Huzzah! It’s time for The Festival of Living Art and everyone in town is dropping everything to make this happen!

Oh wait… [checks notes]: This isn’t Gilmore Girls. Are we sure?

Grumpy guy who owns a local eatery? Check.

Charming single mom (okay, allllmost single mom) who makes said restaurant owner come out of his shell? Check.

Teens performing Romeo & Juliet? Check!

Tell me this is not Gilmore girls.

Okay, but really, what’s the point of this episode? Seems to me it’s just for funsies because almost nothing consequential happens. One thing is clear though: The production budget IS LIT! Everybody — even casual attendees (except special guest, Tim) — is in FULL PERIOD regalia.

Jack is sporting a seriously cringy accent.

And Muriel is the queen/Helena Bonham Carter from Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.

Everyone is performing Shakespeare, except Jack and Preacher, who have a duel because… plot device.

So, what even happens in this episode? First, we are introduced to Chris’s brother, Tim. Chris, of course, is the guy Jack couldn’t save in Iraq, but what we didn’t know was how HILARIOUS Chris was!

If that’s not a knee-slapper, I don’t know WHAT is.

Hope meets Denny, and invites Denny to move in, only no one knows he was breaking into the medicine cabinet last night.

I’m not a doctor, so don’t know what Schedule II drugs are, but it seems to me that if they are that serious, perhaps you wouldn’t store them in a glass cabinet for the world to see.

And Julia and Preacher keep things PG by teaching her niece to shoot a target.

If I’m Julia, I have a lot of other concerns beyond helping my teenage niece at this point. Like, who are the people in the drawings in the picnic basket??? Do you have a secret family I’m not aware of???

Preacher wouldn’t have time to explain anyway since duty calls.

And everyone in town CANNOT BELIEVE they were lucky enough to get a ticket to this!

But the best part, by far, is when the duel turns into The Bachelor for a second.

But the award for most valuable actress goes to Lizzie!

Unfortunately, Brady missed the whole duel — which is really too bad as it would have been a good way for him and Jack to make peace because it’s super important to Brie now.

Oft… it’s so challenging when your girlfriend is all, “You need to get over the whole my-brother-accused-you-of-murder-and-had-you-wrongly-imprisoned” thing.

PS: Doesn’t Brie have more pressing concerns, like how to clear Brady’s name?

Oh, never mind — they are working on that! Brady and Calvin have a quick meet-up while the rest of the town is busy. (I can’t help but wonder why the feds wouldn’t be surveilling this place now that it’s up and running again, especially since the COO is accused of trying to kill someone, but okay…)

I like that Brady waited around for Calvin. If only the raid could have waited around for him! #rude

Also, I appreciate Calvin’s willingness to be DIRECTLY involved in his maleficence.

This isn’t one of those criminal operations where the big boss is hard to get access to and is separated from the people who are actually doing the bad stuff. This guy is not shy about the fact that he is running things.

One guy who’s running things but has been kept in the dark: Vernon.

Oh man, poor Vern. Now Denny’s gonna be sleeping over and who knows what that kid will get into!

I smell an intervention coming!

But it’s gonna be Jack.

Everyone tells Jack he needs to go to therapy. Which, duh.

But instead of getting on Betterhelp.com and looking for a therapist who can talk NOW, he just sits around drinking and thinking about some of Chris’s BEST jokes.

But the most important development of this episode is that Cameron learned how to rock the maypole.
