Speaker 1: I recently went to my mom's house for a visit,
Speaker 1: and a few years ago, and by a few years ago,
Speaker 1: I mean probably a decade or more, A few times
Speaker 1: a few I my mom gave me all of my
Speaker 1: boy Meets World stuff that she still held on too,
Speaker 1: like all the teen magazines, all of my photo albums
Speaker 1: with you know, TGI Friday dates and you know me
Speaker 1: and Andrew Keegan, me and every guest star cute boy that
Speaker 1: came around who I went to Islands with, Like I,
Speaker 1: she gave me all of that stuff, and so a
Speaker 1: lot of it's very cool, Like I have an original
Speaker 1: copy of my calendar that I did in nineteen ninety six,
Speaker 1: and I have my posters, and like I mentioned, all
Speaker 1: the teen magazines where my mom put little post it
Speaker 1: note tabs in them with all my friends that were
Speaker 1: in there. So the writer will Jonathan Andrew, you know,
Speaker 1: really cute. And so I don't think often when I
Speaker 1: go to my mom's house that there's gonna be stuff
Speaker 1: from my childhood that she still wants to give me.
Speaker 1: But this time I walk in, we're sitting there talking,
Speaker 1: she goes, oh, by the way, I found something I
Speaker 1: thought you might want to have and I go what
Speaker 1: is it? And she comes out with this.
Speaker 2: Is that the hair you cut off?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 1: It's my hair from the initial chop I did on
Speaker 1: the hair cutting episode. It's the Actually, it's the one
Speaker 1: from where I grabbed it and did that ane shall chop.
Speaker 1: It's that handful. And from this pile is what we
Speaker 1: then gave away to people in the audience.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, im that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember you giving some out to the audience,
Speaker 3: but I thought you gave it all the way.
Speaker 2: I can't believe you have.
Speaker 1: An I have the chunk. I have the biggest chunk.
Speaker 4: What are you going to do with it?
Speaker 1: I have absolutely no idea. I'll tell you that. What
Speaker 1: I did was I put that baggie in this baggie
Speaker 1: that says hair from Boy Meets World haircut because I
Speaker 1: suggestions stumble around.
Speaker 2: Interesting take. I was gonna say, charity auction, charity auction,
Speaker 2: auction it off for charity. You know how many people would.
Speaker 1: Do Those whoever buys that, what do they do with it?
Speaker 2: Do your care?
Speaker 3: As long as charity gets gets with all the money
Speaker 3: people the hair. If you think with the amount of
Speaker 3: fans we've seen, do you not think Topanga first Chop
Speaker 3: haircut from arguably one of the most famous episodes we've
Speaker 3: ever had, would sell on the internet. That would be
Speaker 3: one of the things where we would look at each
Speaker 3: other going like, not because you can't believe it's up
Speaker 3: fourteenth it's fourteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: How is it at fourteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it wouldn't be because people want hair its because
Speaker 1: people would be like having the piece of history, and
Speaker 1: you would love to give the money to charity.
Speaker 2: It's TV history.
Speaker 3: When when Alan all his boots and and dog tags
Speaker 3: from mash came up for charity auction, I was like,
Speaker 3: maybe I'll have a shot.
Speaker 2: They went for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Or why didn't you have a shot?
Speaker 5: Will?
Speaker 1: Why didn't you?
Speaker 2: You did because I love eating every day just say.
Speaker 1: Charity So like having a roof over your head.
Speaker 2: Yes, TV stuff, I mean the nostalgia stuff, it's huge.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, I'll give you.
Speaker 4: I'm keep it.
Speaker 1: It's gonna say sit in the bag in my garage.
Speaker 4: Your kids are going to open it and be like
Speaker 4: until I die.
Speaker 1: And my kids are like, why did she leave us
Speaker 1: all this stuff to throw away and they gage, yeah.
Speaker 2: And then your kids would make a foodo.
Speaker 1: Doll listen as long as they summons me after I'm
Speaker 1: gone with the hair.
Speaker 2: By the way, that's not the right way to make
Speaker 2: a voodaell. You're totally off.
Speaker 1: How do you make a voded do?
Speaker 2: I can' I don't want to tell. I don't want
Speaker 2: to put out there on the internet. I don't want
Speaker 2: people to know.
Speaker 1: Dark web, dark web.
Speaker 2: I thought that was a real thing.
Speaker 3: By the way, what like like the dark web, like
Speaker 3: you had to like there was an address like www
Speaker 3: dot dark web dot com. Like I don't know anything.
Speaker 3: It doesn't dark web. Isn't that just kind of a
Speaker 3: catch all for just bad things?
Speaker 2: Dark web?
Speaker 1: No, it's an actual place.
Speaker 2: God, I don't even know the light web.
Speaker 1: Speaking of the dark web, a wrestler from the WWE,
Speaker 1: a guy named Shiloh Hill. I don't know why he
Speaker 1: was on the dark Web. I don't I truthfully do
Speaker 1: not know how one gets to the dark web. But
Speaker 1: it is another part of the web where it's harder
Speaker 1: or near impossible to trace things. So it's a place
Speaker 1: where nefarious.
Speaker 2: Sales and it's not your an alley on the web
Speaker 2: exactly Harry Potter, Okay, yes.
Speaker 1: And so this guy found a website that was selling shoes,
Speaker 1: and the weird thing about the shoes is that they
Speaker 1: were all stained with like a very dark substance. And
Speaker 1: then the shoes were all named something like a person's name,
Speaker 1: and sometimes they had the name and an age, so
Speaker 1: like Matt twenty eight, and then it would just be
Speaker 1: shoes covered in some disgusting substance. So this wrestler decided
Speaker 1: to purchase a pair of Cowboy boots because they were
Speaker 1: the only pair of shoes that were in his size.
Speaker 1: He's a size thirteen. He bought a pair of Cowboy
Speaker 1: boots from the dark Web and was like, honestly, the
Speaker 1: odds that these are actually gonna arrive are slimmed to none.
Speaker 1: I probably just got scammed out of money and I just,
Speaker 1: you know, gave money to somebody. But the boots did arrive.
Speaker 1: And then he got a black light and the spray
Speaker 1: you can use, and it tested positive for blood, and
Speaker 1: so the boots were covered in blood and all it
Speaker 1: has is somebody's name attached to it. So he was
Speaker 1: doing like Instagram's lives and stories kind of like following
Speaker 1: up and like, I don't know, I don't know. I yeah,
Speaker 1: I oh. When it came, I forgot massive part of
Speaker 1: the story. It came with a tape. The Boots arrived
Speaker 1: with a VHS tape.
Speaker 4: This sounds like some cool like escape room game or something.
Speaker 4: I like, I mean, it's just too good to actually
Speaker 4: be true. It was on what well did he watch
Speaker 4: the tape?
Speaker 1: I mean something, the full Web, the full Dark Web
Speaker 1: VHS is up, And then he said, if you are
Speaker 1: someone who gets creeped out, do not watch here.
Speaker 2: Well, I get creeped out today.
Speaker 5: If you are easily freaked out, don't watch it. There's
Speaker 5: a lot of weird stuff in there. Basically, it's just
Speaker 5: a bunch of messages and old movie clips pasted together,
Speaker 5: and then there are a bunch of slots called submissions,
Speaker 5: where just as like a name and submission, some of
Speaker 5: those submission spots have videos inside of them where the
Speaker 5: Boots are shown, and if those are real, they're pretty
Speaker 5: messed up. I now know why they asked for my name,
Speaker 5: because there's a slot with my name created in there,
Speaker 5: but there's no video in mind right here really bothered me.
Speaker 4: You are.
Speaker 5: Herman. I posted that to my subs only and someone
Speaker 5: said to rewind it, so I did that and it
Speaker 5: says this.
Speaker 2: The devil that.
Speaker 1: Things all around that room all.
Speaker 4: Night will take.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's just weird.
Speaker 5: I need to figure out if the clips of the
Speaker 5: shoe stuff is like real or fake, because if it's real,
Speaker 5: it's bad. People have realized some creepy stuff with the
Speaker 5: names of the submissions that got rejected are also the
Speaker 5: names that are on the site. That once more people
Speaker 5: watch it and kind of come up with more information,
Speaker 5: I'll post a full analysis. Until then, I probably watched
Speaker 5: this whole thing like nine or ten times. It's getting
Speaker 5: to the point now where when I hear people not
Speaker 5: talking and rewind it sounds weird. So I honestly need
Speaker 5: to take a break for a little bit. Also, I
Speaker 5: think it's unrelated. I got a skin infection on my leg,
Speaker 5: which I honestly don't think is from the boots, but
Speaker 5: I'm now on antibiotics.
Speaker 1: You don't think it's from the boots, you're actually.
Speaker 4: Wearing the boots, Like, why would you ever want to
Speaker 4: put those on?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: But when he said when he said there's then videos
Speaker 1: of the boots being that it's some.
Speaker 2: You guys just got ringed. You just got ringed on
Speaker 2: the dark Web.
Speaker 4: What amazons for you? He he pull find size thirteen
Speaker 4: in the world.
Speaker 1: Oh sure, sure, but he wouldn't have this kind of storytelling.
Speaker 4: But yeah, the story is great. I love it.
Speaker 1: They did take crypto. I didn't see that.
