S1E28 - 'We Are The Kraken of Our Own Sinking Ships' · Dished at Birth

KARA: Good morning.
0:00
DANI: Good morning.
0:01
Oh my God.
0:03
What a past 72 hours life has been.
0:06
How was your book event?
0:07
KARA: It was really good.
0:08
Yeah, I met Sarah Novic at Books are Magic in Brooklyn Heights.
0:12
Did you read True Biz, the book she wrote?
0:13
DANI: No.
0:14
KARA: Okay.
0:14
Highly recommend to you and also everyone who's listening to this.
0:17
DANI: You know I have a hard time reading nonfiction.
0:20
KARA: Well, True Biz is fiction.
0:21
DANI: Oh, it is.
0:22
Oh, I didn't realize that.
0:22
KARA: Yeah, True Biz is fiction.
0:23
Mother Tongue is a memoir.
0:25
DANI: Got it.
0:26
KARA: Yeah.
0:26
DANI: What is True Biz about?
0:27
KARA: It follows a couple of Deaf high schoolers who live
0:31
at this school for the Deaf.
0:33
DANI: Cool.
0:33
KARA: Yeah.
0:34
And it's from all their different perspectives.
0:35
Highly recommend.
0:36
There was a lot of people at the book event who were really big fans of True
0:40
Biz, and I'm reading Mother Tongue right now, which is her memoir of growing up as
0:45
a Deaf person and also raising two sons, one who's hearing and one who's Deaf.
0:49
The book event was fun.
0:50
There was two interpreters there.
0:52
I didn't like the moderator, though.
0:54
The moderator was just some Brooklyn mom who's hearing.
0:57
Doesn't have any experience with Deaf culture or the Deaf community.
1:01
DANI: Oh, interesting.
1:02
KARA: She was just asking very basic questions, and the audience
1:06
was, like, half Deaf, half hearing.
1:08
The questions she was throwing were very basic Deaf culture questions.
1:12
DANI: Mm, she should've listened to the pod.
1:14
KARA: Literally.
1:15
And then I think I… It didn't help that I've also read most of
1:19
the book already, so I knew the answers to a lot of the questions.
1:22
DANI: Yeah.
1:23
Book events are really confusing to me.
1:25
I tend not to attend them unless I'm, like, absolutely obsessed with the author.
1:30
KARA: Yeah.
1:31
DANI: Because I'm like, "Who is this for?" 'Cause I always feel like half of it is,
1:35
like, in, in conversation for people who have already read the book, and then half
1:40
of it is like, "Let me tell you about this book that you're about to read."
1:43
KARA: Exactly.
1:43
A lot of people had not read the book.
1:45
DANI: Yeah.
1:45
KARA: And they'd come because they liked True Biz.
1:48
DANI: Yeah.
1:48
KARA: Which makes sense.
1:49
So yeah, the questions the moderator asked were not my favorite.
1:53
There was one that was very, um, it really reminded me of when they were
1:57
interviewing Regina and Kathryn about their daughters being switched at birth.
2:00
and they were like, "Regina, how'd you do it?"
2:02
DANI: Yeah.
2:03
KARA: There was a question along those lines of like, "How'd
2:05
you do it, being a Deaf mom and advocating for your Deaf son?"
2:08
She was like, "That's just being a mom, girl. I don't know."
2:11
DANI: Yeah.
2:11
KARA: I think it would've been so much better if there was just another Deaf
2:15
moderator, 'cause then the Q&A happened.
2:17
There was only, like, four or five questions, but the Q&A
2:20
questions were really good, and it was mostly from Deaf people.
2:24
And they asked, like, really in-depth questions about the book or just
2:27
about her life or Deaf identity, and then I was like, "Wait, this is
2:30
so much better than the moderator."
2:33
DANI: Is she doing more events in the city, or was this-
2:35
KARA: In New York, I'm not sure.
2:37
She's based in Philly.
2:38
DANI: I'm like, you need to email the bookstore and be like, next time-
2:41
KARA: Get-
2:42
DANI: Check with me.
2:43
KARA: Yeah, check with us.
2:44
Yeah, please.
2:45
So.
2:46
DANI: Yeah.
2:46
KARA: Overall, it was good.
2:47
I was there for, like, two hours.
2:48
She signed my book.
2:49
DANI: Nice.
2:50
KARA: She also had a little stamp that had her sign name in it
2:53
DANI: Oh, that's so cute.
2:54
KARA: Yeah, so it's like that
2:56
DANI: Oh my God.
2:57
KARA: Yeah.
2:57
It was fun.
2:58
DANI: That's awesome.
2:59
KARA: Yeah, it's good.
2:59
DANI: That's
2:59
KARA: a good
2:59
DANI: idea.
3:00
KARA: I know.
3:00
I was like, "That's genius."
3:02
DANI: Anything else going on?
3:04
KARA: We went to The Moth.
3:05
DANI: We did go to The Moth.
3:06
Oh my God.
3:06
See, this week has been so…
3:08
It's only Wed- no, it's Thursday.
3:10
This week's been really long.
3:12
KARA: Yeah.
3:12
DANI: Positive, but really long.
3:13
KARA: Yeah.
3:14
We went to The Moth.
3:15
If you don't know what The Moth is, it's like a storytelling podcast by NPR.
3:20
DANI: We went specifically to The Moth's Story Slam.
3:23
KARA: Yes.
3:24
DANI: Which is like the most basic tier of The Moth, 'cause then they do The
3:27
Moth Story Hour, which is the podcast.
3:30
But they record that live, and that is with stories that they've already heard-
3:34
KARA: Oh, so-
3:34
DANI: That are pre-selected and quality.
3:36
KARA: So the Story Slam, the winner of Story Slam, does she
3:40
then get to go to Story Hour?
3:41
DANI: I don't know if there's one more event in between those two.
3:44
KARA: Okay.
3:45
DANI: It's unclear to me.
3:46
KARA: I thought they were recording.
3:48
DANI: They are.
3:49
KARA: Okay.
3:49
DANI: They record every event, because if they find like a gem.
3:53
KARA: Yeah.
3:54
DANI: They'll use it.
3:55
KARA: There wasn't a lot of gems in this one.
3:56
DANI: There were not a lot of gems the other night.
3:59
Basically, if you don't know how Story Slam works, the crowd comes
4:02
in, there's a theme of the night.
4:04
You can put your name in a hat, and they will pull 10 names randomly
4:09
throughout the night, and you will get up with no notes, no props,
4:13
nothing, just you, with five minutes to tell your story based on the theme.
4:18
KARA: This theme was American Dream.
4:20
DANI: Yes.
4:21
So we probably should've known going in that it was going to be a bit uninspired.
4:25
And also, it was the night of game three of the Knicks.
4:29
KARA: Yes.
4:30
DANI: The host kept making jokes like, "This crowd and the sports
4:33
crowd don't overlap at all." But as someone who doesn't care about
4:36
sports, I am watching the Knicks.
4:38
KARA: Me too.
4:38
DANI: Because we live in New York, and it's like this magical moment.
4:41
There's like something in the air community spirit-wise, and
4:45
everyone that goes to The Moth seems very community-minded.
4:48
KARA: Yeah.
4:48
DANI: So I can imagine that a lot of people were like torn between attending
4:52
this event and watching the game.
4:54
So it was pretty dead.
4:56
So when we went before, there were probably like 50 people who volunteered.
5:00
KARA: Mm-hmm.
5:01
DANI: And they obviously only pull 10.
5:02
And it is random, so that doesn't guarantee you quality.
5:05
But this past time we went, there were only 11 people that put their name in, so
5:10
only one guy didn't get to tell his story.
5:13
KARA: Right.
5:13
DANI: And yeah, I just feel that the quality wasn't great, and
5:20
that's not the fault of The Moth.
