Season 2 Episode 17: OnlyDinosaurs

RIP Harambe simp

Nate and Tom are together! The brothers look at a website to help with their Jurassic Parks. Tom and Nate have brainstormed a new meme and its up to Drew to get it #trending #ripharambesimp. And they talk about a weird episode of Lethal Weapon.

## Episode Summary

Tom literally joins Nate for this weeks episode, as he’s vacationing in California. Nate sabotaged Tom’s audio so it sounds like the Owlsly episode again.

They talk about driving and dinosaurs, saw some cool cars, ate some salt. The Lethal Weapon episode was an all-timer, completely off the rails. Drew finds out about a very cool company that makes dinosaurs, onlydinosaurs.com!

They’re just like brothers who keep punching each other in the backseat of Dad's Car. Speaking of Dad, he's been oddly absent lately, seemingly avoiding his little superstars. He even went so far as to hire 100 drivers to drive around in different cars to distract the boys and prevent them from taking pictures in front of his Fiat.

> “Meanwhile. Murtaugh and Riggs’ living arrangements have not gone smoothly. The case this week involved a murder of a contractor on a construction site. Their living situation seemed to permeate within the episode, prompting some funny exchanges and the fact that the rest of the squad had a pool about how long they would stay together.”

Riggs and Murtaugh are still living together. Some guy gets impaled with a forklift and our heroes investigate. Trish is involved and so is Molly! She’s back, as is Bailey. But not Bowman! But guess who is? Motherfucking Azouley! Basically Trish needs to finalize a deal with a big Texan businessman, but spoiler alert he turns out to be the bad guy. We get great action and Riggs and Murtaugh jump out of a flying plane. Overall. This was an insane episode. Truly one of the best.

This one starts at a construction site, two men are in a heated argument. One man leaves, a woman comes out from under the table. You think we’re gonna get a bona fide sexual scenario, but suddenly BOOM a forklift crashes through the wall behind them and impales the guy on one of it’s (very blunt) spokes.
While this may physically would be possible, it would have had to been moving so incredibly fast to spear the guy clean through the chest (which we do see in two separate scenes).

Damon and Clayne are still living together, not going great. Trish and Avery confiding in each other, Avery is in their kitchen in a suit. Very strange. But we love them both. Anyway, they’re talking about Murtaugh.

Bailey is back, guess her self-imposed time out expired. Even Scorsese is there acting all weird around the corpse. Their victim was some contractor, Sam Higgins (Dan Warner). Riggs finds a cock ring then the intro starts.

They interrogate the Woman (Kate Blumberg) but don’t really get anything.

Clayne calls Cahill in what appears to be a Buick commercial (The show enjoys promotional consideration by Buick & Microsoft), showing all the great features like backup cameras. He tells her the reason he just broke it off with Molly by saying “*What was I gonna say? ‘My lunatic, racist father killed your sons’ dog? Yeah, it didn’t seem like that would really benefit anyone, so I did the next best thing and said nothing*.” She finally arrives and kicks him out. No high five.

Bailey’s back! She finds major clues about some safety inspector - with a record. They all drive to that guy’s current job site. There, they find him among the crowd. But…Trish is there, as is her boss MR AZOULEY (Carlo Rota)! Henry Butler (Michael McGrady), a large Texan grocery store mogul is also present, since he’s getting ready to finish up a deal with Azouley. Azouley’s lawyer, Trish, is going to help finalize the deal.

They find the suspect, Gary Fillmore (Jesse Bush) in the crowd and in what could possibly be a reference to Groundhog Day, Riggs calls out *“Gary? Gary Fillmore?*” He runs but they tackle him. When they take him off the premises however, he accidentally bumps into the demolition button that Azoulay wanted to push as part of his bucket list, oh no! The building implodes in the distance. He flew 8000 miles to push that button! This infuriates Trish to no end.

Back in the station, Trish fears the worst when she sees Riggs talking to Butler, but once inside the booth she finds out they’re having a grande ol’ time. Since they’re both Texans, they connect instantly. He wants to leave but Riggs that silver tongued devil convinces him to stay one more night and join him, Azoulay and the Murtaughs for a *real Texan BBQ.*

The contractor claims he only was there to intimidate the victim, someone else killed him, likely those cartel drug dealers!

