Lodge 49 season two, episode two recap: The Slide

Slow Motion Smack Down

Until the FBI freezes Dr. Kimbrough’s credit card and seizes the luxury sedan, Liz decides to live a little. Liz, Dud, and Bobby still hang out on the couch, but now they’re eating rotisserie chicken and campaign. She tells Dud and Bobby that it’s all courtesy of an expense account the doctor gave her. She even decides to take Champ (David Ury) and Gerson (Atkins Estimond) out to the aquarium for neon jellyfish sightings and churros.

Meanwhile, Dud comes upon a customer named Lenore (Bertila Damas). She knew Dud’s dad. While Dud is talking to her, Booie pulls up in his Pool Party truck. He attacks Dud and hit his leg repeatedly. Liz’s day of fun is ruined when she’s called to come to get Dud. She’s had enough of people pushing the Dudley’s around. With Champ, Gerson, and Dud in the car, Liz races to Pool Party and crashes the doctor’s car into Booie’s truck. Everyone gets out in some state of concussion except Liz. She jumps on top of Booie’s truck and rips off the Pool Party banner from the Dudley sign. But, while she’s still on the truck, Booie puts it in drive and aims for Dud. He is able to drop flat on his back and avoid impact to everyone’s surprise.

For a fee, Burt (Joe Grifasi) brokers a deal where everyone agrees to not press charges. Pool Party agrees to vacate the premises. Is Liz about to go back into debt and reopen the pool cleaning biz? Is Liz going to owe the money she spent on the doctor’s credit card? Does everyone owe Burt a part of their soul?

Also in this episode, Blaise (Dave Pasquesi) is still bittersweet about life and the Lodge. Scott and Jocelyn (Adam Godley) don’t seem to notice a door in the middle the Lodge 49 facade while they’re changing light fixtures and talking about love. And Connie (Linda Emond) talks with Melinda, who may actually be Clara (Pollyanna McIntosh).

Were you expecting the battle of Pool Party to happen this quickly? Do you think Dud might dreaming all of this? Let’s discuss in the comments!