Speaker 2: I don't want you by with crypto. No, no, you
Speaker 2: just got ringed. The next video that comes out you
Speaker 2: you can have a slot. No, thank you.
Speaker 1: If you guys want to follow along. His instagram is
Speaker 1: Shiloh Underscore WWE. So I have been deeply invested anyway.
Speaker 1: Welcome to not the Dark Web. This is podmeets World.
Speaker 1: I'm Daniel Fishl.
Speaker 2: I'm right or strong, and I'm still so creeped out
Speaker 2: for dell you.
Speaker 1: So welcome to today's episode recap. We are recapping season six,
Speaker 1: episode seventeen, Resurrection. It originally aired February nineteenth, nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 1: The synopsis Corey struggles with his newborn brother's critical health condition,
Speaker 1: leading to tensions with Tapanga, who tries to support him
Speaker 1: as they await news of the baby's recovery. Also, Eric
Speaker 1: moves out of his apartment. It was directed by Jody
Speaker 1: Binstock her first episode. Hey, did she do more than one?
Speaker 4: I don't think so. Okay, but she was around for
Speaker 4: like since season five, I guess because she was following
Speaker 4: Jeff mccraften around and learning, and then she shot our
Speaker 4: opening credits.
Speaker 3: I was going to say, we talked about how she
Speaker 3: shot like all the cool stylized opening credits parts.
Speaker 2: Did she do the second version or just the first one?
Speaker 4: I don't remember. I know she was there for the
Speaker 4: first one and she had like an eight millimeter or
Speaker 4: sixteen milimeter camera. Yeah, but yeah, I don't remember she
Speaker 4: was there for the second one.
Speaker 1: It was written by Erica Montalfo. Burrah her first episode
Speaker 1: as well. No, yay, Yeah, she did.
Speaker 4: The poetic license. Yeah, so I think she was part
Speaker 4: of the team from the beginning of season six.
Speaker 1: She has said that she was. That's something we have
Speaker 1: to ask her when we interview her. She said she
Speaker 1: did three seasons. Oh, which means that she was there
Speaker 1: from season five, but she didn't have any scripts in
Speaker 1: season five.
Speaker 2: Interesting, So yeah, she's right. She wrote an ode to
Speaker 2: Holden Callfield.
Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah, so yeah, we want to ask her because
Speaker 1: maybe it's possible that her fellowship was season five, right,
Speaker 1: and then season six and seven she was an official
Speaker 1: writer on the payroll. Okay, so before I jump into
Speaker 1: our guest ours, do you guys want to share your
Speaker 1: overall thoughts.
Speaker 4: I mean, we are just we are in soap opera land.
Speaker 4: It's really really dramatic, really intense. I mean, lots of hospitals,
Speaker 4: three monologues.
Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody kind of gets one.
Speaker 4: Everyone gets a monologue. Yeah, it's a lot.
Speaker 2: It's a lot.
Speaker 4: It's a lot.
Speaker 2: It's a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I feel like this is just one
Speaker 4: of those episodes of Boy Meets World that you either
Speaker 4: love because it adds such a level of seriousness and
Speaker 4: intensity to a show that otherwise is you know, super fun,
Speaker 4: or like me, at this point, you're kind of sick.
Speaker 4: You're just like, can we just get back to the
Speaker 4: the fun stuff.
Speaker 3: Wasn't this the episode where because we felt memory serves
Speaker 3: that we felt the weight of this on the set too,
Speaker 3: where we had two or three in a row where
Speaker 3: we were like, dude, this is getting real and we
Speaker 3: voiced that during a note session and Michael got.
Speaker 2: Up and walked out.
Speaker 4: Yeah he really Yep.
Speaker 3: He wouldn't discuss because this was kind of based on
Speaker 3: his life. This is what happened to Joshua and Michael
Speaker 3: is obviously, as we'll get into is the is the
Speaker 3: man praying over the one of the niek you bast
Speaker 3: it's and so this was very near and dear to him.
Speaker 3: But we were I think, and we didn't we didn't
Speaker 3: come at it in a disrespectful way, but we were
Speaker 3: kind of clapping back a little bit where it's like,
Speaker 3: this is very heavy for multiple episodes in a row.
Speaker 2: And he just got up and left, just got up.
Speaker 2: He didn't say he walked out.
Speaker 4: He also became that rabbi character because of the pushback.
Speaker 4: Oh really really yeah, because it was in the script
Speaker 4: and we did our first run through and I remember Ben.
Speaker 4: I don't I don't remember saying much myself, but I
Speaker 4: remember Ben being like, this is just too much, and
Speaker 4: he was like voicing it during notes, and Michael was like,
Speaker 4: this really happened to me. There really was a rabbi
Speaker 4: in the hospital, and I'm not going to change it
Speaker 4: no matter what you say, so much so that I'm
Speaker 4: going to get in the costume and I'm going to
Speaker 4: play the part. It was like a big, like one
Speaker 4: optionman ship back to Ben like no, no, no, we're
Speaker 4: not changing it, and so I'm going to be the
Speaker 4: guy and so we were.
Speaker 2: Like, oh okay, and he was, man, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2: That's what I remember most about this week. And also lobster.
Speaker 2: I know, did you see it? No?
Speaker 1: I did. I saw it once. I saw it in
Speaker 1: the student union over Bill's shoulder. It's like in the
Speaker 1: refrigerating in the bakery cabinet, in the bakery cabinet, which
Speaker 1: I think is supposed to be like a refrigerated section, okay,
Speaker 1: and it's like right here in Bill's in Bill's.
Speaker 4: Shoulder, Ye, totally.
Speaker 3: And then in the boys apartment it's always hanging on
Speaker 3: the fridge. Okay, it's just it's I'm I look back
Speaker 3: now and I'm not gonna harp on it anymore.
Speaker 2: Go find it yourself. But it's distracting.
Speaker 1: Don't mind it being on the fridge at all. That
Speaker 1: feels like something that you could just Yeah, there was
Speaker 1: a magnet. They had a lobster magnet in the But
Speaker 1: when it was in the bakery case, I was like,
Speaker 1: why would there be.
Speaker 3: A lobster because it's just throwing it funny.
Speaker 2: By the way, I.
Speaker 3: Totally agree with Rider. It's just it's a it's a
Speaker 3: very heavy episode. Corey isn't very likable.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 3: I get why they're trying to not make them likable,
Speaker 3: but you know they want to turn. I thought the
Speaker 3: Shawn entrance was great because that's what he's looking for.
Speaker 3: But the idea that Corey has been this unlikable for
Speaker 3: several episodes and Tapang is the one that needs to
Speaker 3: change I found to be a little like, really, I couldn't.
Speaker 4: I couldn't track the logic of any of that, And
Speaker 4: I was like, hold my hand back to I like
Speaker 4: Tapega's like the conversations about Tapanga's character, and like I
Speaker 4: liked this idea that she's getting in touch with something,
Speaker 4: but I didn't. It didn't track for me. I wasn't like,
Speaker 4: what is the logic here? Like she needs to care
Speaker 4: about them in order to I really don't know.
Speaker 1: He fell in love with me because I was a distraction.
Speaker 1: I was a funny, quirky distraction from real life, and
Speaker 1: so whenever anything tough is going on for him, he
Speaker 1: just needs me to be his safe space, which involves
Speaker 1: dancing and lipstick on my face and anything other than
Speaker 1: that is not good enough and then like, yes, exactly
Speaker 1: what you said. The framing of it being like, well,
Speaker 1: I can't do that for you, and then Sean walking
Speaker 1: in and being like the one to do it for him.
Speaker 1: It's like, honestly, go Mary, Sean, y just do it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, it wasn't my favorite either. It's just yeah. And
Speaker 2: I didn't realize this is this is how Tommy starts.
Speaker 3: There's no kind of conversation, He's just there and this
Speaker 3: is the same I.
Speaker 1: Saw the exact same thing. I was like, wait, is
Speaker 1: this the first time we're seeing Tommy since Christmas, which
Speaker 1: was seven episodes.
Speaker 2: Ago something like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then all of a sudden he's just now
Speaker 3: he's with Eric. There was no like I'm going to
Speaker 3: go become a big brother or re meeting Tommy or something.
Speaker 3: There just have apparently been in each other's lives and
Speaker 3: we just didn't know it.
Speaker 1: I know it is.
Speaker 2: It was a weird episode for me.
Speaker 1: It was a weird episode for me, agreed. So guest
Speaker 1: starring McNally Sagel as doctor Taylor and then we have
Speaker 1: Donna Pontato as nurse. She also appeared on shows like
Speaker 1: Third Rock from the Sun, and Judging Amy. We have
Speaker 1: Sue Kremen as Karen. Sue is a common TV guest star,
Speaker 1: showing up on shows like Spin City, Homeland, and most
Speaker 1: recently Alaska Daily. We have Clarence A. Barnes as Paul
Speaker 1: and Michael Fairman is doctor Markman. Michael has had a
Speaker 1: prolific forty year career in Hollywood, with early stops on
Speaker 1: Charlie's Angels and eighteen episodes of Cagney and Lacy. However,
Speaker 1: he is best known as Patrick Murphy on The Young
Speaker 1: and the Restless and from movies like Dead Silence, Thirteen
Speaker 1: Days and David Lynch's Mulholland Drive.
Speaker 4: G B.