5:22
They can't control who's coming in.
5:24
And I think the host is so great and pretty great about like making
5:28
funny chitchat between stories.
5:30
KARA: Yes.
5:30
DANI: So even when you've just listened to a flop, you're kind
5:33
of like having a good time.
5:35
KARA: Yeah.
5:35
I had a good time regardless.
5:36
DANI: We had a good time.
5:37
KARA: The winner did tell a great story about her IVF journey.
5:40
DANI: Yes.
5:41
That's the thing, there's always like one to two magical storytelling moments.
5:46
KARA: Yeah.
5:46
DANI: Where someone comes in and just like tells a really good, meaningful
5:49
story that makes you feel like, oh wow, we're all just like humans connected.
5:54
But a lot of people were like trying to tell stories about really big dreams.
5:59
Uh- I feel like we're maybe not the right audience, because a lot of people
6:03
were very supportive in the audience, and I was like, "That was bad."
6:08
KARA: Yeah, the judging was very friendly.
6:09
DANI: They pick judges out of the crowd at random.
6:12
KARA: Yes.
6:12
DANI: Before the show starts, like three groups of people.
6:15
And I'm always worried they're gonna pick me, because I'm
6:17
like, "I would be so mean."
6:19
They're giving, like, really bad- it's out of 10.
6:21
They're giving really bad stories, like, an 8.5.
6:24
KARA: Yeah.
6:24
I was like, "Whoa."
6:25
DANI: And I'm like-
6:26
KARA: Like, to me, that's a
6:26
DANI: five.
6:27
"That was excruciating to listen to. Are you sure?"
6:29
KARA: They must all be drunk.
6:31
Overall, I enjoyed it.
6:32
We had great ASL interpreters there too.
6:34
DANI: Yeah.
6:34
KARA: I would go again.
6:35
DANI: It was the same team from Annie DiRusso, was it not?
6:37
KARA: The woman was different.
6:38
The man was the same.
6:39
DANI: Interesting, 'cause I had the same complaints about
6:42
the woman that I had last time.
6:43
KARA: I just think her signs are old-fashioned, and it
6:45
doesn't translate exactly.
6:48
What I also really liked about the male is that he signs to the beat
6:52
of each line, even at the concert.
6:54
DANI: Yeah.
6:54
KARA: To the beat of each line, and the other one is always
6:58
delayed, like, one or two lines.
7:00
DANI: Yeah, and I watched her a couple of times get behind to the
7:04
point that she just skipped stuff.
7:06
KARA: Yes, I did notice that.
7:06
DANI: Or, like, not know the sign for something and just skip it.
7:09
KARA: Or she didn't hear.
7:11
There would be a lot of times where she didn't hear or understand a name,
7:14
and then she would just skip it.
7:15
DANI: Yeah, which is, like, not what you're supposed to do.
7:18
KARA: The… Also, by coincidence, there were two other ASL interpreters
7:22
there who weren't there to work.
7:24
They were just there to watch The Moth, and I think they would watch
7:27
and then also interject and be like, "They said this. Make sure you sign
7:31
that. Her name is this," and they were finger-spelling and help out.
7:35
DANI: That's really nice.
7:36
KARA: It is really nice.
7:37
It was all for me.
7:38
Okay, should we get to the show?
7:40
DANI: Yeah, let's do it.
7:54
My ice is clanging around in a glass.
7:55
I know I'm sorry it's clanging.
7:56
KARA: Clanging.
7:57
DANI: Sorry, guys.
7:58
It is 90 degrees today, so the windows are open, and I have
8:03
a cold beverage, and we're
8:05
- KARA: Are
8:05
DANI: you
8:05
KARA: drinking Diet Coke?
8:06
DANI: No, no, this is cold brew.
8:07
KARA: Oh, it's just very dark.
8:08
DANI: I do have Diet Coke in the fridge, but it's only 10:30, so I'm gonna try
8:12
to hold off until, like, lunch at least.
8:14
KARA: That's fair.
8:15
Season 1, Episode 28, We Are the Kraken of Our Own Sinking Ships.
8:20
DANI: I tried to look this up.
8:21
The one painting that came up was very weird.
8:24
KARA: I think it's the one painting you found.
8:26
DANI: The one with the baby?
8:27
KARA: No.
8:28
DANI: The… Isn't there a baby involved?
8:29
Hold on.
8:29
KARA: There's no babies.
8:31
It's by David Nixon.
8:32
It's a 2012 painting, so-
8:33
DANI: Yeah.
8:34
KARA: Oh, yeah, I think you're right.
8:35
There was a baby.
8:36
DANI: There's a baby.
8:37
KARA: A worm?
8:38
It's, like, an octopus.
8:39
DANI: There's… That's the kraken.
8:41
KARA: Yeah.
8:42
DANI: There's also a baby.
8:43
KARA: Yeah, you're right.
8:44
I'm sorry.
8:44
There is a baby on the right.
8:46
From first glance, you see-
8:47
DANI: I can't believe you were gaslighting me.
8:48
KARA: I'm sorry.
8:49
I didn't mean to.
8:50
DANI: Yeah.
8:50
There's a huge fucking baby.
8:52
It's, like, part of the octopus.
8:54
It's, like, half octopus, and then there's, like, a full
8:56
baby, like, shriveled up.
8:58
KARA: But then if you look closely at the octopus, you can see the
9:01
creature is made up of humans.
9:03
DANI: Oh, yeah, it is.
9:05
KARA: Yeah.
9:05
DANI: Oh, I hate it, actually.
9:07
KARA: It's very creepy.
9:08
DANI: It's
9:08
KARA: really creepy.
9:08
And then also-
9:09
DANI: And then it's holding a ship in a bottle.
9:11
KARA: A sinking ship inside a glass bottle.
9:13
I took this as humans could be our own worst enemies.
9:16
DANI: Wow.
9:17
KARA: And also, I was thinking octopus-like Zarra's hair.
9:21
DANI: And the dreads come up a lot in this episode.
9:23
KARA: She's perhaps the enemy of this episode, the villain.
9:26
DANI: I agree.
9:27
KARA: We start off the episode at Maize, the restaurant.
9:31
DANI: I texted you during the recap being like, "I'm scared
9:33
just based on this recap."
9:35
KARA: Yeah.
9:36
DANI: The things they were like, "Remember this?" I was like, "Stop."
9:38
KARA: Stop reminding me.
9:40
Yeah.
9:40
Daphne arrives into the kitchen.
9:43
Chef Jeff says, "That kiss we did, that can never happen again." And
9:47
then she goes, "Are you seeing Melody?" And he goes, "No, I
9:49
ended that." And then they kiss-
9:51
DANI: And then they kiss.
9:52
KARA: And then they kiss.
9:53
DANI: And then they kiss.
9:54
KARA: And I am sick to my stomach.
9:56
DANI: Yeah, it's gross.
9:57
Also, yeah, they're there early, but someone could still see them.
10:01
Like, they're kissing in the middle of the kitchen.
10:03
They're not being very… Daphne's, like, not worried.
10:06
KARA: She doesn't understand.
10:07
Again, no one is saying, "crime."
10:09
DANI: Crime.
10:10
And then we're with Bay and Zarra.
10:13
KARA: Exterior driveway.
10:14
DANI: Yeah, and they are bombing The Thing.
10:16
KARA: They are bombing The Thing.
10:18
Zarra, a white woman, but Latina on the show, suggests
10:21
that Bay get dreads like her.
10:24
DANI: Yeah.
10:24
KARA: And Bay's like, "So cool, would love to do that."
10:27
DANI: Really good idea.
10:28
KARA: John and Kathryn walk out to see them bombing The Thing.
