Introduction to Versailles 6101 and Episode Focus
00:00:20
Speaker
Alright, hello everyone and welcome to Versailles 6101 where we discuss everything about the world of psych and the antics of Sean and Gus in sunny Santa Barbara. I'm Skylar and this is my partner Chairman Meow and today we'll be talking about season 2 episode 14 of the famed TV show Psych.
00:00:38
Speaker
Dis-lodged. Dis-lodged. Dis-dash-lodged. Oh, there is a dash in there? There is a dash. Because that's not a real word, right? Dis-lodged. Is it?
00:00:51
Speaker
Oh, I guess it would be. just I think it's throwing us off just by being so, what do you call that? Stylized? Yes.
00:01:02
Speaker
But yeah, if you dislodged something. Oh, yeah, I suppose not in lodge as in an edifice, but lodge as in stuck somewhere. dislodging something. So why do we think they put the the dash in there?
00:01:16
Speaker
I guess just for the to really emphasize the pun of the lodge, the modern lodge. Oh, fair. That makes sense. That's fair.
Secret Societies and Freemasons
00:01:26
Speaker
Yeah, this is a we have secret society in this episode. Ooh. which is always so fun conspiracy and whatnot yeah
00:01:38
Speaker
other than like the the rituals which we didn't really get into what they're for so much either but other than that it's more like your local rotary club or something yeah yeah it does kind of just seem like I want to more of like a frat house.
00:01:58
Speaker
Yeah, was like very old men. Yeah, just a bunch of guys hanging out, but also wearing purple. Real boys club. Yeah, definitely. a woman in sight. No, and I do think that is kind of the guise of a lot good unquote secret societies. You know, like people say a bunch of stuff about the Freemasons, which still exists, which is very much like a a boys club community service kind of a thing but then if you trace the history of the masons people can get very conspiratorial very quickly so question mark as to their real purposes suppose yeah do you know much about secret societies do you i am
00:02:43
Speaker
quite the conspiratorial yeah i love conspiracies and i think part of it is i'm a history teacher so i kind of just love like looking into coincidences and like strange occurrences and huh isn't that so weird that this group constantly comes up again and again and again you have like favorites well
00:03:08
Speaker
I do. i So I do personally kind of love the Masons just because apparently my great grandfather was a part of the Freemasons, which I was like, what? I don't think yeah I know he didn't like really get into it. I think for him it was more of like a social thing.
00:03:24
Speaker
And what do they do? All I know is from like movies. Yeah. So they are. That's not that much. Yeah, they're like a community service kind of a group. Like that's at their, again, at their face. Like it really is kind of just like a social club. But you have to, similarly to this, you have to like know someone. Someone has to vouch for You have to be a lineage. Like there's a vetting process, if you will, to get into the club. It is a boys club. There is a female counterpart, which I can never remember the name of.
00:03:58
Speaker
But there's a female counterpart to the Freemasons and they're like two separate groups, but a lot of people whose partners are in one are often in the other. Yeah, i mean, we did, to complement our viewing, we also watched The Da Vinci Code.
The Da Vinci Code and Its Themes
00:04:15
Speaker
Which Kylie had never seen before. had never seen. which So I'm so excited to hear your your opinion, your take. Yeah, well, I gotta say, i did keep comparing it to National Treasure, which I think is a perfect film in one of my favorite movies.
00:04:27
Speaker
We should watch that one when we watched the the treasure hunting one. Ooh, that's a good one, yeah. Yeah. But yeah, I i think I was sort of like... I did not realize it was like so about Christianity and like this sort of... Oh, yeah.
00:04:45
Speaker
Different imagining of Jesus' life and stuff. So I was like... I was surprised by that. And also... You haven't read the book either?
00:04:56
Speaker
No. Oh, I didn't i realize so Okay. I remember it being like a really popular thing, but I just never got around to And I feel like I probably... I often think I need to – well, often want to read a book before a movie. So, like, I probably was like, ah I would have to read the book in order to watch that. Yeah, yeah.
00:05:15
Speaker
I just never did. I think my sister read it. um But it was interesting. Yeah. Yeah. I felt like it was like the national treasure, like the lore that they are working within is also familiar to me as US American.
00:05:37
Speaker
And so this was all like, who are these people and what are they? And like trying to figure out like what what was the secret society versus just
00:05:52
Speaker
different factions of the church and like how they were separate, but like everybody is the church. If you're yeah involved in these things, you know, like they kept talking about that Opus day. Yeah. And,
00:06:05
Speaker
yeah and um And then like, okay, but that's not the secret society, but like they are very like weird and like, yeah. They're like kind of a, ah ah the what do they call themselves? The shadow council? They're like kind of this secret society?
00:06:21
Speaker
I thought the Opus Dei and the shadow council, like the shadow council was like people in Opus Dei. Yes, like high ranking members of Opus Dei. Okay, so it's part of, because like when that Fash, the investigator, when he was like, you know I'm Opus Dei.
00:06:37
Speaker
and i'm like okay so that's not the secret society like because he's very oh i see i see what you're saying like and then he even when they were in london and like the dispatch was like the two murderers are at the opus day house i'm like okay so everybody just knows what they're up to so that's not that's not part of the secret yeah yeah yeah No. Yeah. Okay. so So Opus Dei in the film and in the book is like a radicalized or like a very extreme form or section or sect of the Catholic Church.
00:07:10
Speaker
But everyone knows that they're them. Everyone knows how they work. um But this smaller group... within Opus Dei, like the high ranking members, those different bishops are the shadow council and they kind of work through Silas, our albino monk that we get to know.
00:07:29
Speaker
Silas. I felt for Silas. Same. So I, he, every time i watch this movie, it makes me want to cry for multiple reasons. one for the torment and torture that this man puts himself through i did read because i was also like okay just having i'm not i was not raised catholic or anything so i'm like was trying to like wrap my head i think that was maybe a challenge too because yeah like catholic like the catholic church is one church but like i'm very used to protestantism just short being more of the the culture in the u.s s and so like these different factions of the catholic church being like
00:08:08
Speaker
one church but different groups was like, yeah I don't know. It's like, I don't, I didn't know how to wrap my head around all of it because it's so different. I had just have no experience with it. Yeah. Yeah. that's Um, but,
00:08:20
Speaker
all that said, I don't know where I was going. Oh, I Googled like a fact versus fiction thing. Um, to like, again, get my bearings.
00:08:31
Speaker
Yes. It was real versus not. who in that whole movie Yeah. Just like but what was fictionalized. um And one of like the most factual things was like the opus day you like the self-mutilation stuff that Silas does. like That's like really part of it. i was like, whoa.
00:08:52
Speaker
Yeah, like the flogging. Oh, God. Yeah, I covered my eyes for those things. Yeah. It was pretty... I mean, it's very intense. And i feel i feel particularly bad for Silas because it just seems like he has been so...
00:09:11
Speaker
manipulated and like taken advantage of by the church and I don't necessarily know if that was the bishops who name I can never pronounce ah ringaosa or something like that that was main guy Yeah, the... The one who was on the plane in the beginning?
00:09:27
Speaker
Yes. I don't know if that was his intention. certainly seemed like his intention. It definitely seemed like sound like i can talking to him. Or was that then? feel like he made a comment...
00:09:44
Speaker
Oh, because Fash is like, you use me. and then Oh, at the end. Yeah, yeah, And then the bishop says something about like, like yeah, but you know everybody's used by the Lord or something like that.
00:09:55
Speaker
So it's just like, he does, I think he very actively is using the stylus. Yeah. Well, it's just so sad because this this man is clearly...
00:10:09
Speaker
He's clearly struggling, like from a very early age. It's clear he just like needed some guidance and someone to like just be nice to him and not consider him like a terror it just because he was albino. Is that what it was? Well, we also watched the extended edition.
00:10:26
Speaker
oh I didn't watch the extended edition. Because of a miscommunication. Oh, okay. We got this. ah But Michael was like looking at it and I was i was like, we barely have time for like
00:10:38
Speaker
like the two and a half hours. Yeah, it is a long movie. Yeah, and I was like, I'll just, if we don't finish it, I'll just watch it later. And he thought, by that I meant we should just get the extended version and I'll watch it later. And I was like, no.
00:10:53
Speaker
So anyway, watch the three hour version. Oh my gosh, it's a whole nother half hour. Yeah, had three hours. And there was this really long, i guess we both assumed it had been cut out of the, like that was one of the things that they got out was this very long montage of like Silas's whole life.
00:11:10
Speaker
Oh, yeah, that's not in. Yeah. So what what happened in his... whole because in the Well, I covered my eyes for part of it because it was all very sad. He was like in... Well, did you read the book? I did read the book.
00:11:21
Speaker
I've read the book a couple times, but years ago, so I don't remember entire extent of his life. Because that's... what I imagine, like, all this is in the book, um but there was... he was, like, in jail, and then it, like, got blown up, and then...
00:11:38
Speaker
um somebody, i think it seemed like everybody was just like dead. And then some like monk saved him or not, not a monk, but like somebody as part of this.
00:11:50
Speaker
And then it was, so it was like he, you know, had an allegiance to them because they took him from where he was. Yes. Whatever bad. Chosen by the. Yeah. And like sort of saved him.
00:12:03
Speaker
But it was like, it's just so sad because.
00:12:09
Speaker
yeah don't know it was sad it also reminded me of do you ever watch bones the tv show yeah i love bones yeah i'm sure we've talked about it that was one of my earliest obsessions but it's fantastic so i totally understand um the whole like gormagon plot line yes yeah yeah and like gormagon preying on these like young yeah exactly men like that yeah that was what i felt like silas was Yeah, definitely.
00:12:37
Speaker
and And I feel like I just watched.
00:12:42
Speaker
Oh, I just watched um Paradise. Have you watched Paradise on Apple TV? It's really it's like a new series. It's really interesting. It falls like a Secret Service agent and and ah president.
