The Watchers

"And when I'm back in Chicago, I feel it." Wherein "it" refers to: the full-body haunting of home, the burden of being needed, the myth of control, and what it means to understand the difference between leaving and running.
Before the final season of The Bear, we wanted to do a quick, non-exhaustive reset. Jodie and Andrea recap where everyone started, where season 4 left them, and what we’re expecting/hoping for in season 5.

It’s the end of tourist season on Widow’s Bay, so for now The Watchers are packing up, saying goodbye to our new island pals, and breaking down the season finale, “We Hope You Enjoyed Your Time!” We're talking Ruth’s whole deal, Tom’s variously questionable choices, Evan’s place in the Warren line, and a return to Andrea’s favorite segment, Hatch Watch. Plus, an important reminder: older women know everything.
Next week, we’re heading back into the kitchen for the final season of The Bear and checking in on Carmy, Sydney, Richie, and the rest of our beautiful, stressed-out friends.

This week, The Watchers are hunkering down for the penultimate episode of Widow’s Bay, "Emergency Shelter." Jodie and Andrea talk storm shelter, Rosemary’s tastefully titillating genealogy presentation, Tom’s wrestling match with the island's ancestry, Dale in doorways, and all the weird time stuff we’re tracking before the finale. Also: Nor’easters, shit-talking Martha’s Vineyard, and the new game that's sweeping the nation: “Dead Baby, Dead Baby Lesbian.”

Widow's Bay gets the Haddonfield treatment (Jersey? Illinois? Yes.) as Jodie and Andrea review the show's slasher turn, "Your Baggage." We talk Wyck playing third wheel, Patricia becoming the Final Girl she was always meant to be, and the way a simple "GO SOX" is the key to any good New England boy’s heart.

The Watchers are still happily docked at Widow’s Bay for Episodes 6 and 7, "Our History" and "Seasickness." Jodie and Andrea get into the island's haunted history, Puritan curses, Jaws references, and why the Glen Rock would absolutely destroy Plymouth Rock in a fight.
