Introduction and Episode Overview
00:00:21
Speaker
All right. Hi, everybody. And welcome to the Psych 6 101, where we discuss everything about the world of Psych and the antics of Shawn and Gus in sunny Santa Barbara. I'm Skylar, and this is my partner, Klaus Del Vecchio. And today we'll be talking about season two, episode nine of the famed TV show, Psych.
00:00:39
Speaker
Bounty hunters! Bounty hunters! Exclamation point.
00:00:46
Speaker
I think that is the energy that the title has. Yes. Bounty hunters! Yeah, absolutely. I'm so excited. Well, I feel like you get that from the flashback immediately. The big bounty hunter gets out of the car, the boys are sitting, little baby boys outside the police station, and they're all just like,
00:01:03
Speaker
ah like a nammer. We get like slow mo as they're eating their ice cream. yeah Yeah, you could just tell they're like, whoa, so cool. And, you know, he definitely looks like a, you know, a bounty hunter. yeah You know, long hair, leather vest. Very important, that love leather vest. Leather vest, you know, some form of braceleted attire. Mm hmm.
00:01:33
Speaker
Boots. And he's a wrangle in a perp. Yeah. Into the station. Yeah. It is kind of an interesting flashback. Cause like, I don't, something that strikes me was that Sean thinks he is a cop. So yeah it's interesting. Yeah. Like that Sean would even like that. He's at an age where he thinks that cool person is a cop. Um, yeah. And then Henry is like, no.
00:02:00
Speaker
Yeah. He says, he says a whole thing. I wrote it down. Do you want me to read it? Oh, go for it. Yeah. He said, um, he's a nuisance, a privately hired half criminal operating outside the law, which I thought was hysterical because it was that not Sean.
00:02:15
Speaker
Well, I did catch him one, like the part where he was like, if you were ever lay, if you're going to arrest somebody somebody do with the right kind of badge, yeah which I was like, Oh, that's kind of funny, but also Sean doesn't arrest anybody.
00:02:29
Speaker
True. That's true. He just brings them to the arresting stage. Yeah. but Yeah. that That is so interesting that he thought Bird was a cop at that point. I mean, I guess that maybe cues us in a little bit to maybe not not respect, but that maybe admiration he has for like Henry and the job and and everything. Yeah. I think he is not disillusioned.
00:02:59
Speaker
to the point yet where he like where we see now where he has a lot less respect for it yeah now as in the present day in the the show. yeah two thousand and seven yeah yeah um Or even just like when he's a a bit older, like in high school stuff.
Shawn's Quest for Justice
00:03:18
Speaker
Yeah. Another one I thought was interesting that Henry said is he's not about justice. He's about the money. It's like intrigue. Yeah. Yeah. There's really so much here about like values and stuff because, well, Sean has many things in present day of the show and he like operates outside the law, but he's also definitely in it for the justice.
00:03:43
Speaker
Absolutely. He's in it for the truth. Yes. Yeah, he's he's definitely in it. I think we can say for quote unquote, the right reasons. Yeah. You know what I mean? like There are many reasons that could be the right reason. There are also many reasons that could be the wrong reason, um but he's not doing it just for the sake of getting paid.
00:04:06
Speaker
In the way. Yeah, I mean there's definitely there is nuance because I feel like he also is in it Which is a big part of what he loves so much about this guy who is like he think like it's cool ah for and he likes to look cool and So like he's got that there's vanity to it. Yes, but it's not like It's not just that. Mm-hmm and he really does like he well, I mean this ah this case that we have in this episode is actually a great example of like he really like is sympathetic to a person who the system has written off. yeah and And like immediately, like as soon as he starts like, which again, I was thinking about the witchiness because it's like intuitively he is like, as soon as Tancana starts talking about things, you see Sean like,
00:04:59
Speaker
Yep. The gears. Yeah. It's like, ah it's like immediate. yeah He doesn't have like any information before he's already like thinking, like, like giving credence to this person. So yeah, that was interesting. Um, but yeah, he this episode has really given this guy a chance. No. Yeah. And he seems, yeah, like, like many things, he jumps on board pretty quickly to this. I don't even know if you could say it's a theory because he doesn't even really have.
00:05:31
Speaker
much of a semblance of an idea of what's going on. He just knows that something's kind of up. Yeah. And then he follows through with all of the possible outcomes to try and help this guy. Yeah, that's true. I guess that is a big part of what Sean, what drives Sean. He doesn't have to know like necessarily what might be true or like what what he's going to find, but just the fact that there he senses or feels that there's more to the story. That's enough for him to like want to figure out what that story is. Yes. Yeah. I love, this is kind of weird. Follow me for a second. I kind of love the fact that Sean just like he goes with stuff, but he's so like unafraid of failing. And I don't know if that's just because he's been
00:06:26
Speaker
kind of charmed, as we've discussed many times before, where a lot of the times in failing, he actually ends up succeeding. But I think that is just such a beautiful parallel to life. like We yeah so often are so worried and and so concerned about failing or looking silly or looking like a fool that we don't actually end up doing the things that maybe we want to do or we should do to you know find a good outcome. And Sean just falls into it head first.
00:06:52
Speaker
fails miraculously in the process sometimes. And so, you know, coming out a winner. Yeah. Well, I wonder if, because like when you were about to say, or about to speculate why this might be the case, like when I was thinking like he kind of is a failure. Yeah. it In a lot of ways. yeah that He's like has the freedom of already being a failure in the act. I'm doing air quotes in the eyes of his father or society or whatever, o um which allows him to just kind of like not care about that because it's already true. Right. Well, I feel like this kind of comes back to what we were talking about a little bit before we started recording, but this idea of like
00:07:41
Speaker
social constructs, like is failure sure what is What I'm sure if you asked Sean, he would consider himself very successful. He spends his entire life doing things that make him happy with his best friend. They have so much fun every day and hey, they happen to make money out of it too. like Why would he consider that not to be a success, but then if you look at it in the eyes of somebody else, like maybe Lasseter,
00:08:08
Speaker
Last I would say that Sean's a total failure. Like can't yeah hold down a job, like can solve a case, but like is a nuisance in the process. Like who knows what Henry would say? Like Henry would probably put him
The Crime Case: Dwayne Tancana
00:08:21
Speaker
somewhere in the middle. Like, you know, he's a success in that he's solving these things. Exactly. He's a failure in that he's not actually a cop. Like, you know, it's a, it's a nuanced as anything is in life. Our ideal of what that is or our definition of what that is, is so changeable based on the the person or the, you know, the day. Yeah. Well, I feel like what is so beautiful about like what Sean, how Sean lives is that like, by kind of freeing himself from the
00:08:56
Speaker
the definitions of failure that everybody else has, he can or of success that everybody else has. He gets to define success for himself, which as you said, he is living a very successful life on his own terms, yeah which certainly not everybody can say.
00:09:10
Speaker
It's very true. Very, very true. But argue is the reason ball so many people have midlife crises. Yeah. Yeah. Totally a lesson for us all. As so much of psych is. Yeah, which kind of comes back to like the whole, like what you talk about often with the, like getting to be in the middle ground of like childness and like adultness. It's like they get to a point where they can kind of function in society, but they're also living.
00:09:41
Speaker
And very like they're having fun and they are, they are successful in ah the way that they've defined it. So yeah. And it's fun to see them meet this figure who, Oh my gosh. Yeah. From as children look so cool. And like, and he, this guy is cool.
00:10:04
Speaker
because he is outside the lines kind of, which they want to, Shawn and Gus kind of want to be maybe. I mean, I guess we all kind of yearn for that, like just to have that, like, I don't know.
00:10:17
Speaker
to be cool, which is like kind of counterculture and stuff like that, especially when you're young. and so like And then to meet this figure and be so disappointed, yeah and which I feel like also is kind of freeing in a way because it's like they don't necessarily want to be him either. yeah Like they shouldn't. yeah when i wonder I wonder how that interaction would have gone with younger Shawn and Gus because I do think a lot of that comes from the wisdom of time, if you know what I mean? like I think the fact that now they're so much older and they've had all these different jobs and they're doing this very niche business like yeah that really works for them. like Seeing the bounty hunter, seeing bird in this case and
00:11:08
Speaker
Essentially saying like, Oh yeah, we've got a good thing going for us. We don't want to be just like that. That's true. I think as their younger selves, they would have been like, still that's so cool. like You know? Yeah. Or would they have? I don't know, but it would have been interesting to see. Yeah. Well, it is probably, I mean, a lot more impressionable age. Oh, totally. Yeah. when they and like young Yeah. and And not having all that experience where they have defined like what makes them feel like they're their lives are worth living. Yeah. um Yeah. So maybe, maybe he would have been a little more enamored, even if they talked to Bird, because obviously from afar they're very much having with him. Yeah, Sean even superimposes himself in Bird's position at one point. Oh yeah, that is so cute. So cute. Yeah, little being Sean.
00:12:04
Speaker
wrangling a purse. All right, so to frame up the case a little bit of what we have in front of us today, we have Dwayne Tancana, who was charged with murder of a lady named, I think I wrote her name down somewhere. Oh, no, I didn't, but her ah husband's name is Lumen Cole and coal and he his wild names in this yeah i know right they are kind of crazy um his wife was murdered during a robbery and Dwayne Tancana was charged with her murder and while he was being brought
00:12:46
Speaker
to get arraigned, he actually escaped. What happened was he headbutted Jules and Jules fell to the ground. He has a wicked headbutt, as we see later in the episode. yeah And in the process of Jules falling and trying to get back up, he manages to escape the police station and just kind of get out in the world. So now we are looking for Tancana, who is on the run. And part of the
00:13:15
Speaker
And part of the kind of like, not crux of this episode, but I think one of the things that is causing maybe so much tension surrounding this is that Vic isn't here. And Lassie is actually technically in charge. So Lassie's putting a lot of extra weight on the fact that It's not really Jules' fault, but it's kind of Jules' fault that Tankiana got away. So he relegates Jules to staying in the police station and says he's going to do all the field work himself.