00:12:56
Speaker
And I don't want to give away much more than that. However, one of the Secret Service agents is very similar, really rough life. um He lived with his uncle. His uncle essentially abused him, ah certainly emotionally abused him, attempted to physically abuse him, and then he ends up killing him to prevent him from hurting him anymore. And he ends up going to prison and he's a juvenile at this time. So he spends most of his life in prison. And then when he gets out, he's like recruited by this mercenary group to become an assassin. Like it's this whole like crazy thing.
00:13:27
Speaker
And that feels very much like very much like Silas too. um So are we seeing theme? Yeah. um But regardless, you you feel for these people like being manipulated and and used and especially in this case used under the guise of religion, under the guise religion.
00:13:51
Speaker
you know, being saved or or, you know, whatever Silas says at one point. um Starts calling himself an angel. Hold on, I might have written it down. Yeah.
00:14:02
Speaker
The bishop calls him an angel too, right?
Robert Langdon and the Da Vinci Code's Impact
00:14:05
Speaker
Or somebody else. Yeah, well... Yeah, the bishop does. So before the bishop called him an angel, he'd always been called a phantom. i guess because he's so like, you he's very slight and albino and he's kind of ghostly.
00:14:17
Speaker
um And then he kind of latches onto that angel thing. But yeah, he's like, you know, talking about like being saved. Almost. it's It's really sad to, I think, manipulate religion in that way. And I'm not a big religion person, but and still think it's sad.
00:14:33
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah.
00:14:36
Speaker
In this movie, I think really the the two like kind of clandestine societies are the Priory of Scion, which is the main one, and then also that Shadow Council, a part of Opus Dei.
00:14:49
Speaker
And in both respects, they have some... influence on the inner workings of a larger society or a larger entity or a larger group manipulate them in some way um i think that's a little bit more apparent in the shadow council of opus day than it is in the priory of scion but they're still manipulating i suppose the narrative of what they are protecting um Yeah, well, not having you say it like that. like It seemed like the Priory... mean, we didn't really see who the other three main guardian people were, but it seemed like... Especially the Grandmaster.
00:15:34
Speaker
ah Weird name. Yeah. It's very... There's a lot of, you know, grandeur, which should we see in Psych, too. like Yeah, totally. Which is funny, because...
00:15:47
Speaker
Because in movie like this, like, there, you know, it's a very big, it's the church, it's Jesus, it's like very big stuff. And then, but like with the same gravitas applied to like Santa Barbara local politics or whatever. Yeah.
00:16:10
Speaker
Yeah. So anyway, it does seem like the grandmaster, like,
00:16:14
Speaker
As you said, he's not in part of a specific organization, like a high part of it, but he is the curator of the loop. So it's like he's positioned himself in society such a way that he can do things and he can protect his stuff just by having loop put it my kids sir to put it and Yeah, and and we even hear eventually when Langdon and Sophie get to Lee's house, we do hear Langdon talk to Lee about people he suspects as being a part of the Priory.
00:16:55
Speaker
So if there are people to have Priory, or if there are people who have to expect or it's to suspect they must be people of note in some way or they must ah be looking for people of note in some way with some form of power or something like that yeah that's true so the big thing about the the da vinci code i suppose or the big secret society in here is that priory of scion which seems more like a like a pagan type of like religion than anything else they seem very devoted to like the idea of well a protecting what they're protecting of course but then also we hear like sacred feminine so much and whether that's because it's his book or because of the particular topic um which of course there's tons of spoilers in here so we don't really have to be too ambiguous but um the main point of the movie is that we're
00:17:54
Speaker
We're trying to find the answers to this riddle that this guy, Sonier, who is the head of the Louvre, left when he died. He was pursued and killed by our albino monk.
00:18:08
Speaker
And he leaves like a code and a cipher and blah, blah, blah. We like solve the code, solve the cipher. And then we have this key and we're like, oh, my God, what's happening? He who is he? What does he know? Blah, blah, blah, blah. We end up eventually finding that he's a high ranking member of the secret society Priory of Scion.
00:18:24
Speaker
And do I spoil the whole thing ah whole thing real quick? Sure. and we find I mean, what, 20 years old? um yeah Yeah, that's fair. Oh, yeah, almost.
00:18:35
Speaker
That's terrifying. I don't like that. Yeah, I did check. So it came out 2006, I think, in the episode. The psych episode was 2008. Oh, okay. ah oh yeah I do feel like as it was in the zeitgeist.
00:18:48
Speaker
but Yeah, totally. It was because it was so popular. Yeah, definitely. So yeah, the robes and stuff. Yeah. And that's when I thought of Dislodged. I immediately thought of the robes, which made me immediately think of the Da Vinci Code.
00:19:03
Speaker
I don't know if it was the most fitting movie for us to watch Secret Society wise, but I was like, oh my God. They kind of seem like ah twin spirits. and so But it's definitely like the way feel like the grip that it had popular culture, like the the impact it had.
00:19:22
Speaker
Yeah. Probably did inspire the episode. Yeah. Yeah. Because. because
00:19:33
Speaker
I mean, yeah, I don't know. I just remember being like really popular. And so it's like, you know, when you're making a bunch of episodes and it's like, okay, well, let's do a secret society. But yeah yeah, that's in right now. And I feel like I remember it being ah big thing even but before the movie came out. Like I remember people talking about the book and like everyone was reading the book and it was like this big deal and like you really had to read it. and i remember my parents...
00:19:58
Speaker
being like, oh, i'm ne my parents are not very big readers, um I suppose, in comparison to some other people that I know. My mom reads like a book or two a year. She likes James Patterson. My dad doesn't read.
00:20:11
Speaker
But I remember them specifically being like, I could never read that book. It's too long. Like it's too complicated. And was like, oh, interesting. What is this? We watched the movie. that was really good. And then eventually I read the book.
00:20:22
Speaker
um But yeah, i it definitely felt like a phenomenon. like Everyone knew about it, even if you hadn't read it. so Yeah. And like, again, the whole time I was like comparing Natural Treasure, but like this was a very adult story.
00:20:37
Speaker
m version of that kind of story so like I feel like in terms of its impact on popular culture like that is part of it too you know like yeah it's like National Treasure is like a kids movie yeah pretty like family movie yeah it's a family movie so like it wouldn't have the same footprint although it is super popular but um like this being like yeah like a a grown-up movie
00:21:05
Speaker
A man movie. Hanks. Tom Hanks. tom hank I do love Tom Hanks. Yeah, and I think it's kind of fun to, like, for as much as Robert Langdon, the main character, is supposed to be an expert on symbols in this movie, we are kind of figuring, like, he's figuring out what's going on with us. Like, he doesn't really seem like he actually knows what the hell's going on. Yeah, that's true. guess part of that's just because he doesn't know this man or know this woman who has now randomly, like, said, and hey let's figure out this mystery together.
00:21:37
Speaker
Yeah, I did like that, like... I don't let like a chosen one kind of story, which like you do kind of have with the girl, the woman, but like with Robert Langdon, it just seems like, yeah, like he's like, I don't know.
00:21:50
Speaker
Yeah. no here I don't know. ill listen do it yeah totally late And like him, that moment where um like she kind of tells him He should just leave and he won't. And she's like, well, maybe that's why he picked you because you will stay. um i thought that was sweet.
00:22:13
Speaker
But one of the big things from the ah Robert Langdon franchise that ah Dan Brown, who's the author of all of the books, comes back to is this idea that there's like secret groups running the world which yes probably most likely we are not a part of them so we cannot confirm nor deny um but i think it's always kind of fun to see like what crazy things are you going to come up with next? Like there's one where, um I think it's origins where they're looking to see if like the soul exists.
00:22:45
Speaker
So they're like, people are dying and it's like, do people lose mass? Like when they die, is that the soul? It's like a whole, like, and it's like a secret group working on this and he has to stop that. It's like crazy. So that was kind of fun.
00:22:58
Speaker
Cause when I think of secret society, that's what I wanted to think about. The self-willing world. That's really interesting because like something that... Well, just like with this movie, I was like... Because, okay, again, National Treasure, you know, it's like that it's very like practical. Mm-hmm.
00:23:23
Speaker
Ultimately, fantastical, yes, but ultimately it's like just people. Mm-hmm. and like part of and like history and also more recent history um and then this movie it's like god and like it adds a level of like um well depending on who you are like a level of magic-ness that, like, was interesting. And so, like, to hear, like, about these other ones, like, about, like, the soul and stuff, it's like, wow. Like, a lot of, like, very just more, like, abstract ideas hu that...
00:24:10
Speaker
he's playing with and
00:24:14
Speaker
yeah. So just that, that is interesting. um Cause like to think about not only are they secret societies, but like also this very like alternate idea of like humanity and their relationship with their god and like all these things this is like interesting to think about when it's like a fictionalization or like ah sort of like fan fiction christianity but also like i don't know i don't even know to explain it but just like because um these ideas are such like you know every single human being is like working through them on their own um
00:24:58
Speaker
like in their own life. Like, you know, why are we here? who Who? Like their relationship to their cosmology and stuff.
00:25:09
Speaker
um So it's just like interesting to, because like at a certain level, like this movie is like, you're taking all of that as sort of fact.
00:25:26
Speaker
But then there's also like,
00:25:29
Speaker
This whole idea of Jesus the man versus Jesus the God. Yeah. um It plays around with with fact and fiction a lot.
00:25:42
Speaker
I think he does a very good job of like towing the line between legitimate actual historical events. and Like things that probably really didn't know happen. Nope.
00:25:55
Speaker
Like even... I think part part of like towing that line to that whole sequence with Lee in the house and the Last Supper, like his interpretation of that piece.
00:26:10
Speaker
Sure. It's a it's a work of artwork. Da Vinci might have been trying to say Z, L, M, N, O, P thing about it, but it's not a historical document. yeah Or do you know what i mean? Like, it's not it's not a video. camp It's not a recording of something like it's his interpretation of.
