Connie agrees with her about the quality of the show but says that Eliza likes the break because she is already tired of Aaron. Connie and Eliza are going to take a break from watching the show. Timmy will be attending to a customer and recommending one of his classic picks, but he will also notice that there is a lot of DVD cases with the wrong DVDs. Timmy announces that they will no longer delay it. The inventory night is tonight.
Eliza takes exception to the decision as this is a free night for her after a long time. But Timmy says everyone must be there to do the work. She reluctantly agrees after the group guilts her into staying. Carlos has his accounting final the next day and needs time to study.
After spending the night with friends like a sleepover, Hannah is jovial. Connie is with the group too, but gets easily sleepy. It’s well past her bedtime, but she must soldier on. Eliza wants everyone to fasten up their efforts so she can still get back home and watch some episodes of her favorite show before Aaron comes back from his retreat. ..
Timmy’s relationship with his parents is one of the most important things in his life. They are always there for him and he loves them, even though they can be a little too strict at times. He gets called to his mother’s old-age home for an emergency call and is surprised to find out she is right - it is actually an alarm! He quickly realizes this is not going to be a normal day and decides to head over there instead. His parents fight in front of him, but he leaves as soon as he knows it’s not going to be a normal day at the store. The situation at the store is very similar - Carlos gets called from his mother wishing him luck on the accounting exam. He has high hopes for this test, but unfortunately things go wrong.
Eliza is getting increasingly annoyed with Connie, whose speed has slowed down. She plans a way to get her livelier. Timmy gets back and apologizes. But, as he is ordering pizza, his mother calls again and he has to go again. Eliza’s patience has crossed the brim and she gives Connie an energy drink to quicken her up. She also confesses that she might not be putting in as much effort as Aaron is into getting back together. This time, Timmy clears the air for his parents and says that next time, they only call him if they have a real emergency.
He cannot keep abandoning his staff and store like this. They agree and apologize. Connie comes out super energized and trots around the store like a mafia boss. Hannah and Carlos secretly record her antics, which Carlos later makes into a short two-minute film. Connie, in her newfound confidence, also speaks the truth about Eliza everyone is thinking. She is stuck in life and unable to make progress as she would have liked. ..
Eliza is uncomfortable when confronted with this reality. She takes it out on Timmy, who finally reveals that he has set boundaries in his relationships once and for all. They both apologize and makeup. Hannah makes Carlos realize he has a talent for filmmaking and he must never abandon that dream. Timmy finds Connie asleep in the break room, where she says that Eliza is unhappy with Aaron and feels it is not working out. Timmy suddenly has new hope in life.
The Episode Review
Inventory day is another ploy from The Office, and probably a lot of other shows I might not have seen. It’s a day where the staff is given a list of items to stock up on, in order to make sure they’re always prepared for whatever might happen.
Blockbuster is making a royal mess of everything. Even the things it has “borrowed” from other sitcoms. It is baffling, to the very core of the meaning of that word, as to how these jokes and plotlines get approved.
Connie was given an energy drink so that she could be lively and complete the inventory, right? And what does she do instead? The creative personnel attached to the show have made a mockery of themselves here. It might be a bit too strict but it is the reality of the situation.
The last Blockbuster in the store in the world is feeling too relaxed. This movie has veered so far off it has reached a point of no return.
