Episode Recap:
Grant’s just gotten electrocuted by Xander’s magic, though not quite electrocuted, while it doesn’t hurt him it makes him deeply uncomfortable. Xander apparently can control how much he creeps people out by managing his magic somehow. He does a cool discharge thing up to the nearest lightning rod and looks a bit more tired after that, but I don’t know if that was for much other than show. Grant is not grateful at all, and he doesn’t want to even look at this display of power. Xander runs over people like a train, Grant thinks, and that’s not respectful. But Grant is a big boy, so he lets his anger go and starts arguing about the island’s management. Xander threatens to starve people to death. Grant threatens to feed everything with MREs, which stands for ‘meals ready to eat’ and is an infamous invention of the United States Army. After arguing more, Grant suggests just closing up shop and going home to mainland California, Xander catches a wistful tone in his voice and asks him what he wants to do if he had the choice. Grant, it turns out, wants to retire to Bakersfield. Bakersfield? Anyways, Grant is weird. But neither of them have a choice, and Grant knows it. The military will not let either of them retire even though they’re way overdue for it and super old. This happens though, look up Grace Hopper. They’re both getting old and Grant points out that Xander is way too old for Kore. This will not be the last time he points this out. Xander is too blissfully happy to care.
That is one impressive library. Why does Eugene remind me of a high-ranked SS?! Likes his alcohol good, likes his library furnished, enjoys eugenics, has too much power for his own good. When the bill fits … And you, sir, are what we call a tease around here. I was getitng my hopes up. We were going to see Kore. We were going to have her try and attack Eugene. Enemies-to-lovers, all the way. But no, thanks to Rhelan, we are only being drawn closer to Eugene for him to mentally stonewall us. But he does have a point, Jean! If the people do not work, they will die of hunger, either way. Work is not the problem, the problem is not having any control over the products of one's work. I look at Eugene's stunning library and I wonder, how many people had to go hungry for him to fill it up. He drinks good alcohol. How many of his inbred sheep had to go thirsty for him to enjoy such spirits. I can forgive his playing around with human brains, wrecking the lives of individuals. However, as soon as he touches the masses, look at me sniveling.