00:13:46
Speaker
Yeah. And he tries. I feel like the way Lassie handles that, like you can tell that yeah he does care about Jules by this point. Cause like if it were somebody else, he probably would have been much harsher, but he is yeah quite gentle about Ben Chinker. Yeah. I mean, I feel like he really.
00:14:08
Speaker
pulls the blow, if you know what I mean. like he He doesn't say straight up to her, it's your fault and you're not going. He's like, yeah well, you know, actually I need him. He really tries to soften. yes and the yeah yeah yeah but difficult position because oh absolutely and and Jules obviously feels awful awful oh my gosh her little yeah explanation of what happened oh yeah you can tell that she was just torn up about it yeah well and they have the victim's husband running around in the station he's the one who hired the bounty hunter so that
00:14:50
Speaker
Which I didn't realize that that was how bounty hunter, bounty huntering, how that worked. Yeah. I mean, I guess there is a moment like when Shawn and Gus come on the scene, they're like, well, if we get him, do we get the bounty? So like maybe it's just that he set a bounty. Oh, and this guy just kind of showed up. Or, and maybe he like told this guy or like sought him out in some way, but ultimately he just has a bounty. Okay. the bow Okay. That makes more sense.
00:15:20
Speaker
I was like, what? There were bounty hunters for hire, but I suppose. Yeah. You like brought them in. Yeah. Um, so yes so oh sorry yeah. Where were you going to go? I was just going to frame it a little more. Go ahead.
00:15:37
Speaker
So the victim's husband calls in Bird to be the bounty hunter to try and find Tancana because we have no idea where he went. And as Lassie is kind of explaining to Jules how she needs to stay behind, she essentially convinces him, or not convinces him. um She gets- I love that moment. Yeah, it's so good. She gets the boys involved, essentially. She's like, do you have every available asset? Well, it's such a great lead into that moment. like I feel like this is the first time we've kind of had this like energy where it's like we're against the clock.
00:16:14
Speaker
Yeah, kind of it feels like a serial killer episode, yeah like very much like hostage situation, you know, there's just that tension where like, everybody's kind of running around behind them. Yeah. And, and that's what was he's like, I've got, like,
00:16:29
Speaker
every adds a manpower on this and and that's when Jill is like, everyone, you've got everyone. And she got her phone out, like she's gonna call Sean. I think it's so cute that she's like, they if you're gonna have everybody on the team, they're on the team. And the fact that Lasseter kind of lets it happen in a way. I love when he takes the phone from her and is just like, hi Sean.
00:17:01
Speaker
yeah it's ah So it's definitely a fun setup to get them involved. It makes sense that Jules would want them involved because it's as, I mean, she kind of goes to them a lot. Like she, I think she trusts them. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. and We can talk about maybe why that is at the end of
Deductions and Pursuits
00:17:24
Speaker
the episode. I know. i know yeah She definitely trusts them. And part of that is probably just they've worked together so much now. like She knows how they work. She knows that they really do have the best interests of the department at heart and like the truth at heart. And we know that truth is so important to Joel's truth and honesty. So important.
00:17:43
Speaker
So the boys come in but and probably one of my favorite little bits from the episode is they they see bird and they're like oh dude like it's him they're like so excited and they go over to Lassie and Oh, Sean like looks at some of the some of the ah evidence and notices like the imprint on the victim's neck from the murder and he's talking to Lassie and and Lassie's like, let's just be very clear. Cops are up here. Bounty hunters are down here in psychics.
00:18:16
Speaker
are here, slightly above bounty hunters. And they're like, dude, we're above bounty hunters. So By a knuckle. By a knuckle. Yeah, it's just so good. Yeah, glassy definitely has the same like disdain that Henry has. Yes, absolutely. And I'm, you know, I, I get it. When, especially when we think about how Henry described it, like these people who work outside of the law,
00:18:43
Speaker
You know, they have to do so many things by the book to ensure that someone's actually going to get tried for their crimes. I'm sure it can be very frustrating to be like, here's this random dude who comes in, doesn't have to listen to anyone or anything, and then gets paid massive sums of money for it. Like what? You know, I'm sure that's very frustrating. But yeah, Lassie does not like, does not like them. And then we go and talk to Cole, Lumen Cole.
00:19:12
Speaker
Man, some really, yeah, you're right, these names are. They're just so specific. Gourd, Dwayne, Dwayne. Moomin. Moomin, yeah. I do like Dwayne. Dwayne Tancana. Yeah, no. I mean, nothing native about the names. There's just some specific names. It's not just like John. And the actor that plays Tancana?
00:19:35
Speaker
He's just so amazing. excellent I made the same note, like another great performance. Just so good. The minute he's like finally in the episode, I'm like, this guy is just so fantastic. like yeah he You know, I feel like it can be really difficult, I'm sure, playing against the characters of Shawn and Gus. Like, the two of them together are so dynamic, the two of them separately are so dynamic, but Tancana comes in eventually into the car. And he's like right there with them in his own little way. Like, yeah, so great. Yeah, totally. So great. Yeah. And they, like, they immediately feel kind of like a unit, like a team as they move through this. And it's also an interesting character, which we talked about a lot. Like, a lot of these little characters are
00:20:20
Speaker
just like super interesting. Like I love the moment in the car where, where he says he didn't murder a wife and Gus is like, do you just rob him? And he's like, yeah, that's what I do. i'm a Yeah. like i love like My other thing, there was one in the car that I just, I literally almost started crying. I was laughing so hard and it was like a throwaway line. Like didn't even, didn't even matter.
00:20:46
Speaker
that they're on the phone, and ah it's Jules and Shawn, and she goes, Shawn, let us send some black and whites. And Shawn was like, you want a cookie? And Tancana goes, I can't eat wheat or yeast.
00:21:01
Speaker
Just like, what? What's happening? Well, it's such a great moment because it's such an absurd question. And then Tancana is completely serious in his response.
00:21:13
Speaker
like Also, I feel like Tancana is gluten-free way before it was cool. Oh, absolutely. Good fan. Yeah, totally. He's got to watch his heart, you know? Mm-hmm. That thing's important.
00:21:26
Speaker
So we kind of jumped forward a bunch. We did. Get back quickly. We're with Lumen. We're with Lumen and we find out about his quote, amazing hair, end quote. Yeah. That's like a funny thing in this episode yeah as it often is, Sean. That's like one of Sean's special skills. It's like yeah hair yeah and your products and yeah great hair. Absolutely. Cause they also admire bird's hair.
00:21:53
Speaker
Yes, he does have great hair, very long, very luscious. It's true. Yeah, and they talk about this um very specific product that Cole has in his hair. It's called kangaroo paste. It can only be found in Australia and it smells like ginger blossoms, which of course both Sean and Gus, super sniffer, have clocked.
00:22:19
Speaker
Yeah, finally the return of the super sniffer. Yes, I know. Did it come back? Is this the first time it's been back? Oh, this season? Or I think at all. Or maybe no. No. Because wait, have we had the pop,
00:22:43
Speaker
wait, the one with the, oh no, that's the next one. Nevermind. The supers never comes back again in the next one. Love it. It's a mainstay, really. Yeah, so but I feel like we haven't seen it. That's true. Yeah, I was just trying to think of when we saw it last, it's been quite a while. Yeah, because I think we've been like, oh, that would have been handy, but it didn't. Yes. I don't know. I don't think it's come up. No, I think you're right. I want i wonder if they I don't know. They're not at the point yet where they are, you know, just throwing stuff at the wall. Like maybe they were saying we don't want to overuse it. I could yeah mean you could see that. But yeah, it definitely comes very much in handy throughout this episode as um he needs to smell different things. It takes a little coaxing, but we get there. Okay, wait. An enthusiastic and sprightly yes. Was that to Lassie? Sean says,
00:23:44
Speaker
I have that written down, which is very funny, but I can't remember what the context was. The next thing I have down is my hair is hungry for it, Gus. Oh, I might be skipping it. That's so fun. A lot of great stuff in Lumen and his hair. Yes, so true. And I do have to say, Sean's hair was on point this episode. His hair looked wonderful. He looks great.
00:24:12
Speaker
very time okay brightly in the
00:24:20
Speaker
um Okay, Lassie, the answer is an enthusiastic and sprightly yes. You've got yourself a couple of bounty hunters. Oh, right. Because they find out that they can get the bounty. If they find Yancana, they are eligible for that. They are eligible for the bounty. And i do I do really like that, although on face value they're doing it for the bounty, it really feels like they're doing it for Jules. Yeah. Well, and in the end,
00:24:48
Speaker
Yeah, I feel like Sean just likes... the stakes and the excitement and the drama. And so it's like they are acting like this, but also like he doesn't actually care about that. We know he doesn't care that much about money, like he doesn't have any money.
00:25:05
Speaker
It's true, the only reason they can keep any sum of money is because of Gus. Yeah, I think it's just the thrill of like yeah being a bounty hunter. yeah So he's like, ooh, like now they are, now they are, because they're the bounty in play, yeah they are bounty hunters and that is enough for him. yeah it's ah It's a fun game to play. Oh my gosh. They really are playing pretend. like yes They're playing in this episode. and He literally puts on a costume at one point. This episode
00:25:39
Speaker
It feels very big and I did check and this is the mid-season finale.
Mid-Season Finale Excitement
00:25:43
Speaker
Oh, okay. So it makes sense. Yeah. They didn't come back for like almost three months. Really? Yeah. Wow, that feels like a long time. It was like this was like September and then the next one's December.
