Logan's Run'd

*Season 1,* *Episode 2a*

**"Logan's Run'd"** is the first segment of the second episode (and the third story overall) of *Close Enough*.

## Synopsis

In a last-ditch attempt to prove they can still party, Emily, Josh and Alex follow Bridgette to a hot new nightclub.

## Plot

Candice gets invited to her first sleepover, engulfing her parents in emotions within the process. Upon Candice's departure via the black hatchback owned by her friend's parents, Josh and Emily decide to finish up some backed-up chores.

Josh and Emily triumphantly retire for the night, and proceed to drink herbal tea while watching *The Great British Bake Off* with Alex joining them. Bridgette walks by and informs Josh, Emily and Alex that they are all getting old and she is on her way to a nightclub. Josh, Emily and Alex at first refuse, but then ponder on their own activities such as drinking tea, using a foot spa and going to bed at 6:00pm. They suddenly feel insecure upon Bridgette's remarks and ask to accompany her to the nightclub.

The gang's trip to the nightclub was initially heading well until Bridgette spotted a fellow social influencer and had decided to get better acquainted with him.

Josh and Emily had tried to go on a bender like they used to when they were younger but just when they were ready to retire for the night, they realized to their dismay that it was only 9:15pm. They soon turned to complaining instead and just wished to go home. Meanwhile Alex tried to party with some younger women but the latter took advantage of Alex's naive nature and made him swallow a pill of what is purportedly Ecstasy which understandably made Alex do questionable things in public. All the meanwhile Bridgette had managed to get alone with the YouTube and Instagram Celebrity that she spotted, after making out with him and agreeing to reconvene at his home, Bridgette horrifyingly discovers that the Internet Celebrity is a toddler who is just 26 months old.

While Josh and his friends were all going through their own melodrama, a glaringly out of age and out of trend man walked into the bar. The barkeeper asked to see the man's ID, to which the man complied. After finding out that the man is indeed well over 30, the barkeeper tricked the man into getting executed via a giant ceiling fan in a grandiose manner.

Josh soon realized that he and his friends would be executed soon enough if they didn't escape quickly. Unfortunately, despite his best efforts to snag his friends and escape the night club; Josh got compromised by the barkeeper himself.

Alex, who was still feeling the effects of the pill had revealed himself to be well over 30, shifting the attention towards him. As Alex was about to get sucked into the ceiling fan, Josh grabbed onto his ankles and made him realize that there are advantages of being old. Josh got sucked closer to the ceiling fan until Emily grabbed his ankles in turn.

Bridgette snapped out of her delirium, grabbed a chair, and threw it into the fan, destroying it. This made the barkeeper reveal that he intends to kill all people over 30 who walk into his bar, referencing to “Logan’s Run”, a film released in 1976. Alex realizes this and asks the barkeeper how old he really is. When the barkeeper tries to make an excuse about seeing the movie, Alex then rips off the barkeeper's toupee, revealing him to be a frail, balding old man over 50 years old which shocks and disgusts people.

The barkeeper attempted to justify his actions by claiming that if people over 30 convened at his bar, it would have turned into a pub. As the crowd assaulted the barkeeper for his hypocritical and ageist reason for killing people, Josh and his friends finally escape. They go to a diner and eat chocolate sauce covered pancakes as was planned but later conclude that the pancakes are too sweet for their taste. The gang shares a lighthearted moment, which prompts Alex to remind everyone that they had witnessed a man get publicly executed.
