## Episode Summary

Globe Hell Warning (shout out World Wide Wiki) has gone on hiatus, and it seems to have affected Drew and his work on Claynecast. He told us about how he's been washing his hair in the dishwasher, prompting Tom to talk about the competing topic of globAL warMing. The Globe Hell hiatus is also taking its toll on World Wide Anthem composer Nate, who recently broke his hard-earned 2 week sobriety.  It’s okay though, they’re all going to be getting the help of a couples therapist...pending our support of their upcoming Patreon page.

That's right. We (the listeners of ClayneCast) have let the hosts down. We failed to secure the Bee NFT’s and now they’re CRASHING and it’s all over! But it doesn't matter, because this is the last FREE episode of the show. From now on each episode will be behind a paywall (approx. $100 per episode). With your support, we can put an end to the stress caused by the will/won't they-will/won't theyness of Drew and Nate's relationship.

### Lethal Weapon episode recap

Season 2 Episode 6: **"Gold Rush"**

Riggs testifies at his best childhood friends’ Parole hearing. He claims his friend, Jake Voss (Linds Edwards), is one of their best informants, and he gets released. Clayne offers him a ride, but he already has someone set up, a scruffy looking guy with a distinct neck tat.

Second scene, of course, is in the Murtaughs Kitchen. Rogers rotten spawn is back unfortunately. Roger finds a JOINT in a box of cookies. Reefer! But he’s actually pretty chill about it, like he doesn’t yell but he’s just a complete weirdo this whole episode. He suspects Son of Roger, but Riana also acts suspicious, so he yanks out a strand of their hair and says he’s gonna use the lab at work to test them for drugs. Love to see police using official resources for their private shenanigans.

Then we go to the Crime scene, some rich guy’s house. Gold bars are missing. And there’s a body. Scorsese is there too and discovers a phone number on the victim’s hand. He informs them the victim’s name was Kenny Stokes, he was just released on parole yesterday. He rolls the body over and we see that It’s the guy who picked up Jake yesterday! Uh-oh

Finally we get more of Scorsese! Murtaugh comes into the Morgue, and Scorsese senses a mind meld but roger just wants him to test his kids’ hairs for POT!

Clayne goes to some woman’s house, Molly Hendricks (Kristen Gutoskie) whom he knows from the good ol’ days in Texas. She was together with Jake and they have a kid.

But just as Riggs is flirting it up with her, Roger calls! The number on the dead guys hand belonged to one Molly Hendricks – the Molly Riggs is talking to! Roger tells Clayne what he already knows and then Jake shows up. He sees Riggs and thinks he’s there to arrest him and speeds off. Riggs chases after him in his truck. At some point Roger passes him, realizes it was Riggs and pulls a highly risky U-turn to join the chase.

Eventually Riggs catches up to the guy and confronts him, but he denies killing that guy. He says Riggs owes him, to which Clayne says he better not go far – and Jake speeds off.

Murtaugh comes and is like why’d you let him go! But nothing happens.

At some point we get a flashback to young riggs. Young Molly and young Jake are playing video games at young Riggs’ home, when his dad comes home and starts beating him. He uses his belt to smack Riggs around until he knocks him to the floor. Just as he’s about to take another swing though, Jake blasts his brains out with the gun from episode 4! Woah! So *that’s* what he owes him for. Or as Keith puts it " Riggs’s dad finally stopped after Jake came back and killed him and went to prison for it." What a guy. The ultimate GOAT.

Anyway, Avery holds a meeting on their suspect, Jake, but again nothing happens, and they just end up meeting with Jake, much to Murtaughs chagrin. He tells them there was a *third* guy there who did it!

Murtaugh takes him to get food and Riggs goes back to the station.

Inspired by Jakes third-suspect angle, Scorsese and the B-team run a second check on the crime scene and find one of Jakes hairs. There, Bailey reveals that she sent Bowman a sext last night! Sonya! But before she could even text him to say it was a mistake, he rejected her. Damn!  Oh yeah they also discover that the safe was opened with the code, not drilled open.

Back at the station Scorsese also informs Murtaugh that both Son of Roger and Riana’s hair tested negative! So that only leaves Trish! What? *Her*?!

Roger confronts Trish but she is way too smart for him and so beautiful. She says he should have thought about who among the people living in their house could be getting high and then Roger and all of us recall that Riggs is living in his trailer in their garage. Great detective work Roger.