Speaker 1: Gaynor returns for his second appearance as Tommy. This is
Speaker 1: his second of three episodes. And Cameron and Corbyn Err
Speaker 1: are the infants who played baby Joshua Matthews in The Incubator.
Speaker 1: The twins would also play infants in the Baseball movie
Speaker 1: sixty one, and Cameron is credited also as moon Bounce
Speaker 1: Kid in Eddie Murphy's Norbit. Neither have acted in Debt Gates,
Speaker 1: but boy, I sure would like to find them. They
Speaker 1: are almost thirty now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is crazy crazy.
Speaker 3: They were great in this In sixty one it was trite, right,
Speaker 3: their their performance was trite in sixteen I think so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought they were pushing. It was like they
Speaker 2: knew who they were by that way. Yeah, baby, it
Speaker 2: was a little much.
Speaker 1: What kind of training do you even have? You know, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: very obvious.
Speaker 2: I didn't buy it. I didn't buy it totally.
Speaker 1: And then, as we mentioned, there is one other cameo,
Speaker 1: mister Michael Jacobs, but we will get into that later.
Speaker 4: Is he actually credited.
Speaker 3: Me?
Speaker 1: I didn't see it. I don't think so, not credited.
Speaker 1: It has lines, so it has two lines.
Speaker 2: Do you think he's sag?
Speaker 4: I mean he started as an actor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder if, Like I wonder if he's a
Speaker 2: sag actor.
Speaker 4: I mean you can't do a sag role.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd have to.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: They might have tasted heartleaed them that day, just we
Speaker 2: can maybe, I wonder.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 1: Jumping into our recap, we start in the hospital, Nick
Speaker 1: you boy, Matthews is in an incubator with a card attached,
Speaker 1: noting that he weighs only five pounds zero ounces. Sleep deprived,
Speaker 1: Amy and Allen are nervously waiting by the baby when
Speaker 1: doctor Taylor walks in. She introduces the Matthews to Charlie Markman,
Speaker 1: a ne natal pulmonary specialist who will be taking over
Speaker 1: their case. Amy's concerned, but doctor Taylor assures them that
Speaker 1: they are in good hands and she leaves. Alan asks
Speaker 1: the new doctor if their baby will die, and Amy
Speaker 1: emphatically states no, but doctor Markman admits, I don't know.
Speaker 4: He reveals it's a wow, I mean, so intense, so
Speaker 4: literally is the baby going to die? In the first scene. Also,
Speaker 4: going back to the last episode, I found it interesting
Speaker 4: that throughout this episode, Amy is like in a robe
Speaker 4: and acting like she's tired or like frail, like she's recovering,
Speaker 4: whereas in the last episode, immediately after a C section,
Speaker 4: she was like burkie and reading and happy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I like to keep in mind we're getting into possible
Speaker 3: dead baby three episodes after dead CHET, I know, two
Speaker 3: episodes after dead CHET. I mean it's like, what decided
Speaker 3: where in the arc of the season did they go,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 2: We need lots more death or possible death.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of such a strange choice,
Speaker 4: Like I just don't why, you know, I mean, why
Speaker 4: did Oneman's world go this route.
Speaker 3: It's really well because I mean I get I get
Speaker 3: them doing it with the baby, because Michael's writing what
Speaker 3: he knows. Okay, I get that, but coming right off
Speaker 3: the heels of Chet, it's just it's so much right
Speaker 3: in a row.
Speaker 1: As we know, the baby doesn't end up dying, and
Speaker 1: so it really kind of I surprise spoiler. It does
Speaker 1: kind of speak to like if you look at a
Speaker 1: life cycle, someone dies and then new life gets born
Speaker 1: and before that new life is fine. It could go
Speaker 1: either way, and so there's heaviness along the road, but
Speaker 1: it's not. If the baby died, I'd be like, what
Speaker 1: were they thinking? Why would they kill a baby? And
Speaker 1: chit within three episodes of each other.
Speaker 4: But we've also had Sean angela breakup. I know this
Speaker 4: whole season is sort of driven by tragedy well, and.
Speaker 1: It feels like very much like the last two episodes,
Speaker 1: with the amount of times Topanga has said sometimes things change,
Speaker 1: it feels very much like a motto or a theme.
Speaker 1: The whole theme for the show being that tragedy will
Speaker 1: eventually strike us all into in one capacity is.
Speaker 2: Really probable exactly Shama's big right now.
Speaker 1: So let me also, I don't want us to forget
Speaker 1: that there have been traumatic and tragic things that have
Speaker 1: happened in individual people's lives. So you know, there's lots
Speaker 1: of reasons, but it does feel certainly like a change
Speaker 1: of show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean to the point where and we'll get
Speaker 3: into this as we progress.
Speaker 2: The audience didn't know how to react. I know you
Speaker 2: heard them at times like should we cheer here? Do
Speaker 2: we not Shane's back?
Speaker 4: Do we yell?
Speaker 2: Like everything was There'd be two or three very long beats.
Speaker 3: Before there was a reaction from the audience because they
Speaker 3: they also didn't know what.
Speaker 2: To do, right.
Speaker 1: They were like, are we just supposed to sit here silently?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: What happens now? Do we laugh? Is okay to laugh
Speaker 2: at jokes? Like it was strange? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Well, he reveals that the baby has had a respiratory
Speaker 1: infection from an early loss of amniotic fluid. They're going
Speaker 1: to administer a course of antibiotics over the next ten days.
Speaker 1: By the way, babies have long issues and breathing anytime
Speaker 1: they're born, Like, your lungs developed last in the womb,
Speaker 1: So if you're anything more than like two weeks early,
Speaker 1: you are probably gonna have some sort of lung development
Speaker 1: development issue. As a matter of fact, of the reason
Speaker 1: Adler was when I when my water broke and I
Speaker 1: went to the hospital. The first thing they did was
Speaker 1: stop my contractions. They put me on Sonya magnesium to
Speaker 1: stop everything, and then they had to give me a
Speaker 1: series of steroid shots so that his it would speed
Speaker 1: up his lung development. So it doesn't just happened from
Speaker 1: the loss of amniotic fluid. It's also because the baby's
Speaker 1: seven weeks early. They're going to administer a course of
Speaker 1: antibiotics over the next ten days. Amy assumes that then
Speaker 1: they'll be able to bring him home after that, but
Speaker 1: doctor Taylor explains they will see where they are at
Speaker 1: that point and then woo in this bom mad's world,
Speaker 1: let me little jarring, not one laugh, Nope, not a
Speaker 1: one nope. Then we're in the hospital waiting room. To
Speaker 1: Penga sits next to Corey, cup of coffee in hand
Speaker 1: and looks extremely worried. Corey thinks everything's going to be okay,
Speaker 1: and to Panga says, I hope. So Corey's confused. What
Speaker 1: do you mean you hope? So you think something bad's
Speaker 1: gonna happen Tapanga reminds him that something bad has already happened.
Speaker 1: Corey admits, I know. I just want you to make everything.
Speaker 2: Better, okay, Doctor Lawrence.
Speaker 1: She wonders how she can do that, and he tells
Speaker 1: her to just be there with him. Tapega reminds him
Speaker 1: she's sitting right next to him, but Corey doesn't feel
Speaker 1: her like she is. I want us to be Corey
Speaker 1: and Topanga again, because then everything is okay. He holds
Speaker 1: out his hand and she asks how holding his hand
Speaker 1: will make everything better. He explains, I just want us
Speaker 1: to be the way we used to be. Valentine's Day
Speaker 1: used to be such a big deal to you.
Speaker 3: He's still talking about Valentin. Yeah, and I get what
Speaker 3: they're doing. I get he's supposed to be in denial
Speaker 3: of what's going on in the other room. Totally understand,
Speaker 3: but it doesn't come off well.
Speaker 1: Wolf Yeah to Panga is even more confused. Now, what
Speaker 1: does Valentine's Day have to do with this? Corey continues on,
Speaker 1: and I was the one who didn't want to hold hands,
Speaker 1: but you were the one who said that holding hands
Speaker 1: is like touching souls?
Speaker 4: Where did this come from? This is this is not
Speaker 4: the motivation last episode, it's about.
Speaker 1: To Pega is shocked. How do you remember that I
Speaker 1: said that years ago when I was a child. Corey
Speaker 1: says he remembers everything she said because it was important
Speaker 1: to him.
Speaker 3: He asks, why don't you he forgets everything?
Speaker 5: He does.
Speaker 3: All this in this scene almost more than anything else,
Speaker 3: and I'm not exaggerating. He gives off real serial killer vibes,
Speaker 3: like a no joke, go watch it again, where he's like,
Speaker 3: I remember everything you say and take my hand.
Speaker 2: Exactly dark.
Speaker 1: And just said to penga fifteen.
Speaker 4: From every haircut she's ever had.
Speaker 2: But you saw face his face too, like he's a
Speaker 2: crazy person.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 4: It's so possessive and demanding. It's just awful.
Speaker 2: It's bad.
Speaker 1: Topanga urges him to look around. Does he know where
Speaker 1: he is? Corey ignores her questions and encourages her to
Speaker 1: take his hand to Pega, can't believe it. We're in
Speaker 1: the hospital. This is real. The reality is that your
Speaker 1: little brother is back there fighting for his life. Corey argues, no,
Speaker 1: reality is this hand to Panga takes his hand. I
Speaker 1: don't like it when you use us to hide from
Speaker 1: the rest of the world.