10:32
They're a little stressed out, and then they meet Zarra for the first time,
10:36
and they're having a crash out 'cause they see Zarra's pelvic angel wing
10:40
tattoos and her culturally appropriative dreads and they're like, "Oh, no."
10:44
DANI: And then she makes a joke that she has kids.
10:47
Like, she tries to be like, "Ah, I could be a better parent to my own
10:50
kids." And everyone pauses 'cause no one knows if she's being serious or not.
10:53
KARA: I thought she was being serious for a second.
10:55
I didn't remember.
10:56
DANI: Also, Bay's being so mean to her mom in this scene.
10:59
She's like, "Oh yeah, my mom, she went to this lunch thing for parenting awards."
11:03
It was just, like, acting like, "Oh, yeah, my mom's, like, stupid fucking
11:07
side career thing was happening today." And then she's like, "By the
11:10
way, look what I spray painted on my car," and it looks really ugly.
11:14
KARA: And they're, like-
11:15
DANI: It's really bad.
11:16
KARA: I know.
11:16
That they paid for.
11:17
DANI: Yeah.
11:18
Like, it is her car to do what she wants with, I guess, technically.
11:22
KARA: But
11:22
DANI: it just looks bad.
11:22
But it, do something that looks good.
11:24
It's 'cause I, I think Zarra's art is really ugly.
11:27
KARA: Yeah.
11:28
I agree.
11:29
It's just, like, tentacles around the car.
11:30
DANI: And
11:30
KARA: this doesn't look
11:31
DANI: like Bay's art.
11:32
This looks like Zarra's design.
11:34
KARA: Mm, so true.
11:35
Zarra's taking over.
11:36
DANI: And then the parents go inside, and Bay's like, "And by
11:39
the way, I'm gonna get dreads."
11:40
So she's just, like, really on one this whole episode.
11:44
KARA: She is.
11:45
DANI: It's hard to watch.
11:46
KARA: She's kind of insufferable this episode.
11:48
DANI: And Kathryn's freaking out.
11:49
She's like, "She has wings down there."
11:51
KARA: Yeah, she goes to the guest house, and she is-
11:53
DANI: Yeah.
11:54
KARA: Basically crying to Regina and Adrianna.
11:57
DANI: Which I kind of liked.
11:58
KARA: Me too.
11:59
DANI: They're all, like, kind of trying to figure this out
12:01
together, and I really liked that.
12:03
KARA: Yeah.
12:03
Adrianna goes, "Well, Regina was the Zarra back then."
12:07
DANI: Yeah.
12:07
KARA: And Regi- Regina's like-
12:08
DANI: Regina goes- … "I wasn't that bad."
12:10
KARA: And then Adrianna's like, "Please. Girl, please."
12:12
DANI: Yeah, and then they're like, "You know what we did? We sent
12:15
Regina to art lessons, and that helped. Maybe something like that
12:19
for Bay." And what Kathryn hears is-
12:22
KARA: Boy.
12:22
DANI: Boy.
12:23
Okay, so there's an undertone this entire episode.
12:26
This is, I have to… Guys, Lizzy Weiss followed us on Instagram.
12:30
KARA: She did.
12:31
DANI: Which is huge, and I wanna DM her and ask if this was intentional.
12:34
It probably, I don't think it was.
12:36
I think I'm applying a 2026 reading to a 2012 episode.
12:40
But there is a layer here where Zarra and Bay have this queer tension between them.
12:46
KARA: Yes.
12:47
DANI: And Kathryn is freaked out.
12:49
Obviously she has other reasons to be freaked out, but then her response
12:54
is to be like, "We need to replace Zarra with this cute boy." "This
12:58
cute, harmless boy." And I feel like-
13:00
KARA: We need to make Bay straight.
13:01
DANI: Exactly.
13:02
There's like a reading of this episode that is her parents freaking out at
13:07
her showing a sense of otherness.
13:10
KARA: Mm-hmm.
13:10
DANI: And they're like, "Get her the normal straight boy."
13:14
KARA: I 100% agree.
13:15
DANI: ASAP.
13:15
KARA: 100% agree.
13:16
DANI: So I don't know.
13:17
It was really interesting, this whole episode.
13:19
That's what's happening for me this whole episode- that I'm seeing.
13:22
KARA: Meanwhile, Scuba arrives at the kitchen, and he's chatting with Daphne.
13:27
He's doing like a fake British accent, but she can't hear the
13:30
accent because she's Deaf, guys.
13:32
DANI: They have such a cute rapport.
13:33
KARA: Yeah.
13:34
DANI: I'm, I'm less bothered by Scuba.
13:35
KARA: Well, he's gonna bother me later.
13:36
DANI: He's about to bother me, but up until this point I've
13:39
been less bothered by Scuba.
13:40
KARA: And then he asks Daphne out.
13:41
He's like, "We should go do something after our shift." And she's like,
13:45
"Mm, the thing is I'm seeing someone." And he's like, "Right.
13:49
So sorry.
13:50
Forget I asked." Kathryn goes into Bay's bathroom to see Bay attempting
13:56
to twist her beautiful curly brown hair into culturally appropriative dreads.
14:02
And next to the bathroom mirror is- did you see this?
14:05
Next to the bathroom mirror is a picture that looks like it was taken from a
14:09
magazine of a Black woman with dreads.
14:11
DANI: I did not clock the photo.
14:13
KARA: Bay's using that as inspo.
14:16
But then Kathryn goes, "Take those shitty dreads out because I invited Alex and his
14:21
parents to dinner. Please be straight."
14:23
DANI: Yeah, there's something there.
14:24
She's literally trapping her into this hetero situation
14:29
with this very normie boy.
14:30
Alex is very sweet, and it's actually funny because earlier I was like,
14:34
"That's a gay man." But in this episode, they're playing him much more straight.
14:38
KARA: He's just, like, a normal-
14:40
DANI: And, like, boring.
14:41
KARA: Bookish boy.
14:42
But
14:42
DANI: he's sweet.
14:42
Yeah, he's sweet.
14:43
His parents are kooky as hell.
14:45
KARA: Yes.
14:45
DANI: Anyway, she's like, "Take the dreads out. A boy is coming for dinner."
14:50
KARA: And
14:50
DANI: Bay's like,
14:51
KARA: "nice try."
14:52
DANI: Yeah.
14:52
KARA: She's like, "I know what you're doing, and it's not gonna work."
14:55
DANI: Toby and Nikki are, like, having a musical moment.
14:58
KARA: Yeah, they're jamming out at the church.
14:59
DANI: And she makes a joke about how she likes country music.
15:02
Okay, fork found in kitchen.
15:04
She's like, "Wow, so the Christian you could handle, but not the country?"
15:08
All right, no one's surprised, chica.
15:10
KARA: No.
15:10
Also, Battle of the Bands is coming up.
15:12
DANI: Yeah.
15:12
KARA: What if we wrote a few songs together, and Toby goes, "I
15:15
don't know, I have band trauma."
15:17
DANI: He does have band trauma.
15:18
This episode is about Toby working through his band trauma 'cause he realizes it's
15:21
not as bad as other people's trauma.
15:23
And then at the end of this little exchange, it's just important to
15:26
note that they exchange, like, an awkward but flirty handshake.
15:29
KARA: Yes.
15:30
DANI: The two of them, for some reason, at the end.
15:32
Everyone's working in the kitchen back at Maize, and Chef Jeff walks by Daphne
15:37
and flicks the earring on her earlobe.
15:41
KARA: In, like, a weird, flirtatious way.
15:42
DANI: In, like, a weird, flirtatious way, and then walks past her and goes,
15:45
"What?" Like, she gives him a look, and he's like, "What?" Everyone can see this.
15:49
Everyone's looking, including Scuba.
15:51
KARA: Including Scuba.