00:25:55
Speaker
wow yeah and but i feel like you it really feels like that because you do have like yeah all the tension of like being against the clock as we said and then like it feels like a quest kind of like they go to a lot of different places and then like when and then they're picking up things as they go like when he does get the vest and stuff it's like he's like coming into this new form um and there's like a lot of stunts yeah yes so many stunts a lot of stunts like yeah yeah really I've never really thought about it. I feel like it's because this was at a level that we have not been. There was just like a ton. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, and from multiple different people, like Bird has a couple of big ones. Yeah. John and Gus have a couple of big ones. Tancana has a couple of big ones. Yeah. Kind of all over.
00:26:44
Speaker
Yeah. And we yeah there's like a great twist in the episode. It's just like a really yeah a lot half exciting one. It feels big. Yeah. Which i mean makes sense being that it's the mid-season finale. And if they're not going to be back for so long, you know you want to leave a big bang, I suppose. So yeah, I think it was a really fun one. Yeah. And I think the fun bits kind of speak to that too, like like bringing back the super stiffer and stuff. ands yeah It's like a special almost, like it's just really fun. yeah I love the retirement bit, which oh my god comes up in the next week.
00:27:26
Speaker
Every time someone says retired, Sean will. cow or duck, duck and cover. Yeah, he like ducks. People always get a shot. as you they see Which I feel like is such a, like, such a TV poll. join Yeah, like Sean as a kid was definitely like, okay, every person on TV when they say they're retired, they're gonna get shot. So like, it's gonna happen in real life to duck. Yeah, I did think about it.
00:27:52
Speaker
But now that you see it, like they are playing with genre, I feel like in this episode, like with the like cop movies and stuff, they reference a couple like Tango and Cash. Yep. And Roadhouse. Yep. Which are these iconic like, you know, these like bar movies and like, just yeah again, being like outside the lines kind of law enforcers. and so And then that retirement thing is such a like trophy. Yeah. So they yeah, they're I didn't really think about that, but we could have probably watched a bonus movie for this one. That's okay. Maybe next time. Maybe we'll have another one we can watch Tango and Cash for. I've actually seen that from my bad movie podcast. Oh, there you go. Actually, Roadhouse too. I watched them both for that one. Oh yeah, I've seen Roadhouse. That's a good one, Patrick Swayze. He doesn't love a good Swayze. Oh yeah.
00:28:45
Speaker
So then they, they do talk to bird and oh, cause they like ask him for advice. Yes. and Which like such babies again, the bounty hunter bird, but they don't know anything different about this guy yet. Yeah. Like to, to them, he is just like super cool, like a hero. And then they go to talk to him and he really shuts them down. Oh yeah. He's not about their antics at all. Yeah. When he's trying to find what What Gus says.
00:29:18
Speaker
um
00:29:24
Speaker
He says something, well they say something about like having some friendly advice. advice and then he's just like, stay out of my way and Gus is like, wow, that didn't seem very friendly at all. Yeah, isn't he supposed to be this friendly bounty hunter? Yeah, bounty hunters are all very personal. They're just like, <unk> so funny. But yeah, he falls far really fast in their eyes. Yes. And he's mean about jewels. And he's mean about them.
00:29:52
Speaker
um So yeah, pretty quickly, I think they want to, to win this. Yeah. They definitely want to come out on top here. Yeah. For themselves, for Jules to rub it in the bounty hunter's face. Yeah. And it did. It was gross that he's like the pretty little blonde lady detective. Yeah. Did not like that. So demeaning. Yeah. Very.
00:30:18
Speaker
So yeah, he and i and then why don't you boys just step aside and let daddy clean up your mess. Yeah, gross. I did not like that at all. Yeah. Yeah. So this guy sucks basically. And they have a ah moment of, you know, never meet your heroes. And then is that when we go and watch the footage? Yes.
00:30:43
Speaker
All right, so, oh, and this, I actually really love this little interaction. So they go over to Jules's desk and Jules plays the footage of Tancana escaping from the police station. And Sean clocks that Tancana has a medical bracelet and he essentially says, oh, he has a heart condition. And does he have a heart condition? And Jules says, yeah, he's a cardiac patient or whatever. And she goes, how did you know that?
00:31:11
Speaker
And I love that Sean didn't just go, uh, psychic, duh. But he was like, oh, I just, you know, I'm in a comfortable position. I didn't feel like putting it, you know, finger to head, you know, it, you know, traumatic and whatnot. I do love that he's he's just like, he kind of and admits that that's for show. Yeah. Oh, totally. Totally. I just didn't have the energy for that yeah whole thing.
00:31:35
Speaker
which Like, you know, if if that's the case, right? If he, over time, continues to do... things like that, like little tiny things, peppering that in of like, I really don't have to do this big show. I'm just doing the big show because I like the dramatics of it. I feel like it affords him so many more opportunities to do exactly what he's doing and no one questioned him. You know what I mean? Like to just observe and be like, oh yeah, a psychic thing. Notice this. Yeah. I mean, he does not admit to seeing the bracelet. No, no. Like he still suggests that it's like a psychically
00:32:12
Speaker
Um, observed. Yes. But yeah. And also like, he's also leaning into Jules's space, which he admits that he enjoys that too. We'll see a lot of leaning into space later. Yeah. Well, also I realized we, there were. Okay. With a bird. Yes. Um, I think Gus says like, wow, I think I hate that guy, which fair us too. Just like sad. Um.
00:32:42
Speaker
Yeah. Just happened to deal with, you know, you just didn't really know that you're here. Um, and then Sean says that they're going to do it for Jules. So that's, I guess maybe that's kind of where it changes a little too with the bounty. Cause he's like, she had our backs now we're going to have her back. And then they go talk to her. Very good.
00:33:06
Speaker
Oh, and there is that moment when they're talking to her too, when Gus is like, does he have any family in town? And she was like, don't you think we already checked that? And Sean's like, yeah, Gus. God, Gus. Yeah. Which is like funny because, you know, of course Gus is just, they're just getting in this, of course. So he's just asking like a normal Yeah. But Jules is so on edge, you can tell. Yeah. but She kind of like snaps at him. But of course, Sean wants to make Jules feel better. So God, Gus. Yeah. Shut up. He's really trying to score some points for Jules throughout. Yeah. And what we find out is that his cousin has a place called Marvin's. How many times do we think Marvin is going to come up? Oh my gosh. We had Marvin, Irish Marvin. Yeah. And now we have Marvin's restaurant.
00:33:55
Speaker
So much Marvin, we love a good Marvin. Two on the Marvin count. Two on the Marvin count. Add it to the list. will forget And I thought that this was like, again, one of the, so we get to Marvin's, we get to this restaurant.
00:34:10
Speaker
It looks like it's, you know, like a kind of dinery breakfast place. And they're talking to the cousin and the cousin very nonchalantly is just like, oh, I didn't know my cousin was out. Thought he was supposed to be in prison. What a shame. He does a great performance. Oh, yeah. Doesn't give much away.
00:34:27
Speaker
Absolutely. Yeah, it does a great job, but Shawn immediately knows that Tankiana has to be there because of what everyone in the restaurants ordered. And it just turns into another one of those like master classes from Shawn about deduction, which I love. And what I think was kind of cool is that it didn't feel as much of one of those, like, let me give you the rudimentary course, Gus, but just like, uh, let me explain what's happening, yeah which I think was nice.
00:34:54
Speaker
I wonder if part of like why it feels a little different is like Sean is so excited. Yeah. Yeah. He's here. We're going to get him. Yeah. The way his like, like his whole delivery of this buildup is like, and he's so excited.
00:35:16
Speaker
Yeah, it is. I'm sure it must be very exciting. You know, Sean, typically when he's finding clues and things like this, he finds a clue, brings it back to Jules and Lassie, they do something about it. And then there's a big, you know, reveal at the end. Here it's almost instantaneous. Yeah, very high stakes. Yeah, very immediate stakes.
00:35:39
Speaker
Yes, and possibly, you know, financial stakes. So that's, I'm sure that's got to be just like, like, whoa, you know, so exciting. Gus doesn't seem to be as like on board with the whole bounty hunter thing now. Which makes sense. I mean,
00:35:56
Speaker
For all they know, yeah they are trying to catch a murderer. Very true. and take like Who already has head-butted jewels to escape. like yeah like they don't I would probably not want to mess around with this guy either. That's true. Yes, sometimes that's hard to remember on this show because they do such a good job of making everything like so light.
00:36:17
Speaker
and Totally. Not serious. Yeah. You're totally right. I would have been like, I'm not going and trying to capture a murderer. They might murder me. Yeah. and ah And especially having seen this a bunch, it's like, like oh, I loved handcam love Can. Yeah, I love Tan Can. Exactly. He's so funny. It's like, who would be worried about him? But like no, it's like a pretty scary situation. Yeah, totally. And then which adds to it, so bird arrives. Oh my gosh. Yeah.
00:36:45
Speaker
the havoc that bird like He just walks through the world like a wrecking ball. like totally He is not swab about anything. He just is throwing Tancana around and like jumping over things and like just breaking strikinging stuff. yeah like No concern, which one I guess part of that whole bounty hunter like no rules apply vibe is that he just like doesn't give a crap when he yeah messes up. Yeah, totally.
00:37:17
Speaker
Very inconsiderate. Very inconsiderate. Absolutely. I mean, he shoves Tancana's face into someone's meal. Like, excuse you. First of all, gross. Second of all, that poor person who now can't eat that thing.
