Since Joey had to jet off on her honeymoon, Mel was left alone worrying about Jack… or was she?

Thank goodness her bestie was here for her when she needed him the most. PS: I thought Brie was Mel’s bestie, but Brie was obvs busy last night.

Anyway, good thing Preacher was on the case. And this time, he solves it!

How missing was Jack, exactly? Because he seems shockingly easy to find! Which is good because Mel’s gotta work in the morning.

What exactly is the clinic’s PTO policy???? She hasn’t been at work ALL WEEK!

Brady’s also gotta get to work, and it looks like Emerald Lumber is on a real upswing — check out their signage!

When did this sketchy company have time to hire a logo designer?

Anyway, as usual, the feds are really not doing their job with this place! If only they had bugged it because Brady’s gonna have to get really clear with his new manager on what is and is not listed in his job description.

And who is his new manager exactly? This lady, who looks an awful lot like Goldie from Workin’ Moms.

If #menancingolderwomen isn’t trending on Twitter, it really should be. We get two of them this episode! Mel is barely at work for a minute before she has to deal with another one — her dead husband’s mom.

Now this person, you’ll recall, is Mark’s sister. (I did not recall, so luckily the writers on this episode did the heavy lifting to remind me.) Anyway, she came to town to deliver some REALLY weird news.

Meanwhile, Jack is finally getting a referral to therapy and really, it’s about time.

Now forgive me for saying so, but Jack going to therapy really does remind me a lot of Luke listening to that self-help tape on Gilmore Girls.

Anyway, the super great thing about Barry is he has IMMEDIATE openings in his schedule and comes to you!

My Yelp review for Barry: “Highly recommend. Five stars.”

Barry is working all kinds of miracles because Preacher is finally opening up to Julia.

THIS might be the understatement of the century. Two words: hidden body.

Okay, anyway, these two end up in bed together, and immediately afterward, Preacher’s phone rings. Of course!!

And it’s Christopher! Of course!!!

Now, I’m not judging anyone’s parenting, especially when they aren’t even the real parent, but you didn’t drill this phone number into this kid’s head?! Or teach him how to evade kidnappers? Or buy him one of those watches that will track your kid’s location?? Too bad because instead of giving Preacher ANY information that would help him get out of this situation, he just says:

Now, I am betting Vince is suffering some sort of psychotic break from the murder/mysterious disappearance of his twin (WE DO NOT MENTION THIS ENOUGH!!) plus the stress of being on an extended road trip with this tiny artist who is probably going through sketch pads like nobody’s business. And he’s probably running out of money since he goes to work even less than Mel, but I digress…

Now, a critical question: why aren’t the police monitoring Preacher’s phone in case something like this happens? I know not everyone’s in on this, but Mike’s on the case, right????

Eh… Mike’s priorities seem to be set by Brie rather than the sheriff’s department, so he’s got his hands full today.

She figured out where Calvin might be hiding! Now, call me crazy, but does the VR police force not have a helicopter where they might, say, happen to spot a body of water that’s NOT ON THE MAP??

Well, they don’t. And official police rules state that if you find the potential hide out, you get to go on the stake out!

Now Brie is too busy conspiring with Mike to take a call from Brady. If she did answer, maybe she wouldn’t have been so surprised when this happened to Calvin’s boat.

Wow, when Brady’s boss demotes someone, she really commits. #bosslady