15:52
DANI: Because they are in an open kitchen, and that is a teenager who he is
15:55
touching the ear of while you are at work.
15:59
Even if she was of age, he is- Can you- Can you imagine on The Bear,
16:04
you know how on The Bear everyone ships Jeremy Allen White and Ayo-
16:08
KARA: Yeah.
16:08
DANI: Together?
16:09
Can you imagine if he started acting like that towards Ayo in that kitchen?
16:13
That's the vibe that-
16:14
KARA: That'd
16:14
DANI: be crazy.
16:14
This show was trying to capture.
16:16
Okay, wait.
16:17
I don't remember who Kathryn's talking to.
16:19
Maybe it's John being like, "Why are we having these people over?"
16:22
Kathryn says, "We're giving her a more attractive option than that girl."
16:27
KARA: Yes.
16:28
That's right.
16:28
DANI: Crazy sentence to say if they're just, like, talking about, you know?
16:32
Like, the Kennishes are having gay panic.
16:34
KARA: They are.
16:35
DANI: A more attractive option than that, and she says it like, "Than
16:38
that girl." Like, she spits girl.
16:40
KARA: I know.
16:41
DANI: Yeah.
16:41
KARA: She's terrified.
16:42
Huh.
16:43
Speaking of that attractive girl, Zarra leaves an art store.
16:47
DANI: Yeah.
16:47
KARA: Which is called Da Vinci's Paintbrush.
16:49
Great name.
16:50
She's in front of Bay's car, and then she's- it's a convertible,
16:53
so Zarra's able to reach in and start rummaging through it.
16:57
DANI: Yeah.
16:57
KARA: Daphne is on a bike, I guess?
16:59
Daphne rides a bike.
17:01
Again, looks-
17:01
DANI: What
17:01
KARA: happened to Daphne's car?
17:01
Yeah, what happened to her Volvo?
17:04
She's helping the environment.
17:05
DANI: I guess?
17:07
Anyway, she's riding her bike.
17:09
KARA: She stops.
17:09
DANI: Maybe they just wanna emphasize how childlike she is.
17:12
KARA: She's wearing, like-
17:14
DANI: A pink helmet.
17:14
KARA: A pink floral helmet.
17:16
She looks five.
17:17
DANI: I did just buy a very similar helmet for roller skating, but that's okay.
17:21
I don't look five otherwise.
17:23
KARA: No, you don't.
17:24
DANI: So it's fine.
17:25
KARA: She sees Zarra rummaging through the car, and she goes, "Hey, back off.
17:29
I know the owner of this car." And Zarra goes, "Girl, me too."
17:32
But then Bay pops in.
17:34
She's coming with, like- coffee.
17:36
And she's like, "Hey, girls. Daphne, I see you've met Zarra." And Zarra looks jumpy.
17:42
DANI: Yeah, Zarra looks really jumpy.
17:43
I understand her being like, "Weird, are you being racist or…"
17:47
But it's like, well, no, 'cause you're a strange person rummaging.
17:52
Daphne's never seen you before.
17:53
KARA: Yes.
17:54
I agree.
17:54
DANI: I think Daphne's in the right to be like, "What are you doing?"
17:57
KARA: Why are you looking through my sister's car?
17:59
DANI: Yeah.
18:00
And Zarra's really rude to Daphne.
18:02
KARA: She is.
18:02
DANI: Zarra just doesn't, won't even like look in her eyes.
18:05
It's very odd.
18:06
KARA: And Daphne catches on, like the vibes are weird.
18:09
DANI: And Bay's like, "Have fun at work." Bay does not read the room.
18:12
KARA: No.
18:12
DANI: And then Daphne's at work.
18:14
KARA: Yeah, she biked to work.
18:16
DANI: And Scuba like completely fucks up the shrimp.
18:19
KARA: He, like, was supposed to poach the shrimp, and he completely overcooked
18:23
it, and it's all the shrimp the kitchen has, and it's, they're using the
18:27
shrimp for like 12 different dishes.
18:28
DANI: Yeah.
18:29
KARA: And he's like, "That's fu- I'm fucked."
18:31
DANI: Yeah, like, "I'm gonna get fired, unless Daphne, you take the fall for me."
18:36
KARA: Yeah, take the bullet.
18:37
DANI: And Daphne's like, "What the fuck?
18:38
I didn't cook the shrimp." And he's like, "Yeah, but your
18:40
boyfriend's not gonna fire you."
18:42
KARA: Yeah.
18:43
DANI: And it seems a little threatening, and so Daphne's like, "Uh-oh."
18:47
But then Daphne also likes Scuba and cares about him.
18:50
KARA: Yeah.
18:50
DANI: So there's that element, too.
18:52
Like, she doesn't want him to get fired.
18:54
KARA: Scuba, instead of throwing away the shrimp, decides to put it in a
18:57
bowl and wrap it in Saran Wrap for Chef Jeff to then find and then yell.
19:03
DANI: Yeah.
19:04
KARA: Usually when you mess up something, put it in compost, guys, or throw it away.
19:08
DANI: I hon- if I was Scuba and I was scared to tell him, I'd throw it
19:11
away and then be like, "What shrimp? I didn't find any shrimp back there."
19:14
KARA: Well, Chef Jeff would know.
19:15
He seems very on top of it.
19:16
DANI: Yeah, but he knows no matter what.
19:18
None of Scuba's lies are gonna work.
19:19
KARA: Well, anyway, Chef Jeff finds a bowl of overcooked
19:23
shrimp, starts yelling at Scuba.
19:24
DANI: Yeah.
19:25
KARA: And then Daphne.
19:26
DANI: He's yelling.
19:27
KARA: Takes the fall.
19:28
DANI: He's yelling at Scuba, and Daphne pipes up from the back like,
19:30
"He didn't do it. It was me." And-
19:33
KARA: He, like, fake admonishes her in front of everyone.
19:36
Like, "Wow, you don't know how to cook shrimp?"
19:39
DANI: Yeah.
19:39
KARA: "How stupid are you?"
19:40
DANI: Yeah.
19:40
He, like, definitely goes easy on her, and also you can tell,
19:44
like, he doesn't believe her.
19:45
No one in the kitchen believes her.
19:47
KARA: No, because everyone else knows whose job is whose.
19:51
DANI: Yeah.
19:51
KARA: That's how a kitchen works.
19:52
DANI: Right.
19:53
KARA: And also, when Scuba-
19:53
DANI: And also, Daphne's like, "Yeah, he asked me to do it, and I messed it
19:57
up." And it's like, okay, well, that was Scuba's one job, so if he asked you to
20:01
do it, that's still Scuba fucking up.
20:03
KARA: I agree.
20:03
DANI: 'Cause why isn't Scuba doing his one job?
20:05
KARA: Yeah.
20:06
DANI: So no matter what, Scuba still looks bad.
20:08
Like, Daphne lying and taking the fall doesn't make him look better, actually.
20:12
KARA: No, not at all.
20:12
DANI: It just makes him look worse in a new way.
20:15
KARA: Yeah.
20:15
I can't believe Patrick is back.
20:17
DANI: Patrick is back.
20:19
I was like, what the hell?
20:21
KARA: This is, this will be his last episode.
20:23
DANI: Okay.
20:23
KARA: I'm pretty sure.
20:24
DANI: I don't know, 'cause they didn't really have, like, a blowout fight.
20:29
KARA: He, but he walks away at the end.
20:30
DANI: I kinda feel like he's gonna turn Regina in to, like… or
20:33
turn Angelo in for, like, fraud.
20:36
KARA: Oh my God, yeah.
20:37
DANI: He, like, has a real chip on his shoulder over Angelo, which I get.
20:41
He's justified.
20:42
Although, I think as adults, I would imagine, they've been dating for what?
20:46
A couple of months.
