it's very rare to see people like doing one-off things just for fun. ah Yeah, totally. Everything has to be for an outcome.
00:26:30
Speaker
Yes. It has to be to get super great at it or to show it on something or post it somewhere. Monetize it. Right. Yeah. Can't just be to enjoy it. You can't just go practice your swing for fun. Come on. That's what I want to do. They do play softball.
00:26:47
Speaker
But I hope they doubt they do yet because they're still sort of, I feel like, getting ingratiated with the... Yes, totally. But it will come back, this batting practice.
00:26:59
Speaker
And while they're there, i love that Sean let Gus clock the PI. Yeah. yeah balti a while ago yeah probably hours he's been following us all day like yeah it's been a long time he just waits until gus says something yeah he's just he's got eyes on it you let him follow me into the bathroom that's my sanctuary and she's like i know
00:27:27
Speaker
own
00:27:30
Speaker
The way they decide they're going to get him or like, you know, acknowledge, get him to acknowledge that they know that he's following them. So crazy. Just throw balls at him.
00:27:42
Speaker
And Sean throws one and then Gus is like, no, let me do it. And the whole wind up. The most ridiculous wind up. And then... such a dramatic throw and then just blink right off the fence and john's like that might be the most humiliating humiliating moment of your life i was wondering if that was like an improv like if duley hill tried to throw it and then just like oh my gosh i hope so And James was just like, that was really embarrassing.
00:28:18
Speaker
Oh, man. I hope so. I hope so. Yeah, well, love, too, that they don't even end up hitting him. The guy is just like, okay, you tried. Stop it. Relax. We all got it. Yeah. I know what you're trying to do. Hi.
00:28:31
Speaker
yeah i know what dr do hi Which, okay, hold on. Now I have a question. Let's hear it. Okay, I'm going to have to jump to the end in order to come back to the question.
00:28:44
Speaker
However, Mace Ronan, PI, happens to be, in I'll say it this, happens to be involved in the case more directly than just being the PI. Yes. Why?
00:28:55
Speaker
Why? Why? why why Why did he find the boys? Did he legitimately find the boys so that he could Gus could go and get this marriage annulled?
00:29:11
Speaker
but um I was about to say, I guess they like they wouldn't need to because he wasn't actually going to marry her. But maybe it was just to keep up the cover with Mira. Because Mira had to, you know, if Mira was like, yeah I'm already married. We have to, like, although we could have maybe just said, like, okay, got it.
00:29:29
Speaker
I don't know. we go and see them Maybe just to keep up the... The ruse. Yeah. Okay, that makes sense. Because I was just thinking that. i was like, hold on, wait. Yeah, no, that is a good point.
00:29:39
Speaker
That's strange. But we need to meet him, of course. And when we need to see him opening up his cigarettes. That's very important. But so we find out that this PI was hired to find Gus by Gus's wife, which of course Sean is like, none of us are married. And Gus is not laughing. And Sean is laughing.
00:30:02
Speaker
And Gus is not laughing. like Why aren't you laughing? He goes, oh my God. Yeah. One of my favorites. So good. i love that like wordless communication.
00:30:15
Speaker
oh yeah. Great. Well, and too, I love... I don't know. Sometimes I feel like, you know, you see on TV. Yeah. Again, the, the like facial expressions or whatever of, of yeah. Those like wordless communications, as you said, and you're like, Oh, I get it. Like, I get what you mean, but this felt like I get what you mean, but in a best friend kind of a way. yeah Do you know what i mean? He was like, I can't be, I can't be telling you this, but like it happened, you know, it would just, it was perfect delivery. Yeah. Like they don't,
00:30:49
Speaker
Yeah, they just understand each other. Totally. So this all happens. And then Sean gets like legitimately upset with Gus. Yeah. He's hurt. He knew nothing about this and was not involved. Yeah.
00:31:01
Speaker
Which is interesting if our theory stands, which is that they really weren't close before this or they kind of drifted apart before this. For Sean to still be close, I guess it feels very much like Sean...
00:31:18
Speaker
kind of always thought of Gus as his like very, very close friend and Gus just kind of drifted. I mean, I think different people have different viewpoints of what it means to be ah friend with people like I think some people define friendship as like how often you talk to people or how often you see people i think other people define friendship as like we're always going to be friends as long as we were once close and like I'll always be here for you so I I feel like maybe their definition of friendship at the time was a little bit different yeah I think at the time well and we talked just at the beginning about like how like this seems for Gus like a time where he was kind of
00:31:59
Speaker
know, like doing some self-exploration. flux. Yeah. And so maybe he was sort of pulling back from Sean or or even just that version of himself that he is at home.
00:32:11
Speaker
Yeah. um A little bit in a way that maybe Sean didn't get the opportunity to do because he didn't go away like to school. He was dealing with his parents, all this stuff. He was sort of He was still in that world, maybe in a way that Gus was trying not to be. And so yeah didn't have like, you know, other close friends, which Gus does.
00:32:38
Speaker
Right. When I do like the... I do like that as a reading of it because then we do see later in the scene, Gus is like, you know when it's the real thing, you're going to be my best man.
00:32:50
Speaker
You know that. Yeah. Like, don't get it twisted, right? um But maybe just, yeah, like at that time, that wasn't something that was approachable for him or possible for him. or Yeah. one you I mean, this – obviously wasn't like planned and and so sean may have still been his best man had he got married like right then in a more traditional way but like yeah he like even the fact that all that happened and he didn't tell sean anything about it like they may just have not yeah he was embarrassed we couldn't believe and maybe they weren't like
00:33:26
Speaker
in touch as like and don't know didn't have that same intimacy that they do in this version of their relationship that we're seeing now yeah and sean's so upset that he starts calling her names harlick trollop base yeah we really see sean like kind of throwing a tantrum in this episode without a doubt absolutely he's upset with guster yeah Can't believe you love someone more than me.
00:33:55
Speaker
fair Yeah. Yeah. It's very difficult for him. At the same time, ride or die, not going to let anything oh ah happen.
00:34:07
Speaker
Absolutely. No one's going to pull the wool over Guster's eyes while Sean's there. Not going to happen.
00:34:14
Speaker
I do love... This is from that same like conversation where Sean's whining. I can't remember what exactly he's saying, but he's still whining about being left out. And Gus is like, Sean, we're on me now.
00:34:26
Speaker
Oh my God. So good. That was so good. Wait, when? what I know exactly what that was. Hold on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was something about, oh, the goat, the goat. Oh yeah, I'm supposed to be that goat. I'm supposed to be that goat. Yeah. um We're on me now. Yeah.
00:34:44
Speaker
Yeah. like Good for Gus. Absolutely. but Yeah. And Sean is definitely very good at stealing the spotlight. So yes it's good for him to be like, relax. Yeah. This is not about you.
00:34:54
Speaker
Correct. This is a Gus episode. Yes. Calm down. This is a Gus episode. and love that. I want that on a t-shirt. oh Great one. I need to write it down.
00:35:05
Speaker
We will forget.
00:35:09
Speaker
My next note after Sean were on me now is just call me the suck stopper. Oh my God. Don't call me that. I put that too. Scratch that. Don't call me that.
