Creature performer Bart Bower recently shared a surprisingly detailed explanation – captured in a TikTok video by The Radio Hagg – of the challenges of staying hydrated and using the restroom while completely covered in latex and prosthetic makeup.

Let’s rewind and cover what happened. The story begins with Abbott and his team finding thousands of dollars hidden in the seats of a private jet. It’s December 2019, and Abbott immediately goes from the plane to a party at Nina’s gallery to arrest the jet’s owner, Pedro Dominguez. Dominguez is a Miami real estate developer who launders money for a cartel, and he’s the one who provided the last $100 million needed to help the Jarvises resolve their financial problems. Seeing a picture of Nile in his colleague’s office, Abbott recalls arresting someone at that same gallery – this was the night he was remembering. However, everyone originally thought Abbott crashed the party to arrest Nile, not Dominguez. Madison, the gallery owner, is furious and even throws her champagne glass at Abbott. Her anger isn’t just from the public embarrassment; she’s in the middle of an art show and is also using cocaine.

To cope with this difficult time and maintain her sense of self, Carol demands a fabricated reality.

The intimate experiences she and Helen shared are now public knowledge, and the Others believe they can use this information to create a version of Helen that will comfort Carol.

The villain in “Bunker Down” is a pathetic, wealthy tech entrepreneur. Tony Hale plays Craig Hollis as a deeply unlikeable and privileged man who has shut himself off from the outside world – specifically, the perceived dangers of the Upper East Side and protests against the wealthy. He uses advanced technology to try and calm his growing paranoia. Craig’s intense dislike and distrust of others are so strong that Lieutenant Connor, a character I’ve come to appreciate, even sharply criticizes him for using his intelligence for pointless and harmful goals.