Riggs goes to check on Molly. Remember her? His love interest before he met Ruth. She lives with her son, Ben. Ben’s dad, Jake, was Riggs old best friend but he’s on the run after a heist gone wrong. Riggs' Dad had Ben's dog killed.

Molly has a food truck now, called **“Good Golly Miss Molly**”. Really. Last time we saw her she was a waitress at some restaurant. She’s kind of pissed but when he mentions Butler, she says she knows that name and is intrigued. She agrees to come to Murtaughs that night to cook a Texas BBQ dinner...yes really.

After that Riggs and Murtaugh follow up some clue from that guy, they wind up in some garage with two guys torturing a third one. They’re pushing his nose onto a spinning tire, blood everywhere. Tom loved this, he couldn’t look away.

They deny any involvement and blame Butler, but just as Roger and Riggs leave, they hear the guy moaning in the trunk. They pop it and sigh, since they find the victim and realize they’ll now have to fight these guys – and be late for the big dinner. By the way, it looked like they were grinding off the guys nose but later we see the guy in the trunk and the nose is all there. Anyway, they fight and win, of course.

Finally we get to the long-awaited dinner scene at the Murtaugh Mansion. Trish and Murtaugh are hosting, Butler is there, Azouley is there, Riggs is there talking to Molly, who parked her food truck just outside.

At one point, Bailey calls Riggs, and during this call she walks past a poster of bowman ☹ (he was the literal poster boy for the LAPD recruitment in case anyone has forgotten.) She already did what Clayne suggests, which is trying to get Butlers blueprints. Apparently, he’s a major Meth dealer/transporter, who plans to utilize the abandoned subway tunnels below the construction site for his smuggling operation.

He texts Rog “We need cowboy’s blueprints”, so they attempt to distract him by talking about Marriage or whatever.

It goes horribly wrong; Butler clearly sees Clayne steal the blueprints and asks, “What is your friend doing with my blueprints?”

Trish dinks more wine. Riggs burns the chicken.

Back at the station, Roger is trying to find somewhere else to stay. Avery comes in but before Roger suggests he could stays with him and Todd, Avery pulls in Sonya to deal with him and bolts. World’s best boss? Undoubtedly.

This is also where we find out the rest of the office has a betting pool going on about how long Roger and Martin can stay together. Avery already lost.

The next day Trish is at the airport on the phone with Roger. He says  they don’t really have any evidence they can use in court or whatever, but just then, she overhears Butler arguing with Gary (the safety inspector), actually shouting that he told him to kill the victim in a subtle way. Just as Trish wants to escape, they find her and try to force her on Butlers private jet. But she talks her way out of it being a great defense attorney. Riggs and Murtaugh however think she was kidnapped and they do actually board the plane.

They don't realize Trish isn't on the plane until it's in the air. Somehow they fight, Riggs accidentally shoots the pilot, and a hole into the window – then Gary gets sucked out, plugging the hole. Gruesome!

They jump out of the plane which surely didn’t cause any harm when it crashed, and land safely.

Riggs killed the pilot and another guard, but only knocked out Butler – so he may regain consciousness before the plane crashes, a particularly cruel death. But it is the last we see of him and it’s never addressed.

Finally back at the station Bailey says she contacted the Texas Rangers, and they’re raiding Meth labs all across Texas right now. We were about to get a Scorsese/Murtaugh arc, but unfortunately Rog jumped out of a plane for Trish, so she “takes him back” and they are all good again and he moves back in. Aww. Note that Murtaugh never actually apologizes. This is so strange because a major reason their whole argument started was because she thought he was engaging in too much risky behavior. They were apart for like 3 episodes! And don’t even mention his heart issues.

Riggs wants more from Molly but she says something about his Dads dark shadow. It was also fucked up she finds out about his dad killing bens dog

Molly gets SUPER STRAIGHT with him and says he needs to "figure it out" with his dad - *that's* what she wants. Then she goes back into her food truck and the episode ends.

Amazing episode. Buckwild. Grounbreaking.

It doesn’t have to make sense if it’s good!