00:26:27
Speaker
of an event So to say that, oh, Da Vinci is saying that this is Mary Magdalene and this is the chalice because Mary Magdalene will actually exists and she was pregnant. It's like you can't you can't take that and use that as fact.
00:26:40
Speaker
You know what I mean? Yeah. But I think it because it's so close to reality or because you see it as something that actually exists, it it does toe that line between like fact in fiction and fiction and what really is real and makes you question hu what is actually real, which is kind of.
00:26:56
Speaker
yeah kind of fun and playing into what you're saying yeah it's yeah it's sort of a ah puzzle in itself like because it is playing with things that you are aware of but also like taking them in a direction that you're not used to so yeah yeah I like it I think it's fun i think every time i I watch it or read it I'm always like
00:27:25
Speaker
could they Could it be? Who knows? Yeah. I mean, how it be
Angels and Demons Recommendation
00:27:30
Speaker
who knows? Like I said, I, I like the Dan Brown, Robert Langdon series. I feel like it's very, it feels very high stakes.
00:27:38
Speaker
I feel like it's, it's always really interesting. um i would recommend watching angels and demons. It's a very fun one too. That is one with the Illuminati. So that's kind of cool.
00:27:48
Speaker
If you have heard of the Illuminati. I'll have to check. I mean, I've heard of these things, but I have no, idea like what their actual like what people actually think they're up to you know in real life like in the oh okay yeah like in the real world well yeah I mean I'm curious I'll have to continue on it's interesting to know that angels and demons is the second or is the first one yeah well it's the first book but it was second movie yeah yeah um but yeah just check it out um but yeah all that brings us back to dislodged dislodged um it is fun to think about that concept
00:28:40
Speaker
on a smaller scale yeah um
00:28:47
Speaker
yeah i just really love stuff like that where it's like the stakes are just as high but it's your tiny town yeah well and i think part part of what is so fun ah about this episode is it starts in this very real plates of the boys sitting in their living room forming a secret club essentially.
00:29:14
Speaker
Yeah. Of just the two of them. Which really speaks to just this like human desire, like this innate. We've all done this. Yes. Yeah. It's just and like, we it's us.
00:29:25
Speaker
To be the special ones. Yes, totally. And yeah, to know some information that like others don't know. And it's like exclusive in some way. No girls, no old people. Makes sense. No old guys.
00:29:37
Speaker
No old guys. Yeah. um Yeah, i feel like we everyone can relate to this in some way, at least in in the very beginning. And it was also kind of I watched these two back to back.
00:29:49
Speaker
So it was very funny going from the like serious, yeah like the world is ending nature of the Da Vinci Code to like, but la la. It was, yeah, it was a very nice juxtaposition for me.
00:30:06
Speaker
But yeah, the boys are trying to create a secret club, which I thought was, so cute so cute and and also like i mean right away getting into like the the the imagery that we associate with these things which is fun yeah and i do wonder like what 80s ip they they like got these these things from like yeah candles and everything Ooh, yeah, i wonder like what kind of movies about secret societies were playing at the time.
00:30:43
Speaker
Even if there weren't secret society movies, I feel like there were definitely like cult movies, which toes the line yeah between like secret society and and you know something more extreme. um Because they do always have that kind of religious undertone, or they often have that religious undertone or overtone, depending which cult you're talking about.
00:31:08
Speaker
And they usually do have those kind of... more interesting practices, if you will. So who knows? like you know They could have been drawing on some of that as well.
00:31:20
Speaker
Yeah. I'm also thinking now, it's occurring to me, how ah like the visuals are could also be very witch-like. Very coven. Oh, yes. Very coven. The candles and the cloaks.
00:31:33
Speaker
Yes. Circles. Yeah, circle. maybe like more maybe like the more like almost an antithesis to this like boys clubby environment.
00:31:48
Speaker
Intrigued. Similar visually, but more like unacceptable women. Of course. When are we acceptable?
00:31:59
Speaker
Yeah.
00:32:03
Speaker
Yeah, so maybe that comes very natural to Sean as a witch himself. Yes, of course. I mean, he so very easily gets into this lodge. It's like no problem whatsoever.
00:32:14
Speaker
You know, that's true. And I'm kind of surprised he wasn't more excited about it. He wasn't really excited. Well, I wonder, is there some tarnishing of it because Henry was a part of it? Could be.
00:32:30
Speaker
Maybe, yeah, he just kind of sees these guys as for what they are, which is ultimately just old men from Santa Barbara. yeah Doctors and whatnot. Like, they're not... Yeah.
00:32:41
Speaker
Yeah, that makes sense that he would kind of just be like... It's not... Maybe if it was like... the priory or something you'd be like this is cool because i was thinking when he gets asked to be a part of like the think tank yeah he's like oh my god because exclusive you know all of the like best people but here well henry was a part of it so can't really be it's all these random doctors that gus know these are not the people that are cool to sean if it were like associating yeah right like
00:33:16
Speaker
is something that um despero was involved in or something like that like i could see him being in a secret society and sean would go go wild for that yeah yeah absolutely yeah these are not his people these are lassie's people not his people yeah poor lassie yeah but yeah i think i love that this episode starts off in present day with henry bailing on sean and
00:33:42
Speaker
Sean and Gus seeing Henry in his car.
Psych Episode 'Dis-lodged' Plot Begins
00:33:45
Speaker
so the excuse that Henry gives is that he's sick. So he can't make it to this like wilderness something they were going to do over the weekend. Which funny that they even planned that.
00:33:54
Speaker
I know. and And Gus is like, see or Sean. Sean is like seemingly upset, but like not upset. But really kind of upset more because he thinks Henry's lying to him, which he is. And we find out very easily because he comes by in a car clearly now. first he doesn't...
00:34:09
Speaker
He doesn't suspect Henry's lying to him really at all. He's just like, oh, finally I'm off the hook. And then he's like, he was, he sounded pale. Yes, he sounded pale. he's You're right. He was like on death's door. And then Henry drives by. I love that moment.
00:34:24
Speaker
Like Henry is, we never see Henry that happy. and He's just like, he's drumming on the steering wheel. He's just ye having a grand old time. And then I love Gus is like, ah ha I can't do it, but it was such a funny laugh.
00:34:39
Speaker
Yes. like Like you've been played Shawnee boy. And I love again color theory Henry was in green. This was a very Sean move to pull. o That's such a great point.
00:34:52
Speaker
And he was in green. So I'm like, oh, good job. Good job. But they follow Henry because, of course, we can't let Henry get away with anything, thinking that he's smarter than Sean. Can't be. And Henry brings them to the local monarch lodge, which to me feels like a Masonic lodge.
00:35:10
Speaker
It's very close. And Henry is a member. He does a fancy handshake to get in. and of course, the boys follow suit. Sean's eidetic memory comes in clutched.
00:35:22
Speaker
And he does the whole handshake with ease. and do love the way he yeah talks through it. Oh, so funny. i don't remember all of the things, but it ends with a smack on the butt. Slap it on the biscuit.
00:35:33
Speaker
Slap it on the biscuit. Yeah. And then the the way of getting Gus out of having to do it is he was just like elbow deep in an animal. Yeah.
00:35:44
Speaker
Gross. Didn't have time to wash up. Sorry.
00:35:49
Speaker
And Gus handing him I didn't realize until that moment that it he took the actual ramekin from the restaurant. It was ceramic.
00:35:59
Speaker
I realized it was a ramekin, but I was like, where did he get that from? I thought he just had it in the car, but that makes the most sense that he took it from the restaurant. Yeah. They were just in such a rush. He couldn't put the ramekin down. Yeah. I forgot too, when they were at the restaurant, Sean hops up and he's like, Hey Gus, pay.
00:36:15
Speaker
Yes. Oh my gosh. I so good. Yes, and of course, Gus knows all about the Monarch Lodge. They're a clandestine society because, or Gus knows this because, like, all of the important doctors in Santa Barbara are part of the Monarch Lodge.
00:36:32
Speaker
And he's been trying to get in because then, you know, he would have a way to sell product to them. So nice that now Sean gets him a way in. Yeah, and Gus is fantastic in this episode. He's got sales repitude, man. Yeah, closers.
00:36:49
Speaker
They get inside, and I don't know if you caught this, but I was like, They get inside and they walk into this portrait room, this portrait hall of all the members in... the lodge and they see this very made up picture of henry very like 70s glam and right next to henry's portrait is a portrait of steve franks no i didn't realize the right of it i was like oh i love that and then i was wondering like is everyone else like members of the casting like members of the crew or like the writing staff and stuff i was like that would be so much fun that would be then you would get to keep it
00:37:28
Speaker
When they're done. What a nice souvenir. Oh my gosh. um So they sneak their way into like the main hall and all these old men are in their cloaks and they're like silky purple. Yeah. Silky purple cloaks.
00:37:49
Speaker
Talking amongst themselves. Yeah. Really. It didn't seem like anything was the matter. Yeah, which I guess is part of their point later No one's too broken up about this, but there is a ah dead body on the floor, one of their brethren.
00:38:08
Speaker
yeah And I love that moment, like the the drama of that moment, just like seeing Henry through all the cloaked men and yeah being like, what the hell are you into?
00:38:19
Speaker
Yeah. It was very dramatic. It was a good way to to start the episode. And yeah, we we like, you know, zoom down, zoom down, scan down.
00:38:31
Speaker
don't know. And there's the dead body on the ground. And it's like, oh, yeah. And I'm like, this is another one of those moments where i'm like, it's because I've seen the episode so many times. But like, what the hell are you into to Henry? It's such a.
