But as soon as the camera is off, Dory is blowing chunks into a trash can.

Tunnel suggests that she see a doctor.

Gotta say, there is some gross vomit in trash cans and toilet bowls in this episode.

Hats off for realism, set dec team.

Meanwhile, in Maine, Drew has found a quaint inn run by Lou Diamond Phillips.

Drew asks Lou Diamond Phillips about the Jesper Society, and we get yet another genre swerve.

If the Maine location didnt give it away, were in Stephen King country, fellas.

Mr. Lou Diamond calls someone and says, Its happening again.

Back at Lyte, things are … going.

These headwounds look gross as heck.

Ritchie said theyd head into crystalline structures, but in the meantime they are wet and inflamed looking.

Ritche, the I Fucking Love Science personified guy, has decided to work towards the enlightenment pill.

Ritchie is on board with Dorys idea to literally kill people and bring them back.

What could go wrong?

to get to pull this off, they need a phoenix beetle enzyme.

Only thing is, theyll need Dr. Carpets help to get the enzyme from Dr. Bennys chemical laboratory.

The scene with Early and Aparna Nancherla in the lab is incredible.

Back in Stephen KingsIt,Drew meets the Jesper Society.

Joining Lou Diamond Phillips are Illeana Douglas, Michael Ian Black, and Scott Adsit.

Its all heaters and so funny that Drew couldnt give less of a shit about them.

We get tantalizing little hints about these kids and their Pennywise-esque monster battles.

Their narrative inertia keeps Drew in Maine until it gets dark, which pisses him off to no end.

Drew goes to Dorys old sanitarium and asks after Dr. Lombardo.

After getting stonewalled by the receptionist, Drew is taken by surprise by Dr.

He gives Drew a drawing of Dorys visions of the future.

It kind of rocks.

Dorys graphic design career may have gone nowhere, but her grim vision of the apocalypse is a serve.

Flesh, HIPAA violator.

Again, Dorys drawing is very good.

Should have tried indie comics instead of solving a disappearance, Dor.

Back at Lyte HQ, Ritchie has made a semi-breakthrough.

After going through several dozen rats, he managed to get an enlightenment-style brain response from one named Gemini.

Okay, someone is too into astrology on theSearch Partywriting staff.

That a Gemini is responsible for the end of the world is a slander on my whole sun sign.

Also, Ritche finally brings up what weve all been thinking: Dory has been poisoned.

After getting confirmation from Lytes on-scene medic, Dory goes rifling through her apostles belongings on a poison hunt.

But girl, the apostles dont feed you.

Eventually, Dory figures it out, and Portia loses it.

She confesses to sleeping with Dory, which flips Elliotts lid.

But she doesnt really have time.

Leonoras mummy starts documentarian-ing at her daughter.

Drew comes in and presents his investigations results, accusing Dory of delusions and telling her that Lombardos dead.

Oh, and Gemini has arisen and attacked Dr. Benny.

Dr. Benny jumps out the window and lands on Tunnel Quinns car.

Here we fucking go.

He straight-up asks Lou Diamond Phillips if he knows a lady because she stabbed his friend.

How does that work?!

Okay, more on Portias sequined T-shirt dress.

Pockets big enough for a big test tube of poison?

Thats so rare in womenswear.

Stop making documentaries about me!

Thats Drews life now.

Okay, we gotta talk about Dorys drawing some more.

Are we getting a soupcon of Greek tragedy?
