In the town hall, Mayor Grey is going over the statistics once again - they're out of everything, and with the added strain of the new refugees they're all really screwed. Papa comes in and informs them that a bunch of people are leaving. Um, I'm not a math genius or anything, but wouldn't that actually solve a whole lot of problems? Grey says that most of them will die, but if they want to leave, that's their choice. Maybe I like Grey. He goes on to say that without some sort of X Factor, they won't make it through the winter. Well why didn't you say so? Get Simon Cowell on the line! He then ominously announces that the last ones to arrive should be the first ones to go. Smell ya later, Roger!

Jake wakes up at home, where he's currently recuperating. You know, from his nonexistent injuries. The ground seems to be shaking, so he gets up and looks out the window. Aaand there's the patented Jake Look of Confusion we've all come to know and love. Meanwhile, out on Main Street, Eric and his cowboy buddies are on horseback, shooing people out of the street. And in rolls a tank. Yep, a tank. Grey introduces himself as Mayor to one of the soldiers, who identifies himself as Gunnery Sergeant Hill, of the United States Marine Corps. And they're here to help! The Marines should really use this scene as a recruiting commercial, instead of the one with the fire monster. Although I do love me some fire monster.

Terrifying.

After the commercials, a large crowd has gathered around the tank. The marine tells them that now that they've won the war, it's time to start rebuilding. Mayor and everyone is like bwaaa? Hill explains that they "nuked the hell out of North Korea and Iran", since apparently they supplied the bombs or something like that. Now there's a massive nationwide reconstruction effort, the former Secretary of HHS is now in charge, and there is a new government being set up in Columbus, Ohio, which for some reason seems to infuriate Grey. Grey HATES Ohio! Hill says that they are restoring power and infrastructure to Kansas, one town at a time, by the end of the year. The whole town erupts into a celebration, with cheering and hugging and shouts of "It's over!" Wanna bet a meteor strikes that tank within the next twenty minutes?

Things are not as happy over at the Hawkins House of Lies. The family is packing up to leave, and Allison asks how many more times they're going to have to move. Hawkins says this is the last time. He also says that unicorns are real and Sanjaya is a great singer. Can't trust that guy.

Papa, a former Marine himself, is shooting the shit with Hill. Hill says that while they're waiting for supplies to arrive, they should make a wish list that he can forward on to his superiors in Dodge City. Better not put Jake in charge of that, you'll end up with fifteen pallets of Hungry Hungry Hippos. Grey offers up the Sheriff's office as a command post and Mary Bailey offers her bar as a place for the soldiers to stay. Enjoy the paint thinner, boys! Nothing but the finest for our troops. Hill summons up a girl named Maggie, who needs to find some electronic parts. Jake volunteers to help her, as he is the resident expert at everything/nothing. She's kinda cute, so I suppose he'll be in her pants by the end of the episode.

tvaholic :

Great recap! I am still watching the show to see what happens, but I'm annoyed that I have been able to predict everything that was going to happen on this weeks ep while I was watching it. I knew Hawkins was leading Sara on, I knew he took her thingy, I even predicted the daughter was going to shoot her. I knew the call on the radio was going to turn out to be fake, and Hill just seemed suspicious from the get-to. (I guess you just can't trust phy ed teachers nowadays.)

I'm not trying to say I'm exceptionally insightful or clairvoyent, the writers are just making it too easy. I am glad Izzy's twin Sara is gone though, she bugged me.

Ok, that Hawkins Sara fight scene was BADASSS. i thought shewas using a piece of glass as her weapon. (Note to self: Don't buy glass tables). I swear that Allison was about to shoot her dad too. This show is def. getting better!

Great recap. I really loved your "Take my wife, please." caption. Like tvaholic I was calling most of the show, but unlike tvaholic, it doesn't bother me at all. As soon as Hawkins and Sara started kissing I said, "He's taking her blueberry." Or whatever those things are. Then as soon as things went bad I said, "His daughter's going to show up and shoot her." I really enjoy this show though and have no complaints. It's fun and interesting. Thanks for the recap!