00:35:20
Speaker
He's so serious. Yeah. Sean is put in charge of being the suck stopper. Yes. And he's going to protect Gus from being sucked into Mira's ways when they go to see her. Hurricane Mira.
00:35:33
Speaker
Yep. And she definitely is. she like We meet her and you are like, oh, yeah. I can see how you can get wrapped up in this really fast. the When she's like rambling about why they're getting married on the beach.
00:35:46
Speaker
Yeah. And it's just like a mile a minute. And like, it's kind of the only thing you want. So I'm to let him do it. I don't know. It's like so good It's great. And even just like. Yeah, the way she, like, her affect during all this, she's, like, so animated. And she's, like, up close to him and turning her this fast and like, touching him. And, like, yeah, very engaging.
00:36:07
Speaker
Very, very engaging. Yeah, you can totally see how you get swept up in that or sucked in. Yes. Oh, yeah. Okay. So before we go Mira, we catch up with Jules and Lassie.
00:36:20
Speaker
Yes. Chasing down a perp. Oh, my gosh. So good. And Jules showcases her deductive reasoning skills and heads him off around the corner.
00:36:34
Speaker
She's like on the opposite side of the fence from like the rest of everybody. Yes. So she's really one-upped everybody, um which I was very impressed with, not only from the deductive reasoning, but like she's not from around here, you know? Yes, totally. That's a great point. And do some studying to like know what the shortcuts might be.
00:36:56
Speaker
Absolutely. Because even like her reasoning for following that guy there was that she had a hunch he might live in the area right try and cut them off on a cross street yeah yeah so like she i mean she's not from the area so no very impressive work yeah well i could see jules taking it as like it is her duty to know totally all of the different streets and how a perp could like run like i could see her doing lots of work on that to ensure that something like this doesn't happen Yeah, she is very, like, don't know, studious is the right word, but she's very dedicated. dedicated yeah yeah um And Lassie is immediately, like, ah put off by...
00:37:40
Speaker
his ego is is hurt yeah he's definitely not used to not being the best yeah yeah yeah that's true he's in like an interesting position because Jules is really starting to kind of you know he's been her mentor he's been like walking her through showing her the ropes and she's showing her Yeah.
00:38:05
Speaker
She's holding her own now. Yeah. And I love what this turns into, which is a conversation about their scores on the detective's exam. Yes. yeah Which I guess is like a test that they must take in order to prove that they have the skills to make them a good detective.
00:38:23
Speaker
Yeah. And they do the detective reasoning and everything. Pass it in order to apply for detective jobs. And we find out that Lassie was... at least for a while, the highest score in the department with a 97.2, which is really quite impressive for any assessment, I think. That's a great score.
00:38:44
Speaker
But we later find out that Jules actually scored higher than him with a 98.4, which was like, yeah. And he didn't know because she made a Detective in Miami, so he wouldn't have seen the score. So that is kind of funny. I do love that moment, which are we...
00:39:04
Speaker
ah ahead now but like when yeah the way it comes up because oh yeah yeah he's like i have the best score in the department and then i think jules and mcnab are both like because buzz asks for like study tips yeah yeah yeah and they're they're like not saying it and he's like what who did somebody beat me a foot and then dick walks by and he's like asks her like if someone beat his score and she's like oh hara did like i love how it's such it seems like such open knowledge and yet just lassie doesn't know well bet everyone was keeping it from him everyone that's true if we tell him he's gonna freak yeah that's true how would he said checked those scores every three months i was like lassie you're obsessive dude like
00:39:52
Speaker
calm down it's okay that's so lassie though yeah and jules yeah this is a very um this scene is very quintessential like jules and lassie because lassie's egos hurt and then jules is like i didn't want it to become a problem your feelings were going to be hurt and i didn't want your feelings to be hurt we can both work together and be good cops and like don't worry yeah like but also stop like her being a little like no She feels good about herself, too. she should. Yeah. Like, she she has both within her.
00:40:24
Speaker
Yes. That, like, on a certain level, like, she really doesn't want it to affect their work, but also, like, she's chuffed. Yeah. I would be, too, if I scored better than though the head detective in the office. Yeah. And I guess that's something different about them is that she is content being chuffed just on a row. Like, she doesn't need him to know that she won. Yeah.
00:40:45
Speaker
But she knows she won. Yeah, no, he needs to be the best point blank period. Everybody needs to know. yeah Everyone needs to be sure. And to ensure that everyone knows, it now turns into a competition. Oh my gosh. and The most ridiculous.
00:40:58
Speaker
um my gosh, yeah. Too much. things Yeah. Every little thing, which i was like, oh, gosh, guys. Yeah. and I feel like he, again, because he needs to prove himself. He's like pulling her into this. It's like she's like doesn't she's only participating because he wants to. Yeah, absolutely. Like he's like, you know, calling her out.
00:41:20
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. you're going to prove that you're not a good detective if you don't do this thing and she's fine i must so yeah that's kind of our setup for that episode is that we're going to do stuff the boys are going to be doing stuff with mira and lassie and jules are going to be trying to figure out midst of a sibling rivalry we do we even know about their case yet Their case?
00:41:45
Speaker
Oh, no, not yet. It's kind of, it comes up in like a weird way a little bit. And like, even when he asked about it, I didn't realize it was a normal case. Like it was a case. I thought he was just asking a question.
00:41:56
Speaker
Yes. About codes. Maybe because they say so many. Yeah, they randomly throw something out about ah refrigeration truck at at at some point in the episode.
00:42:07
Speaker
And then, yeah, then we get to the I think he says, like, your refrigeration truck is a whatever. Yeah. And she says something and then she says something. So that's what it made me think it was, like, a question on the exam. Not, like, something they were actually working, but just, like...
00:42:25
Speaker
If this were to happen, what code would this be? Like that was... Yes. And I think maybe just because... they start yelling codes at each other. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it is, it sort of subtly becomes apparent that there is this other case going on.
00:42:41
Speaker
Yeah, as more and more things happen with it. Absolutely. So, rewinding again, back to. Jumping to the vineyard. Mira, yeah. Yeah, the vineyard, in which we did not mention, we're having a glass of wine as we discussed because this is one of our one most wine-centric episodes.
00:42:59
Speaker
Yes, there will be a couple more. But to date, probably our most wine-centric episode. Yeah, and Santa Barbara does have a thriving wine country culture, it makes sense. really any of them could be a wine-centric episode.
00:43:14
Speaker
Yeah, true. but This one takes place pretty much on a vineyard. Yes. And at first they think maybe Mira works there because she's had a thousand jobs.
00:43:25
Speaker
Yes. um But it turns out... Yes, turns out um it's her family's. Yeah. Which is pretty cool to own.
00:43:36
Speaker
And they own multiple. they own yeah This one, one in Napa, and one in Spain, which she's not allowed to go to because she's comfortable. I wonder if this... one like this background of like wealth is part of what allows her to be so chaotic like oh probably it seems like she can kind of just do whatever like even at the end of the episode she's going to go to Greenland yeah to rescue polar bears like she's just allowed to follow her whim yeah definitely and I do think that is definitely a privilege afforded to ah ah small group of people so that yeah certainly could be and her parents seem I mean really pretty they humor a lot of
00:44:17
Speaker
yeah it i mean they're skeptical of her taste in men just because she seems to have had some romances fall through yeah like us gosh guster but for the most part they seem pretty supportive yeah definitely I'm sure it's nice too to, as a parent, to be able to help your child doing something that they seem passionate about. I'm sure that's.