Speaker 2: Corey.
Speaker 1: He replies, I don't like it that you're not to
Speaker 1: Panga anymore. She's slowly released to.
Speaker 4: Find who you are, and you've lost track of who
Speaker 4: you are because it's me and me.
Speaker 2: You're not who you were when you were twelve. What
Speaker 2: the hell you've changed?
Speaker 4: Banka?
Speaker 1: Uh? Still not one laugh?
Speaker 4: We are now?
Speaker 2: Oh I was laughing by this.
Speaker 1: Okay, for the record, Well, congratulations to you. So then
Speaker 1: we're in the apartment. Eric is pretending to play basketball
Speaker 1: with his adopted little brother Tommy, demanding him to go
Speaker 1: left multiple times until the boy has to remind him
Speaker 1: that is his laugh. Eric apologizes marking our first joke
Speaker 1: of the show, which again, you you think it would
Speaker 1: land like.
Speaker 3: An explosion because we've come off that scene. But it's
Speaker 3: the first scene. Everyone's like exactly, there's no no, one's
Speaker 3: ready to last.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's it's the It was a tough laugh
Speaker 2: this week. Tough room.
Speaker 1: Tough room for sure.
Speaker 4: I mean there's literally a tradition of dead baby jokes,
Speaker 4: which the whole point of those jokes are that they're
Speaker 4: so inappropriate. Yeah, they know one funny that you would
Speaker 4: even ever tell them, And we are literally a dead Baby.
Speaker 1: Episode Yeah whole Dead Baby episode on a comedy. Tommy
Speaker 1: finally shoots a ball of laundry into an open suitcase
Speaker 1: and scores. Eric lifts him into the air and jumps
Speaker 1: up and down, the boy's body flailing in the air.
Speaker 1: They won the championship. They won the championship, and as
Speaker 1: a reward, Tommy gets to carry Eric's suitcase down to
Speaker 1: the car. Tommy is now unamused, not gonna happen, but
Speaker 1: Tommy still walks over to the suitcase to finish packing
Speaker 1: Eric's clothes for the big move and asks, why don't
Speaker 1: you get the big girl to carry it? Eric explains
Speaker 1: because big girls with the big old ract. Tommy wonders
Speaker 1: if that's why he's so sad, and Eric's siye, No,
Speaker 1: I'm not sad. Actually, that's the farthest thing from my mind.
Speaker 1: Tommy scoots back over to Eric. Well, something's wrong, you're
Speaker 1: acting different. Eric asks, yeah, how do I normally act?
Speaker 1: And Tommy frantically shakes his head back and forth while
Speaker 1: flailing his arms, yelling up and then Jack and Rachel
Speaker 1: walk through the door. Tommy is quick to greet them, Hi,
Speaker 1: big girl, Hi rat, It's cute. Eric Bee lines to
Speaker 1: a suitcase, but Jack and Rachel beg him not to leave.
Speaker 1: Eric still thinks it's the best thing to do, but
Speaker 1: Jack disagrees this is the last thing he should be
Speaker 1: thinking about right now. Rachel doesn't even think he should
Speaker 1: be in the apartment. Eric should be at the hospital.
Speaker 1: Eric cuts her off pancakes. Everyone is confused. He clarifies
Speaker 1: the international of hospital pancakes. Isn't that what you were
Speaker 1: gonna say? Jack wonders what's wrong with him? So Eric
Speaker 1: walks over to Tommy and places his hand over the
Speaker 1: boy's eyes. I don't want Tommy to know about the hospital.
Speaker 2: Good joke, really good joke.
Speaker 1: Tommy loudly whispers who's in the hospital. Eric s eyes
Speaker 1: and blames it on Rachel and Jack. He explains, I
Speaker 1: don't want him to know about the baby. The kid's
Speaker 1: got no family. He comes over here once a week
Speaker 1: to hang out with his big brother Eric. He doesn't
Speaker 1: need to know about this. Tommy hops off his stool.
Speaker 1: The kid wants to know who's in the hou hospital Eric,
Speaker 1: Eric reluctantly gives in, I've got this new little brother,
Speaker 1: but don't worry, because you're still my little brother too.
Speaker 1: But this new little guy, he's pretty sick. Tommy asks
Speaker 1: if they can go see him, and Eric is surprised
Speaker 1: to hear this. Tommy tells him, if he's your little brother,
Speaker 1: then isn't he my little brother too? And the inmates
Speaker 1: aw and Eric looks like he's about to burst into
Speaker 1: tears and will your hair is so long.
Speaker 3: It is, it's long and luxurious, and I don't know
Speaker 3: what the hell face I'm making at the end there.
Speaker 2: Oh, really it is the stranger.
Speaker 1: You're about to cry.
Speaker 2: It's it's like what it was a weird take, it was.
Speaker 2: I was like, what the hell is that face?
Speaker 4: I think it was an attempt at like awe, like
Speaker 4: you were kind of dam and then trying to share
Speaker 4: that with them, like.
Speaker 3: But I just got constipated. It just looked it was
Speaker 3: very strange choice.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it honestly felt like you were maybe going to
Speaker 4: make a joke, like you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 4: I thought maybe you were going to like improv like
Speaker 4: a button to the scene of like I don't know
Speaker 4: something that's sort of you know, And I wonder if
Speaker 4: you actually did and they just cut.
Speaker 3: It cut it, that's quite possible. But yeah, it was
Speaker 3: it was strange. It was a weird just a weird look.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I do think you're right the writer. It
Speaker 1: was a combination of awe at Tommy, but then also, guys,
Speaker 1: isn't this so cute? It was like inviting them in
Speaker 1: on the awe we Well, we're into Penga and Angela's dorm.
Speaker 1: Angela's on her bed wearing a go She is so
Speaker 1: stunning this headband she's wearing. The colors. They've just they've
Speaker 1: just nailed her.
Speaker 3: Look, Angela's even she's every time she's on screen, she'll
Speaker 3: have their giving her four lines and she's killing them.
Speaker 2: There. I know, this is my most real scene of
Speaker 2: the entire show. To me, was right here.
Speaker 1: Yep. Angela's on her bed studying. When Topega returns, Angela
Speaker 1: asks about the baby in a worried to Panga tells
Speaker 1: her there's been no change. She's really scared. Angela feels
Speaker 1: so bad for everybody and wonders how Corey is handling it.
Speaker 1: To Penga groans he's not, he's not even dealing with it.
Speaker 1: All he can talk about is holding hands and making
Speaker 1: everything go away, Like just because we're together automatically means
Speaker 1: we're protected from life. What is that? We're not kids anymore.
Speaker 1: Angela nods and agrees, No, we're not, and you're handling
Speaker 1: it very maturely. Topanga thanks her, but Angela clarifies that
Speaker 1: it wasn't a compliment. Everyone's mad at Topanga.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't quick get this.
Speaker 4: I didn't understand.
Speaker 1: I didn't either, except for the idea that that in
Speaker 1: this storyline, the best way to Panga, the way Topanga
Speaker 1: isup is supposed to support Corey is by telling telling
Speaker 1: him everything's going to be okay, and you know, being
Speaker 1: her hippy dippy. When we hold hands, our soul's touch.
Speaker 1: Nothing in the world matters more than the love between
Speaker 1: two people.
Speaker 2: But Angela didn't know that.
Speaker 1: To Panga, No she did not. But apparently you if
Speaker 1: you are too mature about a situation and it's not
Speaker 1: even your situation, you are not helping. That's literally what
Speaker 1: this is.
Speaker 4: That's it. I just when she said that, I was like,
Speaker 4: did I miss something?
Speaker 2: I don't know?
Speaker 4: Why is Angela criticizing her for mature and together? No?
Speaker 1: It it doesn't make any sense. But in the storyline
Speaker 1: of the show, everyone can see that Tapanga is not
Speaker 1: doing is not supporting Cory the right way.
Speaker 4: I mean, it'd be so easy to have Topanga like
Speaker 4: obsessing over a test she has to take, or like,
Speaker 4: you know, like literally avoiding this. Like if Topanga were
Speaker 4: the one doing what Corey's doing basically like oh, I've
Speaker 4: got to go do this or I'm I'm you know,
Speaker 4: like taking all this emotion and avoiding, then I could
Speaker 4: see it, because then you'd be like, hey, maybe you
Speaker 4: should be there for Corey or you know. But she
Speaker 4: is at the hospital, she's doing everything, She's taking care
Speaker 4: of everybody.
Speaker 1: Yes, she's also willing to hold his hand. It's like
Speaker 1: she's not like not trying to be comforting at all.
Speaker 1: She's just really like she's being very realistic. I hope
Speaker 1: everything is going to be okay, and that now Y
Speaker 1: wants when we hold hands, our souls are touching, and
Speaker 1: if our souls are touching, what could possibly go wrong?
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: And first apparently Angela agrees that these agrees. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: universe agrees. So Topanga defends herself. I'm not twelve anymore,
Speaker 1: and when I was, I was like the strangest kid
Speaker 1: in the universe. Angela laughs, You've still got some strange
Speaker 1: in you. Topanga remembers one time when she was trying
Speaker 1: to help Corey with the essence of this poem for school.
Speaker 1: She remembers going to his house and dancing all around
Speaker 1: his kitchen and putting lipstick all over her face. We
Speaker 1: see a glimmer of hippie Topanga. She raises her arms
Speaker 1: and mimics the donut and the sky movements from season one.