00:38:50
Speaker
it's sort of a confrontational question. Yeah. Like who are these guys and yeah why are you involved? And are they like, maybe, I mean, but I guess walking into this room with all these guys, like,
00:39:05
Speaker
there is something sort of ritualistic seeming maybe about it. Like, like they killed this guy. Right. Well, and up until now, yeah And up until this point, we've seen Henry be so straight laced.
00:39:21
Speaker
Yeah. Isn't really doing anything sketchy other than helping Sean out. Yeah. He like, hasn't really done anything to, risque so to walk in on this yeah with a murdered body yeah seems yeah a little little freaky yeah so then we go to title sequence and then we get back gus is making sales yep gus is making sales sean's talking to henry and henry's like
00:39:56
Speaker
Or I guess Sean's really watching Henry and Henry is trying to tell one of the other members that you need to call the police. And I thought it was hysterical that he was like, we did, we called you. henry He's like, I'm retired from both of these things. So I don't know why you told me. That's like fitting for these guys to be like above the law. Like we're just going to call our buddy and make sure. I'll take care of it. Yeah. yeah um Yeah. And then really fun.
00:40:24
Speaker
Henry, Sean.
00:40:27
Speaker
moment where Sean says he was murdered yeah i love um you're a lying liar from Liarsburg sick faker yeah let me feel your forehead let me feel your forehead was so funny yeah Henry's like legit surprised like that reaction to Sean saying he's he was murdered which is funny like that Henry didn't
00:40:53
Speaker
clock what sean has clocked because usually
Investigation of the Monarch Lodge Murder
00:40:57
Speaker
henry's kind of a step ahead but maybe he's so thrown by this getting yeah pulled into this i wonder what they told him when they said like you got to come over here to the lodge yeah like did they say
00:41:12
Speaker
Yeah, I wonder if they told him, like, hey, we've we've got a situation. Or were like, Henry, can you just come over? Yeah. Because he seemed to, I don't, I can't imagine Henry that You're right, they probably really let on anything.
00:41:24
Speaker
Right, and then to walk in and be like, what the freaking hell, guys. And now he's like, oh you know, a witness. He's going to have like, give a statement. Yeah, he's totally involved.
00:41:37
Speaker
So then we cut to Lassie and Jules. in the with their coffees and Jules got coffee h three creams four sugars of course for Lassie that's like a fun Lassie order I feel like unexpected yeah a lesser show would have just had him drink black coffee but no totally no he contains multitudes he does and you know in a world of bitterness Lassie's allowed a little bit of sweets
00:42:12
Speaker
Yeah. Although he then throws the coffee out the window. I could. Yeah. It took me a minute. Um,
00:42:25
Speaker
to like parse his reaction to that because they're called to a scene but i think it's that he just recognizes the address because it happens again later ah like he he knows it's the monarch club and so he's like we're on it and like we're going and throws coffee be damned yeah and i love jules is like
00:42:46
Speaker
I feel like through this whole episode, it's sort of like, I don't know, maybe like a straight man or something. Like, she's just kind of like, not, she's not swept up by this silly at all.
00:42:58
Speaker
And I do feel like that's kind of fair. Yeah, right? No. No, she's not. She's not. She knows better. Yeah. And I think it's that voice clip kind of thing. Like, I feel like that just does not...
00:43:12
Speaker
you yeah and i i wonder too like what is the i was thinking this when we were watching this you know what what is the appeal of a boys club yeah you know yeah and we keep saying that phrase and it's just occurring to me now that that was one of the rules and sean and gus's club no girls no girls totally or my impulse would be to think that it would be even more like machismo in these environments um i know this is this is a hard so i we went to a school where fraternity so sororities were not really a thing so i feel like i don't even have a ah very good concept that's true yeah that what that feels like uh-huh well i mean it could be akin to like
00:43:58
Speaker
the idea of locker room talk where it's like oh um sure just really
00:44:08
Speaker
like being vulgar and sexist and stuff it's like oh well you know boys will be boys like like I feel like that would be the vibe but gross I don't like that no Yeah, I don't know. I just kept thinking to myself, like, what is the appeal of this? And maybe it is like the connections and the networking. And i mean, I feel like it is like a sense of power.
00:44:31
Speaker
like oh yeah exclusivity yeah yeah um yeah having something over everybody else that you get to be i mean we see that in the dynamic with lassiter yeah that's true they made up a rule to keep out like oh that's i was like looking at the jewels line that really struck me and that's it when he um when lassiter's future former father-in-law says, we made up this rule excluding ah law enforcement to keep out undesirables.
00:45:08
Speaker
And Jules is like, undesirables? Like, she's so sassy about it. Like, she's like, yeah, you guys are idiots. Ridiculous. This vibe that she has zero respect for this, which i appreciate.
00:45:19
Speaker
But... but that feels like what they're kind of doing to Lassiter is like yeah just making him feel like less because he doesn't get to be a part of the club which I think is what they get off on yeah i yeah I could see that that makes sense and it is again like Seems like everyone's pretty well-known or powerful or ah good at what they do.
00:45:49
Speaker
So they're looking for a particular clientele that maybe Lassie doesn't fit into, although I think it seems a little bit more vendetta-ish. Oh, yeah. From Parker's point, um because he doesn't like the way that Lassie treated his daughter.
00:46:06
Speaker
But who knows? Yeah. Or just doesn't think he's good enough for her. Sure. I don't know if Lassie like did anything. Well, I bet knowing Lassie, it's probably exactly the issue that he didn't do something.
00:46:23
Speaker
Yeah. I look forward to the episode where we meet her. Yeah. so like
00:46:30
Speaker
Oh, that's Tuesday the 17th, isn't it? Is it? I think it is. because that like jules is up at camp and i think oh okay it's horror in many ways i was gonna say that's quite the emotion flip yeah i believe that that is true but all right we'll have to we'll get there eventually yeah considering we're almost done with season two already oh my gosh i really i was thinking i had more episodes i have to finish the collages
00:47:02
Speaker
we'll get there slowly okay Yeah, so so Sean's trying to figure out, does he need to get involved in this? Does he want to get involved in this, I suppose?
00:47:13
Speaker
And he attempts to divine something. He clocks that there's like a powdery substance. I love the moment. yeah well I wrote a couple lines down from him and Henry.
00:47:25
Speaker
yeah no They're arguing back. and Oh, he wants to know the truth about Chairman Meow. Chairman Meow, yes. and Henry like you can't handle the truth and then they both like realize and then they're like yeah yes I love I love the line your cat got a little too comfortable with the armchair of my sofa yeah which is like and then I love how it comes back later when Sean calls him a cat killer and um or a pet killer, I think.
00:47:57
Speaker
And Henry's like, I'm not a pet killer. Chairman Meow is living very happily at a retirement home in Ojai. I'm like, Henry, love that. He's like, you know, yeah can't stand this cat, but he's gonna.
00:48:10
Speaker
Yeah. It's not that bad. The cat still deserves to live, just not with Henry. I also love... Oh, so while they...
00:48:23
Speaker
Some of the members are like, oh, you know, we love a legacy. And like, so ready to just bring Sean in. Yeah. They've barely even spoken to this man. Yeah.
00:48:33
Speaker
If they had spoken to him, they would know. He is a silly goose. Yeah, not Lodge material. There's the moment where... but Is Henry maybe telling them not to...
00:48:48
Speaker
brainsh shot I don't remember but um Sean starts to like have a lines like I'm seeing and then Henry like rips it away real fast and the score and that moment is so good it's like yeah it goes all like woo it gets like ah builds and then like when Henry grabs him it's like abruptly cuts out it's so funny yeah Yeah, it's so good. I'm always so impressed with the the musical storytelling of this show. It's so good. yeah I love line.
00:49:20
Speaker
is He says, no shenanigans. and ah Sean is like, it was a single shenanigan. Technically more of a hijink. More of a hijink.
00:49:33
Speaker
You know, I wonder if Sean actually, I could totally see this, actually has like a tiered system of the ridiculousness that he's going to do He probably does. he classifies them. Yeah, it's like kind of at the bottom, shenanigan, like a little bit more.
00:49:46
Speaker
I have a note that's just, this is a fun scene with all these people in the room and different conversations going on all around. Because it's like, we're all in the same place, but we keep moving to different areas like Gus. Yeah.
00:49:59
Speaker
Um, yeah, I do. I think it's fun, like you said, to kind of be in the the one scene, like the one area, beginning to see essentially what is supposed to be simultaneous.
00:50:11
Speaker
Yeah. Like conversations. Yeah, that is, that is kind of fun and not necessarily something I think we've seen yet. Yeah. I don't know that we've had like a big, like this many people in a room before. Yeah.
00:50:25
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, almost like a a locked room murder kind of a thing. We're all just here for a sec. Who did it? You know? Yeah, a clue. which we will get i love that episode that's a great episode yeah psych at its pinnacle one might say um but we do we catch one more thing before we leave because we do end up having of course to to leave and come back it is not quite as locked of a box as yes clue will be we notice that arthur holstrom's picture frame
00:50:59
Speaker
is missing from the lineup of pictures on the wall. And the pictures on the wall essentially outline who are the top-ranking members of the Secret Society. And it took me minute to figure this out.
00:51:12
Speaker
h This whole picture thing. Because there's, like, a guy at the top, and then there's five pictures on the bottom. But I guess the third picture, like, the middle picture of the five on the bottom is missing. And i was confused because they were swearing in Holstrom. Holstrom was the person who died.
00:51:31
Speaker
But his picture wasn't up on the Grandmaster slot yet. It looked like another guy. Yeah, I don't know. And it moves really fast. So I don't know. I didn't really look that closely at the pictures. But my assumption was that that was his up there. And that was why Sean thought it. But I guess they also could have just taken his down and they were going to put it up.
00:51:53
Speaker
Sure. That would make sense. That's what I pretty much ended up coming to. was like, okay, the picture's not there because it was going to be moved. here And maybe this all happened so quickly that like it just didn't happen to get moved.
