Summary
We're starting the new year strong by stepping into Gregor Samsa's vermin like shoes and asking if we'd survive the metamorphosis experience when we wake up as bug. Collectively one third of this handsome trio has read exactly one half (later revealed to be one third) of Franz Kafka's book but that doesn't stop us as we all have whatever the opposite of an existential crisis is. An existential catharsis? Either way JD immediately goes bug world, Jackson just wants to catch the night bus to the beach and Zammit either dies or survives a trash compactor. It's a very big point of contention of the episode.
