Summary
It seems like ages since we've been down on the Severed Floor just...refining. This episode is trying to get us back on the refinement track. There will be obstacles, of course, like the gang's on-going suspicion about Helly. She's really Helly! I'm just SURE of it. (Or am I??)
There's going to be a funeral...Lumon Style! Get ready for the Irv-carved melon head. It's a bit of a nightmare cooked up by Dan Erickson with a little help from Google. We'll get into all the details and behind the scenes melon-carving secrets.
Seth will be sitting for a performance review. He's ready...except for those ORTBO incidents...oh, and all of those big words!!
Are you ready, Refiner? This is PART ONE of "Trojan's Horse." Make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss PART TWO next week!