00:44:44
Speaker
And she has a lot of passion. Oh my gosh. Endless amounts. It seems like. Which is good for her. I wish I could be that energetic all the time.
00:44:56
Speaker
yeah we we get to the vineyard and as soon as Gus sees her she he is goo eyed oh my gosh like everything goes slow motion people see is her the surrounding area is blurry it's like this whole this whole big thing and I just love Sean and Gus are like see we get a shot of the two of them and Gus goes how's my breath turns to Sean is about to go and Sean puts his hand up in front of his face just like nope don't do it Sean is a great like straight man in this episode next to their like yeah um Gus especially being like very wrapped up in her and there's like these very like swelling romantic moments and then you just cut to Sean who's just like Which is kind of fun too because I feel like that's usually Gus. Gus is usually the one pulling back down to earth. true. I feel like we have seen that before too where it's like they do that for each other. like they will
00:45:53
Speaker
They bring each other down when they need to. Yes. um Yeah. It definitely makes for some laughs. Yeah.
00:46:04
Speaker
And we ah we find out that Mir is getting married. And that's why she needs Guster here to fill out some further paperwork because it seems like whatever they did at Mazatlan didn't transfer to the United States.
00:46:16
Speaker
so they have to do it here. And Gus is like, well, when's the wedding? She goes, tomorrow. And I'm like, wow, wait till the very last minute to get this signed. Like, I'm sure, I don't know the legal proceedings around weddings, but I'm sure, like, you can't sign another document until that document has, like, gone through this system. That's true. This...
00:46:36
Speaker
And maybe that speaks to Mace Rodin's, like, the theater of it. Because you're right. Like, it probably would take some time for a divorce to, like, take effect. I don't know how that works. But, like, you'd think you'd need, like, a notary. or and don't know.
00:46:54
Speaker
But it is. Assuming it's, like, a Friday and they're getting married tomorrow on a Saturday. Like, it is not happening and very tight. So maybe, like, yeah base and Jan are sort of just like, oh, well, we'll have him, you know, just like he'll sign this paperwork and then we can do it. And it's all fake anyway. So it doesn't really matter if it it works. But like for her, they're just telling her this is how it's going to go.
00:47:17
Speaker
Yes. That makes sense. I i buy that. I buy that. um yeah so gus is gonna do that gonna sign the paperwork and she invites him to the wedding which i was like do people do that Like that last minute. I feel like weddings are very like, you could speak to this more than I could, but I feel like weddings are very like carefully planned things. Like it's not often that you just be like, here are three more people showing up to the wedding. the day Yeah. I mean, maybe like at the level of wealth that they have and they're kind of throwing it themselves. Maybe it doesn't matter so much.
00:47:55
Speaker
Okay. Fair. Yeah.
00:47:58
Speaker
But yeah, usually that kind of stuff is like 10 days before you've got to finalize everything. It's like, oh my gosh. I mean, good for her. It's exciting. I mean, Henry literally just ah pops up. That is so funny.
00:48:11
Speaker
i really feel like they were just like, we haven't seen too much of Henry at this time. can we put him? Yeah. Yeah. But I love it because it's so like it works because it's so Sean to be like, oh, oh I missed lunch. We're going to lunch right now.
00:48:25
Speaker
it's a wedding. And then Henry's like, I can't go to a wedding. I'm not dressed. Oh my gosh. It's like, it's so cute. And they, I feel like the three of them all together, Sean looks great by the way. Yeah. Like they all look so dressed up and cute and Gus with his perfect shirt ties eyes combo. Yes, of course.
00:48:45
Speaker
ah Yeah. And I love him in this like light tan suit. So cute. Yeah. They look great on the beach. The wind. It's adorable. um very sweet and yeah henry is just like and so yeah and i love that he shows yeah that he shows up because they were supposed to have plans that is so quintessential sean just like yeah i blew up those plans so come with me to this new thing yeah absolutely like yeah and the sean's like yeah there'll be lunch they'll be dancing and and henry's like what crap
00:49:17
Speaker
And she's like, sure, maybe. but Oh, my God, it's so funny. And then they run into this woman. Oh, my gosh, this woman. The look that Henry gives her. And she's like, is he with you?
00:49:31
Speaker
And Sean's like, i I want him in a bet or something. Yeah, I just want him. Yeah.
00:49:38
Speaker
Oh my god. And then apparently that explains it all away. She's like, okay.
00:49:45
Speaker
So funny. And she totally lays it on thick. this moment Okay. I wrote this down like... If I were Gus, I would have been like, this is my wedding too. Like what?
00:49:57
Speaker
100%. Why is she doing that? I do not know. Is she confused? Maybe. Where is he supposed to sit? He's like the guest of honor at somebody else's wedding?
00:50:07
Speaker
Yeah. It doesn't make any sense. And the music starts like, is that in his head? adam It is kind of a weird moment where like, it certainly seems like they're expecting him to go stand up there.
00:50:18
Speaker
without a doubt yeah and so like when he gets all mad or no I guess we don't see that until later with the yawn doesn't exist thing but like what we do see is they're like yawn is missing and they're like yes wait i love right before that gus turns to sean he was like this is my wedding i gotta get out here he's like i can have you in mexico oh yeah two days we're just gonna dye your hair cut off your fingerprints and gus goes don't need my fingerprints they're so like serious yeah no question i don't need fingers yeah i don't need fingertips just let's go and then yana's missing they're all like yeah
00:50:58
Speaker
It's not your wedding.
00:51:01
Speaker
Yeah, that is a wild. ah Wild series of events. Wild sequence. Yeah. Totally. Yeah, very emotionally. Like, I can't even imagine. Yeah.
00:51:15
Speaker
Excuse me. Sorry. What Gus must be feeling. Like, okay, this crazy lady and just asked me to sign papers to get divorced. Now she's trying to marry me again. Yeah. missing I thought I was going to run away to Mexico.
00:51:28
Speaker
that Yeah. And it's there like um some part of him is probably like, why like wants to get stuffed up in all of it. And some other part of him who's been down this road before is like trying to hang on. So like, yeah, what a rollercoaster.
00:51:43
Speaker
Okay. can i can only imagine. my gosh. And then poor Mira, like she's having a, a total breakdown. Over this. And fair enough. I mean, she just thought she was going to get married. She got left at the altar. that's That's very sad. And we end up finding out that Jan hasn't been present for any of the festivities until now. Yeah, which, Ramira... I know.
00:52:06
Speaker
She's a romantic, I guess, but those are some red flags. Yes. and Which she does kind of say, like like, she... There were moments where she should have known, but she... He was just... All the parts of all the yeah people all the parts of all the different people yeah so just having a breakdown she's real upset and um sean and gus really on gus's part says that they're going to help her find yawn yeah which and we do know about gus too this just occurred to me what is it with you and women in jeopardy is that what sean says yes
00:52:46
Speaker
Which is like, this is totally that too, where he see like he's watching her and he's like, at her, she's so sad, I gotta go help. Ooh, I wonder and wonder where the founding, like the foundational thing for that is.
