Now, with this episode, I feel like Ive finally solved this ongoing game of tug-of-war between genres.

This show is neither a comedy nor a drama.

It is a secret third genre: wackadoodle.

Need I say more?

But if it means being able to afford this cast, Ill gladly allow it.

So the characters communicate with Linda in the same way she shot her father, through a door.

But as it turns out, she wont have to.

Hes naturally furious when he confronts her, but not just about turning him in.

What happens if I say no?

she wonders via notepad, and Douglas confirms that hed have to partner with Evelyn.

This is blackmail inception.

Hes blackmailing her with the threat of blackmail.

And based on the expensive bracelet he gives Maxine later, it seems to have worked.

While Evelyn failed at partnering with Douglas, she has better luck with Maxine, albeit unintentionally.

This also happens to me but while watching a Carol Burnett performance.

She took away Roberts prince, but maybe she can reunite Norma with hers.

So off she goes to Dinahs yacht party, Norma in tow.

And because this isPalm Royale, it actually works.

The whale picks up and seems to walk his ass right back into the ocean.

See what I mean about these convenient bumping into moments?

Id estimate that 80 percent of this show is characters bumping into other characters.

Interestingly, this puts Robert in a position similar to the one Maxine was in last week.

Hopefully, getting a turn in Maxines shoes will help Robert forgive her.

But at least things are going better for Maxine.

Just kidding, Norma has been trying to murder her all episode.

Just because Robert was a buzzkill and disarmed her last week doesnt mean Norma is giving up hope.

No, shes still got murder on her mind.

Youre all cocksuckers, she cries out as she treads water, then across the water she hears something.

Thank you, Maxine, the whale tells her in its native tongue.

Sure,Palm Royale, whatever you say.
