Sister: Why do they keep doing these cut aways to the driver? Is something bad going to happen?
Me (thinking): And here I was wondering why they would show the bus flipping over at the start of the episode…

Sister: Oh no, he did two of the same eyeball.

Sister: Why is Miguel even still in Solitary? All he did was run away. [Omar] killed a bunch of people!
Me: No, he didn’t.
Sister: Didn’t we go over this last week?
Me: Yeah, but he didn’t kill anyone in Oz—
Sister: The guy in the TV!
Me: Oh yeah…

Sister: He looks like he’s going to cry. Sounds like it, too.
Me: He's an emotional guy.

Sister: Pervert…

Sister: Concern.

Sister (sighing): Why are they still on this damn bus? It’s been like four days and they’re still on this bus. What, was he cursed by demons to talk to everyone on here before we can leave this place?

Sister: Wow, 128 megabytes of RAM!

Sister: This guy’s a terrible investigator. You could lay out all the clues in front of him Encyclopedia Brown style and he’d come to the wrong conclusion, go to the end of the book, and say it was wrong. Or he’ll decide he doesn’t care and never flip to the answer in the back.

Sister: Who’s that?
Me (mishearing): Shamrock.
Sister: I said WHO is that?
Me: Liam.
Sister: Who the hell is Liam?

Sister: See? The sun’s setting and they’re still on the road! They've been driving since morning!

Sister: He’s named after the same guy as Gus the mouse from Cinderella…

Stray Thoughts:

• Penis count: 1 (+infinity extras)
• It is revealed Gloria was reprimanded by the state medical board and fined but retained her license

Final Thoughts:

Sister: Called it. Knew something bad was going to happen.
Me: It was literally at the top of the episode.
Sister: I thought it was a different bus. I thought it was someone’s flashback because they are it seem like the truck driver was the bus driver…
[..]
Me: Miguel’s out of Solitary.
Sister: They didn’t show who he’s rooming with, though.
Me: Do you think that's going to come into play?
Sister: Uhh, yeah?
[...]
Me: What are your predictions for season 5?
Sister: I feel like this bus crash will have no impact.
