Season 5, Episode 4
The Astraeus crew tries to return to normal now that they're back in reality, but are running into problems dealing with their coworkers. An incident between Zane and Parrish in the lab releases a fire fighting firefly that goes after heat sources in town.
Allison: Try living with your boyfriend's matrix girlfriend.
Jo: Cheating the stages of grief?
Jack: But the remotes will work when we get them outside GD, right?
Parrish: Theoretically.
Jack: I hate that word.
Jack: You realize I have no idea what that means, right?
Fargo: Maybe we should just bow down to our new fireball overlords while we still can. Maybe they'll spare us.
Comments:
1) The bereavement lab is titles "furries?"
2) For the first 55 minutes of the episode, I really wasn't thrilled with the way Allison kept taking her anxiety and insecurity out on Jo. I know she had a lot to cope with in the virtual world believing that Jack and Jo were together, but she could have tried dealing with it instead of ostracizing Jo.
3) Poor Fargo, but like Parrish said, cheaters never win. You can't shortchange dealing with grief. Even in Eureka there are no magic pills.
