Nora is lurking around Noblesville, she comes upon a store with three slashes on the door. She slips into the shop. The shopkeeper is printing a Harry Potter book off a colonial printing press.
LOST?
She asks for a “biography of Joe Biden.” The shopkeeper brings her in the back to the “People with fake, unrealistically white, chicklet teeth section,” and puts a knife to Nora’s throat.
Show me yours!
Nora shows him her American Flag tattoo, he immediately puts the knife away. She needs to see his- so he pulls out an American Flag from his desk drawer. They are both “resistance.” The shopkeeper introduces himself as “Hutch. Ken Hutchinson.” Apparently, the militia wiped out Ken’s unit (huh, huh, they said unit) , including his wife. It’s only him left.
Nora corrects him “No, it’s you and me. And we are going to blow up that train.”
Charlie wanders around, attempting to look lost- which is her specialty.
This is my happy look, my sad look, my lost look, my excited look, my disappointed look, my hungry look, my angry look…
Neville spots her. He questions her “What are you doing? It looks like you are casing the joint?”
My boyfriend is cheating on my because I’m a bottomless pit of endless need
Charlie explains to Neville that she is spying on her boyfriend, whom she suspects of cheating, by watching a reflection in the shop window. Neville asks her name and what she is doing there? Charlie tells Neville her name is Sarah and she is there for the train. “Everyone is here for the train.” Neville tells Charlie that her boyfriend is a fool for two-timing her and walks away.
That was a close one…
Charlie breathes a sigh of relief, but she follows him. She does, exactly, what Miles tells her NOT to do. Neville comes out of nowhere and grabs her in a choke hold. “Who are you?!?!” Neville demands.
What gave you away? You are dumb and useless, just like Danny.
It helps to have a Ninja in the family because Miles is all over him like stank on a ho.
Monroe Republic Class of 2013 Reunion
Neville knows Miles from “the old days.” Neville smugly says “I should have guessed. Is this the sister? She looks like Danny.” In a shocking turn of events, they tussle.
Miles ask Neville “How is your wife? How is my nephew?
(As an aside, I’m, almost, as dumb as Danny. Wen I’m watching these shows, I am furiously taking notes, and I don’t always think through everything, because I’m in sponge mode, not thinking mode. I start to think when I actually WRITE the recap. So, being a total jackass, and the fact that I think Danny is a waste of blood, when Miles asked “How is my nephew?” I thought that Miles was saying that Neville’s son was Miles’s nephew… meaning that Julia (Neville’s wife) was Miles and Ben’s sister… and then thinking that Neville’s son is Jason aka probably Nate… getting skeeved out that Nate was diggin’ Charlie and vice versa and they are really cousins… and then that’s a whole other, INTERESTING, show. But then I was like…Oh, by nephew, he means that lopsided bag of hair: Danny. Creepy, engrossing storyline averted… carry on.)
If you like it, spread it!:

Somebody blow up Charlie! She’s the biggest albatross that group of rebels has. I’m about to give up on watching this show, but I’ll still keep reading your recaps, MisRed.
OMG, your recaps are one million times better than the actual show! I keep watching it… and I keep hoping it’s going to get better… BUT…
I had high hopes for this show, thinking that in addition to the soapy drama, you’d get some of the interesting aspects of being without power for 15 years (or however long it’s been, duh, I already forgot). Not so much!
Thanks for the recaps, though, they’re fantastic!
Thanks for the recaps!
I must be in the minority but I do enjoy this show!
@Rachel (3) – I’m in the minority with you. I don’t mind cheesy, as long as it’s entertaining. (I grew up watching Batman on TV – KaPow)
Thank you guys, so much, for reading.
I am not sure I would be watching this show if I wasn’t recapping it. Maybe. Probably. If one of the Real Housewives was playing a character, for sure! While I think some of the characters are dim and it’s a little predictable- I am enjoying it. There are worse ways to spend an hour. Well, 6 hours. I have to watch it, watch it again to get pictures, write the recap, resize the pix to fit and then post.
And trust me, my husband is THRILLED that I’m watching something that has a script.