00:37:30
Speaker
yeah And Tancana, who has like ketchup on his face for nearly the rest of the episode. Poor Tancana. Yeah, it is kind of a gross moment. I don't really like to see stuff with food. Yeah, I know i totally agree with you. so And he really smooshes his face in there, too. He does. Yeah. Insult to injury kind of a thing.
00:37:50
Speaker
Yeah. and But Sean is still like very invested, wanting to be a part of this and engage with this. Well, I think, or because the next line I have is, these are certain terms, Sean, because when they're going to go back to the kitchen and then bird kind of interrupts. Correct. But yeah, because Lassie told them in no uncertain terms are they supposed to like engage with this guy. Correct. However, you know, is Sean does what he wants. But that's such a funny thing. And then the callback
00:38:26
Speaker
in the car when when they are talking to Lassie. Well, we don't hear Lassie, but Sean's like, because I do know what uncertain terms are. In fact, I just had to explain it to Gus. Yeah, so funny. Too much. So yeah, the bird ends up getting tankana in cups, but tankana gives him one of those wicked headbutts. Rose bird, essentially across the restaurant, which I was like, whoa. Stunts on stunts, man. Stunts on stunts.
00:38:56
Speaker
yeah And Tankiana ends up again, fleeing and getting away, seemingly. Shawn and Gus. Very wily. I agree. Shawn and Gus end up running after him. They get in the car.
00:39:09
Speaker
They are about to drive away, and pop goes the weasel, there is tin canna in the backseat asking them to drive. Yeah, so good. And which I was just like, guys, do you not lock the car? Like, why don't we lock the car? This is the exact reason why we should lock the car. But strange men don't pop up from the backseat of the car. We learned nothing from all we- I think we were just talking about this. This is why.
00:39:38
Speaker
So Gus ends up, we see getaway driver Gus, we see so many of Gus's superpowers, which I love. And another big stunt, Bird gets like almost run over by the car and does like a big flip over it, which is crazy. And the boys end up driving off with Tancana in the blueberry. Yeah, I forget, like it does feel like they were like, okay, we need to do, like everybody's skills are coming into play here. Like Sean with the hair, we got the super stiffer, that's getaway driving. Yes. Yeah.
00:40:08
Speaker
Yeah, it's very fun. but Like every turn, there's like something new happening.
00:40:16
Speaker
So there talk they're in the car, they're talking just kind of about what's been going on, right? And they get a call from Jules and Lassie and... Oh, I do want to mention the power partner name. Oh, yes, the partner name. is Galileo Humpkins. Galileo Humpkins, too.
00:40:37
Speaker
And then Delbecchio tells us about his partner, Gord, Delbecchio, which again, yeah, what a name. And apparently Delbecchio is not Delbecchio. Tancana is saying that Delbecchio was far more involved in everything that was going on than he was. He was really just there for the robbery. Delbecchio would know more about the murder or any of those things. Yeah, I had something big going on. And um they end up getting a call from Lassie or they make the call, they end up talking to Lassie and Jules is when we get our black and white cookie bit. Oh, wait. I think we go to the police station and Bird is there with Lumen and Lassie and Jules. Oh, yes. And they're like... Yes, you're right. And they kind of got away and Bird is like... Oh, yes. He got away in a car. Yeah, a child's car. And they describe Gus's car and then...
00:41:34
Speaker
Yeah, you're right. It's a comedy moment where like Lassie and Jules like just like lunge for the phone. Because they're like, I mean, of course, I can't imagine. Yeah, of course. They're like, Oh my God. Yep. And now we, I mean, at this point, they've got to just be driving around with Tancana in the car because Bird made it back to the station. Yeah. I don't know why.
00:42:03
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know. Presumably their plan is to go to this. I mean, they say that they're heading there. Yeah. I mean, I wonder if once Tancana started talking, Sean was kind of like, give us some time. Yeah. But it's I think guess would adhere to that i in this moment. That's true. Yeah, I don't know. Because seemingly they should have made it back there before Bert. I mean, he wasn't even in his car when they were driving off. Yeah. I mean, maybe it's it's just the shock of him being of Tancana being in the car, they're just be like kind of directionless for a little bit until they're like, okay, we're going back to the station. Yeah, that's true. But as they're talking, you can see, as Kylie mentioned before, kind of the gears turning in Sean's head and Sean's like, so something's going on here. Yeah. Look a little bit more into this. Seems like maybe Tancana isn't as guilty as he seems.
00:43:02
Speaker
Regardless, though, they do decide to go back to the station. And they call Jules when they get outside. Well, before that, I just want to say, because I think it was on the original phone call, right? um Maybe. When he gets all flirty. Oh, yes. Oh, my gosh.
00:43:24
Speaker
he's like Sean Spencer bounty hunter. Sexy. Yeah. I think I know the second thing is sexy. That's a given, but it's a given. Spencer bounty hunter. Yeah. And I love the cut to Gus and he's just like enjoying it. He's like, he's such a like wingman. Like, I don't know. He just looks like, he's like, yeah. Absolutely. Boy. Yeah. Angelus is just silent. Yeah. So funny. Emotionless. And the next one.
00:43:56
Speaker
And then they get to the station yep and everybody comes out and Tancana got the drop on them again. Yeah. And somehow managed to handcuff them to the car. Yeah. He's very surprised. He is. and here um Yeah, I wonder if he spent, I mean, he must have kind of a rap sheet already. Oh, must. But he is like, seems to be uncatchable. Yeah, I wonder if it's like, if he has some sort of sense of justice, which I feel like some career criminals maybe do, where it's like, he is putting up such a fight because he did not do this. Yeah. But like, if he was just being arrested for what he did do, which are kind of like, not me fair and fair. Like, yeah.
00:44:44
Speaker
You know, he's kind of going with it. So maybe it's just the fact that he's like, no, I'm innocent one. Also, also there are stakes in the kind of, uh, you know, what might happen to him. Cause he mentioned like, I'll, I'll probably get the chair in this one. So, right. Yeah. Yeah. He definitely has plenty of reason to fight back here.
00:45:04
Speaker
Yeah. And I mean, this probably feels like his only opportunity to get to do that. you know I'm sure it is not as easy, or I'm sure it's not very easy to get all the things done that you want to get done when you're working with like other people. right I mean, he can tell the lawyer till he's blue in the face that he needs to go find Gord Delbecchio, but that might not actually happen. and So many he doesn't have like a fancy lawyer. He has a public defender who ye Probably, you know, they only have so much right bandwidth for all the cases that they have. So yeah, very difficult position. Yeah. So he gets the slip and he runs off somewhere, question mark, in the process of us determining where to go. One of the lines that Shawn and Gus say, Gus is like, you know, I'm going to go take a nap.
00:46:02
Speaker
And Shawn goes, it's been a long time since we napped together. It was sweet. Yeah. so And Gus also says, I'm done being a bounty hunter. I'm retired. And when we get another Shawn being like... Yeah,
00:46:18
Speaker
yeah I love a good running bit. Who doesn't?
00:46:22
Speaker
And so we we get in the car, we're driving to seemingly somewhere, and then we cut to us being in a boat, being in ah Henry's little tiny fishing boat, because I guess he's got a couple, ah he called it something, a skipper, something like that. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, it's ah it's essentially like a little dinghy, yeah. And they are on the water searching for a houseboat because of some clues that can't, tan canna, tan canna.
00:46:53
Speaker
That's what he did the first time we talked about him. Well, and that is such a funny, because I wrote down like, how does he know how to take a left on Cabrillo? And then something, something, something. And he's like, he meant house. No, he said house, but he meant houseboat. I'm like, Sean, how do you know that? Correct. There's really no indication Yeah. Unless it's just like the way he described the geography of like taking a left at Cabrillo. Maybe, but I was even thinking like houseboat, like this boat is in the middle of nowhere. Yeah. It's not like a houseboat tied up to the shore there. Exactly. Like there, he could have just been on the water for forever trying to find this thing, but he seemingly brings them right there.
00:47:42
Speaker
Yeah, it's that I think about it every time I watch the same, same. Yeah. And I, I bet it is probably something about the streets or whatever, but Gus doesn't seem to have taken it the same way that Sean has not to say that Gus and Sean are always on the same page, but I would think if the geographical markers that Tancana gave.
00:48:06
Speaker
Were that outrageous for Sean to go, oh yes, houseboat. Like, that's probably would have thought the same, but he didn't really question it. All he says is about another mile on this road, turn left on Cabrillo, I got to make a stop at a house down there. Yeah. So it doesn't really give anything away. All I can assume is that for some reason, Sean knows that like,
00:48:29
Speaker
There's only so much, maybe that direction on Cabrillo. But also like to say, like, I gotta make a stop at a house down there. Like, right they can't do that in the car. So i like, what did he what did he even mean? I mean, maybe he was gonna give them the slip maybe at a certain point in that area.
00:48:52
Speaker
Yeah, the only thing that I could think is that because Delbecchio has evaded capture for so long, Sean must be thinking that he'd have to be, like a regular house could not be the location where he was. So maybe he uses that to extrapolate houseboat. Yeah, house although they don't even really know That's true. But it's Delbecchio's. That's true. He is just a witch. Yeah, two-witted. There we go. That this is where he needed to be. And he was right, because on the boat, they find Tankana. And apparently, this was, in fact, Delbecchio's hideout. And they they
00:49:45
Speaker
Get on the boat. Sean takes a rope. They forget to tie down the dinghy. It's a whole big thing. Big tank Hannah comes out and he's got some kind of weapon in his hand. Sean says put down the fish bonker. Sean finds the necklace that the wife was wearing.
00:50:05
Speaker
and essentially says to Tancana that it's circumstantial evidence, but circumstantial nonethe but evidence nonetheless. So that means that Dalbekia was at least there and could mean that we could actually try and find him and slash get Tancana out. My next question regarding this houseboat is Bird manages to find them. How? Because it's not like he's a couple of moments behind them. He's like a good 10, 15 minutes behind them in TV time, if you will. Yeah, true. Maybe he like had to arrange a boat.