00:53:00
Speaker
Who hurt you, Guster? know what mean? Like, where'd that come from? I could see it being like... you know, he's never been, like, the coolest guy. He's never really been the romantic hero type figure in life. And so, like, when the opportunity presents itself to, like, be ah an actual hero and, like, you know, earn somebody's awe in a way, like, maybe that really appeals to him.
00:53:30
Speaker
That's fair. I could see that. Yeah, he does seem to be Yeah, i don't want to say like relegated, but yeah, sometimes it seems like he definitely feels more like a sidekick throughout his whole life. Yeah, totally. Yeah, he's a sidekick. He's a nerd.
00:53:44
Speaker
Yeah. He's in pharmaceuticals when he should have been in the Ivy Leagues Think Tank or whatever, all that stuff. So yeah, he's like never quite enough for anybody.
00:54:00
Speaker
Yeah. Except for Sean. Yeah. um
00:54:06
Speaker
yeah i could see him wanting to just like be be that for somebody like yeah save the day yeah it's kind of sweet even though it's been kind of toxic for him i the intentions are sweet yeah trying to help but we can sympathize with it yes certainly certainly So then we jump back, because this is a jumpy episode. We jump back to Lassie and Jules at the station.
00:54:33
Speaker
And um this is when we start seeing the rivalry begin. Lassie has come over to Jules' desk. He's finished all of his paperwork. He did it early. He's done a whole week's worth. And Jules is like, that's wonderful.
00:54:46
Speaker
Vic comes over and Jules has turned in all of her paperwork for an entire week. And they were great. They were great. And Vic has now asked her to translate some information into Spanish.
00:54:58
Speaker
And Lassie was like, well, that doesn't even matter. Like, no one in Santa Barbara really speaks Spanish. And she was like, well, you know, it was a prerequisite. Well, they share this look like that's not true but like we both know you're blowing smoke yeah again for his ego kind of a thing exactly but it's such a great moment where she just looks at him like yeah yeah okay and then i guess because it's like the only thing that he can get on her they walk over to the coffee pot she takes a sip of the coffee and she's like oh my god the coffee is so hot and he just takes a gulp of this burning hot coffee and she was like did you really just burn your mouth oh
00:55:40
Speaker
like what just what a man thing to do oh my gosh yeah i'm like tough yeah stronger than you i can drink the burning coffee like do you want to just stop it really not worth it yeah And then the whole code battle.
00:55:56
Speaker
Yes, with McNabb. Poor McNabb, just caught in the crossfire here. just the sweetest little apathom. He's just trying learn. I know. just wants to get ahead, that's it. He's having trouble with the detective exam. he's just studying. Yeah, studying. He's writing on his hand and they're just like spitting codes like, well, if it's this, it's this. And he's just like, and and then at the end, like, I'm gonna get a sheet paper. I love that one.
00:56:22
Speaker
I love that one. Because he's not like the two of you are ridiculous. like Yeah. He's just like I'm going to go warm. He really does look up to them avenue and he's like. Yeah.
00:56:33
Speaker
He's such a sweetheart. I love McNabb.
00:56:37
Speaker
And then again we jump back. goes Back and forth. Back and forth between the two. And Gus and Mira are now like sitting in a warm embrace. Yeah. Hands held with some wine.
00:56:50
Speaker
in front of this very romantic vineyard and Mira's like Gus she's like so sweet sweet Gus and they're like about to kiss and Sean's like oh yeah his head is like a chocolate covered honey dude
00:57:06
Speaker
It was just such a great moment. And Sean is in the middle of building a ah cork birdhouse. ah A birdhouse out of wine corks. Oh my gosh. And he's just like, no patience.
00:57:18
Speaker
None. yeah For this. None.
00:57:22
Speaker
yeah And I love like... Break to that tension. Yes, it's so good. And Gus like sends him away because because flirting with Mira and he's like go talk to the I think he sends him talk to people parents um and then Sean yells you know oh well Gus says I'll finish it Sean's like I'm not done with my house or I guess like I'll finish it and he's like you don't even know how to work with cork yeah which I don't think I've ever caught that line I didn't have working cork.
00:57:54
Speaker
As if also, like, he didn't have any, he's like, tools to be putting things together. No. And it is like, quite a construction. Like, he is very nice. He's at it for hours. Yes, he has, like, shingles on the roof with, like, pieces of paper. It's very nice. Which also implies, like, has he just been sitting there listening to them, like, be all sappy?
00:58:17
Speaker
bet he has. Yeah. and he's like all right wrap it up before he goes mira ends up pulling out some pictures of jan and her from the curse and sean's and ends up seeing a couple of different pictures of them from like at the beach and them like skiing and whatever whatever and we notice that he clocks a a cut i guess a shaving cut on his chin in each of the photos in the exact same spot we don't know what that means quite yet just know that some sketchy's going on with the pictures yeah this is a fun like ah sequence because we have that and then like gus sends him away and we just see him like making observations yes not relevant to anything really but he we're just seeing him like taking information
00:59:06
Speaker
Yeah. And it's cool. was gonna say, we really had that yet. I feel like usually we get a clue and it's like spat right out. Like what. Yeah. It means. Or how it connects in some way. that This felt a lot more like.
00:59:20
Speaker
we were able to figure it out on our own. Cause I, I think if you saw the scar, you know, the, the cut on the chin, you'd be like snowboarding and beach. That's weird. That wouldn't really happen.
00:59:32
Speaker
Um, and then you have time to mull it over and kind of figure out maybe, you know, yeah stage or something. Um, which is kind of fun to not have him, you know, we're also becoming detectives.
00:59:44
Speaker
he Yeah. We watched the show. Yeah. yeah i feel And we're also seeing stuff that like we don't even like know, like they paint on the like, there's really no conclusion we can draw or Sean can draw about that at all. But it's like, he's just, he's just seeing things because that's what he does. He just yeah sees everything and remembers.
01:00:04
Speaker
So then he goes down. Oh, he runs into her mom. Yes. Which is funny sequence. I feel she is also like super well cast. Like I wouldn't be surprised if they were related. Like the way their mouths move and like the way they talk. Like it is really very well cast.
01:00:20
Speaker
Which they always do a great job. yes they do yeah and she too like her the writing for her i think was great you could definitely see yeah mira where a mirror gets her spunkiness exactly yeah without a doubt she's very charming she's very yeah like flirty um yeah she's very funny And we end up finding out through Sean talking to her that the family has yet to meet Jan or Jan.
01:00:53
Speaker
And that, you know, Rub Sean is a little suspicious. why Why would that be? You're going to get married tomorrow. That or slash haven't gotten married yet, even though you're supposed to get married today, I guess, theoretically.
01:01:09
Speaker
um And as they're talking, Sean gets brought into a private wine room which i just love this i love this whole thing where he's given thirty thousand dollar bottle of spanish sherry and just continuously spits it back out into his drink he just does not like it disgusted he yeah cannot stand it which is is interesting now that i think about it it is kind of rare that we see them drinking on the show i I have thought the same. Yeah, we almost never do. Yeah, we see them eating a lot and eating a lot of junk food.