00:52:06
Speaker
Yeah, maybe that's part of the ceremony. Sure. oh Oh, could be. Yes. move The moving of the picture.
00:52:14
Speaker
The top of the wall. um Yeah, that that would totally make sense. But I guess the big big shock here is that They're listed in order of importance.
00:52:26
Speaker
But Holstrom was the third person in the line of five. So he shouldn't have really been the next person up for the grand mastership, if you will. But he was the one who was selected. So why? That's like the big question that we have to kind of answer for ourselves.
00:52:43
Speaker
We head back to the psych office. hmm. And Gus on the phone with one of his conquests. And he's like, he's got a whole different voice.
00:52:55
Speaker
He's got his phone voice on. Yeah. I'll be there with bells on. And then like, who says that? Closers. Closers say that. I just it. Gus is just feeling himself in this episode. Oh, he is. good Yeah. And he's on a roll. Like, to be fair. Yeah. He is doing a great job. He Yeah. Yeah. It's fun to see him.
00:53:19
Speaker
Really excelling at his yeah career job, other job. Yes. And especially because we don't see him doing his other job very often. Like you hear snippets of like, oh, I got to go to my job or, oh, I saw this person or I just finished my route or whatever. But to actually see him like schmoozing.
00:53:37
Speaker
Yeah. It's kind of fun. um Even him literally like leaving Sean at the doorstep of the lodge to go talk to somebody else about another sale. Oh, yeah.
00:53:49
Speaker
I wonder how much he how much he brought in for the company in this one week. It seems like a lot. and Yeah.
00:53:58
Speaker
Yeah, don't know. And I have written down here.
00:54:02
Speaker
Gus is making a lot of connections because the lodge and then Sean says something about I'm doing something that has to do with a murder a murder you're taking entirely too unseriously which is funny because usually Sean is the one yeah but I noticed that too and it did make me think though of how like Sean like he really does care a lot about these things yeah like and we talk a lot about how he cares about the truth and stuff and it's like know. He really wants to catch the killer.
00:54:37
Speaker
Yeah. well And I think something we brought up maybe briefly last week is that Sean utilizes comedy as a defense. Mm-hmm.
00:54:51
Speaker
so however when he is unable to use comedy as a defense he has to like push that off on someone else so i wonder if it's almost the reverse here like sean gus is taking this too unseriously so now sean has to be extra serious which is making him annoyed because he likes being the unserious one yeah that makes a lot of sense um yeah because it's like the totally the the yang thing where it's like yeah part of how he focuses and like works through this very difficult subject matter which you could say is also how the show works through it is like making it very funny yeah um and like just like having all this silliness about it even though sean understands that it is a very serious thing and so yeah he's like in the position where um he is having to be the focused one
00:55:45
Speaker
um And also, like, he's doing the research, which usually Gus does a lot of that. Yeah. It does seem like... Sean's usually doing the theoretical and Gus is doing more of the like physical.
Comedic Elements in Psych's Investigation
00:55:59
Speaker
You know? um Yeah. And it also seems like something Gus would be very interested in. And he does seem to be kind of... Sorry, I'm slowly dying. um Like in the beginning when they get there, he knows what it is.
00:56:15
Speaker
And it seems like something he would be, you know, also with secret societies. But its maybe it's the same kind of thing where it's like these are all... Like, they're all just very accessible people, I guess. They're just normal people. And all they... So they're not cool.
00:56:34
Speaker
Even to Gus. Even though he might get excited about something like this, too. Like, Sean would. But, like, in this yeah scenario, he's just seeing them as potential clients or whatever. Yeah. Yeah.
00:56:49
Speaker
Yes, I would agree with that. they're These are not their kind of people. Yeah. To want to be in a secret society. Right. But it is interesting like that website Sean has up, it seems to be a legit like general secret societies website and it has these guys on there. Well, they got to be kind of legit. I'm looking real creepy. Oh, yeah. There's that video.
00:57:11
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That is pretty creepy. Also, who filmed that?
00:57:18
Speaker
Because it's like from the middle, down the middle of the... Yeah, they're like looking down at the camera. Yeah. Like which member of their society was like, I'm going to record this for everybody.
00:57:28
Speaker
Yeah, that is an interesting question. don't know. And it did remind me of the Da Vinci Code flashbacks to the Secret Society meetings.
00:57:41
Speaker
They were kind of creepy. Yeah. And then, oh no, we're all spooked. There's someone one lurking outside the window. Who could it be? A monarch. It's just Lassie.
00:57:53
Speaker
And Sean has a lamp. Giant lamp. Oh my god. p Just in case. and Just in case, of course. And Lassie essentially wants to hire them, but without paying them.
00:58:06
Speaker
So I guess that would technically be called a favor. course, they really play with Lassie. Oh, yeah. Like when he first gets there, Sean is like, oh, we're about to do some scrapbooking. We need someone who can work the scallop scissors. Oh.
00:58:21
Speaker
yeah and Lasseter is like could you stop acting like an ass and Tom's like no like an ass increases my perception she didn't do that And then he's like having a hard time coming up, like coming out with what he wants to say. Sean's like, safe space.
00:58:42
Speaker
You're safe here. You're surrounded by men who love you. love you. Ambassador, I love you. And I just... Buying into the bit.
00:58:54
Speaker
It is such a... I just love moments where Gus is yeah just in the bit. Yeah. and yeah And just like roasting people just as much as Sean does.
00:59:07
Speaker
I love seeing that. Yeah. There's something endearing about it, even though it is so... Yeah, roasty.
00:59:17
Speaker
They really are ribbing Lassiter here. Yeah. But it's also kind of endearing because they're doing it together. Yeah, they have such a shorthand. but But and it's also like affectionate, you know. They wouldn't mess with Lassie if they didn't love him.
00:59:30
Speaker
Oh, totally. Yes. I also loved that, you know, Laster was saying how I want you to do this, you know, under the radar. Sean goes into that whole, like, here is the actual ability of the Monarch Lodge. Here is me right under the radar.
00:59:45
Speaker
Caca, caca, or whatever. Caca, caca, yeah. Me flying under it. Me flying under it. And then down here is Gus. He can't fly.
00:59:56
Speaker
Just, of course, Gus has to be there, but Gus can't fly, yeah. um Oh, so funny. And then Sean gets inducted into the lodge. how he's going to fly under the radar. That's how he's going to fly under the radar. And guess what? He's wearing red because he's replacing Henry.
01:00:13
Speaker
Whoa! What?
01:00:16
Speaker
and I love that cut, too. Oh, yeah. Just from the office into that where, like, Sean looking proudly with his cloak. Yes, stoic and...
01:00:28
Speaker
Yeah, he really feels like he's done something, you can tell. And, I mean, a good cover when you think about it. He's a legacy. Get him on the inside. Yep, totally able to get around wherever he needs to go.
01:00:41
Speaker
he ends up snooping and and finding that the the lodge donates to a lot of charities. i do love that bit, too, where they're like... Computers for Yeah, computers for kids, clothing for kids, and...
01:00:54
Speaker
cars for kids or something hey they cars for kids yeah whatever it is got and like they're so like you know their their main thing that they do it seems is philanthropy and he' yeah why would they commit murder and sean's like well maybe it was for the kids who knows one never knows and then yeah we get to see more of gus sales reptitude yes And I love Sean helping him by saying yeah he once removed a boil from his own thigh using a paperclip and a can of Sprite.
01:01:35
Speaker
Everybody's just like, okay. Which I feel like is often the reaction with yeah silly jokes like that. All right then. Which, again, i guess the question we we talked about this at some point, but the question becomes, are ah people making or but people having that reaction because that's just such a strange thing to say? Are they having that reaction because they don't understand the reference?
01:01:57
Speaker
Are they having that reaction because like Sean and Gus's brains just move like so much faster? faster like there could be so many so many different i mean this particular one i feel like it's just so off the wall that they're like what are you talking about and he says it so fast and nonchalantly and it's i mean yeah it would be hard to have a conversation with sean it would be hard to keep up with that it's similar yeah i think we've we've said this before similar to how i imagine ah conversation with lorelei gilmore would go oh yeah you'd like oh yeah they're kindred spirits for sure oh yeah totally
01:02:31
Speaker
And Lassie calls Sean from the car. so Sean's like, you're calling me a day after our first date? You really are out of practice. Cute. you Yeah, cute.
01:02:44
Speaker
And then a motorbike goes by. and Yes. sean hears it And then he hears it through the phone. Yes. And he has this little, he has this cute little stance where he's like, are you staking me out or something?
01:03:01
Speaker
Yeah.
01:03:03
Speaker
I can sense her right around the corner. And I love that Lassie was like, oh, nope, he's not going to find me. Oh my gosh. Very quickly kind of juggles to put the car in gear. And then, nope, there, Sean.
01:03:17
Speaker
And they end up big after, you know, a begrudging Lassiter tries to prevent Sean from listening into a phone call, Jules ends up calling and Sean ends up getting some of the details of the talk support that they got from the victim.
01:03:35
Speaker
i love that moment too, where, um, Because Lassie's excuse for not being there is that he's at lunch. And yeah and then Sean starts talking and Jules is like, you're at lunch with Sean.
01:03:48
Speaker
She's like so tickled by this. hu Which, yeah, fair, because I can only imagine what he says to Jules about Sean. Oh, my gosh, yeah. But we find out that the tox reports are kind of weird on speakerphone from Jules, which she's also like, I'm on speaker. What's happening?
01:04:07
Speaker
um Strange because they have the the guy has the venom similar to a Brazilian vine snake in his system. And they're like, what?
01:04:19
Speaker
How could that possibly be? Yes. Which is, it's fun how ridiculous they all find this because I feel like in another crime show that would be like.
01:04:30
Speaker
Normal. Yeah. It wouldn't blink at all. Yeah. Yeah, or it would just, it would be like, huh, but they would just take it. But they're like, it couldn't possibly be that.
