An Alien Among Us?

The agents are still stuck together in the Vault, 24/7, and it's transforming them into different people... mothers and Don Drapers and Avon Barksdale types. Tense from being in the Vault for so long, the agents turn on each other. Each agent falls under scrutiny, and comes out looking suspicious, what with Kettle having shot Bobby in the last episode, Bobby having no past, Casino having borne the devil's child, and Corny's big, blank eyes. Mind games give way to pointed sidearms.... but, luc...

This week, the agents learn that kidnapping and interrogating a potential alien is harder than it looks. Since the previous episode, the agents have kidnapped George (formerly known as Michael), the Amazon deliveryman. George avoids the agents' attempts to trick him, answers their riddles, and even withstands Casino's advances. His empathy helps the agents realize that they're not living normal lives anymore. Despite this, things go haywire, and let's just say that "little" Lucifer lear...

Procrastinating

This episode was recorded after another long week in the Vault, and the agents are not happy. They're thirsty, they have an unfair meal rota, the guys are treating Casino like their mom, and Bobby has developed some bad habits. The agents do a teensy amount of investigation into a strange catalog, looking for clues that it's for Martians, and hatch a plan involving the Google Nest. But by the end of the episode, the agents have gone completely feral, and regress to talking about their f...

The Vault Hunters

It’s season 6, and the agents have been reassigned (demoted) to the FBI's UFO Unit. We find out that Kettle is also testifying at the Depp vs. Heard trial; that Bobby's still in therapy; that Corny thinks there's something odd with the Google Nest; and that Casino doesn't know what an Eiffel Tower is. The episode was recorded at the end of a five-day shift in the Vault, which is why the agents are so punchy and filthy, spending an inordinate amount of time describing their own, and each other...