01:01:43
Speaker
But even like we've seen them go, maybe we haven't seen it yet like the but episode with the disease that's released.
01:01:54
Speaker
Yes, yes. And they like, oh wait, no, not that episode. Sorry. Let me go through the Rolodex of Psych episodes in my head. absolutely. They go to a bar in that episode, but the one I'm thinking of is Let's Get Hairy, where they go yes and talk to the, I think, and they order like, maybe in both of them, they order just like so like milk or like so oh yeah Shirley Temple. like They never order alcohol.
01:02:20
Speaker
Very rarely. I feel like the one time where maybe I could see them sitting at the table with alcohol is um the one with the baseball game and the oh singing.
01:02:35
Speaker
ah huh you know, in the police office, the the suspect comes into the restaurant and shoots at Buzz or Sean or whomever they shoot at, right? They're all sitting there with like beer after the game. Yeah. And I don't know if Sean and Gus have beer, but there's definitely beer at the...
01:02:52
Speaker
Yes. And at the table. But that's really the only time I can even. Yeah. Another one i'm thinking I was thinking of when you were saying that is the one with um the Gabbardine Hightail.
01:03:02
Speaker
go I don't know if they're drinking. Well, when they're out to dinner on their fancy dinner. But yeah, it's very rare. It is. It is quite rare. And that could just be because clearly Sean doesn't like That's true. Which I kind of love that. Like name there's like a childish I mean, not that it's childish not like alcohol.
01:03:22
Speaker
No. Totally cool to not like it. But it is like in terms of his palate. Yes. Like he is like even the way she says it, like that's a $30,000 bottle of Spanish sherry. Like she's like that is a very, very fancy like ah sophisticated palate would appreciate that like that's kind of the vibe oh without a doubt yeah um so yeah i love that he's very like he tries he tries to be like gonna drink this wine and then he's just like i don't care disgusting like i'm not trying to hide it anymore this gross just spits it out yeah he does try to choke it down again when the dad comes in and the
01:04:04
Speaker
Yeah. he He like sips it on accident, I think. and then he' like yeah Yeah. For effect, maybe to just be like. Yeah. yeah Yeah. But there are a few other great lines in there that I have to mention. yes So when Mira's mom leads him into the room and she's like, this is our private room where we keep our best swines or whatever. And he's like, I have a private room for my Hello Kitty shot glasses and animal sketch.
01:04:29
Speaker
I have many interests.
01:04:35
Speaker
It's so good. So weird. So weird. And just like the two best like ends of the spectrum. Yeah. but Animal scat. as It doesn't really faze her.
01:04:46
Speaker
yeah oh not at all. Not at all. Which I guess this is Mira's mom we're talking about. Yeah. Yeah. She's just like, right, cool. Interesting. And i also love when she's like, I like, oh, well, first, she like gets out the wine and like shoots it like, oh, my. He's like, yeah, I heard that's the best way to drink expensive wine or something.
01:05:14
Speaker
Skip the taste buds and right to the gullet. Right to the gullet. Yeah. Which is such a such great word choice. Yeah. And such great, like, of the things I just love about James Rodney Rodriguez is his delivery. Right to the gullet.
01:05:32
Speaker
Yeah. So good. feel. Right in there in the throat. Mm-hmm. And then she says, I like my men like like yeah wait no I like my wine like I like my men white and hairy.
01:05:48
Speaker
And Sean just gamely says, that doesn't make any sense. And Sean, of all people that say this, the man who just said that he keeps helping getting shot glasses and animals again.
01:06:05
Speaker
Oh, and that yeah and then Mira's dad comes in, and he's very skeptical. And Sean proves himself by knowing that they are planning to move all their wine to their Napa winery, put it on display.
01:06:21
Speaker
And I just love seeing Sean prove himself. agreed it's so agreed just makes me feel warm and fuzzy yes that's my boy well agreed agreed speaking of which i love how um we've spoken in the past about sean has this really great way of similarly to other detective shows or or other shows similar to something like this and especially because sean is like kind of a farce while also kind of being a truth right um he's gonna get things wrong in order to get things right but i love how in this episode him getting things wrong quote unquote proves him right in the end love that thought that was so great because it it is it's very much like well i don't know how what the spirits tell me makes sense yeah but now we see yeah how it all connects which i yeah love that that was so good
01:07:18
Speaker
Well, then I think we go back to the psych office. Oh, yes. right Yes. And yes. Oh, and this is when he, yeah, he comes out with his theory.
01:07:29
Speaker
Yes. To Gus, Sean is suspecting that Jan Englund doesn't x actually exist and that he thinks Mira made Jan up.
01:07:42
Speaker
yeah and he uses you know some medication that she takes as a rationale for that her feelings about gus as a rationale for that the fact that no one has fake pictures and right the fake pictures all that item on the end right yeah he literally his name doesn't exist oh i do love he's like know you're gonna mention this but what he says no you got it jeff a england he's an albino with a website dedicated to short circuit and gus is like you put us on the email list that's a given that's given such a great little aside yes totally again just feeding like just building on all of that like wonderful texture of of their friendship i love
01:08:20
Speaker
ah and and uh gus kind of buys into it i think sean can be very convincing and and he is using like legitimate evidence here to explain why jan doesn't exist and and again he is right oh yeah totally completely right yeah yeah but in saying all this spoiler yeah non-england does not exist as jan england in ah in a traditional sense correct of the of the names the figure does not exist yeah correct um The limit does not exist.
01:08:53
Speaker
But him as an individual, like a person, someone who represents Jan exists, but that name, that identity does not exist. Yeah. He is not Jan.
01:09:03
Speaker
Correct. Correct. me Exactly. So Gus is yeah incensed by this and he is so upset. Sean, she did all this to get me back. Yes. I made a note that the score Gus has this revelation is so good.
01:09:17
Speaker
Yes. Agreed. I love the music in this show. Yeah. i feel like we've maybe talked about this before. It's just like, so it's just so fitting and so unique to the show. Yeah. Which I just love. I think sometimes we, sometimes we forget about how important. Yeah.
01:09:33
Speaker
the music it does a lot of work it is yeah creating this world totally well have you seen those um i feel like people joke about it sometimes how like horror movies without the music are actually like really not scary at all oh no i don't think so yeah because it's just like people staring into space being like ah yeah well i mean think about like halloween which we watched for the iconic music in that yeah And it's a lot of just being still and slow and like staring at each other. So yeah, that makes sense.
01:10:08
Speaker
So again, we jump back to the police station. But this time everyone has begun to coalesce, begun to come together. And we have all of the the Sean and Gus players at the police station.
01:10:19
Speaker
So Sean can analyze the photos and come up with his deduction for the police in which he announces that Jan does not exist. But dun dun dun.
01:10:30
Speaker
Here comes Jan. At least the Jan face. The face of Jan. And how you explain him? So good.
01:10:41
Speaker
Always so good. You can always count on her for a great line. Very true. And it is. I mean, it is certainly... think the first time watching this, I probably would have been like... Yeah, like what?