00:50:49
Speaker
Oh, fair. Maybe he was following them, but couldn't just steal his father's. Yeah. Okay. I see. Yeah. I had to get one of his own and just kind of watched the general direction that they were going. All right. That's fair. I can believe that. I can believe that. He's unhappy with them. Yeah. Bird finds them. He now has like a sawed off shotgun of sorts in hand because he is done with their nonsense. yeah Again, he got like a.
00:51:21
Speaker
steel horse cowboy kind of vibe to him. like Cause he comes up like guns blazing, like just shooting into the sky.
00:51:30
Speaker
guy Oh, and Sean's on the phone with Henry. Of course. Cause Henry has to be in the episode. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's such a classic little
00:51:41
Speaker
stick, I guess, where yeah Henry has called because he wants to make sure they're still coming for dinner. Of course. Just how cute. Yeah. Come for dinner. And immediately he's like, are you on a boat? She's like, Henry, how? Yeah. Well, i I mean, Henry probably spends oh that's very much of his life on a boat. That's true. He probably knows boat sounds. And to be fair, I can tell when someone's like in the car on the phone. So yeah I'm sure there's a very specific ambiance okay to boat.
00:52:11
Speaker
Yeah. And yeah, he probably talks on the phone to like friends of his on their boats and Cause he has, you know, they live in such a boat culture there. True. And he's definitely a boat guy. Mm-hmm.
00:52:26
Speaker
and Yeah. So bird manages to get his way onto the boat and Sean floors the boat, I guess. I don't know if you can use that terminology with a boat, but you know, makes the boat go really fast and fast. And a bird ends up falling off the side of the boat, which leads me to my question. Does a gun still work after it's gotten wet? Hmm. I feel like.
00:53:00
Speaker
in some stuff that I've seen. some They don't. And then sometimes they do. So maybe it depends. We may never know. It depends on the... I was about to say the species of gun. Nope. The type of gun. It's getting late, my brain.
00:53:18
Speaker
okay yeah so he he falls into the water again he's like super just pissed at everything so he shooting in the air trying to get them uh gets back on the boat shooting at them in comes another big stunt shawn and gus and tankana jump off this big boat into the water so good so good And Tancana manages to very quickly swim over to the lost dinghy and sails away into freedom while Sean and Gus are stuck in the water where Bird pulls up in. I'm assuming saves them, but who knows? We don't actually see. Begrudgingly, for sure. Begrudgingly, yes. And Tancana's away again. Yes, seemingly cannot be caught. Yeah. This man.
00:54:09
Speaker
which good for him. Yeah. He's, I mean, survival instincts. He is fighting as much as he can. Yeah. There were, okay. There's a couple of moments on the boat that I want to mention. Yes. Okay. Well, we got the, I think it's the last retired bit oh yeah on their way, which John does it again. And Gus is like, would you stop doing that? yeah yeah And then, um,
00:54:39
Speaker
They say something about, they make some reference to a movie. I can't remember which one it goes. It was like, great. Now we have to worry about Billy Zane too, which Billy Zane is one of their favorite people to reference. Yeah, yeah they do a lot. yeah I think canonically like Sean really loves Billy Zane. I feel like he talks about Billy Zane a lot. He definitely does.
00:55:05
Speaker
um And I also thought when Sean finds the necklace and he presses it into Gus's neck to see that the marking, that's intense. That's very intense. Kind of cold and creepy. Yeah. Especially into his neck too, as if he didn't find the imprint on any other form of skin. Yeah. And they really don't... I feel like Gus would be kind of winged by that, but he doesn't. Yeah, no. He just goes with it. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like Gus, if anything, would have smacked his arm and been like, stop it.
00:55:36
Speaker
But he didn't, he just seemed to let it happen. So they, yeah, so I guess bird saves them and then they go back to,
Jules' Moral Dilemma
00:55:44
Speaker
oh, they go find Jules at Marvin's. At Marvin's. And this was, you know, this was very sad. Yeah. Very revealing scene from Jules. Yes. Like it's just kind of more about like the way she thinks and stuff than we've ever really gotten. i Yeah. Very vulnerable for her insight into her yeah mind. Yeah. She's just like staring out the window.
00:56:14
Speaker
in our little diner and Sean tries to like get her attention and she's really not listening and then she goes on this kind of mini monologue about having this like essentially moral voice in her head that tells her like what's the right thing and the wrong thing to do and then one day it disappears and all you can stand on is like what you believe Well, the way she phrases it is so interesting. So interesting. And I wanted to talk about it, so I'm glad you're going to pull it up. Exactly the wording. Yeah. Okay. Let's see. Okay.
00:56:52
Speaker
Should I read the whole thing? Do you know what it's like to have an internal voice that tells you what the right thing to do is all of the time and you do it and it works and you're good at what you do. And then one day it just shuts off. And in that moment there's no voice and you just have to listen to yourself. And in an instant, in a millisecond, you make a tiny but crucial mistake and screw up so badly it affects your whole life.
00:57:20
Speaker
And Sean says, no, I do not, but Gus here might.
00:57:26
Speaker
Like just so interesting. Yeah. Like what really stood out, like the way she talks about this voice and then the way she says, and then in that moment there is no voice and you just have to listen to yourself. So she hears, a she has this voice that is not herself. h So I'm curious, who do we think it is? Hmm.
00:57:52
Speaker
Oh, that's a good question. Not her dad. Not her dad, certainly not. I was wondering maybe her brother. I was going to say maybe Ewen. Yeah. Because he would represent in her mind like this kind of perfect yes good and perfect like institutional good. Yeah. Because he represents like the government and stuff. Yeah, federal institutions. Yeah. yeah And she has to when, um, in the episode with him, when he becomes a lot greater than she realizes, like, that's like a big reckoning for her. Yes. Yeah. So I could, I could see that. I actually think that would probably make the most sense if we're interpreting it as like it, an actual voice of someone else. And that would also.
00:58:49
Speaker
lend to the idea of it like disappearing because he probably like goes off on assignment and then she doesn't have like him to talk to or bounce ideas off of or even him to say what is morally right or not morally right. It's also interesting to think about the fact that had this not happened, had Tancana not escaped, he probably would have been put away for a crime he didn't commit and they never would have found the murderer. That's true.
00:59:20
Speaker
Well, yeah, I mean, no yeah, i I wonder if, if we're to, so I think you can interpret the voice in a couple of different ways. I think you can interpret it as like some, like we kind of said, someone telling her right from wrong. We could also just interpret it as like this moral compass. okay um It's just interesting that she doesn't equate it with herself.
00:59:45
Speaker
But I could, I could kind of see that as like, I want to do something, but like something's telling me that it's not the right thing to do. Like I want to eat an entire plate of chocolate chip cookies, but there are five other people sitting in this room with me. Something's telling me it's not the right thing to do. I know that that's not, um you know, right, whatever. So I'm not going to do, I'm going to share the cookies with others.
01:00:12
Speaker
The only reason I bring that up is because I wonder if her saying that the voice has gone away, like what could have led to that? It could be that literally the voice left.
01:00:25
Speaker
Or I wonder in kind of this instance where we see, yes, the the right quote unquote thing for her to do would have been to make sure that nothing happened to Tancana, but also in making that mistake, we find out kind of a greater, something greater has been righted, if you know what I mean? yeah um Which makes this whole situation very gray. So as things are no longer so clear cut, does the voice disappear because now there really is no very clear like right or wrong thing to do and now She has to kind of interpret it for herself. I don't know That's a good question like I guess we'll have to see if this Stays with her at all because it it it would be kind of a because it's one thing for her to have this experience where she screwed up Yeah, but then for her screw-up to have as you said revealed something more true than what she thought was
01:01:23
Speaker
true is like that would be kind of disturbing in a way. Like if you're yeah used to like things being very clear or like just feeling like you know what you're supposed to do. Um, and maybe that's like a part of Jules's whole thing. Cause I feel like we kind of struggle with that a few, we grapple with that with her a lot. And maybe that's why Sean is such like a an interesting force in her life because he is yeah so gray. Yeah. Oh my God. Maybe that's what she needs. Yeah. As I say, it's interesting because that literally sounds exactly like what you were just saying with you and how he feels like this very clear right. But when she sees him again as an adult, she learns that he's much more gray and that's tough for her. um Yeah. I think Sean's really good for her. Yeah. That grayness.
01:02:24
Speaker
Yeah, know she like wants to live in a world of absolutes. And also like I remind it again, like she's like 24 or something. I know really young. So what I think, I think the world is comfortable in absolutes. Yeah. I think it's easy.
01:02:47
Speaker
to say, and we as human beings feel much more comfortable going, this is my group, that is your group, done. the But things simply are not that way, so it's hard.
01:02:59
Speaker
I'm sure especially being so young, it's hard to reckon with that. And especially in such a high stakes career, like being a police officer, I'm sure it's tough to go, I was supposed to do this thing, but this thing in fact was the wrong thing to do, even though in my job description it was the right thing to do. Like that's a lot to have to unpack. Yeah.
01:03:25
Speaker
Yeah. and And it's such like that role in society. So like ingrained in like, it's like very authoritarian. And so like for her to have to come to terms with the fact that that authority is not always right or always doesn't always have the best interest of people in mind. yeah But like with her background.