20:47
KARA: Yeah.
20:48
DANI: I'm sure I'd feel differently if I was in this situation, but I think to be
20:51
dating for a couple of months and then come into what is clearly a long-running
20:57
history with some other man, I get him being jealous, but him being like, "I want
21:03
you to, like, give that all up for me."
21:05
KARA: Yeah, it's not gonna work.
21:07
DANI: Like, I think you have to just be like, "Okay, I'm either in this and
21:10
I have to accept that it's gonna be a little bit weird, but clearly she must
21:13
still like me if she's bothering to keep me around, or I'm completely out."
21:19
KARA: Yeah.
21:19
DANI: But him being like, "I'm in it, but I don't wanna listen to you talk
21:23
on the phone with your fake husband, who's also the father of your child."
21:27
KARA: Right.
21:28
DANI: Is a little bit crazy.
21:30
KARA: Yeah.
21:30
DANI: I don't know.
21:31
I just, I'm-
21:32
KARA: I agree.
21:33
DANI: I don't really have any empathy for Patrick.
21:35
You're a grown adult.
21:35
You knew what you were getting into.
21:37
KARA: Yeah.
21:38
Anyways, the only point of this scene is that Regina in her stupid wrist
21:42
brace invites him to dinner with the Kennishes and Alex's family.
21:45
DANI: Yes, and the way that she phrases it.
21:48
KARA: Go on.
21:49
DANI: Is so fucked up.
21:50
KARA: Tell me.
21:51
DANI: She's like, "I'm having dinner tonight with the Kennishes.
21:54
Like, do you wanna come?" And he asks, "Will Daphne be there?" And she says,
21:58
"No, just me." And he says, "Dinner with you and the Kennishes with no kids?
22:03
That'll be a first." She's like, "I know."
22:05
KARA: Bay's there.
22:06
DANI: Bay's gonna be there.
22:07
Her daughter is going to be there.
22:09
KARA: Is that what she says?
22:10
DANI: Yes.
22:11
KARA: Oh.
22:11
DANI: She's fully like, "It'll just be us, like no kids."
22:15
KARA: No, Bay and Alex are there, who are kids.
22:16
DANI: Bay and Alex are there.
22:18
KARA: Who are kids.
22:18
DANI: Her daughter and then her daughter's forced-upon-her boyfriend.
22:22
KARA: Yes.
22:23
Agree.
22:23
DANI: So it's just like Regina, tap in a little.
22:26
KARA: I know.
22:26
She really has blinders whenever she's with a guy.
22:29
DANI: It's a real problem for her.
22:30
KARA: Yeah.
22:30
Patrick does come to the guest house for dinner.
22:32
DANI: He comes to the guest house for dinner, and the fact that at
22:35
some point the writers decided it was going to be a long-running joke
22:38
to comment on the fact that Regina hates Indian food is so random to me.
22:42
KARA: 'Cause Adrianna doesn't stay.
22:44
She's like, "I'm going out for Indian food with my friend."
22:46
DANI: And Patrick's like, "Regina hates Indian food."
22:49
KARA: And Adrianna's like, "I know. That's why I'm going
22:51
without her." I love Indian food.
22:53
DANI: So they're having that random inside joke, whatever,
22:57
and then Regina's phone rings.
22:58
KARA: She asks-
22:59
DANI: She's right there.
23:00
She's just putting in an earring.
23:01
And-
23:02
KARA: It takes two seconds.
23:03
DANI: The phone is right next to her.
23:05
KARA: But she asks Patrick to pick it up.
23:06
DANI: She asks Patrick to pick it up and hand it to her.
23:10
KARA: Patrick picks up the phone, sees that it's Angelo, and he's like,
23:13
"I'm not answering that. Here you go, Regina." Regina answers it, and it's
23:16
Angelo speaking from Lake Michigan.
23:18
Remember, he's working there, and he has some stupid question.
23:21
DANI: Yeah, he can't remember-
23:24
KARA: The name of
23:24
DANI: the person he's working for.
23:24
The name of the person he's working for because he's so bad with names.
23:29
And so Regina admonishes him for this.
23:33
KARA: But she's also giggling.
23:34
DANI: But she's also giggling and being very flirty, and then gets
23:37
off the phone and is like, "He's just really bad with names." Like,
23:41
starts talking to Patrick about it.
23:43
KARA: Yeah, and Patrick is clearly uncomfortable.
23:45
DANI: This is, as much as I'm like, "I don't have empathy for Patrick. Get out of
23:49
this situation," this is insane of Regina.
23:52
KARA: That is insane.
23:53
DANI: To be like, they, she's actively flirty.
23:55
She loves Angelo.
23:57
Just be with Angelo.
23:58
You guys are literally married.
23:59
KARA: I know.
24:00
DANI: It's pissing me off.
24:01
KARA: It is.
24:02
It's dinner time.
24:02
DANI: Yeah, and Alex and his parents are there.
24:05
KARA: And the parents are like, "Did you know our children are
24:08
the greatest people in the world?"
24:10
DANI: At one point they genuinely say, "Our children are
24:12
fantastic at standardized tests."
24:15
KARA: Yeah.
24:15
DANI: They're, like, so bragging about their kids, it's making John
24:19
and Kathryn feel like shit 'cause their kids are nightmares right now.
24:23
KARA: And also they're talking about their kids getting ready for college.
24:26
DANI: Yeah.
24:26
KARA: They're doing all this volunteer work.
24:27
DANI: Yeah.
24:28
KARA: They're-
24:28
DANI: They're playing silly sports.
24:30
KARA: Yeah, one's fencing.
24:31
DANI: Yeah, one's doing fencing, and they're like, "Colleges
24:34
love those niche sports." Okay.
24:36
KARA: Yeah, and John and Kathryn I think are like, "College?
24:39
Shit, didn't really think about that."
24:40
DANI: Didn't really think about that.
24:42
KARA: Which is crazy to me.
24:43
I-
24:43
DANI: It's totally-
24:43
KARA: Growing up in Mission Hills?
24:45
DANI: I know.
24:46
KARA: With all these WASPy parents who-
24:48
DANI: They've been busy.
24:49
I think they probably were thinking about it, and then they found
24:52
out their daughters got switched at birth, and they were like,
24:54
"Okay, we're a little busy now."
24:56
KARA: Yeah.
24:56
Alex shows up.
24:57
He's thrilled to see Bay.
24:58
DANI: Yeah.
24:59
He's like, "I wanted an exc- I've been trying to come up with an excuse to see
25:02
you, and now this." And she's like, "Whoa.
25:04
I did not ask you to be here." I feel really bad for Alex.
25:07
KARA: I know.
25:08
DANI: He's really sweet.
25:09
KARA: He's a sweet guy.
25:10
DANI: He's a sweetheart, and-
25:11
KARA: And she's gonna rope him into all these-
25:13
DANI: Yeah.
25:13
KARA: Activities later on.
25:14
DANI: Bay is trouble.
25:16
KARA: I know.
25:17
DANI: I am kind of like, he's such a catch.
25:20
Why is he into her?
25:21
He can't find another girl to date?
25:24
Like a better girl- a less messy girl to date?
25:27
KARA: Guess not.
25:28
DANI: I know that's how teenagers work, but, like, he
25:30
is so normie and, like, chill.
25:32
And cute.
25:32
He's a cutie.
25:33
KARA: Yeah.
25:34
I agree.
25:35
DANI: Whatever.
25:35
KARA: I don't know.
25:36
DANI: Toby and Nikki are at the music shop.
25:38
KARA: Yeah, they're looking at guitars.
25:39
DANI: They're looking at guitars.
25:40
The guy working at the music shop is being sexist, and Nikki's like, "Let me see
25:44
that one," and it's, like, a fancy guitar.