Speaker 1: Angela wonders why she remembers that story so well. Topanga admits,
Speaker 1: because I always thought that was the moment he fell
Speaker 1: in love with me. He always used to be the
Speaker 1: one to bring me back to reality. I don't know
Speaker 1: what happened to him. Angela explains, you did. You're the
Speaker 1: greatest influence in his life. To Panga, he needs you
Speaker 1: to take his hand, dance around him, help him through
Speaker 1: what's going on right now. Baby. Without you, all he
Speaker 1: has is reality. So again, like the perspective of the
Speaker 1: show is that A to Panga as a partner, needs
Speaker 1: to be the distraction from reality, because what other distractions
Speaker 1: are there?
Speaker 4: Look pretty dance, Look pretty dance. Yeah, I mean, god man,
Speaker 4: I mean I really, especially now hearing it back, I
Speaker 4: just feel like this is like a real jump the
Speaker 4: shark moment this episode because it's it's not only this
Speaker 4: like drama, which we've done drama before test a lot,
Speaker 4: but it's also when we start referencing our old episodes
Speaker 4: and relying on the sort of like this is who
Speaker 4: you are, this is who you and we need to
Speaker 4: get back to that. It's like a weird way to
Speaker 4: sort of actually try to get back to the good episodes,
Speaker 4: like when the show was good, or like it's like
Speaker 4: we're kind of mining our own material, which is not
Speaker 4: great for a show, you know, was in a sixth season,
Speaker 4: Like you can't come up with new stuff, especially like
Speaker 4: the pregnancy was supposed to be about introducing a new
Speaker 4: character potentially and a new avenue for Alan and Amy
Speaker 4: to have storylines, and instead it's becoming like, let's go
Speaker 4: back to what Tapanga was Topanga and like yeah, it's yeah,
Speaker 4: it's weird.
Speaker 1: I know, and you know, it reminds me a little bit.
Speaker 1: It feels like maybe what they were trying to do
Speaker 1: was a little like what we did in the haircutting
Speaker 1: episode where Sean says to Tapanga, what's happened to you?
Speaker 1: This isn't the Topanga. I knew the Tapanga, I knew,
Speaker 1: you know, didn't paint her toe nails and always had
Speaker 1: you know, had all this confidence and now you've changed.
Speaker 1: And it made Tapanga look in the mirror and say,
Speaker 1: you're right, I don't like this version of me. And
Speaker 1: we praised that story. We loved that when that episode happened.
Speaker 1: This one feels different because it feels like a really
Speaker 1: like a strong judgment and she's and she's not. She's
Speaker 1: not doing anything wrong at all. Had to Penga been
Speaker 1: the one to maybe and and for it to, you know,
Speaker 1: for her to come to the realization that maybe something
Speaker 1: she could do if she was feeling like, man, I
Speaker 1: just don't know what to do to be there for Corey.
Speaker 1: I'm really struggling. I don't know. I feel like I
Speaker 1: used to know how to comfort him and now I
Speaker 1: don't needymore. If it were an internal struggle for Tapanga
Speaker 1: and for her to realize, you know, what I would
Speaker 1: have done back then. I would have had blind optimism
Speaker 1: that this was all going to work out, and I
Speaker 1: would have drawn on my face and it would have
Speaker 1: made him and she made the choice then to do
Speaker 1: that on her own. But like, instead, all these people
Speaker 1: are coming at her acting like, who the hell are
Speaker 1: you lady? What are you even doing in here? It
Speaker 1: feels very attacking for no reason. So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't love it to now come back with like,
Speaker 3: why are you practical?
Speaker 2: Because hey, that was my thing. Now that's what you made.
Speaker 2: The character is unpractical. Now you're attacking me for the
Speaker 2: character you are to marry.
Speaker 1: Ye who have been for the last, by the way,
Speaker 1: five years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and again Topanga being a totally different character. We've
Speaker 3: talked about that and doing an episode about that great idea,
Speaker 3: don't leg it into now it's her fault that Corey
Speaker 3: very strange.
Speaker 1: So Tapanga takes this idea in Oh boy. Then we're
Speaker 1: in the student union. Corey approaches Foenie. Do I not
Speaker 1: cherish Topanga? Phoenie sarcastically announces, Oh, here we go into
Speaker 1: Corey Land. The little lobster's right here, right right there.
Speaker 1: Corey continues, Did I not raise her and bring her
Speaker 1: into my home? Phoene sternly asks who talks like you?
Speaker 1: Which I loved?
Speaker 4: Because raise her?
Speaker 2: What does that mean?
Speaker 4: Raised her?
Speaker 2: What is I don't understand what that means? Is that
Speaker 2: a joke?
Speaker 1: Literally? Corey's talking like a father about a daughter. Did
Speaker 1: I not love her and raise her with respect and
Speaker 1: provide for her? That's literally what he's saying. And that's
Speaker 1: why Phoene says, thankfully, who talks like you? Because when
Speaker 1: he said it, I was like, what, Yeah? But I
Speaker 1: do think at least they tried to make it a
Speaker 1: joke that he he doesn't really mean that he raises me,
Speaker 1: but I raised me. But I think in the sense
Speaker 1: of like, have I not loved her her whole life?
Speaker 1: Have I not guarded her? Have I not been there?
Speaker 1: Have I not? It's yeah, Corey rants on, I go
Speaker 1: to you and I know exactly what I'm getting. Hello,
Speaker 1: mister Matthews, here's your sensible advice. I'm on my way.
Speaker 1: You are my sensible go to guy. But he feels
Speaker 1: that Tapanga is not what she used to be. Phoene
Speaker 1: wonders what did she used to be? Corey answers, not sensible.
Speaker 1: She was Tapanga now she's Phyllis Munson from Piscataway, New Jersey.
Speaker 1: Phoene tells him that Tapanga Lawrence is one of the
Speaker 1: best people he knows. Corey agrees, but what's wrong with her?
Speaker 1: Phoene's adamant. She's growing up, so are you. Cory asks
Speaker 1: why does she have to grow now at a time
Speaker 1: like this? Phoene gets serious. Do you want to go
Speaker 1: see how your little brother is doing? Corey says yes,
Speaker 1: and Phoene offers to go with him. Corey accepts the
Speaker 1: offer and the two begin to leave, but Corey warns him,
Speaker 1: my homework is going to be unbelievably late this week.
Speaker 1: Phoene says, yeah, what else is new? Then we're in
Speaker 1: the hospital Niku. Allan opens the room and greets another couple,
Speaker 1: Karen and Paul, who are hovering over their baby. He
Speaker 1: asks how their daughter is doing today, and the mother
Speaker 1: says she's doing a little better. He has a little
Speaker 1: more color now. Alan agrees, telling them she looks great.
Speaker 1: Alan makes his way to another father nearby, a Jewish
Speaker 1: man named Michael praying for his baby played by one
Speaker 1: mister Michael Jacobs. It is his only on screen Boy
Speaker 1: Meets World appearance. Ever, Alan asks how his son is doing,
Speaker 1: and Michael reveals I think he smiled at me. Before
Speaker 1: Alan leaves. He asks for a prayer for his boy too,
Speaker 1: and Michael responds, oh, these are for all of us.
Speaker 1: And just like last week where I was a little triggered,
Speaker 1: very triggered again by this whole scene.
Speaker 4: There is.
Speaker 1: Nothing that can prepare you for being on the Nike
Speaker 1: you floor and seeing all the different families and seeing
Speaker 1: all the different parents who wander the halls and their
Speaker 1: robes at all times of the day or night because
Speaker 1: they refuse to leave, and they refuse to go home,
Speaker 1: and you know you're there. You Sometimes you're a person
Speaker 1: who's already been there for a few days and somebody
Speaker 1: new comes in and they only have to be there
Speaker 1: for twenty four hours or forty eight hours and then
Speaker 1: they leave. And other times you've come in and there's
Speaker 1: someone who's been there for a long time before you arrived,
Speaker 1: and you leave long before them. And you know, there
Speaker 1: are kids who are in the NICKU or then the
Speaker 1: pediatric Intensive care unit for a year, and their families
Speaker 1: have to come and go, and you know, some depending
Speaker 1: on which hospital you go to, they offer gas cards.
Speaker 1: Sometimes families are driving hundreds of miles. They don't live
Speaker 1: close to the hospital, and it costs a fortune to
Speaker 1: be able to get there, and people still have to work,
Speaker 1: and so they're not even it's just it is truly
Speaker 1: a place where you feel a kinship with every other
Speaker 1: family there, and when you leave. You know, if you
Speaker 1: are any type of a person who prays or gives
Speaker 1: good vibes or thinks positive thoughts from the moment you
Speaker 1: end till the time you leave, you are doing that
Speaker 1: for every person there with you. So yeah, this was
Speaker 1: actually this was this was hard for me to watch.
Speaker 2: Us too, but for a totally different reason.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I think that that's a sign that
Speaker 4: it's effective. You know. Yeah, that's a counterpoint to everything
Speaker 4: that we've been saying, which is that here is a
Speaker 4: you know, it is based on a personal experience. It's yeah,
Speaker 4: it's speaking to your personal experience. So for all of
Speaker 4: you know, all of our eye rolling about the fact
Speaker 4: that The Boy Meets World is leaning into such a
Speaker 4: dramatic episode, it maybe it's appropriate, you know, maybe if
Speaker 4: you're think.