01:03:54
Speaker
her dad being like, quote, unquote, criminal, like, like she has a very, like, that would kind of instill in her this idea of what is good and what is bad. Like he would do that. And then like her brother goes and becomes this like gold star military person or whatever. And so like that is good. right And so like these very clear demarcations are made in her mind and then like,
01:04:21
Speaker
the more she actually like works in the world, the more they kind of get murky. Which I feel like is probably true for a lot of people. Yes, absolutely. Well, I think that's just kind of part of growing up. you know I think when you're a kid, things are so clearly... like vegetables. Bad, candy good. There's no semi, whatever in the middle of those two as a kid. Everything's very clear. Yeah. Well, it's also what you're told too. For Sean, he is told over and over again who the good guys are. Yes. Even in this scenario, Sean or Henry makes it very clear who is on the right side of things and who's not. If he was doing
01:05:12
Speaker
like the crime solving correctly or like the, like the bounty hunter isn't really crime solving. So I don't know who's who's enforcing, who's doing yeah law enforcement correctly, yes I guess. Um, but when it comes down to it, Sean is doing it like incorrectly by Henry standards and just like, and a lot more of like a gray way as we've described. Yeah. dry yeah So he definitely lives in this much murkier world. Absolutely. And it works for him. and who But it I can see it. No, it does not work for Jules. Yeah. Well, it's like something she has to yeah learn because I think that's how the world is. And that's something she doesn't really yeah get yet. It's also kind of interesting. like
01:06:09
Speaker
We're talking about like absolutes versus like nuance. Sean has some like different absolutes that are important to him. there is like the truth that I, like that is kind of what he is in service of, which is sort of different than yeah like good versus bad. m Yeah. Oh, that's a good point.
01:06:37
Speaker
Yeah, the truth could be very bad, who but regardless, it is the truth. Yeah. I mean, in this episode alone, like the bad guy yeah is, I mean, the ultimate bad guy is ah the victim in a sense, like going- It seems to be, yeah. Yeah. He he appears to be.
01:07:04
Speaker
And like the truth is not what like, not what we expect it to be, but also like not what like in a perfect world it would be. You know, there's this very clear, like, you know, like, like 10 Kenna says, like I'm a thief. Yeah. He's a bad guy. He's yeah know like, but for in this situation, right that is the thing that they are trying to solve. He didn't do that part.
01:07:32
Speaker
Yeah, and that's a very nuanced, like even that is sometimes hard to ah digest this understanding that two things can be the same at once. Like this guy can be a criminal and also currently be innocent. who Yeah. And that's probably hard, especially for ah someone like Jules who likes to see things very clearly delineated. I'm sure that's kind of hard to come to terms with.
01:08:01
Speaker
also thinking about her father, whereas like he is not always the bad guy, but he is he has done a lot of bad things and he does do a lot of bad things. Yeah. but That's going to be an interesting episode to talk about because I feel like so much of that right there, what you just said, is just like her psychological like trauma response to everything that she's gone through with him. you know like wanting him to not be, maybe wanting him to not be the bad guy, but also not wanting to make herself vulnerable because if he is the bad guy again, like, you know, that's going to be a really interesting, really interesting conversation. Oh man. Yeah. Cause that episode has a lot of ups and downs. Okay. Okay. And a similar way to Tancana being like having done a bad thing, but not being the bad guy, the bounty hunter is like an interesting,
01:09:00
Speaker
Like he is doing the good thing. Like trying to catch the bad guy, but the way he goes about it is like, yeah he does all the bad guy things too. Yeah. All the bad guy things is true. Yeah. He seemingly does not care at all about, yeah. Like the law or people's safety. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah. And just like the damage that he does in service of. He's very brash. Yeah. The like greater good of catching this guy. Yeah.
01:09:35
Speaker
Okay, let's keep it moving. No, that was a great conversation. I feel like we we can just go on and on. I know we could. We totally could. And we probably will. let's knock That's a continued theme. We'll have more opportunities to dive into that.
01:09:51
Speaker
All right. So we're, so Jules is like, she's kind of done. She needs her space. So she gets up and you know, Sean's trying to be like, it's okay. Don't worry. But she's just ready to leave. So she leaves all of her ah documents on the table for Sean and Gus to look at. Maybe they can find something.
01:10:09
Speaker
and Sean immediately clocks on the back of his neck. He has a tattoo and Gus believes that it says Barb, B-A-R-B, like a lady, and thinks that they could cross-reference maybe some of the people that Tankiana runs with to find a Barb, maybe he's staying with Barb. but And Sean realizes that yes, while it does look like Barb, the last letter, the B, is in fact a one and a three, and it says bar 13, which is a biker bars. The boys go to a biker bar which it was so funny watching them walk in to this like ah very tough like almost kind of metal place. Yeah. And all these like very gruff patrons and they even get up to the bar and the bartender's like, I don't know what fraternity dared you to walk in here. Sean goes up to the bar and is like, can I get a list of your California whites please? yeah
01:11:07
Speaker
I mean, it's so funny the kind of competency walks in there. Yes, but also it's like he's in on the joke. of it Like he knows how ridiculous it is. Like, exactly. I don't know, but he still does it. It's so No, totally. Because again, he's he's in search he's in search of the truth. That's the thing. So if the end goal is finding Tinkana and finding the truth, he's going to do it regardless of how ridiculous it is. But I do like, yeah, he's he's in on the joke. He's in on how absurd this is that the two of them just walked into a biker bar, which of course he knows does not serve California way.
01:11:40
Speaker
weapon and ah So they're they're in there and man do they stick out like sore thumbs, which is funny because just like in the real world, they don't stick out as maybe Gus a little bit as like kind of preppy like Sean definitely is not, you know, stick out. But here I'm just like, wow. Yeah, they are.
01:12:01
Speaker
You know, everyone's dressed in black, they're in like... And leather and cut-offs and... Yes, and they're in like, polos and yet yeah, it's just totally not the vibe. And they're asking some serious questions like, where is Dwayne Tancana and the guy behind the bar never heard of him, right? Yeah, like I don't think you're telling us the truth, giant guy. Giant guy, yes. And in the meantime, all of the bikers are just slowly crowding around behind them.
01:12:30
Speaker
At which point they then get taken and hung upside down, which I was like, wow, so severe. but Yeah. So many other punishments. It sounds like these people would not mess around. Oh, that's very true. They're not the kind of people to mess around.
01:12:45
Speaker
Yeah, that's fair. yeah And they've got like these massive chains and at one point it looks like someone's gonna hit them with a chain and then Tancana's like... Yeah, again, another scary situation that does not feel scary. Completely, completely agree. Yeah, i completely agree. Although I did find it funny that when Tancana said to put them down, they're literally hanging from their ankles upside down and Tancana says to put them down when the biker comes and scoops Sean up like a baby.
01:13:13
Speaker
I'm shocked I didn't just drop them nice and sweetly spooks him up like a baby sits him on the floor but yeah he'd like this was just fun to see them in like a different situation like this And Tancana definitely now in his element. Yeah. Cause he definitely felt, it definitely seemed like he felt comfortable here. Like nothing was going to happen. No one was going to take him. Yeah. Well, and he does kind of the way he talks to the people he's like kind of calls him off or calls him on, you know, like he kind of has some authority there. Yes, definitely. So this is definitely his community. Yes. And he manages to convince the boys into helping him.
01:14:01
Speaker
And Sean's one caveat is that he wants one of the bikers vests. I love like the synthesis of the supplement all comes together. We've got the bounty hunter who kind of kind of fits in this crowd too. And then like Tancana, the bikers, and then the vest. And that's what made it feel like such a like quest. Yeah, it just was like The structure is so great and it all comes together and then we got Sean at his best, finally. Finally, he's got a cool leather vest. I have here duck, it's bird. That's what I have next. Oh, I guess that is funny. I didn't think about it like that, but be I think at one point Sean says duck, it's bird, which duck, a duck is a bird. So that yeah funny yeah maybe that's Maybe it tickled you. Duck, it's bird. Oh, oh oh they're they're trying to go to the office.
01:14:55
Speaker
Oh, right. He's just like lurking out front. Yeah, but creepy. Yeah, I think he'd be more stealthy, but whatever. So they they this is ah Sean sees Bird outside the office and he screams duck, it's Bird and all of them, including Gus who is driving the car, ducks, so that no one can see what's happening. And it's like guster. Also Bird knows what their car looks like. That's true. He called it a child's car and blew it. So he knows exactly what it is. Yeah, I don't know.
01:15:26
Speaker
What is wrong with them? But they decided to go to Henry's because obviously the office is not safe. Yeah, well I love it. So they say, where are we going to go with a fugitive? And of course, the answer is Henry's house. The house. And they get there and Henry's not home. he's He's grocery shopping yeah for the wonderful dinner. Yeah, the dinner we heard about earlier. Yes, of course.
01:15:49
Speaker
And it looked like the moment where Tan Canis just like picks up something random and Sean just looks at him and he's like, sure, you can play with that. Yeah, go for it. It's so funny. Oh, and they're also trying to figure out the phone because they got to make his phone. I don't think we've mentioned that. We didn't. On the boat, they managed to swipe it. So they're trying to- And it's been water damaged.
01:16:12
Speaker
for me. Yes. is After they jumped into that after the their ocean stunt. Yeah. And Gus is being very careful. He mentions I've cheated death three times in the last seven hours. What a life they lead. Indeed. He's trying to on waterlog it. I'm surprised you didn't put it in rice. I feel like that's a good, good method. And Henry ends up coming home. And of course they have to explain, you know, the strange man. Well, I love that moment. Like Henry comes in and he's like, I'm surprised that they're there. They're early. And then they're all just standing in the kitchen and then Tancana slowly comes in. And they all just look at each other like, what? It's so funny.
01:17:02
Speaker
And then we're just going beat by beat because it's also good.
