So theyre not all dead.
For TV, thats good.
For the world ofSearch Party,thats very, very bad.
Three days later and the bus is still burning.
Drew is FaceTimed by his mom.
Hello again to Drews horrible family!
Long time no see.
I love scenes with Drews fam.
Theyre a painfully accurate representation of a coastal elite and their feelings toward the flyover folk they left behind.
Why dont you come home?
You have nothing to live for anymore; thats when people come home.
Drew isnt taking a long, slow drive back to Chicago.
The FBI figures it out but is like,They dont know that we know, Phoebe onFriendsstyle.
The world ofSearch Partyis awful on a fractal level.
The closer you look, the more fucked up it gets.
(IMO, we already have an Antichrist and his name is Aspen, but I digress.)
Kathy Griffin is fearless.
But Chantal cant go through with it, so theyre back to square one.
Dory leads her flock to the hippies, who helped her straight out of the asylum.
The disciples wash their tie-dye jumpsuits, and we are treated to a rainbowLast Suppertableau.
Elliott is in Judas spot because of course he is.
Drew is sitting next to Dory, Beloved Disciple style.
Did you know about Jesus possibly maybegay relationship with John the Apostle?
Just a fun lil something to bring up at parties.
Portia is in Doubting Thomass position, who famously fingered Jesus(s wounds).
I love comparative theology.
Elliott asks to be in charge of jelly-bean security, and Dory says no.
Dory announces that tomorrow is Pill Day.
Almost immediately after dropping that bombshell, she goes outside to look at the stars.
Drew, Portia, and Elliott all take turns going out to join her (and bone down).
Drews tete-a-tete is the most upsetting.
Im not gonna question anything anymore, he says.
I was put on this earth to be by your side, Dory.
They boink, and Drews daisies are askew when he returns to the dinner table.
But presumably, once Portia is pilled-up, shell have fully processed every bad thing shes ever done.
Just like Dory has, right?
Elliott finally seals the deal with his spiritual leader because being left out of it would literally kill him.
Back in the city, we meet up with the Witherbottoms.
Hello again to Chantals horrible family!
Her mom is FaceTiming in for a family dinner because shes gotten a whole new face.
And Chantals dad is in a wheelchair and using some sort of assistive technology to speak.
Its the tethered ofHow to With John Wilson.
Chantal and Liquorice are interrupting the family dinner so Liquorice can ask for Chantals hand in marriage.
Ted, as the new family patriarch, gives his blessing to the union.
Babes, your ego drove you to murders, plural.
That being said, the guided-meditation scene is legit beautiful.
The girlies levitate and are bathed in light from their third-eye chakra.
Dorys eyes go iridescent, and its the same rainbow mottling on Dr. Bennys corpse.
We really are all connected.
Oh, yeah, Dr. Benny.
Her body is being examined at the morgue, and its looking like she died before she died.
That cant be good.
It also cant be good that her body goes missing from the autopsy table.
Meanwhile, the acolytes are tripping balls, or so they think.
Elliott switched the pills (thanks, Judas!
), and everyone is only placebo enlightened.
The disciples are having a dry-humping orgy merely because they think theyre high.
But Elliott discovers one person actually ate a real death jelly bean.
RIP Patti Mayonnaise, you were a real one.
I wish I could have learned more about your role in the West Village 11.
Dr. Benny, Dr. Joe Pera, and Gemini the rat are already in New York.
Dory and Drew cant be far behind.
Stray Pages From the Book of Dory
So what are we thinking, standard-issue postmodern zombie rules?
Remove the head or destroy the brain, dont get bit, and theyre fast for some reason?
We always have to be respectful of his sadness; it sucks.
When the dude hippie played a didgeridoointoa singing bowl?
In theLast Suppertableau, Winnie is in Simons place.
Theologians, just tell me what this means.
This is the only time I ever want to see Joe Pera die.
That man is a treasure!