Speaker 3: Something would be more appropriate, and it would it would
Speaker 3: land easier if it wasn't surrounded by other really intense episodes.
Speaker 1: Or other really intense scenes like even like you said,
Speaker 1: then on the outside of the hospital room, Corey is
Speaker 1: mad at to Penga for something, and we're like wait,
Speaker 1: why does everybody feel it? Why is it such a downer?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does.
Speaker 3: It just with the whole chet thing coming off, the
Speaker 3: chet thing and Jack and Eric, you know, having problems
Speaker 3: and Rachel and it's everybody's having issues now. And so
Speaker 3: this what should be something super important that was somebody's
Speaker 3: personal experience that does affect a lot of people. That
Speaker 3: should have landed, not to say like a very special episode,
Speaker 3: but one that does stand alone as man, this is
Speaker 3: real life.
Speaker 2: We're going to hit you with real life in the
Speaker 2: mouth right now.
Speaker 3: It starts to get a little beige because everything has
Speaker 3: been like that now for several episodes, so it doesn't
Speaker 3: land with the same impact because you're hearing the same
Speaker 3: note now for three or four episodes in a row.
Speaker 3: So it's just more sadness on top of more sadness.
Speaker 2: Because I think you're right, writer, and what Danielle is saying, how.
Speaker 3: Much is affecting are we all know people that have
Speaker 3: had children and the nick you and and it is
Speaker 3: it's that becomes your life, So that itself should have
Speaker 3: had a much more powerful impact than it did because
Speaker 3: it's just now kind of bland because it just keeps
Speaker 3: happening over and over now with these episodes.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Then he finds Amy sleeping in a chair near
Speaker 1: their baby. He whispers some words of encouragement to the baby.
Speaker 1: Just as Amy opens her eyes. Joshua Alan is startled.
Speaker 1: What does she mean? Amy explains, I decided on Joshua
Speaker 1: Joshua Gabriel Matthews. Gabriel means he who God protects. Alan
Speaker 1: now wants to know how Joshua is doing today, and
Speaker 1: Amy says the doctor suggests they talk to him and
Speaker 1: tell them who they are. The couple stick their hands
Speaker 1: inside of the incubator. As Alan introduces himself as dad.
Speaker 1: He tells his baby that he loves him and he
Speaker 1: wants him to get better. He repeats Joshua Gabriel's name
Speaker 1: and then desperately asks God for help. Outside, Eric and
Speaker 1: Tommy are looking in on their new baby brother. Eric
Speaker 1: proves to Tommy that the baby is still here, but
Speaker 1: it's time to go back home now. Tommy asks if
Speaker 1: Eric's coming back to the hospital after he drops him off,
Speaker 1: and Eric nods, yeah, I'm gonna come right back here
Speaker 1: and I'm going to tell him all about you. I'm
Speaker 1: going to tell him how he spent the whole day
Speaker 1: with him. Tommy assures him he knows I'd it. Eric
Speaker 1: smiles and kisses Tommy's head, but Tommy isn't having it. Hey,
Speaker 1: Eric's admits, all right, come on, saddle up. He kneels
Speaker 1: down and toppy Tommy hops onto his back. Gidea Porsy.
Speaker 2: It's a cute relationship. The Tommy Eric is a very
Speaker 2: cute relationship.
Speaker 3: It really works Eric with kids because in some ways
Speaker 3: he's the adult and in some ways he's on their level.
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, it really. It's so cute. Between any time
Speaker 2: that Tommy.
Speaker 4: Is smarter than you could come back, it's just great.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, it really works.
Speaker 1: The two walk through the hospital waiting room, which is
Speaker 1: filled with all of the friends in Matthew's family. Tommy
Speaker 1: says goodbye to each and every one of them by
Speaker 1: name ending with Rachel and Jack, Big Girl, and Rat.
Speaker 1: Once again. To Panga, loudly states Corey, I feel like
Speaker 1: we're really distant. Everyone looks up and we see that
Speaker 1: they are literally sitting across the room from each other.
Speaker 1: He loudly responds, why would you say that to Panga
Speaker 1: admits because for the first time in my life. I
Speaker 1: feel like I don't know how to give you what
Speaker 1: you need. Corey wonders why not, and Tapeka says because
Speaker 1: they can't go through life together if he expects her
Speaker 1: to change his reality. Corey winds, well, you used to
Speaker 1: be able to. Everyone is watching the conversation back and
Speaker 1: forth like a tennis match, which gets an oddly placed laugh.
Speaker 1: Tapega responds, we were kids. Nothing bad ever happened. The
Speaker 1: worst thing that happened was when your pop tart fell
Speaker 1: on the ground. Corey agrees. And you held it up
Speaker 1: to the sky and you said God made dirt. Dirt
Speaker 1: won't hurt, right. Tapenga says it was still dirty, but
Speaker 1: Corey points out that he ate it anyway. He didn't
Speaker 1: have to, but he did because she said too. He
Speaker 1: finally walks over to her, I want you to make
Speaker 1: everything better. To Panga, she shakes her head. We can't
Speaker 1: have that relationship anymore. Corey keeps asking why, and she
Speaker 1: finally admits, I don't know how to be like that anymore. Corey,
Speaker 1: this is bad. There isn't anyone who can make it better.
Speaker 1: And on cue the elevator door's open.
Speaker 4: Here's someone who's gonna make it better.
Speaker 1: Guess who's gonna make it better? Shone, it's Shonsi with
Speaker 1: a big Smiley's eyes light up and they give each
Speaker 1: other a big hug. We get another imate.
Speaker 4: Cory correct he actually respects individual.
Speaker 1: The Levey wants the love who just knows how to
Speaker 1: give him what he needs about being asked.
Speaker 4: Who him everything? Because Sean has nothing and has needed
Speaker 4: a family and needed all that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Sean grabs Corey's shoulders. Listen, Everything's going to be
Speaker 1: all right. Corey makes sure you think and Sean nods,
Speaker 1: I know. The boy's hug again is a concerned to
Speaker 1: Panga looks on, and then there's a commercial break. We're
Speaker 1: back in the hospital waiting room and Sean says he
Speaker 1: tried calling them at the dorms and Angela told him
Speaker 1: what happened, so he drove back as fast as he could.
Speaker 1: He exchanges helloes with mister Foene and asks how the
Speaker 1: baby's doing. Tapega tells him it's very serious, but Cory
Speaker 1: assures him that everything's going to be fine. So so
Speaker 1: to Panga details he's so small he's having a hard
Speaker 1: time breathing and he can't fight the infection. Corey knowingly
Speaker 1: states again he's going to be fine. To Pega begs
Speaker 1: Sean to talk to him, she can't get through to him.
Speaker 1: He'll listen to his best friend. Sean nods he can
Speaker 1: handle it. He turns to Corey and grabs him by
Speaker 1: the shoulder. Man, are we going to have so much
Speaker 1: fun with this kid? Corey happily agrees. The kid is
Speaker 1: going to be our slave. Funny funny slave jokes, well.
Speaker 2: Dead baby slave. We're trying to hit it all.
Speaker 4: Has Sean ever really been the like cheer up guy.
Speaker 4: Sean's the downer. Sean's the moody.
Speaker 1: Sean's the one who's like he still died.
Speaker 4: I don't this is not Sean. No, I don't know
Speaker 4: what's happened. It's yeah, shoehorning characters into philosophy.
Speaker 1: Yes, or real life experience, and then we're just like, we'll
Speaker 1: just have these characters do this thing.
Speaker 3: Do either of you know, did Michael have a Sean?
Speaker 3: Did we meet like friend? Sean McCracken is yeah, because
Speaker 3: he didn't, and then McCracken until they were in they
Speaker 3: were much late in life and now, but I do think.
Speaker 4: They have McCracken identified with Sean, Yeah, as this, I
Speaker 4: don't know. That's my assumption is that you know their
Speaker 4: twenty something friendship was a very was the basis. Yeah,
Speaker 4: a Sean Corey dynamic.
Speaker 1: They go back and forth about what fun they're going
Speaker 1: to have teaching him everything they know and bailing him
Speaker 1: out of jail. To Penga sits next to mister Feoenie
Speaker 1: and asks him to say something, but Corey cuts her
Speaker 1: off to jokingly tell Feenie, I think you're going to
Speaker 1: have another Matthews to teach Sean grins and maybe he'll
Speaker 1: have a kid like me to sit next to. Corey
Speaker 1: punches back, Well, he won't have to, because you'll still
Speaker 1: be there. They let out over the top laughs at
Speaker 1: their comedy routine. To Pega asks Phoene again, isn't he
Speaker 1: going to say anything to them? Phoene nods and gets
Speaker 1: the boys attention. Boys, I hope you're right with all
Speaker 1: my heart. I hope you're right, which is no different
Speaker 1: than what Tapanga has said.
Speaker 2: No, actually it's way different. He's a he's a man, Danielle.
Speaker 1: He's an older you can make and take what he
Speaker 1: says seriously.
Speaker 2: He's a mass.
Speaker 1: Yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Whoa, whoa, why are you being hysterical?
Speaker 4: Calm down, just calm down.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I got I'm a little emotional.
Speaker 4: Wow. Yeah is the time of the month.
