I found out that I didn’t know how to spell decathlon… so the likelihood that I’ll ever be in an academic decathlon are slim.
Politically correct panel.
We begin at a school that is holding an academic decathlon trial. One boy, Pierce Higgins, is clearly the smartest… he also appears to have a way-too-involved mother in the audience.
You’re daddy left you because you’re not smart enough.
At Nick’s house, Juliette and Nick are getting dolled up to go to some work/award dinner. Juliette can’t get her dress zipped up, so she acts all coy when asking Nick to help her. The zipper gets stuck… and I laugh. Nick warns Juliette the evening may be dull (duller than Juliette?) and that Cpt. Renard may drone on (impossible).
Can you get this for me?
It appears to be stuck on a mole.
After the decathlon trial, Pierce and the rest of the kids go to a diner for some non-brain food and toast to whomever wins (or whoever?). The chick has a car, but no one is interested in hitching a ride, so they separate and head home.
One girl. Two cups.
Two guys. Two cups.
One guy. No cup.
Of course we know the black kid is about to bite the dust, as he’s walking in some random park and is all nonchalant; until he hears a noise. He stops, looks around and BAM! he is attacked by (what we will find out is) a Lowen and it rips his throat out.
I can’t believe they are killing me off first. Where’s Al Sharpton?
At the police gala, Cpt. Renard gives his speech and keeps making eye contact with Juliette. Hank and Sgt. Wu don’t appear to have dates. Well, there ARE random chicks at the table, but when they get called to the crime scene, no one acknowledges randoms, so I’m guessing they don’t count.
HEY JULIETTE! PAY ATTENTION.
After the speech, Cpt. Renard has drinks with Sgt. Wu, who may have already had a few. (Sgt. Wu make be under 5 feet tall… not that I care, my love for all things Wu runs deep… but the dude is v v petite.)
Oh Captain, my captain.
Yeah, I’m totes hanging with my captain.
Hey Captain, pull my finger.
If you like it, spread it!:

Thanks to you, Madelyne, I will never see stripping a bed in quite the same way again… Great recap!
Your captions are great, but Wu really outdid yourself with the pillow/girlfriend ones! Per usual, wonderful recap!
Thanks guys… I’m kinda laughing bc for some reason when I did the screen shot it captured him making goggly (googly?) eyes at his pillow… so I had to go back a couple times to get the whole “love scene”… Glad to know my efforts made at least one other person laugh.
And I tweeted Reggie Lee (Sgt. Wu) a couple pics I photoshopped of him and Renard and he responded. He always retweets the recaps, so of course my obsession grows deeper. Although there’s a good chance I’m a foot taller than he is.
Reggie Lee (Wu) is listed as 5’6″. Sasha Roiz (Renard) is 6’4″. (Yes, he is one tall dude.)
I laughed so hard about the pillow girlfriend. Did anyone else crack up at the Genio Inocuos being from Galapagos? And Hank going “Your ancestor must have gone there w/ Darwin!” Of course they did.
I love Renard and James Frey (actor playing his brother). Sexiest family ever! They should have a shirtless wrestling battle for the throne. Mmmm.
The pillow girlfriend —> Genius and hilarious!
hilarious recap!
Your recaps are always so funny.
Thanks for being awesome.
And if I were Monroe (he is to me what Wu is to you), I would be happy that Nick isn’t always calling anymore. Now he can spend his time on the phone with Rosalee and reading about old stuff. Instead of gallivanting about town, risking his life for pretty much no reason.
I like monroe too, but i kinda feel like rosalee makes him boring… i liked all his “aloneness” and hobbies… but we’ll see…
Yes, the Renard’s are a v good-looking family. Half brothers or not… they just have the attitude. Wu just has that puppy dog quality… he’s so eager to help and be part of the big boys club and i just love him for it… plus he rolls his eyes and that always cracks me up.
i’m glad you enjoy the show and the recaps. it really does mean alot to me to think someone reads what i write and actually finds it amusing (unlike my fb friends who just block me after a certain point).
I hate when work keeps me from reading!, harrruuummphh!!! But I’m with the gang, hilarious captions and the pillow GF was beyond awesome!!!! You Rock!!! You make the show worth watching . . .
