Tandy and Carol’s dynamic is in such a place of perfection at this point it’s uncanny. They’re such a perfect couple and their scenes of repartee with one another are a constant delight. I’ve said it before, but I’m so glad the show has settled on these two being happy together rather than throwing obstacles between the two of them (remember when they were lost and separated throughout the desert?). Similarly, the groove that Tandy’s fallen into—a consummate jester that appears to always be performing for himself—is one that I’m a big fan of. As far as I’m concerned, at this point nearly everything out of this goose is gold—boom, still got it.

As matters continue, Tandy and Todd take it upon themselves to try and build a battery and bring some electricity back to their lives, with the proceedings feeling very Three Stooges minus one. You kind of can’t believe that things get to the point where these guys are being held hostage and at bay by a renegade live wire, but that’s part of the magic of this show. Director Jason Woliner really brings the threat of the wire to life, and watching these two idiots navigate around it is such a bizarre thing to behold. It’s a storyline that feels more appropriate in a point-and-click adventure game, not an episode of a sitcom.

On the opposite end of things, the dynamic filled by Carol and Melissa as the binary to Tandy and Todd is endearing in an entirely different way. Watching her try to convince Melissa to get on board with repopulation with wild paintings of what her offspring would look like are just as outlandish as going head to head with a live wire. They compliment each other well as act as reflections of how cartoonish this show can be at times.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Miami I’m loving the depressing route that Gail has gone down. Apparently Gordon’s short tenure with this crew and the time that he shared with Gail made a larger impression on her than she’s let on so far. We’re just given a glimpse of what she’s going through, but her going down some sort of Norman Bates route is another live wire that would be a beautiful element to toss into the fray once the dust has settled from whatever the current chaos is.

The turn of events that the end of the episode goes out on involving a certain character are an appreciated direction for the show to go down. Just as quickly as characters came into this show’s world in the first season, seeing the herd begin to (possibly) thin out is just as refreshing now. The show has a lot on its plate at the moment (let us not forget Space Sudeikis is still in orbit, too), and I suppose the fun of the upcoming episodes will be in seeing which of these angles it chooses to pursue.