01:10:53
Speaker
Because um yeah as Sean, it's like... right and as a viewer it's like he's our guy like we are with him we root for him without doubt we believe him and he seems right right it seems really believable what is the twist right what's going on and um mira gets really mad at the boys so clearly she's kind of like this was an actual real thing. Yeah, because they also in front of everybody like say like, you did this, you crazy person to get Gus back. Yeah, totally. Which is like humiliating.
01:11:24
Speaker
ah without a doubt. To like claim all that front of all these people. Yeah. And she ends up, you know, getting all mad at them and, like, pointing at them in their faces. And Gus turns around ah he's mad at Sean.
01:11:36
Speaker
You made me look like a fool in front of Mira. Just like, Gus, I thought we didn't like her. Like, thought we didn't want this. He, yeah, he's got... Got lot going on. Mixed feelings here. Yes.
01:11:49
Speaker
Yeah. but Very much. But Sean's not letting this perturb him. He realizes something sketchy is going on. Maybe he didn't get exactly right. I do love the moment where...
01:12:01
Speaker
um After like how do you explain him? And then Sean's like I'm gonna go to the vending machine. Yeah. I'm gonna get out of here. I'm gonna cut my losses and see you later.
01:12:15
Speaker
wait Totally. Totally. I mean, he yeah he knows. Something's up. Something's wrong. Totally. Totally. And um because he's so certain in his kind of hunch here, he ends up going to Mira's hotel room and is like, I know. And Gus is telling him not to do that. And Sean's like, for you, I won't.
01:12:35
Speaker
And then cut to him that Mira's hotel room. Which is very Sean. Very Sean. Yeah, I feel like how Sean shows his his trustworthiness his dedication to people is not in following exactly what they ask of him, if you know what mean.
01:12:54
Speaker
Yeah. Which I feel like that is, you know, you develop trust with someone by doing what you say you're going to do, theoretically. And Gus really should not trust Sean. No. Oh my gosh. Yeah. We have seen trust issues. Yeah. We've kind of gone into those, especially in the the trust episode.
01:13:12
Speaker
Yes. um So i feel like this is how this tracks. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like from Sean's perspective, though, he's like, I have to do this. Yeah. Like, this is how I gain his trust back is by proving that I was right.
01:13:26
Speaker
Mm hmm. Which is kind of wackadoodle logic. But it's so Sean. It's so very Sean. I'm going to make a note for our future astrological discussion.
01:13:37
Speaker
Yes. Absolutely. I will have to do some some thorough reading beforehand. um But Mira essentially admits that, yeah, something sketch was going on. She didn't doctor the photos.
01:13:49
Speaker
Jan doctored the photos because she's, you know, this very like intuitive kind of person. And they only had really known each other for a couple of weeks before they decided to get married. And she knew that her parents wouldn't approve. And Jan was like, well, let's make it look like we were together for longer. So i have a high speed printer.
01:14:06
Speaker
So I will print the photos. Yeah. and funny like he's on the super fast printer know okay very mira yeah very very mira and they end buying it right i mean yeah if you're not sean and not like super good at deducing things i guess you would buy it um and then we find out that yawn's on the golf course so we're gonna go i love of this so good so funny and golfing together is another this is a great episode for activities they're so sporty this episode yeah it's good for them they need physical exercise good for everyone yeah good for all of us it makes me want to go know go to the bag in cages yeah definitely give it a swing mm-hmm and i love that they're getting going gus is about to oh my
01:15:01
Speaker
He's doing again another parallel to the batting cages. He's doing his ridiculous windup. He's about to take this shot. And Gus, is it in that moment? Sean's like, you know what?
01:15:11
Speaker
Let's start on the back nine. sees Jan hidden that way. Yes. And then kind of again, they're like in on the back nine. He makes a putt.
01:15:25
Speaker
And then Sean like grabs it. Yeah. out Poor Gus. I know. Sean is like, yeah. He, and he's like not present really at all. He's just got his binoculars and Gus is like, what is with you?
01:15:39
Speaker
What are you doing this? And then he finally sees Jan. He's like, oh God. Got it. Darn. And Jan's meeting up with our our PI man. are not not very stealthy pi man and again they're not very stealthy here either yeah very clearly yelling at each other in like slightly the middle of the field and sean and gus are also not very stealthy no not at all i like sean's sort of behind a tree gus is not at all not at all and then a very like you know detective you kind of cliche
01:16:14
Speaker
act natural and then no one's anywhere near natural yeah yeah i love that gus has like the you know the club behind his his head you look like they're modeling yeah totally no doubt and this guy comes over comes over not like there's any problem with these poses just like hey guys like hey what are you doing what are you guys doing yeah Yeah.
01:16:39
Speaker
Well, I feel like it with between them, like there's definitely a sense that neither party trusts the other. it's like, yeah whatever. what are Why are you here?
01:16:51
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's just lay all of our cards bare. Yeah. yeah and So Jan kind of goes into how he was in another relationship. He was in a bad situation. He had to get out of it in order to, you know, be with Mira. He loves her.
01:17:09
Speaker
Mace, he hired the, he hired
Memorable Lines and Detective Rivalries
01:17:12
Speaker
Mace to find them. He just was mad about money. So that was all kind of separate from what he's talking about. um And then he leaves and Gus is like, he's telling the truth.
01:17:23
Speaker
I've seen it. I've been there. Mm-hmm. says He's telling the truth and Sean says, yeah, but he's definitely lying. Yeah. Which is such a memorable delivery. Yeah. when i love I love that line too because it it's like the perfect culmination of everything that we've been talking about with like the gray area. Yeah.
01:17:42
Speaker
and we yeah It could be like a thesis statement. Yeah, definitely. the show. Yeah, like these two things can... be the same at once like yeah can be in love with me as someone who has occasionally dealt with half truths yes half truths yeah yeah yeah it it makes a lot of it makes a lot of sense for the show for sean to understand this so well for gus to understand this so well yeah and i also think it's kind of
01:18:15
Speaker
you know, there's something about Mira. There's something very endearing about the fact that this man was going to like really quite a big con and then actually fell in love with her. Like, what is it about Mira? I know.
01:18:27
Speaker
It's really kind of a bummer like how it all turns out. Yeah. Poor Mira. know. Yeah, so then go back to the police station and lassie and Jules still in their sibling rivalry.
01:18:44
Speaker
so ridiculous. And they're gonna, they think they can out interrogate each other with their witness for the refrigerator truck stealing.
01:18:56
Speaker
Did we miss the part where Lassie said like, okay, we're both gonna investigate this. To prove who's the better detective. Whoever figures it out wins. Yeah, essentially. And there's that moment where Jules is like, it's refrigerator truck. It's practically a victimless crime. Yeah, yeah.
01:19:14
Speaker
As we've been lied to. Yeah, and poor McNabb. I feel like he can never quite get on the same level as these guys. He's like, like Lassie's like, McNabb, we're commandeering your watch. And he's like, you're commandeering my watch. He's like, joking with them. And Lassie's like, watch.
