Since Jackson has gone berserk, been shot in the shoulder
by Dariela he now does a runner. Abe and Mitch decide to give chase – despite Alison
deciding she has much better plans for Mitch (a love triangle! Oh and Russian
politics).
They don’t just want Jackson for their fun friendship,
but also because they really need an infected human in which to infect the cure
made up of fossil bones, jellyfish and extinct sabre tooth tigers (we’re not
going to go into this this episode thankfully because I want to get through one
of these episodes without being drunk)
So after a long hunt through a hospital (where we find
that Mitch apparently has an ID card which gives him super powerful influence
in Finland?) that and elderly Finnish woman’s house followed by a car chase
using a parakeet
They don’t find Jackson but they get a consolation price
in the form of an elderly Finnish lady who is unnecessarily invested in Mitch
and Jamie getting it on. I’m really trying to avoid the Alison/Mitch/Jamie love
triangle as each side decides to nobly let the other woman have Mitch because
they both have a thing for passive aggressive sarcasm. Far more amusing is
Mitch’s terrible attempts to comfort Abe over Jackson which is both awful and
full of hypocrisy since Mitch has pretty much carried a storage container of his
own angst around since the first episode.
Anyway, elderly Finnish match-maker lady is also infected
so can be used to brew the jelly-fish/sabretoothtiger/earthquake sloth cure.
Jackson has a higher priority – SUICIDE!