25:46
And he's like, "This might be a little heavy for you." And then
25:48
she puts it on, and her body double absolutely shreds on the guitar.
25:52
KARA: Is it her body double?
25:52
DANI: Yes.
25:53
They cut… It's, like, her holding the guitar, and then
25:55
they cut to a much larger woman.
25:58
They aren't showing her head.
26:00
She's got much bigger hands.
26:01
She's absolutely shredding, and then they cut back to her.
26:04
KARA: That's
26:04
DANI: so funny.
26:04
It's so clearly a body double.
26:06
KARA: I'm really bad with hearing, obviously, but I knew
26:08
she was good because the captions said, "plays impressive chord."
26:12
DANI: Yeah.
26:12
I mean, I'm saying contextually it's impressive, 'cause everyone
26:16
goes, "Whoa." But I couldn't tell you if it was actually anything.
26:20
KARA: Sure.
26:21
DANI: And Toby's like, "Wow, I think she can handle it,
26:23
man." And it's funny, whatever.
26:25
And then-
26:27
KARA: She gets a call.
26:27
DANI: Nikki gets a phone call, and she's like, "Sorry, it's my boyfriend."
26:30
Record scratch.
26:31
KARA: She hangs up, and she's like, "Yeah, sorry, that's my boyfriend.
26:34
We're long distance, though."
26:36
DANI: Yeah.
26:36
She's like, "Long distance sucks." And he's like, "Uh." And she's
26:40
like, "Look, I know this is awkward.
26:41
You clearly thought something was happening.
26:43
I didn't wanna say anything, 'cause I didn't wanna be presumptuous and assume
26:47
that you thought something was happening.
26:49
But let's push past this awkward moment by going into the back room of this music
26:54
shop, where I'm gonna play you a song that I wrote." So she's singing this
26:57
song in the back room quietly to him.
27:01
It's, like, a soft acoustic song.
27:02
It kinda sounds like a song about someone breaking her heart.
27:06
KARA: Yes.
27:06
DANI: Toby's like, "Wow, I hope whoever broke your heart got to hear that."
27:11
And she's like, "Oh, it's about the man that shot and killed my father."
27:15
KARA: They never found him.
27:15
DANI: They never found him, and it was just, like, some random guy, according to
27:19
the police, who thought that my dad was someone else, and he was just sitting in
27:22
a parking lot at a mall and got murdered.
27:25
KARA: And after that, I started doing drugs and stopped eating,
27:28
but then I learned to let go of my anger, and now I'm normal again.
27:31
DANI: So that's sort of what Nikki's got going on, and
27:34
Toby's like, "Holy shit. Um-"
27:36
KARA: "Have you considered therapy?"
27:37
DANI: Yeah.
27:38
He's like- … "What the fuck? Also, I guess my shit is fine
27:41
and normal and whatever."
27:42
KARA: Then he goes to Emmett's house.
27:44
DANI: Yeah.
27:44
So Toby's like- I can handle my own shit, turns out.
27:48
Like, I need to let my anger go if Nikki can let her anger go.
27:52
KARA: I can also compartmentalize, guys.
27:54
DANI: Yeah.
27:54
So he shows up, this is at the very end of the episode, he
27:58
shows up to Emmett's house.
27:59
KARA: Yes.
28:00
DANI: And did you think this was so, from Emmett's point of view, imagine
28:05
you are chilling in your bed, listening to music, having a grand old time,
28:10
relaxed as fuck, shoes on the bed.
28:12
And the last time you saw Toby pushed you to the ground.
28:16
I was like, Emmett must think he's about to die.
28:19
Toby's a rich kid from Mission Hills.
28:21
John Kennish absolutely has guns in the house.
28:23
We know that.
28:24
KARA: Yeah.
28:25
Emmett's like, "This is my last day on Earth."
28:26
DANI: Toby absolutely could have snapped, got a gun, showed up
28:31
at his house, and shot him in his own bed, and that's what I-
28:34
KARA: But Toby's like, "I'm not gonna be the man that killed Nikki's father."
28:37
DANI: Exactly.
28:37
I'm gonna-
28:37
KARA: I'm letting go of my anger.
28:38
DANI: Yeah, can you imagine Toby's inspired by that story in
28:41
a completely different direction?
28:42
He's like, "Oh my God."
28:43
KARA: Wait, I'm not gonna shoot him.
28:44
DANI: Random gun violence.
28:46
No.
28:46
So he's like, "I want to start the band up again." And he's signing
28:53
very basically, but he is signing.
28:55
KARA: He's signing.
28:55
DANI: Which is an important improvement.
28:57
And Emmett's like, "Guitar Face?" And Toby's like, "No.
29:00
New band, new sound, new start." And Emmett's like, "I'm in."
29:05
KARA: And they start talking about band names.
29:07
DANI: Okay.
29:07
Oh my God.
29:08
KARA: And one of the band names they say is Third World Bus Plunge.
29:12
So offensive.
29:14
DANI: Yeah, and then Emmett says, "It's not PC, but it'll get attention."
29:18
Did you guys learn nothing from naming your band Free Beer for an afternoon?
29:22
Come on.
29:22
KARA: Right.
29:23
Everyone was mad at you.
29:24
DANI: Yeah.
29:24
Let's not do that again.
29:25
And that is how the episode ends, which is, like, I thought really weird, so
29:29
that's not how our episode's gonna end.
29:30
We just wrapped that storyline up for you guys ahead of time.
29:32
KARA: Yeah, that B plot.
29:33
DANI: It was very odd.
29:35
So much was going on, and then they ended on, like, panning up out
29:39
of Emmett's house, where Toby and Emmett are, like, having a little ki.
29:42
KARA: Yeah.
29:43
DANI: Very strange.
29:44
Okay.
29:45
Back at dinner.
29:46
KARA: Yes, back at dinner.
29:47
Alex's-
29:47
DANI: Alex's parents are like, "How long have you guys been married?" And
29:51
Regina lies and says, "Three months." And Patrick's very upset about this.
29:55
KARA: Yes.
29:56
Bay then gets a blocked call, and it's Zarra at the county jail.
30:00
She got jumped by Smak and his buddies and she needs $1,500 in bail to get out.
30:06
DANI: Yeah, because she's like, "You gotta get me out of here. Things are crazy
30:10
in here. Like, I'm not safe in here."
30:12
KARA: Doesn't say what she was arrested for.
30:14
Just says she got jumped.
30:15
DANI: Yeah.
30:16
KARA: And Bay tries to ask, and Zarra's like, "Whatever. Just get me out of
30:19
here. You have to get me out of here."
30:20
DANI: Yeah.
30:21
So Bay runs back in in the middle of dinner and is like, "Alex, let's go
30:25
get gelato from that place we like, and we can bring some back for everyone."
30:29
And Alex thankfully reads the room and is like, "Okay, I'm gonna go."
30:32
KARA: Yeah.
30:33
DANI: And they just kinda take off in the middle of dinner.
30:35
KARA: And John and Kathryn are thrilled, 'cause, like,
30:36
great, she goes out with a boy.
30:37
DANI: Yeah.
30:38
They're fine- yeah, Kathryn's like, "Whatever. As long as she's
30:40
straight, I don't, I don't care."
30:42
KARA: Yeah.
30:42
DANI: Whatever she's doing is fine as long as it's with a straight man.
30:45
And this frees the parents up to have a very bizarre evening, because Alex's
30:51
parents are kooky as hell, and the second their child leaves, Kathryn
30:56
and John go into the kitchen and they're cutting the cheesecake that
30:59
Kathryn so nicely prepped for dessert.
31:01
KARA: Delicious.
31:01
DANI: That Bay and Alex are abandoning.
31:03
And her and John are freaking out.
31:05
They're like, "Oh my God."
