i also appreciate the support and let's talk about this episode in the comments because to me
this episode seemed like it was like 10 minutes long there wasn't a lot going on of course we get
some reveals and i love these characters but this episode was just a little bit off in my opinion
but let's talk about oscar can we trust him and maple and obviously her cousin and then of course
who is tim what tim is trying to take down a black market drooler what's going on with the stem
character let's talk about the pros and cons and your thoughts and theories and of course update
me on your suspect list in the comment section so let's talk about this episode which honestly
it is my least favorite episode of the series so far it felt really weird the pacing was a little
bit off it wasn't all that funny i know we've been out of the condominium complex but for
some reason this like mini road trip that we went on to uh bayport just felt like it was just like
it's not a filler episode i'm not gonna say because i know some people probably say it's
a filler episode we did learn stuff in this episode so it wasn't technically a filler but
it just felt like it was just a throwaway episode almost in a certain extent besides
the reveals that we got but it was just a weird episode i didn't hate it but i it's definitely my
least favorite of the five but just again let me know your thoughts your pros and cons let's talk
about it but let's let's try to break it down because honestly i'm looking at my notes here
there wasn't a lot to break down but we're gonna find some stuff and theorize and have a fun time
with you all so we finally meet the person that's wearing the tie-dyed hoodie and it's no other than
oscar which i think we all assumed that was gonna be oscar and for all those that's like
wait again who's oscar if you all remember episode two we got a little bit of backstory of maple and
her hearty boys crew where we first met oscar who was the boyfriend of zoey who was the girl that
fell off the roof and oscar was i guess accused or blamed of killing his girlfriend even though
tim knew it an oscar that got into the fight with his girlfriend he said it was someone else that
pushed her off the building so obviously there's some tensions there's some beef between those two
which would leave us as i always think oh well yeah as soon as oscar gets out of jail which
he tells mabel as as she you know fights him and she finds out who it is that he's
been in jail for 10 years and obviously you would think that he would have a lot of hate
towards him after not telling the truth that he wasn't the one that pushed his girlfriend
off of the roof ten years ago so we would out of this hours we were like oh yeah it has to
be oscar but i think when there's an episode we can pretty much take oscar off the list at least
we think so because he seems to be a nice guy level-headed yoga trainer we'll see but again just
seeing who this guy is and getting a little bit of his back so it was interesting i assume
moving forward oscar's going to be kind of the the fourth member of this kind of new
weird ragtag group of hardy boys with obviously mabel charles oliver and now you know we're
gonna have oscar maybe jan so this is like the weirdest scooby-doo crew i've ever seen but
nonetheless again obviously in this episode oliver and charles sees that she is with him and they're
like especially oliver he's just like forget this it's her she's involved and charles like listen
man we need to have faith we need to have hope in her maybe there's a reason behind that and that's
really kind of the the gist of the episode they followed them to i believe it was bayport uh where
obviously in the car we see the kind of little bit more of oscar and get more of that genuine
human side that he probably didn't killed him even though he had plans of beating his ass and
who could blame him this man put you to jail or didn't necessarily put him in jail but he didn't
speak the truth in regards to no it wasn't oscar that pushed zoe off the uh the the uh the building
which again makes me think tim's intentions why would he not speak up about that which again just
goes back to the theory of who really was tim and we'll get to tim and being a a jewel black market
take down person but nonetheless within these moments in the episode that i just felt the
the lack of chemistry i said it a couple reviews ago but whenever our three main characters mabel
and oliver and charles whenever they're not together and we see them interact with other
people the vibe and the energy don't really vibe the same or really kind of mesh the same with me
because i felt the chemistry between oscar and mabel obviously in real life yes the chemistry
amongst them would be a little bit off because she hasn't seen him in 10 years but even putting
that aside i just felt like their their back and forth as actors just didn't really play to me well
because yes you can have that awkwardness that kind of let me kind of reevaluate this person that
i haven't seen that's been in jail for 10 years but it just didn't play well to me not so much on
um selena gomez's acting but it was the gentleman that played oscar this was just something weird a
little bit off about his acting i hope to grow i hope he grows on me but i'm just not the biggest
fan of his performance thus far but minus all that stuff honestly getting down to the episode
we see them follow them to which oscar was a bit of a help he helps mabel crack the code of where
the gm little thumbtack that we saw last week and that it led to them going to her cousin's tattoo
parlor and during that they go to the gas station and we see charles and oliver meet you know some
other podcasters that like make trees that that stuff to me the comedy beats in this episode which
is like a little bit awkward just like didn't fit within the narrative and it didn't fit within the
comedy beats we got in the previous four episodes but it's within kind of literally like the last
five minutes where the episode really did give us a little bit more meat as this is where mabel
tells charles and oliver yes i knew tim no oscar did not kill tim and they get that reveal and this
is where her cousin comes in i believe his name is taco or something with a t but he tells them oh he
died oh that makes sense because he was trying to take down this black market jeweler which is just
like when then obviously this is where mabel says well this kind of lines up what she reveals that
she found on the julian's apartment but again it's just like who was tim and what's the deal with
him trying to take down this jeweler i guess the biggest question outside of who tim was regarding
this driller situation who was this girl that he was in love with that he was going to ask to
marry him to get the ring for have we met this character yet does she live in the building
is it somehow which again we can talk about the theories in regards to updating our suspect list
as we can i guess take oscar out of the equation since she's gonna be maybe part of this crew
i still think jan she's my number one candidate right now and next to her is probably will because
i think will just thinking more about will who's oliver's son maybe he was rejected maybe he didn't
get invited to the hardy boys crew maybe he wanted to hang out with them he has some resentment
this that and the other um but i still think it's jan and maybe jan had a uh i don't know
man i still think it's dan i go back to my thing of her having that double life that she told
charles last week when she was a kid and maybe she has his life where she plays instruments at night
but then she's also a killer at night or maybe she is involved in this black market drool situation
so i still think jan's my number one next to will being rejected in the club and then again
who's this mystery woman that tim was in love with maybe she has something to do with his uh
demise so i still love the show i still love these characters but i'm not gonna lie this episode was
a little bit on the weaker side for me from a dialogue comedy mystery element it just wasn't
my favorite again i like these characters so much as i said many times it's just this was a really
weird awkwardly uh paced episode and the tone just was a little bit all over the place but i will say
one thing i learned about this episode i'm going to try this theory out this trick a little bit
later when oliver got brain freeze to put your thumb on the top of your i don't i've never
heard of that so uh this gives me an excuse to have some ice cream later tonight but hey guys
that's my thoughts on this fifth episode twist not my favorite but it does open the door to oliver
being involved in this crew and again jan i have my eyes on you but let me know your pros
your cons your thoughts your theories and your updated suspect list after this fifth episode
