Recap: Jericho: Finalist Submission I
By Cristina
Ok so since we are a couple of weeks behind I figured I should first give a quick recap of what happened on the last episodes, since it was all, you know, “important stuff.”
Previously on Jericho: the city celebrates Halloween almost as though nothing has happened. It appears that although their food supply is dwindling there is an over-abundance of candy corns! Hoorah! We meet Jonah who is Mitchell’s boss, Emily’s estranged dad, and father to Chris, the guy who got shot because of Skeet’s flakiness. Can this whole plot just get swallowed by a whale and die already. Anderson, one of the apocalyptic horseman, returns to inform everyone that New York City did not get hit but DC definitely did. This sends Mimi into a wicked shame spiral but in the end she and Stanley have a moment and eat wheat thins, the panacea for all heartache. Rod’s story begins to piece together a bit more as we find out that he and Darcy had actually been separated because, no surprise, he’s a workaholic. Since he seemed to know about the impending bombs he went and yanked his family from DC and took Darcy with him. Gracie continues to be a heartless bitch. Jonah’s henchmen break Mitchell out of jail. Papa Smurf stops breathing, dies, and then comes back to life minus working organs. He has 12 hours to live unless the boys can find some special meds that they ran out of in Jericho. Skeet and Eric head out to some place called “Rogue River” which is all very Oregon Trail to me, and the pianos of hope play strong as Skeet and Eric embark on their journey. But before they leave Heather takes this opportunity to lay a hot steamy one of Skeet. The tension builds, as does my tolerance for alcohol! Will the boys be able to forge the Rogue River!?!

If bombs were to start dropping tomorrow, I'm sure there would be a lot of chaos and confusion. So I suppose it's good that I become confused and disoriented every time I watch Jericho. It brings a level of reality to the situation and really makes it a more enjoyable viewing experience. I think it also causes me to lose brain cells. After several weeks of watching, I've now forgotten math!