Mystery of Camp Tiki Hama
01:17:06
Speaker
So good. So they say he's their old camp counselor, came in, came into town, gave him a ring, and they introduced him as a white feather. White feather, of course. And Sean says he's from Camp Tiki Mama Chama, and Gus was like Tiki Hama. Tiki Hama,
01:17:31
Speaker
And I just have Gus's face as they ditch Henry and Tancana because like, I don't, they just look so, their faces in this scene are so funny. They're just like, I thought, yeah, just like confused, I guess. yeah like Like, this is what it is now. You have to hang out with him. And I love it. I mean, they're, I guess ultimately they're not,
01:17:56
Speaker
worried about Henry figuring out what's going on. Because obviously, it's not going to be able to like, I don't know what they expect Tanki to do really. Well, so like and until up until this point. Camp Tiki Hama does not exist. Henry knows that they did not go to take Camp Tiki Hama. He knows this whole thing well is a ruse. Okay.
01:18:26
Speaker
But this is a great point because they, they did go to Camp DiChiamma. They do. They do. But they don't. Right. Exactly. and I know watching this episode, I have always thought like, this whole thing was made up, but maybe it was just that like, Henry didn't remember what the name of it was. I feel, yeah, sorry. Like they made up a backstory that he was a counselor at the camp that they did go to. And because Tiki Hama, like, like he does say it as if it exists. And then later we do see them there. Right, right. So I do think it does. and So I think in the full canon of the show. Yes, they absolutely did go there. However, I feel like
01:19:20
Speaker
watching the show up until this point, it very much so feels like it's a made up place. Yeah, it does. Especially like, yeah, Sean goes camp Tiki mama jamas, whatever, like clearly, he doesn't even remember the name of this camp that they apparently went to every summer. Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't put it past Sean to just not know. ah And the way even like the way that Henry catches out that white feather is not who he says he is or who they say he is is because he describes Sean as being like ok that's super into camp and stuff, which, yes so Sean is not that way. So he probably didn't like it. Maybe he blocked it out because he does have some dramatic memories too, because Gus was mean to him or like chose somebody else. Oh, at camp. Yeah, that's true.
01:20:19
Speaker
And you're right, Henry, I feel like if this were not something that actually happened, Henry right off the bat would have been like, quit it. That's true, yeah. Which he didn't. It was not until he gave a poor assessment of Sean. Yeah, that's fair. He has a lot of camp spirit, a team player, a real stickler for the rules. It wasn't until then that Henry was like, something's up. So yeah.
01:20:44
Speaker
And then I love the way Henry goes about this. He's not just like, no, like you I don't buy it. he's like he He just pushes.
01:20:57
Speaker
yeah He's like, okay, tell me more about it. you know like What did you do? and then They sang camp songs and he's like, okay, sing me a song. I love that. Like the backstory was he was the archery and the theater director. And then he was like, well, what kind of theater shows did you, oh, you know, original stuff. I was like, Tancana, do you have like an arsenal of original musical theater? Like in your back pocket. So Cottie's the best. I love it. Yeah. Then the camp songs and he sings. And I love what Henry's like.
01:21:30
Speaker
because Tien-Kien is like, oh no, that's okay. And then Henry's like, sing. Oh, Tien-Kien, oh, what you are, reaches me. So, so buddy, and then Henry and Gus, not Henry and Gus, shotting Gus, like just hearing it in the other room. I don't know, like they're just letting him hang out to dry in there. Well, so then, but so here,
01:21:58
Speaker
This I have to say would be the one point, this camp song, that makes me question Oh, it's so tough because you're right. I not totally feel where you're coming from. Do you know what I mean? And I don't know at this point, you know, right like this is all they had written. Correct. If they had like in canon. Right. Tiki Hama. Like if or if that was something they just decided, oh, let's do a camp Tiki Hama. I feel like later they must have because then when we get there, they sing this song. Yes. Which if you didn't.
01:22:33
Speaker
They don't say it like in the episode or anything, but it's just in place. It's sung in the background. Yeah. We hear it. We hear it. Which is very funny. Yeah. And it almost is like a joke for us, the viewer. Like, so, but it is hard. It's like, Ihama. Because it, yeah, it just, like in the world of psych, I understand that what probably happened, like, or in the real world, I understand what probably happened was This was some kind of weird bit that they came up with, ran with, and they were like, wow, how funny would it be if we actually go to Camp Tiki Hama and then we actually sang the camp song in the background? Like, oh my God, hysterical. And in doing that, it makes it canon that they went there. Yeah.
01:23:21
Speaker
but at this moment in time, like to to sit in this moment and think into the future of like, oh, we are going to then have this song play while we're at Camp Tiki Hama that we know he just made up on the, sorry Mike, that we know he just made up on the spot. Yeah, I know it is you know. I have always, I mean, I have the exact same feelings where yeah every time I see this, I'm like, they made it up. but But I guess I don't care that they made it up. I know no it's the best. Yes, it's good. But I can also kind of convince myself that.
01:24:01
Speaker
um
01:24:05
Speaker
Even in this moment. They did go. But Henry and Sean just don't really remember just block the whole thing out. Or they just don't remember the name. That's fair.
01:24:18
Speaker
Yeah, maybe they went to a camp. I mean, Gus says it very confidently. He does. But, but see, I can also explain that to myself as Gus plays in into every bit confidently.
01:24:30
Speaker
like evil and but Also, so does Sean and Sean does not confidently say something wrong. He just, com he says, he very uncertainly says something like jumbly because he doesn't know the truth. day
01:24:47
Speaker
Oh, that's fair.
01:24:51
Speaker
Okay, so maybe they did go to Camp Tiki Hama and then Tancana just made up a silly song. And like you said, they thought it was so funny to call back to it. So in the episode, they just called back to it. I could buy that. Yeah.
01:25:10
Speaker
I think that is what it is. And also like the song does not exist within the episode. It like plays over it. So it could be just like a gift more for us, the viewer, not a canon thing at the camp. Okay. Yeah. Cause no one actually sings the song.
01:25:31
Speaker
The song is sung to us. Yeah. Just like plays. Yeah. Yeah. It's like overlooking. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Different parts. Very creepily. Yeah. They make it very creepy, but so is the episode. So that makes sense. Yes. all Yes. So we're found out. Yes. We know that Tancan is not actually camp counselor.
01:25:52
Speaker
says Henry. Well, I do love also like Henry kind of doesn't want to know what's going on. He just comes to them and he's like, who is this guy? I don't even want to know, but deal with it. What you're going to do just yet, get him out. Well, in the process of all this happening of Henry's interrogation of Tancana, Sean and Gus have managed to turn the phone on and they see a murky image of a text message.
01:26:18
Speaker
that came into Delbecchio's phone. And through the process of some hangman, they managed to figure out that it says money drop off Meadow Park, which after some googling, we find out that Meadow Park is a parking garage. So they grab Tankana, grab themselves, grab the blueberry, and head on over to Meadow Park where we find Delbecchio Murdered. um and And in the process, Bird again ends up finding them. Don't know how. And is really done. Intense. He's very abrasive. So harsh. Yeah, he he you can tell he is just fed up with Tancana. Like slams him on the car, very aggressively puts the handcuffs on him, puts him in the car, close the door, speeds off. like You know, no big deal.
01:27:13
Speaker
and sha even says that was very quick a And Gus has locked himself in the car. He doesn't want to get out and look at this dead body, but Sean's... I'm figuring. So funny. Oh my gosh. Oh, wait. They're like an old married couple. You know, they just... ye Which is going to become like a runner. Yeah. Oh my God. So funny. Oh. But John smells something on the body, something that smells familiar. And of course we need the super sniffer to come and help us out, which he again calls the super smeller, which I don't like, but... No, I think he does it right.
01:27:48
Speaker
Oh, he said super smeller. Did he? I wrote down super sniffer. Oh, I'm almost positive he said super smeller. Wait, I have to try to skip that. Okay. Because I was waiting for him to say super sniffer and then I feel like he said super smeller.
01:28:05
Speaker
Okay, Sean says, I need the super sniffer and Gus says I'm not smelling some dead guy's finger Sean me put this super smeller up to some dead guy. So they they call it different things. Okay, interesting. Wow. So Sean's ah naming of it will eventually take over, I guess. That's so There's something feels better about Super Sniffer than Super Smeller. I don't know why. But that's really funny that Gus identifies with Super Smeller. Yeah, he does. He doesn't like to just sniff. He likes to smell full force, you know? Yes. And ah he does eventually. That's true. They are kind of different. Yeah. Well, a sniff is like a, you know, like... And smell is like...
01:28:45
Speaker
So maybe Gus's super smeller is more like how it feels. like yeah It's a long inhaling. Yeah. Which we do kind of get, you know, as Sean tries to waft the scent towards Gus, Gus does a good like in the air and then realizes he smelt that smell before. But of course we're not going to give it away because the anticipation must build. So we head over to the station. We try and beat Tankiana and Bird back there, which somehow we do. And they are- They are in this whole exchange. Yeah, it's- As they're coming up because, well, Gus is like, so like trying to ask like, what's going to happen here? And Sean is like,
01:29:33
Speaker
for me to spoil it for you, like more names or some movie. And he's like, just wait, it's better. and I love that we get the drama of that. Like Gus does not know how this is going to end. But then when they actually have the confrontation, Gus is completely committed in it. Absolutely. I just love that. I love their dynamics so much. Yeah, it's like it's just fun to watch. Yeah. You have them play off of each other.
01:30:00
Speaker
So Sean's really pretending that he has a briefcase full of money to try and convince Bird to swap Tancana for more money than he was going to have gotten from.
Final Confrontation and Resolution
01:30:14
Speaker
And Sean tells Bird that that's, it's like from the robbery.
