This is the cold that never ends
It just goes on and on, my friend...
By the way, I finally made a post about last week's episode here if anybody is still interested.
Grover amused me mightily by passing up wearing a coat to go into the freezer while the Hawaiians all bundled up, especially since Hawaii looked to be having lovely trick-or-treating weather while we got snow today. Because this is Greater Chicagoland and that's how we roll.
I loved the scene with Steve and Danny at the beginning. Steve must've been really worried to go so far as to physically track down Danny when he couldn't reach Danny by phone. Danny is clearly not okay no matter what he says, but he's putting on a brave face for everybody, much like someone else we know.
It's in Danny's nature to feel responsible for what happened to Matt because he's the big brother and he's a caretaker personality, but ultimately Matt is responsible for his own poor life choices. The way he was going, it was just a matter of time before he got stuffed in a 50 gallon drum of consequences.
It pleases me that Ellie got her first dose of Steve/Danny banter. She might as well get used to it now if she wants to hang around with Steve.

They don't have the same tolerance for cold that some of the rest of us do due to local climate. I know some people from warm climates who think that 70F is nippy and they need to put on a sweater.
But why on Earth were Danny and Steve going to gung-ho on the Jerry one, going so far as to bend the rules for this guy who's more often a wingnut than not?
Because Roberto Orci is a conspiracy theorist and Jerry is his self-insert underground hero saving all the sheeple who can't see what's really going on.
well, if I'd just lost my brother and had him delivered to me stuffed in a barrel in which there were copious amounts of cash, that would have been a likely trigger
Yeah, they clearly didn't think that one through.
And also fishing at the end felt ... eh, it's really okay if Steve doesn't have a lady friend he can use blatantly for favors.
It would have been nice to bookend the episode with scenes of Steve checking in with Danny. Also, can we have a female character who's her own person? Catherine was very competitive with Steve with first military and then cop stuff. Lori was competitive with Steve with cop stuff and sports stuff. Now Ellie is better at fixing cars and fishing than Steve is? Can't she be knowledgeable about history, or French films, or bird watching, or something that is just hers and has nothing to do with Steve?
