She and Michael canvass for Jayden, but they don’t have much luck with Phoebe looking and smelling like she just came from a one-night stand. Malika brings her a change of clothes, and a couple invites Phoebe to use their bathroom to change.
Malika critiques the gentrification of her old neighborhood, while Phoebe enjoys the luxuries of the couple’s bathroom. She decides to take a back, then knocks the signatures she gained for Jayden into the tub and loses all progress. The host then kicks her out when she catches her using their bath and towels.
Jayden and Jessie have more success than Phoebe at the beginning of their canvassing efforts. They take their daughter, Aisha, and spin the endeavour as a “family fun day.” (Aisha isn’t fooled.)
While canvassing, the team unintentionally get sucked into a birthday party of one of Aisha’s classmates. They leave Aisha there to continue canvassing and abandon the family fun day. ..
Later, they stop a young mother on the street. She talks about her daughter and advises them to spend as much time with family as possible. This makes them miss Aisha, so they give up on canvassing and go back to the birthday party. ..
Meanwhile, Phoebe comes up with an idea to get more signatures. She starts looking for doorsteps with food deliveries on them and demands signatures from people before they can get their food.
Phoebe’s plan fails, however, when Jayden (and several food delivery workers) catch her. Jayden doesn’t care about her signatures because they may not be legal. Luckily, Jayden learns later that he made the ballot anyway–with barely enough signatures. ..
The episode ends with Phoebe on a date with Hamilton. However, she shoves him and runs away when she sees Jayden on the street.
The Episode Review
In this episode, everything goes wrong for everyone involved, but they all manage to work out a solution. There is no explanation necessary.
It’s been a little while since we’ve seen any of the characters, and it’s been discouraging to note that they haven’t really interacted with each other at all. Phoebe has yet to drop her podcast voice, and the rest of the characters speak with exaggerated intonation and unnatural colloquialisms.
If the show’s unique aspects can’t keep it afloat, it’s not worth watching.