01:19:32
Speaker
give it to me right now serious it's so funny and mcnav's got to be like of course he's gotta he's gotta give it over it's being commandeered so they essentially decide that they're gonna do ah speed interrogation not speed dating speed interrogation yes 30 seconds a piece timing each other to see who can get the confession out this guy ridiculous and we're so funny oh my god I love um just their different techniques. They're so funny.
01:20:02
Speaker
And like all the build up. but It's Lassie, right? Who goes first and he's like so slow and methodical and he's like about to start talking and Jules runs and is like, time!
01:20:15
Speaker
He's like, you started! And she's like, your rules.
01:20:19
Speaker
It's absurd. It is. Yeah, it's it's so great. But we do end up learning some important information on the process. Yes. Which is that rusty Lassie's informant, who I guess runs a auto body shop where people often bring stolen merchandise, doesn't know anything about a refrigeration truck being stolen.
01:20:40
Speaker
And his guess is either someone who steals a car wants to sell it or wants to use it. So if they haven't sold it to him, they're probably using it for something.
01:20:52
Speaker
That is quite astute. Yeah, definitely. I mean, I guess, you know, if you're in the you're in the criminal game game long enough, you start to see the patterns, you know?
01:21:04
Speaker
So Rusty's got to really be in it. Yeah. I also love Jules. Her technique is... you know kind. yes She's buddying up with him. She gets him a snack and in that we see the recurrence of a Clark bar which I thought was fun.
01:21:21
Speaker
Yes! Oh my gosh, you're right. that is so funny. yeah they do they They occasionally just pick something to run with yeah in the last season season eight it's snyder's of hanover pretzels oh my gosh like the entire season maybe they had a ah sponsorship i don't know but it's just like could but it's so like it's something so random that i'm like so is it but like it doesn't feel like that would be product placement for a far part i don't know I know. But yeah, I love beats like that. And then I do feel like product placement works in a show like this because they
Humor and Product Placement
01:21:58
Speaker
do it.
01:21:58
Speaker
They just do it well. And I feel like that is a skill, little tangent about television. But like, I like that TV has all of these like constraints because when you do it well, it's just like so impressive.
01:22:17
Speaker
feel like it's very rare in the show that something feels inauthentic even the product placement like the the ridiculousness of constantly placing snyder's of hanover in the last season feels so genuine yeah it's like they commit to everything so nothing feels correct like out of place yeah yeah i feel like it's something really special like not every show could get away with that yeah totally So they then in the midst of ah interrogating this guy, get called away but Chief Vic on a very urgent matter where, again, our worlds collide because Lassie and Jules are now at the hotel where Mira and Jan are staying.
01:23:02
Speaker
And Jan is dead. dun, dun. Dun, dun. Mm-hmm. But we don't really know why. Yeah. And they call Sean and Gus in and lead them there. And Sean's like, I knew it.
01:23:18
Speaker
And like just off, like announcing to everybody, like, you're going to tell us what's going on. They see him there. And he's like, whatever you're ready, Jan. And, um, it's such a great, like example of how this is like a tragic moment. We have seen like the sincerity from this man. We have talked to him. We know his fiance. Like it's really quite sad. And, but you really don't feel any of that in this moment because they are so skilled at like undercutting it with humor yeah it's true um so yeah you're right if this were a different tv you said this with mira before if this were a different tv show this would hit very differently yeah like if you really stop to think it's like so sad yeah devastating yeah really yeah i mean sometimes we have to remind ourselves like santa barbara is the murder capital of the world like these are people dying in this show but it doesn't it feels so fun it does
01:24:20
Speaker
And they're, you know, kind of confused about this
Sean's Detective Skills and Backstory
01:24:24
Speaker
occurrence. hu So to to work out their confusion, i loved this. Sean and Gus were back at the office. We're like,
01:24:32
Speaker
let's do a loop. And they just start chasing each other up and down the office. we've never seen before. i don't know that we ever see it again. It's so good. and They both know what it is. Let's do a loop.
01:24:45
Speaker
As if they've done this since they were like children and this is just normal thinking behavior. Yeah, so funny. And I mean, it seems to, it seems to kind of do the trick it seems to help them kind of work through what's going on here yeah and sean starts to you know kind of kind of put it all together he remembers the the cling wrap from the cigarettes that mace was using and he saw that on the floor nearby yon so mace had to have been there which also seems like you know
01:25:21
Speaker
mace you're sloppy dude like we've yeah well these are con men they're not murderers that's true sloppy sloppy so we know so we know mace has something to do with it and um we get another one of kylie's favorite bits and we end up going back to the station and sean walks in on vick and uh jules and lassie discussing and he's trying to tell them what's going on he was right about the whole thing and Vic goes take a step back Mr. Spencer and Sean just takes a full step back it's so good and then Vic's face is like she's looking him i'm like yeah like i just love that she has a moment with it and they don't address it but she's just like
01:26:06
Speaker
Okay, weirdo. Beautiful act. She is just, I love her. yeah I know, even when, like, because this is an episode where Pic doesn't have much going on. She's just sort of there to, like, move things along for other people.
01:26:18
Speaker
Yeah. But she, she just, you know, steals every moment. She always does great. She's beautiful. So good. um ah Yeah, so Sean went there and meanwhile Gus went to go Mira? Yes. Yes.
01:26:34
Speaker
yes yep and so we see him oh no he's just telling her that they're like what the plan is that somebody's gonna come steal the wine oh yeah he called her they meet there they go to look at the cellar and they're like okay well some oh no they hear a sound okay sorry it's all coming back to me here yes totally they're out there they hear a sound and she's like Well, there's nobody. the My parents are out of town and the winery's closed.
01:27:05
Speaker
Yes! They run over there into the cellar and Gus is like, somebody's definitely been here. And then a gun enters the frame. Scary, scary stuff.
01:27:18
Speaker
Definitely. One, I feel like, too, it's very rare that we see weapons outside of like Jules and Lassie and and the cops and especially weapon trained on Gus. Oh, yeah. ah You know, what is come going on?
01:27:32
Speaker
Yeah, but it is interesting because like, I don't know if it's just because I've seen it so many times, but it doesn't feel... It doesn't have the weight that say like Gus walks into a bank does.
01:27:45
Speaker
Yes. Or Sean takes a shot in the dark where like you feel like it's so – and I feel like part of it is the way Sean is acting about it. Yeah. um Not that he's not taking it seriously. and And I mentioned earlier like I love the energy of the nutshell because you feel like he's starting to panic. Like he's like we've got to save Gus. Yeah.
01:28:03
Speaker
yeah But it doesn't have like the drama in the same way that those other episodes, like life or death episodes have. Yeah. um Which, yeah, it's just kind of interesting. So I felt like I'm like, oh, it's scary.
01:28:16
Speaker
But it's also like, I'm fine. Yeah. I wonder if part of that is like a subconscious viewing of the episode as These guys are kind of nincompoops at their job. Yeah.
01:28:32
Speaker
Like we know that they're not really effective like in in the way that they're supposed to be effective. And now one of the two guys is dead. So we've got one bad guy. That's true.
01:28:43
Speaker
Who like wants to do this bad thing but probably is not gonna be able to do it because it's him by himself. The plan's untethered itself. So what's really going to happen? There's two against one. like It does kind of feel like the odds are more against the bad guy than they are necessarily against Gus.
