Jason shows up yet again on Tim's doorstep to tell him a few things. Their friendship is over (for the fifty-seventh time), he quit the team, he doesn't suck, and he's going to Mexico for the miracle spine-replacement surgery. Oh, but he's not done yet. "You are the worst and stupidest friend that a guy could ever have. I pretty much hate your guts right now, I'm so disgusted with you." Powerful, powerful stuff. I think I said the same thing once. When I was NINE. What's happening to my precious Jason? He's got the stupid. And apparently it's contagious, because Tim, instead of stopping him or trying to convince him otherwise, jumps right aboard the Mexico bandwagon. Where's Tami when you need her? I think she needs to dole out a couple more slaps.
Tyra appears in Landry's bedroom window. Oh, these two. A Clarissa and Sam for the 21st century, they are. She gives him a big old kiss, but I can't really concentrate on what's going on here because Landry is wearing a Fundamental Theorem of Calculus t-shirt and I'm too busy shitting my pants over that one.
Tim and Jason pile into the truck and head off to Mexico. Tim cracks open some beers, and then they start squabbling over whether they have a map. Wow. Road trip of the century, folks. Are they even aware of what a colossally terrible idea this is? Clean up on Aisle Common Sense!
Matt returns home and Carlotta gives him a massage. She sings him a song in Spanish, gives him a hug, and assures him that things will get better. Aww.
Coach shows up at Buddy's dealership, shakes his hand, and the deal is done. He and his awesome hair are back! As we all knew they would be.
OBEY THE EYEBROW
So. I think this one started out kind of slow and weird, but ended pretty well. Still not quite sure what to think about the religious Timmy thing. It was...strange. But I lurrrrved the slap. And I'm sure the Roadtrip From Hell will be a hoot. What do we all think?
Is Coach Asshat:
a) Mean
b) Evil
c) Just cranky because he has lame hair?

So what is coach going to do without a job since it is clearly not going to be that easy to get his old one back?

Love the recap. Love the EP. I really want this show to keep on going.
My wife got a Crucifictorious shirt at NBC.com. You got to get one.

Some of the best storylines are right out of Penthouse Letters (Carlotta n Matt; Tyra n Landry - not complaining; I'm just saying...)
Wanted to slap Julie, too. For that matter, I would like to slap Tami, just not in the same context.
I think Tim will prevent Jason from trading his wheelchair and truck for a box of sugar pills. Or maybe they'll end up in a dirty jail and coach, Landry and Billy will parachute in and rescue them. (But, I think more likely the former.)

Ha ha ha, I loved your LolJason screencap. Overall great recap, Screampillar!
I don't buy Tim's religiosity. I thought the whole time he was just trying to make a move on Lyla---though I underestimated her intelligence, because I thought she would buy it.
Landry always has the best T-shirts. I tip my hat to the wardrobe department.
Who gets high and jokes about global warming? I guess there really is nothing to do in Dillon.