01:04:41
Speaker
This is Santa Barbara. I feel like there are also other way more fantastical things that have happened on the show that they're just like, yep, okay. That's true. Let's go. but Brazilian vine snake.
01:04:54
Speaker
Maybe the real thing that they're like weirded out about is the fact that there didn't seem to be anything wrong with him. That's true. Yeah. And maybe also like the demographic of these people, like none of these people, like it's not like they're at the zoo or anything.
01:05:14
Speaker
Yeah, there's no reason for there to be a snake yeah venom in this person's body. There's also no snake bites or injection sites. So like how, I guess the question is maybe how did that happen?
01:05:27
Speaker
Or why is that so weird? And Lasseter like essentially yells at Jules and tells her to do it again. Like yeah do the talk supports again. And then makes the breaking up on the phone noise. Which ah which I always think is so funny.
01:05:42
Speaker
And he looks so proud of himself. Oh, of course he does. Of course. That was a great way to get out of that conversation without Jules being any of the wiser.
01:05:55
Speaker
And then Henry finds out that Sean's been going to the lodge, which he is very unhappy about. And Sean tries to tell Henry that, like, it's okay because he's working with the police, but this doesn't really make Henry feel any better.
01:06:11
Speaker
And he mentions to Henry the snake, but how there are no wounds or issues on the body. And then Henry goes, so we're looking for an invisible snake. And then Sean and Gus both point to each other like,
01:06:24
Speaker
Are we looking him this point? I know. I wrote that down, too. I love how they, like, just mess with Henry, too. Yeah. Oh, of course. They have to. Because, you know, Gus is, like, Sean's extension.
01:06:37
Speaker
So if Sean messes with Henry, Gus has got to mess with Henry. And Gus is essentially, like, you know, Henry's pseudo-child. So... Where do we go? Oh, we go to Parker's Warehouse.
01:06:48
Speaker
Oh, yeah, with the ah sales raptitude. Yes. So with Holstrom dying... Parker, last name Parker.
01:07:00
Speaker
don't remember his first name. he was like Irving. Irving. Irving Parker, who is Lassie's soon-to-be or future former ex-father-in-law.
01:07:12
Speaker
Future former father-in-law, whatever. yeah um He becomes the like grandmaster of the place. He's the next in line. so they go to parker's warehouse to see if they can find out any information and i love that gus was like i got this sean like i'm gonna i'm gonna get us in like my sales rep to dude he gives us the good nose flick as we walk inside and we turn the tables gus plays the sidekick gag and he says he's burton guster this is my sidekick or associate william zane
01:07:47
Speaker
And and i love how Sean's just like, really? Like, not into it. Not paying any attention. Not playing into the bit at all. He's just doing Sudoku.
01:07:58
Speaker
Yeah. He's watching the woman play Sudoku and helping her with the game. He's bored. I guess he's, yeah, just like, if he's not doing the thing. Yeah, Sean is not enjoying the sales repitude, Gus.
01:08:13
Speaker
No. like Gus says something about flavor Sean's like this suck of flavor oh yeah he's just not on board no he's not which is kind of it's interesting to see the tables turned and Sean be so unwilling to play into the bit yeah when Gus is always so for it and maybe it's just you know he doesn't like the role reversal where he's like not in control but yeah probably not yeah maybe he doesn't also like like Gus being
01:08:47
Speaker
Just like salesman Gus. oh It's almost like his mistress. o His job mistress. Yeah. Oh, that's fair because he's yeah having to do the thing that Sean doesn't want him to do because it interferes with yeah the company.
01:09:03
Speaker
Yeah, fair. Yeah. But I feel like Sean is also supportive ultimately. So maybe he's just annoyed. And Gus is laying and on really thick. Could just be having a bad day.
01:09:15
Speaker
Yeah. One never knows. I don't know. I feel like there is something a little off of about Sean. Because I feel like he's having fun with everything else. Everybody else.
01:09:27
Speaker
I guess it is like just what we've talked about. Like him not being in control of these situations. Gus yeah kind of taking over. He's not so comfortable also this wasn't his idea going in because he's like might i suggest coming back and breaking in later or something like that yeah and no gus was just like i've got it don't worry yeah it's gonna be okay So yeah, that that could be. He was just kind of off-put by the fact that he didn't want to actually do this, but Gus kind of made them do it. Uh-huh.
01:10:01
Speaker
That would make sense. Yeah. Yeah. So Gus just like kind of taking control. he's not And to be fair, he just but does a good job. He really schmoozes this lady. He does.
01:10:13
Speaker
Yeah. like yeah Yeah. It goes so well. And that makes it funnier when he tries the same thing later and it goes so poorly. Yeah. And I think that speaks a lot to like we've said before how sean part of one of sean's superpowers is that he's just really good at reading people and really good at dealing with people and he sean likely would have played these two women very differently but this plays them exactly the same because it worked first time so won't it work yeah yeah gus kind of has one gear yeah in terms of the sales rep to two schmoozer guy
01:10:47
Speaker
indeed that's fun yeah that's very true um so yeah they talked to irving for a minute uh well they don't really they just get yelled at by him yeah mostly which i mean fair i would have also been like what what are you doing here yeah I don't know you.
01:11:06
Speaker
It's a fine cover, I guess, to like be like, oh, we need, i want we want Gus to get in. want to know if you have any pointers. That's kind of their cover, but it's like, of course he doesn't. He hates you and hates you being in the club. and yeah Yeah, so he sends them on their way pretty quickly.
01:11:26
Speaker
But what we've caught is that there's a bunch of Brazilian airport codes on the different packages inside of the warehouse. So Sean thinks, okay, Brazilian mind snake, Brazilian airport codes. And I love that Gus is like, how do you know that?
01:11:43
Speaker
I lived in an airport for a month. It's like, that was Tom Hanks in the terminal.
01:11:50
Speaker
what and Yeah, I love that. Because of all the crazy things that Sean has done, like, that's not out of the question. No. actually did that. But the fact that Gus knows, no, you didn't.
01:12:01
Speaker
Stop lying. Yeah, it's so funny. And I love that about Sean. Like, just, I don't know. I love bits like that. Conflating a movie with your real life. Yeah. Oh, yeah. um Oh, yeah. And then they go to the police station.
01:12:23
Speaker
Right? Yeah. And Sean's talking to Lassie and unfortunately has to break it to him that they've got a pretty good suspect and it's Irving.
01:12:34
Speaker
Which Jules brings him in, right? That's the reveal. Yeah. Sounds like lastsie kind of distracting him but kind of not distracting him. Yeah. It's kind of similar to Gus's dad may have killed an old guy that moment where they...
01:12:49
Speaker
Yes, exactly. And I love the little bit when he's talking to them about how Irving is your future former father-in-law. have written down. yeah, read it.
01:13:03
Speaker
That makes your father-in-law my brother, which makes me your uncle-in-law. It's going to get especially awkward around the holidays.
01:13:12
Speaker
So silly. Oh, because I think this was also the moment where Sean breaks it to Lassie that he's a member Oh, that he's in the lodge. Yeah, and Lassie. but That's one thing about Lassie. like we've We've been talking about how this lodge is really not that cool for Sean and Gus because this is not the level of of power that intrigues them. But for Lassie, his ambitions are very much yes cream of the crap Santa Barbara. like He wants to be Santa Barbara police chief. He wants to be...
01:13:42
Speaker
in the monarch lodge um and so yeah it is it really hits lassie hard that sean of course has one of them again in getting into this lodge so easily yeah that's interesting do we ever see him maybe it was earlier that they broke that damn but anyway yeah do we ever see lassie wanting more like the only time i feel like so far is with the the Psy versus Psy episode where we have the m that one guy that one creepy guy that I don't like what was his name doesn't matter him yeah him and you know he had the to the the nice suit right exactly it kind of seemed like maybe that was intriguing to Lassie but I feel like we never actually heard that vocalized that he wanted anything more than
01:14:32
Speaker
Yeah, that's an interesting question. Because, like, yeah, he gets excited about, like, the tech that they don't have. Like, 21 St. Cent less. I feel like that comes up a little bit, too. Like, they're very excited about the future of law enforcement. But, um yeah, I don't know. I feel like, well, Lassie is also, like,
01:14:57
Speaker
I think another aspiration of his is to be a family man. It's true. Yes. And so like, yeah, I feel like he does just kind of want to be the top in Santa Barbara and live there and have, um, get married, have kids maybe.
01:15:22
Speaker
Like, I feel like that's just what he wants. Yeah. Yeah. That's fair. Yeah. Still a very good ambition. Oh, yeah. No, I mean, he is very ambitious.
01:15:33
Speaker
Yeah. um And we see that a lot. I feel like sometimes to his detriment. ah Certainly. yeah um But yeah, I don't think he's thinking like national or anything.
01:15:48
Speaker
Yeah. That's fair. um So, yeah. And then he says he's going the questioning, which I also thought was interesting because Lassie tends to be pretty by the book.
01:16:01
Speaker
Yes, but in this is definitely not. Yeah. And la O'Hara says it's against policy. Right, right.
01:16:12
Speaker
Because they're related. um not
01:16:16
Speaker
um But Lassie really wants to do it.
01:16:21
Speaker
Yeah, this is very personal for him. and And she said that from the beginning. She's kind of pushed back on his interest in this from the beginning because it is very obviously very personal to him.
01:16:35
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Not even tangentially. Very clearly, yeah, this is his father-in-law. We all know it. Yeah, he's pretty emotional about it. Yeah, and yeah and his father-in-law is explicitly...
01:16:50
Speaker
mean to him and yeah talks a lot of crap about him and stuff so yeah yeah it's quite i mean he he even ends up having his his ex call the station oh yeah yeah that is a great moment too yeah and they're like bickering on the phone yeah no this isn't because i want the barbecue yeah i wrote that down too yeah it's a great line and uh Yeah, it is really a family affair, I suppose. um Yeah. your part Everyone's kind of involved.