01:29:00
Speaker
So maybe that's part of part of it too. um But I would agree with you. I feel like there are other episodes where it feels really... Yeah, like we we might not make it out of here alive.
01:29:11
Speaker
Yeah. Well, there's like... This is kind of a fleeting. Yeah. And I mean, Gus walks into a bank in particular. There's that moment where... got Sean's just out in the parking lot and then all the sirens like all everybody shows up and Sean realizes what's happening and he like tries to go in there and then there's that very dramatic line reading of like Gus is in there.
01:29:33
Speaker
Yeah. And it's like so intense. Yeah. And I feel like they don't really take it there in this episode. Yes. Yes. And I mean, that's also like the cold of it. You know, we're at the finale. We're at the end of it.
01:29:48
Speaker
So that's really, maybe that's also part of it. It's like, okay, this isn't a episode long problem. This is like a conclusion. yeah, yeah. yeah That's true. So in the in the process of of all that happening, and we know something no bueno is happening with Guster.
01:30:07
Speaker
We yeah start to get the nutshelling. of sean but this is only after sean has found out that last name jules have been arguing over the detective's exam oh yeah sorry i skipped right over that huh entire day no it's okay i got you and sean is like oh that you guys are arguing over the detective's exam they're like yeah goes i took that at 15 and got like a perfect score like he's so cute about it though he's so like like oh Oh, I got 100. Yeah.
01:30:37
Speaker
yeah Like, he's just so casual. Like, oh, yeah, that thing. The old DET or whatever. Yes. yeah, yeah. And they're like, well, i but I bet it's changed a lot since then. yeah and I love Vic's smile when he says that. with like Because it seems like she knew that. Oh, I bet Henry told her. Yeah. I mean, she probably access to all of the... Oh, true. That's fair. I wonder if Lassie wouldn't know because he doesn't work there now. Good call. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, just...
01:31:05
Speaker
is looking at yeah because he said in the department right he did yeah um whereas she and she probably when he first came around maybe looked into him and saw that well remember she um she did end up talking to henry yeah about like when did he get the gift and a all these other things i bet she looked you know yeah she did her research yeah i'm sure but i feel like her little smile was like also like she's proud of him too and like I don't know. She likes keeping them all in their place. like Totally. She's entertained by this.
01:31:42
Speaker
Without a doubt. I just also love the idea of like 15-year-old Sean sitting with a bunch of like i know. Tenured police officers taking this detective's exam.
01:31:54
Speaker
So funny. I wonder how that came about. Like, did Henry make him? I'm sure. i bet there was a time where Henry was like... All right. All of our lessons, all of our training has culminated in this point.
01:32:08
Speaker
You need to take the detective exam. A hundred is the only thing I will accept. Let's go.
01:32:17
Speaker
but go to it And I'm sure I could see Sean too being like, problem. Yeah. Like the silly little goose that he is. yeah Oh my gosh. Do you think that's why she calls him goose?
01:32:29
Speaker
Oh, because he's a silly silly goose. oh Oh, yes. I hope so. That's how I'm going to leave and i'm gonna think. Oh my gosh. but yeah Then we get then we get our um our nutshelling from Sean saying that you know this whole thing was just a long con on
Con Plot and Humorous Ending
01:32:48
Speaker
Mira. And it was Jan and Mace. They were working together. Mace was the relationship that Jan was trying to get out of.
01:32:55
Speaker
And what they were going to try and do was get Jan to marry Mira so that her dad would clear out the winery of the staff and then they would be able to leave her at the altar and both go to the winery with the stolen refrigerator truck and pack it up with wine and skeedaddle.
01:33:14
Speaker
So he was telling the truth and lying at the same time. no i love when Sean's like, I forget how he phrased it. Something about like being kind of right. And he's like, no, I was totally right.
01:33:27
Speaker
Totally right. I loved the part too where he's like, somebody give me a gun. Yeah. get He goes, then drive faster. My best friend's in there. I know. That was like the closest we got to that. Like, yeah, that's Gus is in there. Like the drama of it. And I do like how we, he kind of builds to it. Like he's like, yes, he's sort of like, okay, I'll explain all this to you.
01:33:52
Speaker
And like, um, Builds to this like sort of anxious, more panicky energy as they get get closer.
01:34:04
Speaker
I do love that nutshelling. It's yeah, it's it's good. And then we also kind of get like another mini nutshelling when we get there. ah like yeah. Which is kind of fun. we We walk into the...
01:34:16
Speaker
the wine cellar and Gus and Mira are on the ground and Mace is also on on the ground like semi unconscious and John walks and they're like oh my gosh like what has happened here and John's like I know I know exactly what happened and it's like a fake nut jelly love how he immediately knows Gus has made a fool of himself absolutely won't let that come out no we gotta like make it sound kind of heroic and I love Mira at the end being like wait what like i don't yeah like that's not how i remember it happens but she just goes with it because whatever she's a little out of it because gus knocked her out as he was trying to escape yeah but so good so very gus well i do love last he's very impressed because sean says he like oh yeah yeah he sees the the bad guy and he
01:35:11
Speaker
remembers Mira's party trick of blowing fire and he yeah so he does that has her do that to set off the sprinklers and then disarms the guys and like all all this and Lassie's like very impressive and Jules is like yeah very quick thinking like they they look very skeptical exactly okay they're not like gus really tell us what happened yeah they're all right move on yeah yeah and then we we go back to the office and sean of course has to get one over on guster can't leave this whole episode without getting one over so sean presents him after discussing with mira
01:35:52
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Mira comes. They find out, you know, oh, she has a lot of plans for her and Gus. Lots, which Gus does not want to be involved in. Yeah, Gus is earnestly trying not to get caught up in that again. But I do i do love when Mira's like, you guys do amazing work.
01:36:07
Speaker
Yes. They really are gaining like a lot of advocates. Yeah, it's true. As they go throughout this. I mean, the results speak for themselves. It's true. They do. They do a good job. honestly So Amir leaves and and Sean presents Gus with a photo of him skydiving.
01:36:26
Speaker
to get married with a rabbi and his wife and he's like I got married too me this is photoshopped it feels very it's kind of the rabbi and feels very like 2008 for there to be yeah even like a question that those could be real yeah oh no I thought the same thing ridiculous like their heads are huge yeah yeah and there's like totally different lighting Gus hasn't seen a lot of photoshop I guess No, that's fair.
01:36:58
Speaker
Yeah, that's the episode. A good one. really fun one, especially for it to be like a Gus kind dramatic episode. It was so really fun.
01:37:09
Speaker
Yeah, we get to see so much of him and and this backstory that is very revealing. Yeah. yeah Because it's sort of unexpected. you know it's I mean, it blindsides Sean, too.
01:37:20
Speaker
yeah Our next episode is The Old and the Restless, which is also fun one in the retirement home. Talmadge McGooliger. Talmadge McGooliger.
01:37:33
Speaker
i And this is a great one because we just had like two Gus-centered episodes. This is not like a Henry backstory episode, but it's definitely a Henry episode. We get so much Henry in this. Oh my gosh. So excited for it.
01:37:48