They head back to the Robbery victim Albert Cooks house and confront him about the code, and he comes clean to them about staging the whole robbery. He hired the victim to make it seem like he was robbed because he was getting divorced, his wife was having an affair with their mechanic. Roger says, “I guess he was waxing your car *and* your wife!” and they spend some time talking about what a great joke that was…

He tells them he met Kenny (the dead guy) at the Parole office. Then they find out about the parole officer Robert McCoy. He was briefly in Avery’s office before to tell Avery (Kevin Rahm, the GOAT) about Riggs testifying on Jake’s behalf the other day, but then he just leaves and nothing comes of it.

The B-Team checks McCoy’s office out but it’s empty. There’s some more edging, Bowman says “Sexting is awesome! You should see some of the stuff on my phone…” and then Bailey discovers a recording device taped underneath the aquarium and tells bowman to “lay down” with her. It’s a bona fide sexual scenario, but before we see any action, the scene ends.

They bring the recorder back to the station, and say they think McCoy was eavesdropping on parolees, so he could scoop up their score. So Jake isn’t a bad guy?

Meanwhile Jake steals a Lamborghini at gunpoint at a fancy car shop, where the Rich guy from the start had apparently deposited the gold. Then he meets with Molly at some park, but she rejects him and the gold. He realizes it’s over when Riggs and Murtaugh show up and try to talk sense into him. But suddenly he gets shot – it’s McCoy!

After a brief chase, Murtaugh pops the bad guy in the shoulder and cuffs him. Riggs is having a sentimental moment with Jake, with flashbacks to when they were kids. He tells Jake to punch him so he has a believable story and tells him to run. But not with the gold!

Avery pretends to be mad at Clayne, who swears he’ll let him know if he ever sees Jake again. We are left to wonder if any of this had happened if Clayne hadn’t helped Jake get paroled but of course Riggs ain’t getting fired.

Rog confronts Riggs about the Joint at some point but he just says that it’s not his because he smokes fatties! Hell yeah. Or as Keith says: "Riggs denied that it was his since he rolled his joints differently."

That night, Roger is talking to Trish in their kitchen. This is the first time they mention Harper (their infant child) since season 1. But Roger is laughing uncontrollably, and then we find out he unwittingly ate 15 cannabis edibles that their cousin Connie brought over. She had “special” medicine to treat her glaucoma. Roger calls her cock-eyed Conny, which seems slightly offensive considering her condition.

Roger is totally baked. Riggs brings him a brewski and some Cheese-Whizz, and they both pig out. This is one of the best moments between them tbh. Love it.

Overall. Good episode, good enough at least. Again, we have like 8 different plots going on simultaneously which all somehow intertwine but ultimately are just smoke and mirrors. At least we get some action again, notably the multiple car chases. Is Clayne gonna get together with Molly? Maybe she and her kid are just what Riggs needs to get over Miranda and his dad.

## The Leftist Angle

Leftists love to tip!

Unsolicited Sexting isn't cool, even if it was from Bailey.

Johnny’s defamation trial against Amber is not going well for him, and it looks like the creative control/rights to AMP may be going to none other than Jeff motherfucking Goldblum! GOATBlum!

## The ClayneClandestine

We briefly see the grey/gray Lamborghini where the Gold is found at the start of the episode where it is parked in front of the “robbery” victims house. The Camera even lingers on it for a frame, foreshadowing it's relevance. Albert Cook hid the gold there before he staged the robbery.

Clayne is still not really over his dead wife Miranda because when him and Murtaugh meet with Jake, he gets a text from Avery telling them to “get the duck back to the office” and his phone wallpaper is a picture of Miranda.

## Trivia

Scary Movie is a Scream reboot/remake.

Lethal Weapon *wishes* it was Heat x Grumpier old Men.

Arrow’s the man. He’s also a beast, however.

Keith is the ultimate GOAT.

Being a good fan means leaving the person alone. If you’re a good fan, the greatest gift you can give is leaving someone alone. Just enjoy from afar.

The second greatest gift would have been the Bee NFT's, but we're all over that now.

Drew was right in episode 3, they *were* setting up Riggs to have been abused by his father as a kid.

If you wanna have a six pack, you gotta ditch the six pack. A six pack is made in the Kitchen not in the Gym.

Nate knows more about Tequila than probably anyone in the entire world! ¡Salud!

## Freaky Figures

Nate has spent thousands of dollars on stuff since episode 4. That could be sooooo many bees!