01:17:19
Speaker
And but Lassie is really insistent that he doesn't think it was Parker. Yeah. He thinks Parker is incapable. Yes. Just workshop it or whatever it is you do. Yeah. Which, again, is funny.
01:17:33
Speaker
Thinking of the Christmas episode when they were very careful to like um arrest Gus's parents when they were not looking and stuff and like you know and Gus I mean not so much Lassie and Jules but like Henry was really challenging Sean about being objective um in that kind of situation yeah um and so it's interesting to see this kind of flipped where it's Lassie being very sure
01:18:03
Speaker
that this man who he doesn't like. Yeah. And I even questioned like how well does he actually know him? I mean, we don't get very much background. Yeah. last he And his wife, but Does he know him well enough to absolutely?
01:18:17
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, do you, or so does one know anyone well enough to say that? Yeah, no. I mean, maybe Lassie would feel he has a certain expertise in that as a. Oh, sure. Yeah. Detective, but. um But still.
01:18:30
Speaker
But yeah. But I feel like ultimately what it comes down to is he just wants to clear him for his wife and to show that. you know like it seems like he has been trying their whole relationship to earn this guy's favor yeah to yeah prove himself in some way yeah which it was interesting when we do eventually get to the interrogation room and this guy's being i mean pretty rude to lassie honestly and yeah and i understand there's a
01:19:08
Speaker
you know dual relationship here yeah it's very personal for both of them very so he's really not treating lassie like a cop or like a detective or like the person in charge or like someone interrogating him treating him like his son-in-law and who he doesn't like who he doesn't like yeah and and lassie essentially ends up saying like cut the shit and im I'm interrogating you. You're going to answer my questions and you're going to leave when I tell you leave. And that's going to be it. And then he actually seems to kind of
01:19:41
Speaker
yeah step back a little bit yeah it kind of seems like he's the kind of guy who was like waiting for that yeah i thought the same yeah like waiting for him to stand up to him which yeah i feel like is such a weird ah another like yeah yeah feel like masculine weirdness yeah yeah but he does it and then um you know we what do we find out Well, he answers the questions
Holstrom's House Break-In and Investigation
01:20:06
Speaker
finally. Oh, yes.
01:20:07
Speaker
Which, just that he hasn't left the country and, or the last, which again he says, the last time I left the country was for your wedding. So we know that Lassie got married out of the country. Yeah, that's fun.
01:20:21
Speaker
I wonder where. And we also find out why Holstrom was next in line. Ah, yes. Which he essentially said that Holstrom asked him. Yeah. He was like like, go for it. Yeah.
01:20:33
Speaker
I don't care. Yeah. um And he ah Holstrom was this guy's, was Parker's friend. um Which I felt like that was a,
01:20:45
Speaker
A nice detail because we hear a lot about how nobody likes Holstrom. And so it sort of yeah makes sense that these two very rough around the edges guys would be friends with each other. Yeah. And help each other out a little. Yeah. um Yeah, totally.
01:21:01
Speaker
It's nice to know that this man had a friend. We also have the boys going and breaking into Holstrom's house, which I love. Oh, wait before we go there.
01:21:13
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Sorry, we missed the um the portrait painting. Sean's portrait painting, which was just had some fun moments.
01:21:25
Speaker
Maybe you could paint some angry tigers or a puma lying prostrate at my feet. It's preposterous. Yes. And then like, he went for Gus and it's like, oh, maybe you can put Gus in mine. His head now in the mouth of a puma.
01:21:44
Speaker
yeah And the portraitist just staring blankly at them. Yeah. He's not amused by their antics. Yeah. And they get Oh, Sean asks where his portrait went or something. Because they took it down really fast. That was another thing.
01:22:02
Speaker
Yes. They just get the sense that nobody's really that broken up about this guy getting murdered. Yeah. um And the portrait painter says that all of his things were taken to his house.
01:22:13
Speaker
Oh, and that's where they go to the house. There you go. That makes sense. And I love, i just can't with the bit of them jumping in front of the bushes and the lights turning So funny. And they do it twice as if jumping slower in front of the bushes is not going to make the light turn So funny.
01:22:31
Speaker
um And they break into the house. There's a whole back and forth about it being unlocked or locked. Yeah, because Sean's very proud of having like broken in with a screwdriver. Gus is like, I think it was unlocked.
01:22:46
Speaker
Yeah. That was fun. They, of course, snoop. Love a good snoopage. yeah And they eventually make their way upstairs into I'm assuming it is like his personal study.
01:22:59
Speaker
And they're looking about when suddenly they hear someone trying to break in downstairs. And they're trying to act inconspicuous. And again, I was like,
01:23:10
Speaker
and then also like gusping like did you lock the door and john's like i locked the door and then i love the moment of like then because it could be anybody i guess just walking in the door like they don't know they are the ones they're the wrong but then they hear glass breaking right and john's like to see you they had to break a window burn And then, yeah, they start doing some ridiculous hiding. Oh my gosh. behind like What do you call that thing that puffs air a fireplace?
01:23:40
Speaker
One of those things. Yeah, there is a word for it. And just sitting in a chair. or putting their arms across the fireplace as if that's inconspicuous. They eventually get under the desk, which is, yes, totally the best hiding place.
01:23:55
Speaker
And whoever broke into the house ends up ransacking the office. Yeah, like... What was the goal? I mean, to find a ledger. ledger yeah but I mean, yeah he was, like, ridiculous in how destructive he was.
01:24:13
Speaker
just like As if someone wouldn't notice. It was almost like he wanted to stage ransacking the place. It was like, you did not need to do all that. Yeah, that's true.
01:24:24
Speaker
And it's not even like he... looked that hard no just like grabbed some things threw papers everywhere broke stuff and then left yes totally which is yeah very bizarre but maybe he was thinking holstrom wasn't i mean it seems like no one really had a very high opinion of holstrom so maybe he thought that it wouldn't have been all that difficult to find and he just got frustrated and left of yeah i don't It seems like that would be more incriminating, though, because then it's like, then they're going to be like, so so oh, somebody was looking for something. There was something to look for. Right. ah Like, creates this whole other line of investigation that. yeah
01:24:59
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. He was not particularly smart about this. Yeah. But Sean, while they are also not being very inconspicuous under the desk. Yeah. Just, I mean, like, kicking and yeah making noises.
01:25:13
Speaker
Sean notices a speck on the intruder's shoes. A distinctive white speck. And then the intruder maybe gets spooked by their sounds and leaves.
01:25:26
Speaker
I don't know what set him off, but... I don't know.
01:25:31
Speaker
Here's my next question. So we get out from under the desk, and Sean notices a safe. Now, was the safe hidden beforehand? And he... and I think it was hidden. I think they didn't see it before. and The intruder found the safe but couldn't get into it.
01:25:45
Speaker
Because there was like dents on it. Like as if he tried to pry it open. Okay, fair enough. I feel like the ransacking happens really fast. But I feel like in in TV... and tv time but In episode time, it was probably longer than that.
01:25:59
Speaker
Yeah, that's fair. And yeah, I think he we didn't really see him work on the safe. I guess reveal had to be when they came out. Yeah, okay, that that makes sense. I think that's what confused me. He didn't seem like he got to that side of the room. but Yeah, but it's all scuffed up, so. Yeah, yeah, it does look like someone tried to pry it open. Uh-huh.
01:26:19
Speaker
And it is identified by Guster, safe-cracking Gus, as a Martin 16. He can't break into it. It's just not possible. I can't crack that to Martin 16. can't crack that. And then Sean's like, you're 36 months into a yeah subscription to Modern Safe Cracker magazine. What's the point?
01:26:36
Speaker
Yeah. Time to go pro, fingers. Twist it up. So good. And Gus tries. He gives a good a good effort. An incredible pre-safe cracking routine. Yes.
01:26:49
Speaker
Oh my gosh, so good. Pumping himself up. Yeah. Flicking his jacket and taking deep breaths and stuff. One's got to be in the zone. Very silly. And Sean notices that nearby there is a portrait of a woman right and guesses that the code to the safe is going to be her measurements, which he guesses is 36, 24, 36, which 24, that tiny.
01:27:14
Speaker
Holy good Lord.
01:27:18
Speaker
chinese yeah good lord
01:27:22
Speaker
But that doesn't open the safe, sadly. And Gus puts on, like, slick Gus. And he's like, you know, Sean. We're kind estimating. Yeah.
01:27:33
Speaker
And he says, it's not 36-24-36. It's 36-24-38. ah And that opens the safe. Where inside they find some ledgers and figure out that they're cooking the books.
01:27:49
Speaker
Yes. A doctor was. Which Gus recognizes by the doctor handwriting. And then there were post-its from Holstrom indicating where he saw discrepancies.
01:27:59
Speaker
Right. Yes. And I look at the end of this Gus is like, or so Sean's like, how certain are you? And Gus was 85%. He goes, well, we've gone off of less.
01:28:10
Speaker
We've gone on much like um
01:28:16
Speaker
Yeah. And then I think maybe this is when the interrogation is cause I have a note that's get them Lassie. Yeah. I think they, yeah, they kind of like jump back and forth.
01:28:28
Speaker
Yeah. um And then Sean and Gus are like going to all the doctors to see if they can find anything incriminating.
01:28:39
Speaker
hu And they found nothing and Sean's whining again. And he's tired of looking at Highlights Magazine. They always hide the apple in the bike.
01:28:50
Speaker
know. i was like, man, Highlights Magazine is from girl back. I was like, I haven't thought about that forever. um But a great doctor's office lobby reference. Yes, totally. And he's also writing about the like where they parked on the hill, which.
