The description for this weeks episode reads, They always making Paper Boi go through something.
And its so true.
As he walks back to his safe farm he stumbles upon an abandoned broken-down tractor.
After leaving the store, Al gets to work on repairing the tractor.
Im not sure why hes fixated on bringing it back to life.
Maybe its about proving his worth to himself; theres something special about building something with your bare hands.
Al doesnt make much progress on the tractor, so he returns to the safe farm for the evening.
Al, still laughing, goes back to working on the tractor.
The tractor is stubborn as ever, its engine merely sputtering.
Al opens up a compartment on the tractor and finds a dead rat.
But he survives … barely, as his foot is trapped underneath the tractor.
Finally able to pry his crushed foot from under the tractor, he limps back to the safe farm.
When Al eventually gets back to the safe farm, he catches sight of the feral pig approaching.
The boar attacks him viciously, but thank God he ordered that skillet on Amazon.
Oblivious to Als current circumstances, Earn asks how hes doing.
Al doesnt divulge any details and asks to call him back in the morning.
The next morning, Al makes himself bacon and whiskey for breakfast and returns Earns phone call.
They continue the phone call with the kind of banter only cousins who grew up together can have.
Im trying to smoke with Paper Boi, though.
I especially loved the shot of the mushrooms and fungi growing in the forest.
Call me greedy, but a talent like Brian Tyree Henry needs more time.
Its hard to believe this is the penultimate episode of the entire series.
Im preparing for some intense emotion last week as we say good-bye to this incredible show.
