The summer movie season winds down with reviews of both the new Clint Eastwood and a shocking thriller.
Synopsis
A heavily-bandaged Tim welcomes the viewers with “I'm back!” The few parts of him that aren't bandaged don't look very good- his left hand is lobster-red, as are the parts of his face that peek through the bandages. Still, he feels as though he has “nine lives”, like that movie with Kevin Spacey. He apologizes to Gregg for what happened to the VFA, and explains that his cheapo vape pen overheated and ignited a cardboard box.
Due for a shot of morphine, Tim needs to rush through the movies. He starts to read the synopsis of Sully, starring Clint Eastwood, when a host of Tim's friends and acquaintances, among them Ayaka, enter the theater and gather around him in the surrounding theater seats. Joe Estevez greets Tim and explains that they came to offer their support and say some words of encouragement. Axiom starts, telling Tim that Dekkar is waiting for him whenever he heals up. Tim is pleased by this, and starts talking shop with Axiom, to Joe's chagrin. Ayaka goes next, informing Tim she is going to carry her pregnancy to term. Tim is not thrilled, and seems resentful that Ayaka left him earlier to go back to Japan. Mr. Ohwaki chimes in with an exclamation in Japanese; Ayaka explains that he is concerned, and they hope he feels better.
Joe asks Mark to say a few words, but Tim has no interest in his opinion, so Joe turns it over to John Aprea. John says it hurts to see Tim in his present condition, and that he wants to get to know Tim better. It is Gregg's turn next. Gregg urges Tim to get Dr. San and Dekkar out of his life, and focus on movie reviews, Decker, and making the Victorville Film Center profitable. Tim thanks everyone somewhat insincerely for offering their support, promising to get better and “turn it up a notch.”
Tim then starts reading the synopsis for When the Bough Breaks when Joe interrupts him to read a letter that “sums up” the intervention. Tim isn't having it, however, and shuts him up. Joe and Gregg attempt to calm him and talk sense into him, but Tim merely gets angrier. He kicks everyone out of the room except for Axiom, whom he asks to take him to CVS for some “perkies.”
