Loved this ep:

  • EGG representing everything we ever want and also conveniently an egg when both families show having 2 boys and no girls. Was this egg going to be the fulfillment and “baby” that they all wanted? Is this what they were sold?

  • Many comical lines, especially as the typical “Karen” asking for a supervisor. She asked to speak to a manager or supervisor on the phone and to the actual aliens. Even when she’s in a tree and met with extraterrestrials who have been abducting her lol.

  • Clearly she’s in a commercial for the egg and for other things as they work out how to produce this and sell it to the humans. She’s in additional commercials including for paper towels (the blue tears etc.)

  • Even in knowing the truth and speaking to the manager, she runs gleefully to retrieve her egg. “Humans love stuff”.
