At the mushroom mansion. April continues to commit major fashion crimes with her pink tuxedo shirt and maroon vest. Seriously April, you are a cute women. Let’s spice up your wardrobe a bit. Like Andy in “Pretty in Pink” she needs to realize that these color palettes are not working for her. April decides to have a little H2H with her unconscious father in law asking him to hold on for the sake of his unborn grandchild. Great, she’s knocked up! Gail overhears this and the women hug as the pianos of hope play strong.
Back at the hospital the Rosewood people have infiltrated the hospital and are looking for Skeet and co. Let’s not bother with silly questions like “Why?”. The boys think they have gotten the right meds but according to Mohinder Lite, what they really need is some other drug. Skeet tries to concoct some ridiculous plan to get the new drugs and escape the hospital from hell. There is so much useless information in the episode! The Shiraz is kicking in so I laugh as to keep from crying. The plan is that Eric will dress up as a doctor, convince the Rosewood guys that he can help their wounded friend and create a diversion. Meanwhile Skeet and Peyton will come from behind and attack. And then they will all run. Again, people, let’s just go with it. The Ravenwood guys fall for Eric’s lies and suddenly we see that the leader of the Ravenwood soldiers is none other than actor D.B. SWEENEY!! Seriously if I were Eric I would not fuck with this guy. I mean he is the only man in the world who has mastered the Pamchenco! As Eric pretends to help the wounded mercenary he manages to snatch the meds. Suddenly from behind comes Skeet yelling. “TOE PICK!!” and lots of shooting ensues.
At the mushroom mansion Emily and Heather continue their frantically attempt to make ice but they are failing miserably, because they are idiots. I notice that Heather is using a plastic bowl. Hello! Does she not realize that plastic is an insulator and that’s why her ice won’t freeze. Clearly she never watched Bill Nye the Science Guy, Bill Bill Bill! Heather starts to freak out and have a Jesse Spano on caffeine withdrawal moment. “Time, time, there’s never any time!” Before she has a complete meltdown she accidentally uses a metal bowl and voila, ICE! All I have to say is, science rules!
Fat Jimmy returns from searching the bunker of deceit with an FBI badge that has Rod’s name on it. Rod realizes the jig is up and decides to have a little H2H with Anderson. He gets this really badass look on his face and I am genuinely frightened. He asks Anderson if he knows how to spot a real FBI badge from a fake one. Fakes ones are made of aluminum because it’s cheap. If it’s heavy that means it’s real. Good to know, Rod. I’ll add that to my list of useless information I have learned while watching Jericho. Then he drops the badge and, yup, it’s real. Rod finally reveals a bit of information which I suppose is meant to keep us watching this train wreck of a show. The FBI was tracking some suspicious contact between unknown people in the Jericho area and terrorist groups were believed to be involved. They were communicating via payphones and money transfers so Rod was relocated to be an undercover brother. Rod lies to Anderson and tells him that now they are BFF’s and there are no secrets between BFF’s. Lies! Lies!
Back at the hospital Skeet and co are shooting at D.B. Sweeney and his crew of nefarious ice hockey thugs. Peyton decides to cover the men as they run, and sacrifices himself for the team as he surely is going to die judging from the sound of bullets flying right at him. But Skeet, Eric, and Mohinder Lite all manage to escape. By the time they make it back to Jericho PapaSmurf is barely alive but Mohinder Lite saves the day. I would so take Mohinder Lite as my doctor over stupid April any day.
In the Basement of lies Rod congratulates a very haughty looking Allison on her ability to flawlessly lie to the cops and plant his FBI badge for Fat Jimmy to find. In a tender but fucked up moment Allison tells him that she now knows that Rod is one of the good guys. Nothing like a little deceit to really bond a family!

OMFG I cannot believe you made a reference to the Cutting Edge! TOE PICK! Seriously the use of that phrase alone gets you my vote.

why is it that all these shows seem to be following LOSTS lead. Theres some absurd convoluted story line that isn't really the story line, and you have to plow through week after week to even have half an idea as to whats going on.
thanks for the short version.
Ice for everyone !!!

this recap is awesome! so funny! my favorite line: "wheat thins, the panacea for all heartache." you may be the only person to make that comparison, like, ever. (unless it is a reference that i am too dumb to catch? but i don't think so.) also, classic reference to the best early-90's show ever! the jessie spano caffeine pill freakout is unforgettable...

this is for sers one of the funniest recaps i have read. any recapper who references 'the cutting edge' truly has their finger on the pulse of pop culture. this recapper has the potential to inspire people to watch this crappy show just in order to understand the awesome recaps. totes hilar!

Apparently you didn't get the memo about calling Skeet by his character name. It's very distracting and not conducive to the recap. No vote for you!

This was an awesome recap. I don't know anyone else who can weave this many (semi)obscure pop references into a recap AND make an awful show like Jericho bearable. You get my vote.
