Minicap: The Ev3nt

Last night on The Ev3nt, a WMD was uncovered and possibly released, MFB and Leila throw out a big black dude with the trash, and Sean and Vicky have a moment. Oh, right, and Mr P is in the hospital.

Firstly, guys…I’m sorry about last week’s recap. I’m still not done (barely even got this little bit done)…I’ll probably stick it together with this week’s and post them as a double. I’ve had a really, really busy last few days…

To kick things off, some dudes in a truck pull up to a port somewhere in Russia. The driver’s like “yo dude I gots my papers” and hands over what appears to be a fat wad of cash…So, since it’s Russia and they’re all corrupt as fuck, the guy is like “thanks Mr…uh….yeah, just go ahead.” So the guy drives his truck in, and he and a few other guys take the box from the back of the truck and down into a boat.

Next we’re taken to the White House. Mr P kicks off his meeting, and then takes a sip of his coffee. Right, the same coffee that Darth Hatter spiked with fake sugar. So Mr P takes a sip, and then suddenly can’t really talk so well and then stands up and collapses. He’s rushed to the hospital…and it seems he had a stroke. Or that’s what the hospital thinks…

At the Community, MFB grabs Leila while she’s talking to Sean. He tells her that she’s screwing everything up for the both of them. Then the huge black dude comes running up and tells MFB that they’ve gotta tell Sophia what Leila did and MFB agrees! Except then, when they’re walking back to the house, MFB kills the dude! BOOM!

Sean and Vicky share a lovely train ride through Europe, discussing what to do next. Sean insists on following Flowers/Leila’s clues regarding Siberia and the WMD. Vicky tells him that’s insane, except then the search Sean is running for Inga something or other gets a hit, and it’s a boat harbored near Mermansk! So clearly the pieces are in place.

Back on said boat, the doctor is digging through the dead body that was inside the box that they brought on the boat. He’s talking to himself and possibly a tape recorder about how the lungs look like they’re in great condition and then he gets a small sample of mucus or puss from the lungs and puts it in a petri dish, but then drops the dish, and in his haste to look at it he cuts himself with the scalpel! He then freaks out, runs out of containment, and talks someone on the boat into opening a door!!!

Mr. P gains consciousness just long enough to tell Weasel not to let Hatter become the new Mr P. Then his wife shows up and is genuinely distraught and we start to wonder if all that garbage from last week was really the truth and her whole secret is that her parents are illegals. But no, probably not. Hatter tells Chief of Staff shatmypants that he needs to call cabinet together so they can vote him in as acting P since the real P is incapacitated. Weasel lets Shatmypants in on the secret that Darth Hatter is the assassin. They spend time channeling their inner Nancy Drew trying to find proof that Hatter did it.

Leila and MFB drag the huge black dude’s body through their house. MFB tells her to clean up all the blood on the floor, and proceeds to wrap the huge guy up in garbage bags. Leila is just finishing wiping up the blood when Sophia shows up. Leila tries to get her to leave by telling her that MFB is asleep, but Sophia won’t leave. MFB changed out of his bloody shit bloody fast, and comes around to talk to her. She asks him to look for the big black dude. He says he will, but has no idea where he could have gotten off to…

Sean and Vicky share a moment. Well, Sean again tries to get Vicky to share her feelings and emotions and she stone-faces him. They then sneak aboard the boat, and the whole crew is dead! They put on special suits which are laying around, and go inside to investigate. They find the corpse, minus two lungs. They hear a noise up on deck and run out, and one of the crew members is back from the cigarette store. They threaten to throw him in with the dead people, so he talks. He tells them the original dead guy was a WWI soldier who died of the Spanish Flu. Apparently the Spanish Flu killed everyone on the boat in the time it took this guy to get cigarettes. Wait, what? As usual, research will accompany my recap.

Weasel and Shatmypants are unsuccessful in their attempt to find enough evidence to implicate Hatter. The last little titbit features the cabinet swearing in Darth Hatter…he has ascended to Darth P. Weasel gets home, and can’t believe what’s happened, and then notices a coffee stain on his shirt. This whole time he’s had the evidence right there!!
