LINK ===== https://byltly.com/2tl4CT
From the Aberfan mining disaster in season three to the assassination of Lord Mountbatten in season four, \"The Crown\" has never shied away from showing some of the darker chapters in the history of the modern British royal family.
Tina starts \"dating\" a ghost the family trapped in a shoebox, while a ghost hunting duo invade the restaurant.Tina and the Real Tropes: Beta Bitch: Jocelyn, who has appeared since Season 1, finally settles into her current role as Tammy's lackey. She goes along with practically everything Tammy does (to the point of contradicting herself) and barely has an opinion of her own.Be Yourself: The lesson given at the end of the episode, though with the added note that this doesn't justify being an awful person. A Bloody Mess: The \"bloody\" writing on the mausoleum wall was done by Tina with ketchup. Brutal Honesty: As everyone is talking about how they should be themselves, Tammy voices it's okay for her to be a horrible, obnoxious person. Everyone immediately tells her no, it isn't, and she needs to stop being a bitch.Zeke: Fix yourself! Captain Obvious Reveal: In-universe; when Louise reveals that she made up Jeff, Linda is shocked, but Bob remarks that he thought it was pretty obvious. Cessation of Existence: Zeke and Jimmy Jr. believe this, though Zeke wants to believe otherwise, which leads to him getting attached to Jeff. Chekhov's Gun: Louise takes some of the bugs infesting the restaurant and places them in the shoebox, causing them to swarm Tammy when she opens the box. Cloudcuckoolander: The first exterminator Bob calls being this or being in league with the con artists is the entire reason the main plot of the episode happens to begin with: instead of doing his job, he gets some vague feeling about a \"presence\" in the basement and runs off to fetch the \"ghost experts\" described below despite Bob's protests. Con Artist: The so-called ghost experts are really just a couple of guys who try to con Bob out of a few meals in exchange for their \"services\". Bob doesn't put up with it and forces them to pay. Dead All Along: The ghost hunters try to claim they've been dead for twelve years to avoid paying their tab at the restaurant. Linda falls for it, but Bob immediately places his hands on them, exposing their (very obvious) lie. The Ditz: Linda and numerous Wagstaff students genuinely believe \"Jeff\" is real. Falling-in-Love Montage: Perhaps the first time in any media where one of the romantic parties is an empty shoebox. Fridge Logic: In-universe; Louise questions how a ghost, let alone one trapped in a box, can write messages on a mirror. Lame Pun Reaction: Bob lampshades how every exterminator in town is some terrible pun.Bob: Let's try \"Beetle Knievel\"... what is wrong with the exterminators in this town Mama Bear: When Linda learns that Tina was \"dumped\", she vows to kill \"Jeff\" again. Nobody's That Dumb: Even someone as boy-crazy as Tina knew from the start that \"Jeff\" was probably made up, though it took her a day to be 100% certain. If anything, she just enjoyed having some imaginary company, even if it was just a Companion Cube. Outgambitted: Louise made up the ghost as a joke, but didn't expect Tammy would hijack the scenario to steal \"Jeff\", nor did she anticipate Tina catching wise and coming up with her own scheme. Sarcasm Mode: Jimmy Jr. brushes off Tina's attempts at making the mausoleum a date. Louise promptly snarks that he was all over Tina. Shout-Out: The ghost hunters, Don and Phil, have the same first names as The Everly Brothers. Too Old to Trick-or-Treat: Tina and the other eighth-graders spend Halloween night undergoing a teenage rite-of-passage - giving up trick-or-treating to break into a mausoleum.
Tasha decides she needs to talk with someone besides Keisha or her husband and wants to join a group that tackles the grief of losing a child. Ghost is very reluctant at first, but he knows to get what he needs from Tasha, he has to give her what she wants, so he agrees to it. The faux couple sits down and listen to the stories of other parents that lost their children too soon. A particular story sticks with Ghost about a father following the murderer of his child daily who was killed by a drunk driver. The father points out while he and his wife are still grieving, the man continues to stop by a liquor store daily continuing to drink and drive. Tasha attempts to speak, but Ghost grabs her hand keeping her from raising it to share their story.
As Gustavo drops off his niece and nephew at school, Teddy shows up to inform him that Teddy would be replacing Grady. Teddy asked about Lousia and he let that ghost go to focus on this family. Teddy asked Gustavo for loyalty moving forward, promising protection for the former wrestler. When Jerome and Louie meet with Avi to automatic weapons, he marvels at the closeness of their relationship. When Jerome balks at being compared to Bonnie and Clyde, Avi says that he doesn't mean it tragically; he just admires their partnership.
I am not sure where my interest in haunted hotels began. I love the stories, anything with history is worth a visit, even tragic. I am also curious why haunted hotels seem to center around women I have never seen a ghost, but I have witnesses orbs, and eerie feelings. Perhaps my day will come soon.
This week Avalon's hilarious brother takes a break from working on a top-tier animated program that will remain nameless-ish and joins them around the digital campfire for some spooky tales of Washingtonian ghosts and that haunted house that their family owns.
They discuss movies for way too long, teacher's pets who are also dead, and octopuses who have no right being up that high. They also talk about the ghost of chicken strips past, what mythical creature looks most like a twinkie, and Ghost Karens.
Above all, though, the hard-hitting emotional heart of this episode is all in that desperate dash in the last fifteen minutes to see a baby born before his father dies. Even as the episode generates a great deal of tension in building towards the moment we hope to see, it twists the knife just before the end, having the character of Johnny exit the story saying how much he wishes he could stay with his wife and newborn child.
In the end, Tina, Phil, Manny and Laurie were arrested and lined up to take their mugshot photos. Nathan kneels on a pew at the church, lamenting on what he had done. Kat and her daughter Veronica were walking on the street after buying ice cream when they came across a store that sells provocative clothing. As Veronica gawked, Kat rolled her eyes and nudged her daughter to keep walking. Valens pays a visit to Sheila to give her the note that Carrie wrote her secret, which read that no matter who she is, God still loved her. Touched, Sheila blew a candle off the cake for her daughter, happy that her wish to have justice for Carrie finally came true. Lilly walks in the forest where Carrie was murdered and sees her ghost strolling in the sunlight before disappearing.
In a brief side story, Scotty was interviewed by Ari Gordon about his role in the hostage standoff during the events of Stalker. When asked about how he managed to shoot the suspect (especially when he snuck in, ignoring SWAT protocol), he replied that she gave him the signal to shoot, which was established when Scotty went to her apartment to check on Lilly after her mother had passed away. When Gordon asked about his involvement in the Burrell case (Offender), Scotty had enough and left, dismayed that they knew about it.
I told my Bigfoot story in its entirety up there on the mtn, its too bad N&A did not have enough time to air the story rather just little blurbs and comments! My GF is looking at doing a live you tube interview with the Bigfoot story as well as Q&A so that our viewers can get a deeper sense of what I was talking about! 59ce067264
