Episode Report Card Erin: A | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Save the cheerleader. Save the -- wait, how does it go?
By Erin | Season 1 | Episode 5 | Aired on 10.22.2006
There's the trademark bright light flash and then we're actually with the cheerleader as she's being wheeled into the ER. The EMTs are discussing her vitals with the attending and Claire's trying to convince them that she's fine and just wants to go home. They wheel her into a cubicle right next to Jock the Rapist. He looks far worse than she does, but he's still not dead, so I'd say he doesn't look nearly bad enough. Claire's doggy-lovin' mama shows up and fusses over her, but Claire just keeps on insisting that she's fine. Her face does have blood on it, but I'm not entirely sure that's all hers. Jock the Rapist looks over at her and spits out, "Crazy bitch." Ah, good to know a brush with death has given him a new lease on life. Claire's mom pulls out her phone, ostensibly to call Bad Glasses Man.
As luck would have it, BGM is currently dragging a half-naked Nathan through a parking garage with Creepy Bald Guy of Silence on Nathan's other arm. I'm not sure you caught that: half-naked Nathan. Thaaaat's right. Nathan's wearing pajama bottoms and nothing else. And I would like to take a moment to thank both the costume department and the director for allowing this to happen. You'll be getting a fantastic delivery from FTD any day now. Nathan's trying to tell BGM and CBGS just who he is and how he's an important person and he'll pay them anything they want. BGM says they don't want anything, just to ask him a couple of questions, and then his phone rings. It's the missus. He stupidly goes to get it, releasing Nathan for a second, and Nathan takes this opportunity to kick him in the chest and sucker punch CBGS. He runs off with them chasing.
It's a really short, stupid chase, though, because the place is enclosed by a chain-link fence and there's nowhere for Nathan to run. BGM says as much when he and CBGS catch up. Right out in broad daylight, BGM points his gun at Nathan, even though he didn't shoot him when they were back in the garage, so I don't know why he'd bother to shoot him now out in broad damn daylight. Nathan turns and gasps at BGM that he might as well go ahead and shoot him because if he gets out of this alive, he's going to find him and kill him. "I've seen your faces," says Nathan. "That, I'm afraid, won't be a problem," says BGM. He orders CBGS to "put [Nathan] down." I'm assuming by "down" he means, "erase his brain." The two men square off against each other, then, suddenly, Nathan actually SHOOTS up into the sky and there's a loud sonic BOOM and then a silvery white tail of smoke streaks off to the right. HEE! Okay, I have to watch that again. And maybe again. Because that is seriously kick-ass.
