## Episode Summary

Welcome to the ClayneCastipedia!

NASA is sending Nate to space after he's been doing some 'research' into gravity. Drew needs you to sign up to the Patreon so he can buy more Legos. Tom continues to be nasty. None of them want to talk about lethal anymore, but somehow we get what may be the best episode of season 3!

Plus **NANTS INFESTATION!** A thousand little Nants. Tom and Drew allege that Nate fell into a crack in the sidewalk on his way home. What exactly happened down there is a point of debate but shortly after this incident, a bunch of little ants with Nates face started appearing. Careful that you don't catch the *ant flu*!

Everybody have a merry happy holidays!

### Father-Son-Updates

Nates son appreciates Chicago the band. Tom's son is getting that bone implant he's always been dreaming of. Nate complains about his son getting beat up by his other kids. By the way, if Levon or Olympia have made it 3 seasons deep, we're sure they're proud of their father's great podcast and laugh at the absurdity of the lethal weapon TV show. Like the rest of us freaks!

### Episode Recap

Horrible episode, continues last weeks cartel abduction plot but that gets resolved very quickly. Somehow that's not the end of the episode, and we get served an even more absurd cartel mutiny plot. SWS saves the day and kisses his ex wife, oh baby!

- Avery

This episode starts off with a short recap of last week, not the first time this has happened but it is rare. Cole got kidnapped by Sofia Vasquez, whose husband he assassinated, and now is the head of a cartel.
Next of course is the domestic scene aka MMM, Riana is GROUNDED! She was seeing a *BOY*. Dylan Something. Roger doesn’t care. He wants to send her to women’s college. Suddenly Maya, Cole’s daughter calls. He was suppose to bring her candy and fireballs but never showed. Then Natalie, Maya's mom and Coles ex-wife asks who this strange Murtaugh Man is that her daughter is talking to. They’ve never met but they agree that Riana will babysit Maya!
At the crime scene, Bailey complains about the Gute. Eyyyyy, Gute! Gute shows up and flips over the body without gloves or anything and says she recognizes the guys butt, it’s Bartolo Huerta, Vasquez Cartel member. Wonder what Cruz would have done in this situation. Then Murtaugh sees the very Candy Cole was supposed to bring Maya, and realizes the Vasquez Cartel has Cole!
After the intro, we get right into a graphic torture scene. Some guy pulls Coles nail off his finger, which we see in gory detail. Then Sofia Vasquez comes in and Cole says he’s done a lot of things he’s not proud of and that he’s sorry, but Sofia just slaps him.
Nat drops of Maya at the Murtaugh Mansion, and talks to Trish. Just then Roger calls Trish and tells her Cole’s been abducted.
Sofia uses a knife to poke around a scar on Cole’s arm and he gets a flashback to when Nat removed the bullet that left that very scar.
Bailey found out where and when they kidnapped Cole, but just when she’s relaying this to Captain Avery, the Gute pops by and introduces herself. Avery asks who the fuck she is and who hired a new detective, Sonya says Murtaugh! What kind of ship are they running over there in L.A.? Murtaugh did the same thing with Cole.
In some greasy diner, Murtaugh meets with Barnes, Cole’s ex handler. Roger accuses him of being ruthless and Barnes basically just says thems the rules. Meanwhile, Sofia and her thugs drive Cole out to the desert and bury him alive.
Gute informed them of a Vasquez hideout, and everyone heads over there. Even Avery is there in a bulletproof vest! KRahm GOAT. Roger sees a bunch of blood and Coles ripped out fingernails. Just then Maya calls and asks about her dad.
Cole somehow has a lighter in the grave with him, and uses it to burn through his binds. He’s still trapped below several feet of dirt though and starts pounding. Also using a lighter in that space would drain the oxygen faster but who cares.
Barnes convinces Murtaugh to let some felon who just got arrested out of jail. He has connections to the cartel, so he tells Murtaugh it's what needs to be done to find Sofia and thus Cole. He reluctantly does so.
Cole, still in his coffin, has another flashback to Nat telling him she’s pregnant, and he promises her a wonderful life and a home and they’ll go to Bali zzzzzzzzz. Back in the present, Nat is back in the Murtaugh kitchen (or still there) and confides in Trish, who tells her to keep her head up or whatever.