Speaker 1: It might be it's any day now, So yeah, I apologize,
Speaker 1: you know, Okay, Yeah, I should probably not schedule these
Speaker 1: podcasts around that time.
Speaker 3: I just you do respond great, you're doing great, and
Speaker 3: I'll talk about this later.
Speaker 2: But you're doing very well.
Speaker 4: I think we raised her pretty well. Guys.
Speaker 2: I think we if we if we look back.
Speaker 1: Good bye, we did good. Thank you.
Speaker 4: Just play to our delusions. So weird? Oy.
Speaker 1: Then Amy and Allen walk into the room and are
Speaker 1: happy to see their son's best friend. Sean asks if
Speaker 1: everything's okay, and Amy admits no. Joshua hasn't responded to
Speaker 1: the antibiotics yet. Why is Amy so different? Why can't
Speaker 1: she be making lunches and talking about how great high
Speaker 1: school's going to be? Why she's such a Why she's
Speaker 1: so different? Alan introduces everyone to mister Markman, who has
Speaker 1: been kind enough to sit with them for the past
Speaker 1: three hours.
Speaker 2: So this is his only patient.
Speaker 3: The guy who's the specialist can sit with them for
Speaker 3: three hours.
Speaker 1: Anybody who's ever been in a hospital knows that that's
Speaker 1: not true. No, just trying to get thirty five seconds
Speaker 1: in a hospital to ask a doctor what's going on?
Speaker 1: What's this test result mean? Is nearly impossible. You have
Speaker 1: to have a pager and two cell phones and seventy
Speaker 1: five people on alert at.
Speaker 2: All times hours. He just hung out with them and
Speaker 2: just stayed there.
Speaker 4: Just interesting. I wonder if that's based on some someone personal, like,
Speaker 4: you know, because why do they bring in this extra
Speaker 4: doctor right like we're not the woman who gave helped
Speaker 4: give birth to the bay or did the surgery last week?
Speaker 4: Passes the buck to a man.
Speaker 3: I think it's show the gramatag like it's supposed to
Speaker 3: show the gramatas of the danger we need to bring
Speaker 3: in siesr Obi was while she checked in on me,
Speaker 3: was not my doctor anymore.
Speaker 1: Once Adler was in the nick ku then he had
Speaker 1: all kinds of you know, lung specialists, the reality of
Speaker 1: that that yeah, that does happen, you'r OB's like, I
Speaker 1: did my job.
Speaker 4: So like the perfect doctor, you know, I know, like
Speaker 4: the dream.
Speaker 1: And then Corey is confused the baby got more medication.
Speaker 1: I don't know how he got that from the doctor
Speaker 1: spending three hours with them. But okay, doctor Mark, when explains,
Speaker 1: we've given him all the medicine we can give him.
Speaker 1: We've been in there sitting with him and talking with him.
Speaker 1: What happens next is up to josh Amy reveals that
Speaker 1: the doctor thought it would be a good idea if
Speaker 1: Corey went in to say hello to his brother. Corey
Speaker 1: tells Shawn and Tipanga he'd like them to come to.
Speaker 1: On their way to the Nick You, Shawan is stopped
Speaker 1: by a nurse. She said it's family only. Alan alerts
Speaker 1: her that he is family and she lets him through
Speaker 1: and there's more.
Speaker 4: Ah, but to Panga doesn't get stopped.
Speaker 3: I don't know why the nurse and I asked Susan
Speaker 3: about this, and she said that maybe because you're engaged considered.
Speaker 4: So you've already had this moment. We've explained.
Speaker 1: The nurse knows the Matthew's Tree family dynamic. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, the doctor's been sitting there for three hours.
Speaker 1: He had to learn, he had to learn something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good point. And then in the Nick You, Tapanga,
Speaker 1: Corey and Sean. Now when scrubs are all gathered around
Speaker 1: the incubator. Corey introduces himself and a teary eyed to Panga.
Speaker 1: To Joshua, he says he always wanted a little brother,
Speaker 1: and now he has to get better. Tapega jumps in,
Speaker 1: telling the baby to let the medicine get him better
Speaker 1: because there are a lot of people who really love him.
Speaker 1: She begins to cry, realizing how helpless he is. Then
Speaker 1: Sean says hello. He tells josh that this is the
Speaker 1: second time he's been in the hospital this year, and
Speaker 1: the first time didn't go so well, and jo even
Speaker 1: get him started on mister Turner.
Speaker 3: Oh, it does not do well there. I'm glad I
Speaker 3: never had a scene by the Yeah, you just.
Speaker 1: Had to put your put your face to the glass.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But it's also just the wardrobe because I don't
Speaker 2: want to cross.
Speaker 1: No, I don't want the steps there. It's really cross.
Speaker 4: I hated this scene so much. I hated watching it,
Speaker 4: and I could feel me hating doing it. I was
Speaker 4: just like what, I'm just what you're gods, I'm just
Speaker 4: talking talking to just it was a Joshua jos it
Speaker 4: was I'm just so monotized, like I can tell, I'm
Speaker 4: just like what it's just exposition.
Speaker 2: It's just but it's also like the third one.
Speaker 6: I mean, Rusty's his one, and I mean it's it's
Speaker 6: just everybody coming in and doing a monologue over this
Speaker 6: little baby, which apparently you're also not supposed to have
Speaker 6: h Teddy Bear in the thing.
Speaker 3: No, like it's actually in the thing with him. Let's
Speaker 3: not maybe maybe keep it a safe space.
Speaker 1: So yeah, trying to remember Adler, we did have a couple.
Speaker 1: We did have little things like there he had a
Speaker 1: little fox rattle and a friend of ours who had
Speaker 1: had a baby, and the nick you had an owl
Speaker 1: that they put on top of his bedside thing that
Speaker 1: they said the owl watched over him twenty four hours
Speaker 1: a day, and they kept it inside, no, not inside,
Speaker 1: And so then they gave it to us so that
Speaker 1: it could watch over our baby. And then we passed
Speaker 1: it on to the next person. You learn, the baby
Speaker 1: and the nikki. So this owl's looked over many a baby's.
Speaker 1: He tells Josh about his road trip where he was
Speaker 1: looking to find himself after being in a real bad way,
Speaker 1: and now Josh is in a real bad way, but
Speaker 1: he came back because he wanted to tell him something.
Speaker 1: Don't go out of town. Don't go anywhere. Life is
Speaker 1: right here with these people, with your family and my family.
Speaker 1: We got the greatest family there is, Josh. We want
Speaker 1: you to be with us so we can watch you
Speaker 1: grow and see you change and make great memories together.
Speaker 4: I really like the to me. The point of this
Speaker 4: monologue is that Sean has made a realization on his
Speaker 4: road trip, right, like he was running away, but now
Speaker 4: he's decided to come back. But just make that specific,
Speaker 4: like I wanted to say something real, like I was
Speaker 4: on the road, I went to this you know, I
Speaker 4: made it to this place. I don't know, like some story,
Speaker 4: some actual concrete thing, because as it is, I'm just
Speaker 4: like speaking in abstract sort of language. It just doesn't
Speaker 4: it doesn't feel focused. It feels I don't know, I
Speaker 4: just frustrated.
Speaker 3: At the beginning, So Sean says, I called the dorm.
Speaker 3: I called Angela, and she told me what was going on. Right,
Speaker 3: That's how he found out. So he was just calling
Speaker 3: to check in and he found out, and that's what
Speaker 3: turned him around.
Speaker 2: Correct, that's what they were getting at.
Speaker 4: Okay, But then I'm coming here and I'm saying don't
Speaker 4: leave town, which it seems like, you know, maybe the
Speaker 4: realization was I got this phone call, like and maybe
Speaker 4: that should be the monologue, like I got a phone
Speaker 4: call that I heard about you, and I knew I
Speaker 4: had to come back, and that I, you know, was
Speaker 4: being selfish or you know, had my head up my
Speaker 4: ass running around like I needed to be here for
Speaker 4: these people who love you and that I love you know,
Speaker 4: but like it's never it's just this whole mangolaw doesn't
Speaker 4: have teeth because it feels so it's just all this
Speaker 4: like don't leave town, this and that and that.
Speaker 2: You know, it's all this abstract.
Speaker 4: I can't even remember it, Like right now, I cannot
Speaker 4: remember any of the words used in this thing.
Speaker 1: Like it's just I know, I can't remember any of
Speaker 1: the words used either. But I will say it was
Speaker 1: pretty clear to me that Sean was saying everything you
Speaker 1: need in your life is here with these people, right,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna feel many times in your life like
Speaker 1: you've got to go off on a search to find
Speaker 1: out who you are. And then that's tying into the
Speaker 1: Qurey into Panga situation, who are you? Everything you need
Speaker 1: to know about who you are can be told to
Speaker 1: you through these people and this family, and this is
Speaker 1: you know, everything you need. It's pretty it's that part's
Speaker 1: all pretty clear.
Speaker 4: But it's all me. Thematic language is what I say. Like,
Speaker 4: it's no concrete, it's not character based, it's not And
Speaker 4: that's why this was so hard for me to say
Speaker 4: and so hard for me to watch now. It's because
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, this is a this is poorly written.
Speaker 4: Like I needed like something concrete to get my head
Speaker 4: around or something immediate. Instead, I'm just here is the
Speaker 4: thematic language that explains the themes of my character and
Speaker 4: my thoughts and my you know.
