Theres so much joy in the final scenes of this episode that it almost doesnt look likeDead to Me.
Wheres the crying, panic, and criminal activity?
But this season has been so strong on every level that it likely just produces laughs.
This episode illustrates the impact of that.
Applegate sells it perfectly.
More importantly, Perez gets suspicious about why Judy isnt scared of a man whos literally threatening her life.
Is it because she knows the threat is buried in Los Angeles National Forest?
The look on Perezs face when she sees Jen with Ben at the station is priceless.
They havent found the car (yet) and the remains end up being that of a woman.
Crisis avoided, for now.
Michelle places an amazing order (Mexican Cokes!
and then they run into Nick!
Anyway, Nick has barely left his house and still harbors a lot of resentment for Judy.
He mentions Steve and is generally just seething with unhappiness.
Everyone comes together at Henrys Holy Harmonies concert.
(He remembers the moves!)
But it turns out that Henry doesnt want to go on stage.
Its too much for him.
And so they all go to an arcade!
(Again, stay-at-home jealousy kicking in.)
First, we see Nick at the scene of the burned-out Benz across town.
Just as the door closes, the front one opens and in walks… Detective Perez!
What was Jen saying about Laguna Beach being a small town?
That should be a crime.
Mexican cokes aresomuch better.
Just had to say that.
So, Perez is what exactly to Michelle?
Well find out soon enough, but follow the coincidence here.
