Episode 15a: Bye, Tanya
This episode asks the question of how concerned should I be about a mannequin? The mannequin named Tanya at the store Leni works at with Fiona and Miguel. Ms. Carmichael wants to freshen up the place with new mannequins and that means sending the old ones away. Leni who is attached to it doesn't want Tanya gotten rid of because friendship.
The three of them go on a mission, first to make sure the men don't find and take Tanya, but they end up doing so. Then the trio pretend to be mannequins to get picked up and transported to where the others are going. Eventually, because Leni answers her phone, Ms. Carmichael finds out and Leni says she can fire her, but don't fire Miguel and Fiona, and says that Tanya is like a member of the Reininger's family and can't deny family. Which is a message.
Then the trio go to find Tanya before she gets cut up at the very elaborate recycling center. Thankfully the plot wants Tanya to "live" and apparently Ms. Carmichael was able to get there so quickly to stop the machine, so that happened.
Everything is tied up in a neat little bow. Again the episode is asking alot , to invest in how much we should be concerned about a mannequin. But I can understand being attached to an object and personifying it enough to want to keep it around. It's Leni's big heart being shown episode. The fun parts of the episode is Leni's friends working with her and the funny little moments with Miguel and the tie dye and the guys making fun of his hair and clothes when he was pretending to be a mannequin. It's a mostly alright episode with some fun moments. I can't put it really high in how I calculate episodes so 6.5/10.

Episode 15b: What Lies Beneath
This episode's title has layers of meaning to it. Now, this show has done episodes focused with Clyde in the lead, Liam, Zach, can it work with one of Lucy's friends? The harder part with Lucy's friends is they tend to blend together in away that Lincoln's group doesn't, so there's is harder curve. Which one is Dante?
Dante is burying something (not a body?) and he and his cat named Virgil are together they did something. The next day, the morticians club is cleaning up the grave yard and Boris ends up tripping over a grave stone with the name "unknown". It's the one Dante buried something. The group thinks it's a good idea to have a seance to bring up the spirit to find out who is buried there. (Did Dante bury something that was once alive?)
Dante fakes being possessed because he's willing to go that far to hide his guilt. He fakes the name Ernie Shovelgate. Haiku goes with the old adage of when someone says don't go the trouble, they mean go do it. That and we need the plot to continue. The rest of the group has decided to buy a headstone for someone who doesn't exist. Dante needs to them to not, so he decides the best plan is to break something? I hope whatever he buried is worth it. I mean for us. Boris is strong. He has his cat break one for them and buy two of them, because sure. New plan Virgil breaks more things and now are out of money.
Dante says something stupid like in the way you see on TV shows to get someone else to think up an idea that he didn't want to happen in the first place. (Well played? ) His new plan is something he should have thought up before all that money was wasted, but un dig up what he buried and find somewhere else. Oh a plot device named Hank is back and is there in the way because yes.
He has to get Hank out of the way. Does this plan work? No. (duh) He wants the rest of them to carve in the entire poem "The Raven" (also public domain) done in Latin, in cursive, which will fun. He gets Hank of the way, but have like a minute left so the others get to show up. What did he bury? Ice cream. (Gets up and walks away from the computer, it's over)
So indeed, it was not interesting. Why did he bury ice cream? Because he didn't want to share. The episode wants to pretend that they foreshadowed this by a moment earlier where Dante didn't want to share the riding lawnmower. We get a Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons line twice this episode. Then he struggles to share and ends up doing so, so yay?
Again, I wouldn't expect a body, but this wasn't even interesting it's ice cream because some kid didn't want to share. That's not even interesting. He also let his cat lick the ice cream, minus 0.5pts for cats and milk in the media again. Yeah, don't give cats milk. stop it. Yeah, it was moderately interesting when we didn't know what he was hiding, oh interesting. The ending deflates that by not doing anything that could be like wow! It's not even an interesting ice cream, like is it even limited edition or something? They could have kept it mystery, or had something more interesting like Dante has a funny non-goth object that he wanted to hide, or he thought he killed something, but didn't , something else. It was mostly alright, but underwhelming there for the end. 6.3/10.
Tune in next time when we bury this post and you have to dig it up.