31:06
KARA: College.
31:07
DANI: "Our kids suck. They're not gonna get into college. Like, remember Toby
31:10
played lacrosse, and then he quit, and, like, Bay doesn't do anything but illegal
31:13
stuff," and, like, all this stuff.
31:15
Whatever.
31:15
Alex's mom comes in and is like, "Can we put some music on?"
31:18
And they're like, "Oh, sure.
31:19
What did you have in mind?" And she's like, "Well, I teach salsa, and I would
31:22
like to teach everyone salsa now."
31:24
KARA: Come on, white woman.
31:25
DANI: She's really
31:26
… KARA: She, like, had three glasses of wine or something.
31:28
DANI: Yeah.
31:29
KARA: She's ready to go.
31:29
DANI: She's ready to go.
31:30
I kind of love her.
31:31
KARA: Me too.
31:32
DANI: She was just like, "This party's weird. Let's make it weirder." And so then
31:36
we get 10 minutes of the Kennishes and Alex's parents and Regina and Patrick-
31:42
KARA: Dancing.
31:42
DANI: Dancing.
31:43
KARA: And Patrick notices Regina is dancing very well.
31:47
First of all, 'cause Constance Marie actually is a dancer.
31:50
DANI: Yeah.
31:50
KARA: But then Regina's character is like, "Well, I had some
31:53
dance lessons in the past."
31:54
DANI: And this upsets Patrick very much.
31:57
KARA: Well, he deduces immediately that she's had dance lessons with Angelo.
32:00
DANI: And Alex's mom keeps saying, "If you're good at salsa, you're
32:04
good at something else, too." Like, she's being so weird.
32:07
KARA: And Patrick's like, "Well, great. Now I'm thinking about you guys fucking."
32:10
DANI: Yeah.
32:11
Okay.
32:12
Sorry you can't handle the heat, Patrick.
32:14
KARA: Yeah.
32:14
DANI: Get out of there, then.
32:16
John cannot move his hips at all.
32:18
They're salsa dancing.
32:19
But him and Kathryn are really cute together.
32:22
Like, he's, he can't dance, but he's not being like, "Ah, I'm gonna sit
32:26
out." Kathryn's like, "Stand in the center and I'll move around you."
32:29
And John's like, "Okay." And he starts, like, he's being v- they're, they're
32:33
really cute together this episode.
32:33
KARA: It's so cute.
32:34
He, like, puts his hands up and starts, like, waving his arms-
32:36
DANI: Yeah.
32:36
KARA: And then Kathryn dances around him.
32:38
DANI: Patrick makes a joke earlier in the evening that, like, maybe he and Regina
32:41
are gonna get lucky tonight, and they definitely are not, but John and Kathryn
32:44
are definitely getting it on later.
32:46
KARA: Absolutely.
32:47
It was really cute.
32:48
But Patrick leaves the dance after finding out, after thinking
32:52
about Regina and Angelo fucking.
32:53
He's like-
32:54
DANI: Yeah.
32:54
KARA: "This marriage is more real than you think it is."
32:57
DANI: Yeah.
32:57
And he exits the scene.
32:59
And that's when you think he's gone forever.
33:00
KARA: I think that's it.
33:02
DANI: I don't wanna say that 'cause I feel like there's been, like, three times
33:05
so far I've been like, "Bye, Patrick," and then he fucking shows up again.
33:08
So-
33:08
KARA: Yeah, you're right.
33:09
We all-
33:10
DANI: I feel like he's gonna keep coming around.
33:12
KARA: Yeah, we don't know.
33:13
Bay is trying to get money from the ATM.
33:15
DANI: And she is learning for the first time that ATMs have caps on
33:19
how much money you can get out.
33:20
KARA: Is it 300?
33:21
DANI: Mine is.
33:22
KARA: Yeah, I guess you're right.
33:24
She's like, "I can only get 300. Alex, could I have money?" And Alex
33:27
is like, "Are you kidding me? No."
33:29
DANI: She managed to drive him over to this ATM without
33:33
telling him what was happening.
33:34
KARA: Yeah, he's just being lugged around.
33:36
He doesn't know what's happening.
33:36
DANI: He doesn't know.
33:37
So then finally she gets a call from 8-Ball.
33:40
8-Ball.
33:40
Who's back to school special ass is like, "You gotta get her outta there, man.
33:45
You just gotta figure it out and get her out." He's, like, on the verge of tears.
33:49
She's like, "Fuck, okay." Bay is really freaked out.
33:52
She looks so small and little-
33:53
KARA: I know.
33:53
DANI: At the ATM.
33:54
She's very scared.
33:55
And then Alex is finally like, "Okay, what is happening here?" And Bay's like, "My
33:59
friend is in jail." And he's like, "Okay.
34:01
Well, you could've led with that." Like, I, he's more cooperative
34:05
once he's like, "Okay, there's a real situation happening here."
34:08
KARA: And Bay's idea now is to go to the car wash.
34:11
Alex has no idea why they're going to the car wash.
34:13
DANI: Why is he not asking follow-up questions?
34:15
He's-
34:16
KARA: So odd.
34:17
DANI: He is cute and, like, normie.
34:19
He's kind of NPC.
34:20
Like, he doesn't really have anything going on for him.
34:24
KARA: They head to the car wash to, quote, "borrow money."
34:27
DANI: Yeah.
34:27
KARA: From the safe.
34:28
And they walk into the office and who is there but Travis.
34:32
DANI: Travis.
34:32
KARA: Who's sleeping on the couch in the office.
34:35
DANI: Yeah.
34:36
And he's like- Bay is very up front with him.
34:39
She's like, "I need to take money out of the safe. I'm gonna replace it
34:42
tomorrow. My friend is in trouble."
34:44
KARA: Mm-hmm.
34:44
DANI: And Travis knows the combination.
34:47
KARA: Well, I like that Bay-
34:48
DANI: Which Bay doesn't.
34:49
So she just showed up without a plan.
34:51
Thank God Travis was there.
34:53
KARA: I guess.
34:53
DANI: Yeah.
34:54
KARA: Yeah.
34:54
Maybe she was gonna, like, look around the office for the code.
34:56
DANI: Yeah.
34:56
And Travis at first is like, "Well, you're the boss's daughter, like what
35:00
am I supposed to do in this situation?"
35:02
And Bay looks at him, his setup there, and says, "I'm not gonna tell
35:06
my dad you're sleeping here. Even if you don't help me, I'm not gonna
35:09
snitch on you." Which is really nice.
35:11
KARA: I know.
35:11
DANI: She's frantic, but she's not an asshole.
35:13
KARA: No.
35:14
DANI: She's like, "It's none of my business if you're- why you're
35:16
sleeping here." But it is our business.
35:18
Do we think Travis is okay?
35:19
KARA: I just think he's so unhappy at home.
35:21
DANI: Yeah.
35:22
We're gonna … I'm sure we'll find out what's going on, but-
35:24
KARA: Get Regina and Angelo out of the guest house, put Travis in there.
35:28
DANI: Literally.
35:29
KARA: Right.
35:29
DANI: Literally.
35:30
So Travis is like, "Okay, I will help you."
35:33
KARA: He opens the safe.
35:34
DANI: He opens the safe.
35:35
He signs to Bay, after he gives her the money, he says like,
35:39
"This is my responsibility."
35:41
KARA: Yeah.
35:41
DANI: Like, "I'm, I'm responsible."
35:43
KARA: Mm-hmm.
35:43
DANI: But the script and captions say, "This is my ass on the line."
35:47
KARA: Yes, I did notice that.
35:49
And Bay's like, "Me too."
35:50
DANI: But, like, not as much.
35:51
KARA: No, 'cause she's the daughter.
35:53
DANI: She's the daughter, and also she didn't know the combination.
