We talk about the trashman in It’s Always Sunny in Philedelphia. Here are a couple clips from that amazing episode.
Our Recap
Cold Open:
* We open with phase 1 of Operation: Fiscal Cleansing, which is the homeless being bombarded by dues with a massive super-soaker. It’s then that we get what might as well be labeled, “MURDERER’S MASSIVE TRUCK OF DEATH AND GARBAGE AND MORE DEATH” roll up outside the operation’s organizer. He dials for help, but it’s to no avail as the assailant bursts in and “disarms’ captain 1% before compacting him in the garbage truck of super-death.
Roll Credits
Run 1:
* CSI: Lame-town are taking pics and we get informed that they called the FBI due to the “spooky” nature of the crime. Jesus, Scully looks good. The dynamic duo is informed that there are no footprints, but Mulder states that it’s impossible to be born without footprints. So, it turns out that just the arms are missing and the head is in the trash can. Scully cunningly deciphers that the vic was torn apart whilst receiving calls from William…Scully Jr, her brother. Turns out that her mum is in the ICU due to a heart attack. Mulder dismisses her, but seriously misses her. He looks as if he really wants to console her, but he doesn’t feel that it’s his place anymore.
* Mulder views some video surveillance that leads him to believe that Banksy saw the crime while he was putting up some depressing, yet super-meaningful, art on a billboard across the street. It’s “Street art” of Jeffrey Tambour looking longingly at nothing. Mulder steps on a disgusting band-aide and holds it over for evidence?
* Mulder arrives to see that her mother (Margaret) is on some sort of breathing assistance apparatus, to find out that Margs only wanted “Charlie” in her moment of consciousness, her estranged youngest son. Dana issues some comforting words, but she gets hung up on “William is here”. Obviously, Scully is totes talking about her bruv, but meaning her son.
Run 2:
* Mulder rolls out demanding that he have access to the building with access to the Bluth patriarch’s likeness billboard, only to discover two terrible community actors running though the lines of the world’s only play regarding homelessness versus the murder of a city figurehead (seriously…they were awful). Mulder mediates while being told about the threat of homeless people. One homeless peep speaks up stating that “the band-aide knows”. Mulder’s curiosity is peaked.
* We get the moment that Scully alluded to earlier regarding her brush with a coma. She uncovers Marg’s personal artifacts, one of which is a quarter that’s been turned into a pendant. “Bill” calls and his on his way from Frankfort (presumably Germany). Bill is a bit of an arse, requesting a status update on whether or not mom would be worm food by the time he arrived from the country that has no history between 1933 and 1945.
* We cut to Mulder in a super sciencey room with an even more super-sciency man in a lab coat telling him that there are neither organic nor inorganic materials present in the band-aide.
* Back to Scully, we find out that Marg’s was serious about her “adva...