01:30:18
Speaker
Yes, from this big, whatever this big heist was that they had on the side. And there's a little bit about what to call the briefcase. Is it in that cache? Is it a briefcase? Yes, very. Lassie ends up calling it a satchel at the end. so Ooh, a satchel. And they say that there's approximately $200,000 in there instead of the $50,000 that they would be getting from Lumen. And they do end up doing a swap for the two.
01:30:46
Speaker
There's a little bit about when are they swapping? This isn't their first rodeo. Because Bird wants it wants to see the money first and she's like, ha.
01:30:57
Speaker
Never. Not going to happen. Um, and then they do end up switching. They get tankana and bird sees that there's no money in there. Just was like, that was your plan. yeah Random nonsense from the back of Gus's car and bird pulls a gun. Yes. And that was the plan. Get yeah bird to pull the gun in front of the police station, dumb, dumb, which causes all of the cops to come outside.
01:31:25
Speaker
Well, I feel like, well, I think it's also just that he gave Jules a heads up as he often does. Because she comes out first. Oh, fair. She does. That's true. cause Because Gus is like, that was the plan. And Sean's like, no, that was. And then Jules is right there. And like they kind of wink at each other. Oh, and then Bird winks at her, which has been a running thing where Bird has an involuntary weekend disorder ofvo volary winking disorder disorder. It has a name, but I don't remember what it is. Yeah, me either. So.
01:32:03
Speaker
Yeah, all very fun. And it all wraps up so nicely. And then they're taking Tancana in and they're taking Bird in because he pulled a gun on a Spillion. And it's all over. Except that's like aren't you forgetting something?
01:32:23
Speaker
Yeah, but this is when we get the good nut, the good nut shellin. Yeah. All of it. I do love that kind of false sense yeah of conclusion. And then it's like, oh, right. By the way, it turns out it was a lumen coal all along. And the thing that gave him away was as Sean puts it, greediness for fabulous hair, that darn kangaroo paste. Yeah. I do love so the physicality of the nut shellings. Like.
01:32:52
Speaker
ah So where we end up, is Bird with them still, or is it just Jules, Lassie, and Tancana, and Lumen? It's just them and all. I don't know why, it feels like, I mean, I guess it's at night, but there's like nobody around. It's a very like desolate, yes which is like, the yeah, it's like the quietest we've ever seen at the police station. totally But they're like walking in and then Shawn and Gus come in like, wait, wait, wait. And I love Shonta's this like, yeah wedding march kind of yeah thing. He's got his hands like, linked together and he's like, doing a sentence per step. And it's very silly. And Gus is like, stop.
01:33:35
Speaker
um But yeah, so reveal that it was lumen coal. And then He's like, you can't prove any of that. And Jill was like, Oh, well, you can just look at the security cameras in the parking garage. And Cole's like, there were no security cameras. ah So he, yeah he outed himself. Silly Willy. It's the second time that's happened on the series. yeah Yeah. So he ends up getting taken in while they figure out the whole situation.
01:34:16
Speaker
And then we cut to... Well, way before we go, sign there's the moment with Tancana where this is like, so just Rory instead of murder, that's better, right? And Lassie's like, what are you guys, pals now? Yeah. Yes, we're besties now. He's so cute. And then as they're walking away, Tancana's like, the best looks good. Yeah, the best looks good. So cute. it's So cute. cute.
01:34:42
Speaker
Yeah, I wish Tinkana came back. I totally love Tinkana. I know, yeah. Iconic. But I feel like that's also like the beauty of the show is that they make yeah so many like beautiful connections with people that are so fleeting. Yeah. And that's life, man. And they just like they give it their all even though they're never going to see these people again. That's true. They are all in kind of people. Yep. OK, go ahead. And then we cut the joint a lot.
01:35:12
Speaker
And they're alone in the station. Which I guess that is kind of why it's so quiet. It's like we have to set up why it's so quiet yeah in the next scene. Yes. And, you know, Sean is there just to be like, we did it. It's all okay. He puts his hand on Jules's shoulder and then we get, you know, the romantic music in the background. Everything begins to swell. It's really like the most they've Like the most intimate touch between them.
Sean and Jules: Relationship Tension
01:35:43
Speaker
The shoulder. Yeah. Like that's like. Oh I know. The collar belt. Oh yeah. I know. Very sexy part of the body. Yeah. Absolutely. And then I don't even remember what he says, but something happens and Sean like leans in to kiss Jules and she stops him.
01:36:03
Speaker
literally millimeters from her mouth.
01:36:07
Speaker
they Okay. Yeah. How does that come about? Okay. Well, she thanks him. It really meant a lot.
01:36:19
Speaker
And he says, it was a mistake. And he sets his hand there and he's like, that's what friends are for. And she's like, yeah, it's been a long day. She's going to leave. And Sean's like, I guess you have to get home, feed your parrot. Oh, yeah. Sean, I don't have a parrot. Parrot. And he's like, oh, well, in that case, he steps closer and lowers his face like he's about to kiss her. She says, Sean, what are you doing? He's like, nothing.
01:36:44
Speaker
getting quiet because they're really quiet. They're literally this close to each other. They're tying so soft and she's like, really? Because if you're doing what it looks like you're doing, it's going to be one of those things we were just talking about. What's that? A mistake. And she says, I agree, but that's clearly not what we're doing.
01:37:10
Speaker
Okay, really? What do you say we're doing? I saw it very close talking. I see you. Do you have anything to say? And then he goes, and like really puckers as he thinks of it. Yes, yes. It's a little kiss and he's like, no, I think I'm good for now. Which I feel like that line is so potent. I think I'm good for now, which is like so like, because we have talked about with them.
01:37:39
Speaker
in the past or like the whole idea of like the best things, the richest things I'm supposed to from easily. Like everything takes, like everything with them takes a long time, yeah but I'm good for now. Well, it's so sweet. And they like, they part and Sean walks out of the station and he's like smiling to himself. He's so happy. And Jules like for a minute is a little like,
01:38:06
Speaker
confused. And then you can tell she's like, anxious and doesn't know what to do. So she starts. Yeah, something they introduced earlier in the episode is that she has this like stress relief exercise from the Academy where she disassembles and reassembles her sidearm.
01:38:23
Speaker
yeah And so that's what she does. She's like so rattled by this moment with Sean that she has to like calm herself down. Yeah. So sweet. So sweet. And that's where we end. I have a little heart. That's my last one. That's where we end. It is so, it is really sweet. And I love that like Sean is He can be very flirty and he flirted with her earlier in this episode. He literally said, um as I was skipping the transcript, he said like the bounty hunter thing turns you on. Like that's pretty forward. yeah and So he like kind of, he's quite flirty. He messes with her a lot and stuff, but like in terms of actually like taking, like making a move, he has quite measured about it. yeah like Like the idea that this is enough for now, like.
01:39:14
Speaker
And I'm just thinking of like with Abigail how, for their first date he just like didn't eat he couldn't even go like he just sat and waited and watched it's like he is, he is very cocky in some ways but also he really sort of shy romantically.
01:39:31
Speaker
I think when, yeah, when it matters, like when he knows it's something like serious, like Jules is like end game material, you know? Yeah. So when it's something serious, like he's willing to wait and put in the effort and whatever the quote was, you treat a woman like a princess and then a goddess and a princess. then a then Yeah. And then a person, then a princess and a goddess. and then Yeah. Yeah. Whatever it is. Right. Yeah. He's willing to do.
01:40:01
Speaker
all of that. And I feel like too, now knowing that this is the mid season finale, like what a way to leave us for three months. Yeah. And such a classic TV thing too, like of a slow burn of like, okay, here's something significant, but also we're nowhere closer to anything. But I like, I don't know why as much as it like,
01:40:31
Speaker
I can imagine at the time was aching. He was like, ugh, three months. I so prefer prefer that ah to like any other mode of romance in movies or anything like that. I want to see. I want to see it all. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Because all that time we spend watching, because Well, I love that what this kind of, what this scene kind of starts with is that's what friends are for. And then it kind of ends with like, that's enough for now, which is kind of like sums up where they are right now. Like, yeah yeah and I think he does think of her as like, if he is with her, that's kind of the end of everything. So yeah it's like, he doesn't want to rush into that. He's not, maybe not really ready for but that. And also they have a lot of others.
01:41:25
Speaker
stuff going on, they work together and all that. It's not really ready to to mess with all of that chemistry, but it's on his mind as something that is going to happen someday.
01:41:43
Speaker
So sweet. What a good way to end the episode. Yeah, quite a mid-season finale, like yeah big for everybody. Absolutely. I mean, really, I would say the one of the biggest episodes we've probably had to date. Yeah. I think in terms of like, cause I feel like in our reading, we find a lot of very like yeah deep things, but if you were just watching it, maybe you wouldn't go that far. Like we wouldn't think about it that deeply, but like sure for this, it's like an actual climactic moment. Yeah. No matter what. Yeah. Definitely one of the biggest.
01:42:23
Speaker
Shules scenes so far.
01:42:29
Speaker
Yeah, so three months. So this was September, next one's December, and it is a Christmas episode. ah Gus's dad may have killed an old guy. Oh my gosh.
01:42:41
Speaker
This is a great one. I just love that we finally get to see like a Gus e like you think yes family episode. Gus's family, Gus's parents, we hear about them all the time. yeah yeah Yeah, we do. We know so much about them, although we've never met them. What an introduction.
Preview of Next Episode
01:43:01
Speaker
Yeah. Family. Yeah. Christmas episode. Yeah. Yeah. So good. I mean, and totally makes sense too. Like we would go around for the holidays. We know Gus is close to his family. Like it definitely tracks as a time when we would be there, but then to add in that his dad might have killed someone. Such a psyched thing to do. Like just so good. It's gonna be great. And we're getting into kind of the holiday season.