01:29:05
Speaker
Yes. I wonder if that was like an improv or something. I don't know. Probably. Like right into the script it needed to be on a hill. Yeah. Oh, god yeah. I bet that was. Yeah, it's a good point. bet that was probably an improv.
01:29:17
Speaker
Yeah. And then we get back in. So now we're at Downs' office. Yes. Dr. Downs. Which was one of the like the main ones Gus wanted to ah get in with.
01:29:28
Speaker
And one of the other high ranking members in the society. His picture was on the wall. We said Gus tries to smooth, smooth, smooth.
01:29:39
Speaker
What? He tries to be smooth by schmoozing. That was tough. The receptionist, and it does not work. He fails miserably, but it doesn't really matter because he's distracting her for Sean to get into the back office. goes low and just sneaks back there.
01:29:56
Speaker
Yep. And ends up finding a bunch of really great clues. He matches the handwriting from the ledger. remember the moment where he like stops for a second to weigh himself and then he's like, of course not. and Now's not the time to be silly.
01:30:12
Speaker
um what else did he find he finds like ah gloves that have a very distinctive texture to them and finds some very distinctive handwriting in one of the books in Downs' office so they end up getting out and calling Jules and he spots that news article oh yes about the powdered vaccines and Yeah, and when they come into the office. and's a bunch of yeah Yeah, photos of his, like, travel work in other countries.
01:30:47
Speaker
Yeah. Like, Brazil, maybe, or something. Maybe.
01:30:56
Speaker
So, yeah, so they're running out. They call, they're supposed to call Lassie, but they call Jules. And... they make their way to the launch too yeah right i mean that i feel like that fits like that yeah well i did wonder if maybe she was just answering his phone oh because he was driving yeah yeah and then we get another great moment of like that's when lassie like goes really fast like yeah rips the car yeah and this is also um
01:31:28
Speaker
I don't know if it's the first time we see that shot, like down down that curve. Oh. Right there. But that becomes like a really distinctive scenic shot of Santa Barbara for the show.
01:31:39
Speaker
and every time I see it, I'm always just like, so sweet, you know? I did. I noticed that the Santa Barbara feeling of this episode was great. Like when they were walking to the doctors and stuff, like it looked sunny. It looked yeah beachy. Yeah. Yes.
01:31:54
Speaker
Yeah. It did look very warm and inviting.
01:32:01
Speaker
So they get to the lodge. Another ceremony going on. are there I don't know if they just... where No, are they swearing in Irving? I think so. That's what it seemed like.
01:32:12
Speaker
Because he was like sitting on a throne-y kind of thing. And... Sean starts nutshelling about... And I love what's going on. It's a great nut showing.
01:32:25
Speaker
Well, first, I mean, he says he was murdered, which it seems like none of them knew. Realized. Yeah. Which is funny. i But they were really checked out. Yeah.
01:32:36
Speaker
And maybe that's why they weren't concerned. Maybe they were just like, he was old. He died. Yeah. Maybe that is true. He was like, oh, we were waiting for this. Right. Oh, well, you know, now that God.
01:32:49
Speaker
Now that you say that, Parker at one point did say something like, he wasn't going to be there long, so I thought just let him. Yeah, that's true. He had health issues.
01:32:59
Speaker
Yes. So maybe this was anticipated. Yeah. they were yeah Too shocked. Yeah. But I love the height of that moment and then Sean going into,
01:33:11
Speaker
Yeah.
01:33:14
Speaker
and I mean, it's quite foreboding. It is. And he's just like very quietly, slowly going around the circle. oh um And then he calls out Dr. Downs.
01:33:27
Speaker
Yeah, he has these very fun... like Every line that he says is preempted by the... of So good. and Like a weird phrase of... By the shores of Kichikube. Making very yeah yeah Yeah. By the shores of Kichikube. Yeah.
01:33:42
Speaker
the eye of Hathor by the halls of Matasuma.
01:33:48
Speaker
I also like the moment where he was talking about like all like sort of amazed about like who knew that like vaccines work in this way and then all the doctors are like i did yeah right
01:34:05
Speaker
which maybe he was like obviously it's sean he could have just been joking that he didn't know that but i do also think it's kind of interesting that he was literally talking about a like a venom Yeah.
01:34:16
Speaker
So maybe that was what it was for him. Not that like vaccines work this way, but like, oh, this was literally poison from yeah snake that in small doses could cure a thing. Like that seems kind of odd, but yeah, that was funny for them to all be like, we all knew that you dumb dumb.
01:34:33
Speaker
hey
01:34:35
Speaker
Great nutshelling. And then Jules and Lassie arrive. And it was funny that Sean went through all the nutshelling. I kind of, it, The way it's set up, it almost seems like and it'll be like the planetarium one. Like, they'll let Lassie do it.
01:34:50
Speaker
But Sean just says, it's all thanks to the intrepid police work of Carlton Lassiter. Yeah. Yeah.
01:35:01
Speaker
Well, wonder how much they told on the phone to Jules. Yeah. You know, because if they didn't lay the whole case out, then Lassie wouldn't really be able to explain it. um But it is funny that like everybody just accepts that it's because of Lasseter that they solved this case, even though Sean does yeah the whole reveal.
01:35:22
Speaker
Yeah. But I love how Sean's like SBPD's own high most patriarch. So cute. He likes him. Gives him a little smack on the butt. Oh, yeah. And runs away.
01:35:33
Speaker
Some good chassis. Yeah. And then Lassie gets his moment. Yeah. It is nice to see Lassie get a win. Yeah. And like...
01:35:46
Speaker
Irving, who's been so mean to him, only being like, maybe we can let you into the club, and then Lassie's so happy. yeah And it's one of those things where it's like, we all know this is dumb, but Lassie's happy about it.
Conclusion and Familial Bonds
01:36:00
Speaker
Yeah, totally. Yes, all we really care about is Lassie being happy. Yeah. ah And then we go back. Is it at the office? Yeah, I think it is, right? Yeah.
01:36:13
Speaker
Henry's back. And he shows up. They're weekend. He's let's go. And he didn't tell Sean at all that he was rescheduling this. No. I canceled. I felt bad. course not yeah let's just go and Sean's like can't do an important business stuff which is playing Tetris yes and Henry's kind of like I'm gonna go if you want to come you can if you don't want to you don't have to but I'm gonna go anyway and Sean just wants to know why Henry decided to leave the lodge and he asks him for some man candor so funny which I thought was really funny yeah and then I didn't write down the specifics of it is yeah man candor
01:36:52
Speaker
Yeah. And also plays into, I feel, the, you know, we've been talking again about masculinity, as we often do. Yeah. Here you
01:37:02
Speaker
And then Henry henry reveals some truths, which was along the lines of, my marriage was falling apart and I made a choice. I left the lodge because I realized the only thing that mattered was so my family.
01:37:13
Speaker
Yeah, the only club worth belonging to or something like that. Like, ugh. The most important membership. i don't know. Yeah, whatever it was. Very sweet. Yeah, Henry, he is a big ol' softy.
01:37:26
Speaker
Yes. Deep down. Deep down under that rough exterior. And to make it even more wholesome, we go into the next room and find out that the boys stole the portraits of Sean and Henry.
01:37:41
Speaker
and Sean's not sticking around the club either. Nope. We didn't want to belong to a club that would have Lasseter as a member. Yeah, fair enough. He didn't even really want to belong to this club anyway, and now Lassie's there, so definitely doesn't want to belong.
01:37:56
Speaker
But yeah, the they're going to be up in the office, and I'm pretty sure we do get glimpses of them throughout the rest of the series. Yeah. So we'll keep our eyes peeled for some lodgeport.
01:38:08
Speaker
It's definitely very familiar, like the portrait of Henry, I feel like, is especially familiar. i agree. Yeah. So, yeah. We'll have to pay attention when we see those. Yeah, we'll keep an eye out.
01:38:19
Speaker
Yeah, and Henry's like, oh, because they say he can keep his if he wants. And he's like, no, yeah leave it there. Yeah. It's cute that they're together. it's really cute. In his detective agency, you know. Yeah.
01:38:32
Speaker
Like, coming from, like, Henry confessing, like, how just being a part of their family was important to him. And then, like, going to the... this like monument that John is putting in place, John and Gus are putting in place to that legacy and that family. It's like so sweet. And you can tell like with Henry's little face.
01:38:54
Speaker
Yeah. And really this like very secret club also, when you think about it. Yeah. The two of them. Yeah, they are the true secret society. Yeah. like No one else other than the two of them and Henry at this point. Yeah. Yeah.
01:39:09
Speaker
know what's going on. so That is very true. Put Henry on the wall is like swearing him into secret society, if you will. Yeah. Psych.
01:39:20
Speaker
The secret psych-ciety. Yeah.
01:39:24
Speaker
Another t-shirt. Okay. Well, up next. Okay. Very excited. Black and tan. A crime of fashion. good.
01:39:36
Speaker
yeah This one... I feel like this one is so fun for like so many different reasons. So true. And fun for, feel like almost different reasons than we've seen so far. If you know what I mean? Yeah.
01:39:49
Speaker
It is just total and utter buffoonery. Like I, yeah I feel like because they go into this already pretty like eccentric, eclectic world, it just tunes them up to the nth degree.
01:40:05
Speaker
Yeah, and it's fun to see them interact with others just as kind of weird as they are, but in different ways. Yeah, and I'm thinking he like kind of going off as like a continuum of this episode, like we see Gus kind of being little on his game more than Sean yeah again. Oh, that's a great point.
01:40:27
Speaker
So that's fun. Yeah, Gus is going to get all the attention. Yeah. Sean is in an interesting situation. Yeah. One who's not used to, that's for sure.
01:40:40
Speaker
Yeah. Well, I'm very excited. i feel like this is another one of the iconic episodes. I would agree. i Yeah, I feel like there are a lot of very staple moments in this next episode.
01:40:53
Speaker
Shall we have
01:40:56
Speaker