Speaker 1: It would have been great if you just talked to
Speaker 1: the baby just about you just about and.
Speaker 4: You know, I was on the road and I found
Speaker 4: this payphone and I was gonna call Angela to say this,
Speaker 4: but guess what I heard. Now, it's a real story. Now,
Speaker 4: it's like and then I heard her say to me,
Speaker 4: there's this new baby, and I came running here because
Speaker 4: I wanted to see you, buddy. And then, you know,
Speaker 4: like if it was a very immediate like concrete, it
Speaker 4: just instead.
Speaker 1: It's yes, yes, Tapenga. Thanks Corey for remembering who she was.
Speaker 1: He smiles. You're in my heart. She nods, you're in
Speaker 1: my heart too. Sean points out the couple to Josh
Speaker 1: and then well they'll grow on you. And then we're
Speaker 1: back at the apartment. Eric is wearing a blanket like
Speaker 1: a cape and speaking in Count Shoula.
Speaker 2: It's more like Swedish Russian I have. It's kind of Russian.
Speaker 2: It's like I am doing made but I was like,
Speaker 2: what the hell accent?
Speaker 1: The cairn says, it's an Italian accent, which it is not.
Speaker 4: It is not.
Speaker 2: Like I don't even know what accent on it.
Speaker 1: It's definitely Count Shocula, ladies, and a gentleman's presenting for
Speaker 1: your entertainment pleasure, the amazing Flying Tommy will perform for
Speaker 1: you his world famous close the suitcase with his tushi.
Speaker 1: Eric asks Rachel and Jack, who are spectating from nearby,
Speaker 1: can I please have a drum roll from the cheating roommates.
Speaker 1: They reluctantly agree, and Tommy hops off of the barstool
Speaker 1: and jumps onto the suitcase with ease. Eric shouts ra
Speaker 1: he picks up to and bows with him. Thank you
Speaker 1: very much, Oh yes, thank you very much. He places
Speaker 1: Tommy on the ground and announces, for our next trick,
Speaker 1: we will disappear. Rachel can't believe he's actually leaving. Eric
Speaker 1: reminds her it's for the best. He says, he hopes
Speaker 1: they're so happy. Then he buries his head into her
Speaker 1: chest for a very big and very.
Speaker 2: Long motor boat. That's what it looked like. It looked
Speaker 2: like I was going, and then it.
Speaker 4: Was like you then you're gonna grab her right, and
Speaker 4: then go grab her ass?
Speaker 2: I mean, my god, inappropriate on top of inappropriate. Love it.
Speaker 1: Jack tells him multiple times that's enough, but Eric doesn't
Speaker 1: move and his hand is about to grab her, but
Speaker 1: before Jack frantically stops him, and now Eric asks Jack
Speaker 1: still best friends? Jack grins yeah, never changes man. Eric
Speaker 1: goes in for a hug near his chest too, but
Speaker 1: Jack redirects him for more of a bro less, gay,
Speaker 1: panicked embrace. Eventually, Eric tosses his keys to Tommy, telling
Speaker 1: him to bring the car around. Eric grabs his suitcase
Speaker 1: and follows his little brother out the door, but two
Speaker 1: seconds later, he reappears to retrieve a rubber ducky that
Speaker 1: was sitting on the chair, squeaks him a few times, smiles,
Speaker 1: and then leaves for good. Now it's just Rachel and
Speaker 1: Jack in the quiet. Rachel asks, so what now, back
Speaker 1: at the nick you A sad piano plays as we
Speaker 1: see a hand remove the Joshua Matthews sign from his.
Speaker 4: Now second I thought they were going to just start
Speaker 4: making out at the end of that scene.
Speaker 1: All right, but no, it's.
Speaker 4: Just a sad, sad button of like what now.
Speaker 3: They look at each other and go, all right, well,
Speaker 3: let's go bang on his bed like that, you know
Speaker 3: that kind of thing is like, we got plenty of room,
Speaker 3: we haven't hit that room up yet.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 3: And by the way, Danielle, it wouldn't have worked with
Speaker 3: happy piano music in the next I know comes.
Speaker 2: In and it's like, yeah, it's like or something like that.
Speaker 4: I don't think it would have.
Speaker 2: The same effect.
Speaker 1: A sad piano plays as a hand removes the Joshua
Speaker 1: Matthew sign from his now empty incubator. Alan, standing outside
Speaker 1: of the room looking disheveled. Amy, who's off camera, asks
Speaker 1: what he's doing, and he says he's praying for everybody
Speaker 1: who has to be in there. Then we hear a
Speaker 1: baby cry. Amy is holding little Joshua Gabriel. Alan gives
Speaker 1: his wife a kiss and says, let's go home. The
Speaker 1: audience applauds loudly as they make their way to the
Speaker 1: hospital waiting room. The cast joins in on the applause
Speaker 1: as Sean smiles, what kind of place is this? Huh?
Speaker 1: First I lose my dad here, and then this little
Speaker 1: miracle a new brother to watch grow up? I get
Speaker 1: my family back. Corey asks his nomad friend, So you
Speaker 1: tired of tumbling Tumbleweed. Sean nods, there's too much going
Speaker 1: on here to be someplace else.
Speaker 4: Writer's reaction was a such weird time. Look how about you,
Speaker 4: tumble Tumbling Weed a traveling friend. I'm over my issues now.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Sh Then Topanga wants to ask Cory something.
Speaker 1: He responds in an almost vampire like accent. Yes, darling,
Speaker 1: she wonders, do you still want to be my Valentine?
Speaker 1: Oh no? Could we not have? Just please not mention
Speaker 1: Valentine's day at the.
Speaker 4: Dill or She's finally learned her lesson?
Speaker 2: Yeah, have you not watched the episode?
Speaker 4: Danielle established a.
Speaker 1: He grins and again with the accent, Yes, darling, she wonders,
Speaker 1: would you rather I was like the old strange topanga.
Speaker 1: Corey stutters, well, no, I mean it's not like and
Speaker 1: as he's trying to come up with the words, she
Speaker 1: takes a wide stance and slowly starts the doughnut and
Speaker 1: the sky routine again. He tells her it's important they grow,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't want to lose what's so special about her.
Speaker 1: She smiles and says he never will because she takes
Speaker 1: out her lipstick and paints a heart on her face.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't remember that we did this.
Speaker 2: I did, I did?
Speaker 1: I did. I have a polaroid of it. I have
Speaker 1: a polaroid of Ben and I with the hearts on
Speaker 1: our faces.
Speaker 3: I thought, for some reason, though, I thought you did
Speaker 3: it back in the Matthew's kitchen and you had the
Speaker 3: dress on again.
Speaker 1: I don't know why that's a Girl Meets World episode.
Speaker 2: I don't I've never seen in my life, so it
Speaker 2: can't be.
Speaker 1: That's where I did stress. I don't do the I
Speaker 1: don't do the lipstick, but I do I have the
Speaker 1: white lace dress on them looking at myself.
Speaker 4: Like cannibalizing our oh, which is just like just make
Speaker 4: new stuff, make new make new choices, make new good stuff.
Speaker 1: I just it's bothering me that I said Ben and
Speaker 1: I and it's it would have been Ben and me.
Speaker 2: Okay, well it was never too late to change.
Speaker 1: She paints a heart on her face. I'm in your
Speaker 1: memories and you will always be here to remind me.
Speaker 1: Sean chimes in, use a mirror, babe. She gives him
Speaker 1: a big smile, and we get a close up of
Speaker 1: Tapanga's lipstick face, now with a heart, not the butchered
Speaker 1: peace sign of yesteryear. Corey asks, remind me what now.
Speaker 1: She begins to draw hard on his face with the lipstick.
Speaker 1: No matter how difficult life gets, the important thing is
Speaker 1: to live it with hope. Corey, now also with a
Speaker 1: lipstick covered face, admits, now that sounds like you. She
Speaker 1: holds out her hand.
Speaker 4: I do like you have hope being Yeah, the thing
Speaker 4: that person and that actually could have been really simple,
Speaker 4: Like that could have been clearer, you know, constead of
Speaker 4: it's like play into my delusion, hold my hand. Valentine's Day,
Speaker 4: But if it was just that, Like she's been kind
Speaker 4: of a downer because she thinks she's being realistic and.
Speaker 1: Took it so smart, and she was like, I'm going
Speaker 1: to make funeral arrangements just in case.
Speaker 4: Right of an action for Cory.
Speaker 1: I'm going to get a little gue. I'm gonna I'm

Speaker 3: Right by the way, awful rap name little casket, casket
Speaker 3: awful or or brilliant tiny casket.
Speaker 1: I might take it, I might steal it. I love death,
Speaker 1: little casket. They walk away hand in hand, and Sean
Speaker 1: watches them go. He looks into the air and sighs
Speaker 1: before following them out. We get one last shot of
Speaker 1: the nick you, where the other families continue to stand
Speaker 1: by their babysides, Michael still visibly praying, and that is
Speaker 1: our episode who and.
Speaker 4: Then I have like a look to God moment too.

Speaker 4: Really?
Speaker 3: I would have said, I think closer to I think
Speaker 3: it's single digits. I'm gonna say six or seven.
Speaker 4: I think each scene with Tommy gets at least three laughs.

Speaker 4: me laughing. I mean, look, Indy watched this with me
Speaker 4: and he was just like, what is this? Yeah, so