35:55
KARA: True.
35:56
DANI: So she gets the money.
35:58
KARA: Yeah.
35:58
DANI: Back at the kitchen.
35:59
KARA: Chef Jeff pulls Daphne aside and says, "That yelling
36:03
at you, that was all for show."
36:04
DANI: He pulls her into the freezer with the door open and
36:08
is like, "I'm really mad at you.
36:10
I'm sorry." And she's like, "I understand, Chef." And-
36:16
KARA: Also, I will be firing Scuba, 'cause I know he fucked up the shrimp and
36:19
then made you take the bullet for him.
36:21
DANI: Yeah, which, not to agree with Chef Jeff, but, like, I'm just… If I
36:25
were him, that's what I would do as well.
36:27
KARA: Making the mistake, fine, but then making the high schooler
36:31
take the blame for it, that's-
36:33
DANI: Yeah.
36:33
KARA: That's not cool.
36:34
So he says to Scuba, "This is your last shift. Goodbye." And
36:38
Scuba immediately retaliates.
36:40
DANI: He basically just says, like, "Well, that's your girlfriend."
36:43
KARA: Loudly.
36:44
DANI: Yeah.
36:45
"You're just mad because your girlfriend tried to help me out."
36:49
KARA: Yeah, and he yells.
36:51
DANI: He yells, "Girlfriend," so then everyone in the kitchen looks over.
36:53
And then Jeff is like, "You're done. Get out of here."
36:57
KARA: Everyone should be like-
36:58
DANI: Right.
36:58
KARA: "Isn't she a minor?"
36:59
DANI: No, exactly.
37:00
So then everyone is kind of looking around, like, shiftily.
37:03
And then after the shift, Daphne stays behind, and she's, she's,
37:08
like, eating a piece of pie in the closed dining room, which is,
37:11
like, who's gonna wash that dish?
37:13
KARA: She
37:13
DANI: is.
37:13
Like, the kitchen's closed.
37:14
I guess her, yeah.
37:14
But she's in her regular clothes again, and Jeff comes out, and he's like, "Oh,
37:18
you're still here?" And she's like, "Yeah.
37:20
I'm freaked out, 'cause everyone now is going to think that I'm only employed
37:25
here 'cause I'm your girlfriend," which it's like, you're not his girlfriend.
37:27
Like, they haven't had that talk yet.
37:29
You're definitely-
37:30
KARA: No,
37:30
DANI: they have not
37:31
. Not his girlfriend.
37:32
You definitely are a teenager, so they are not going to be… She's like, "I
37:35
feel like everyone's gonna be talking about how I got this job because I'm
37:38
your girlfriend." And it's like, no, they're gonna be talking about the
37:41
fact that their boss is dating a minor.
37:44
KARA: That is a crime.
37:45
DANI: Yeah.
37:45
KARA: Oh, my boss is-
37:46
DANI: She's like, "I just feel like a bimbo." And it's like, you mean a victim?
37:50
KARA: But Chef Jeff is like, "No, you, I didn't even want you
37:53
here. You proved yourself to me."
37:55
DANI: Right.
37:55
He's like, "No one else- As long as you know that you deserve this job, it doesn't
37:59
even matter what other people think."
38:00
And it's like, well, it matters-
38:01
KARA: It does.
38:02
DANI: It does … what other people say to the authorities.
38:04
KARA: It really does, guys.
38:06
DANI: So yeah, that's bad, but it seems like they're not actually that
38:09
worried about it, like they're gonna keep dating/kissing in the kitchen.
38:14
KARA: The very last scene, Bay brings bail money to the precinct.
38:17
She's waiting outside with Alex for Zarra to come out.
38:20
Zarra leaves the jail, along with one other guy, Mouse, who Bay also bailed
38:27
out but Zarra failed to mention.
38:29
DANI: Yeah, Zarra did not mention that Mouse was in there with her, and-
38:32
KARA: She
38:33
DANI: lies.
38:33
Bay's like, "Oh, Mouse, you were in there, too? Like, how did you get out?"
38:36
And he's like, "You bailed me out." So she really only needed $750 in bail money.
38:43
KARA: Yes.
38:43
DANI: And asked for double so that both of them could get out.
38:46
KARA: And Zarra's like, "I told you."
38:48
DANI: Yeah, Zarra's being really shifty.
38:50
Her face is, like, beat up.
38:51
KARA: Yeah.
38:52
DANI: And she's like, "Also, Smak and his boys were in there with us."
38:55
KARA: I don't know if that's true.
38:56
DANI: I don't feel that… I mean, who knows, cops suck.
38:59
But, like, to arrest a bunch of people for fighting and then put
39:03
all the people that were fighting in the same holding cell feels insane.
39:06
KARA: I agree.
39:07
DANI: But you know what?
39:08
I wouldn't put it past them, so maybe.
39:09
But we see no proof-
39:11
KARA: We
39:11
DANI: see no proof.
39:11
That they're in there.
39:12
We don't really know what happened.
39:14
And then Bay's like, "Great, I kinda need that money back now."
39:17
And Zarra's like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:18
No, like, when I go to my court date, you will get it back."
39:21
Which is how bail money works.
39:23
KARA: Yes.
39:23
DANI: You have to show up to all your court dates, and then a judge can still
39:26
be like, "No, we're keeping this," if you do anything wrong, basically.
39:29
KARA: Yes.
39:30
DANI: But in theory she'll get it back, but she won't get it back until after
39:34
Zarra's legal situation is settled.
39:36
KARA: I think Bay thought Zarra had the money, just not
39:38
on her person at that moment.
39:40
DANI: Right.
39:41
KARA: So Bay's like, just go back to your trailer where you're homeless and-
39:44
DANI: And get me the $1,500.
39:47
KARA: And Zarra's like, "If I could, I would." I don't think she would, honestly.
39:51
DANI: No, she definitely wouldn't.
39:52
Yeah, and so Bay's sat on the curb freaking the fuck out.
39:55
KARA: She's been had.
39:56
DANI: Yeah.
39:57
And Alex is like, "Just so you know, I texted our parents and added
40:00
to our cover story so they're not stressed." And Bay's like, "Thanks.
40:03
Sorry I'm so shitty."
40:05
KARA: Yeah.
40:05
Poor Bay.
40:06
DANI: I know.
40:07
Poor Bay, but she's making bad ju-
40:09
KARA: I know.
40:09
DANI: I know it's just like she's a teenager, and the point is she's gonna
40:12
make bad choices, but Zarra is so sus.
40:15
Also, I don't believe her that Smak jumped her.
40:17
I'm pretty sure that's a lie.
40:18
I don't really remember.
40:20
KARA: She definitely got beat up, though.
40:21
DANI: She definitely got beat up, but I'm like, I don't know.
40:23
KARA: I just wonder if-
40:24
DANI: Oh, and then she's like, "By the way, Bay, stay out of my side
40:28
of town for a while- because Smak recognizes your car because we bombed
40:33
it, and also it's a very unique car."
40:35
KARA: Yes.
40:36
DANI: "And so you're in danger." So Bay's like, "I'm in trouble at home,
40:39
I'm in danger in the real world."
40:40
KARA: Great, thank you.
40:41
DANI: Great.
40:42
Awesome.
40:42
I, like, totally abused Alex.
40:45
KARA: Yeah.
40:45
DANI: Travis is gonna get in trouble, or I'm gonna have to
40:47
tell John about the missing money.
40:50
KARA: I know.
40:51
I don't remember what happens next.
40:52
DANI: Me either.
40:53
Can't wait to watch the next episode, I guess.
40:55
KARA: Can't wait.
40:57
Tune in next week, guys.
40:58
DANI: Tune in next week.
40:59
Bye, guys.
41:00
KARA: Bye.