Roger arrives in the middle of the desert and finds one guy guarding the grave. A Damon Wayans stunt double easily incapacitates him and then digs up Cole. He does this very quickly, even though the coffin is under several feet of dirt.
Cole is now in the hospital, with broken ribs and a few other wounds. When Avery asks Roger how he found him, he just says the stars lined up. Avery gets a call from the station where all hell has broken lose. He shouts that the very felon Barnes had Murtaugh get out of Jail, Benny Avila, is missing! Uh oh. Luckily there are never any consequences for Roger or Cole so let's not worry about that.
Nat shows up and a heavily sedated Cole asks her to sneak away with her to Bali and says he loves her. She says Bali was just a fantasy and walks out. She complains to Roger about Cole making her crazy and that he never even showed up to raise Maya like he said he would. She then wonders why she’s always venting to Roger and he says it may be because he has such a symmetrical face. Okay, Damon.
He goes to check on Cole, who warns him about trusting Barnes.
That night, Riana is playing Jenga with Maya and they bond, which Trish appreciates. But she’s still grounded and isn’t allowed to have the car tomorrow.
In some Bar, Barnes meets with Benny and tells him to kill *someone.*
Next day, the station is abuzz. Avery has the chief breathing down his neck pressuring him to find Benny, and Cole figures out Roger asked Barnes for help. This is bad, because Benny has a grudge against Sofia, and will cause chaos in the city. But they figure if they find him it will lead them to her.
They decide to squeeze the guard Murtaugh knocked out in the desert. The Gute bets that Bailey can’t get the info out of him in under 3 minutes, if she can, she gets to punch her in the face. This would be payback for how they first met, when the Gute was still undercover and punched Bailey when she tried to arrest her.
Roger and Cole drive over to Nat’s house and he hugs Maya. She’s super happy that her dad is there and gets into the car, smiling at Roger. Cole doesn’t remember anything he said to Nat last night so she tells him to call her if he does. She then leaves and high fives Murtaugh on the way to the car.
Then Cole and Murtaugh argue about how to proceed, and Cole begins to write an apology note to him. When Roger asks what for, Cole tells him ‘for this’ and punches him, knocking him out. He puts him in the Trunk of his own car and heads off alone.
That night, Riana defies her parents and steals the car to meet Dylan. Just as she’s talking about how stupid her parents are, one of them – Murtaugh, still in the trunk – regains consciousness. When Dylan tries to kiss Riana and she is upset he wasn’t listening to her, Roger bursts through the backseat and shouts at them. He orders them to get out of the car and commandeers it to pursue Cole.
As Drew said in the watch-a-long, it’s crazy that this scene is in the same show where Cole got his fingernails pulled off.
Benny shows up with two vans full of gunmen at Sofia’s mansion. Cole is already there and convinces Sofia to leave with him, throwing a pair of scissors into one of the assailants necks in the process.
Out in the yard, she suddenly points the gun at Cole, because he killed her husband. But she doesn’t shoot him because they’re interrupted by Benny! He’s got a gun aimed at her when suddenly we hear an engine revving and Murtaugh hits him with the car. Amazing. They just have to get the car as a weapon in somehow.
Anyway the day is saved.
In the Murtaugh kitchen, Riana is finally not grounded anymore and Murtaugh refuses to tell Trish what happened last night. Great relationship.
Cole meets with Benny and tells him he gave up his whole life, family, for him and the CIA, and he’s not gonna make that mistake again. Then he says if he ever messes with his partner again he’ll kill him and stomps off.
Finally, Gute comes in to Avery’s office. He asks her if she would happen to know anything about Benny Avilla being found in the bathroom stall on the second floor. She laughs it off and there’s no repercussions for any of them.
Meanwhile, Cole has gone back to the hospital. But not to get help, he confronts Nat while she’s at work as an ER doctor. He pursues her into an empty room and they have a bit of a back and forth when suddenly she kisses him. AHHHHH!
