The Morris Goodkind Bridge spanning the Raritan River from Edison to New Brunswick.

Did you know the Eddie and The Cruisers story and the Soprano episode...

Connecting Edison on the North bank and New Brunswick on the South bank, two bridges tower over a river crossing that was favored by the Raritan Lenape native Americans.  One bridge, a concrete arch structure built in 1929, was not enough.  By the time it had been named the Morris Goodkind Bridge after its designer, traffic was so congested that a second bridge was needed.  Up stepped Goodkind’s son Donald to design a parallel span, which opened in 1974.  In 2004, the new bridge was re-named the Donald Goodkind Bridge.  Where else in the world are you going to find that?

Donald was criticized for his “ordinary” concrete and steel design, but according to his family, he carefully aligned a narrow structure that would permit his father’s work to be seen as clearly as possible from the West and that would be mostly hidden from the East.  The visual preeminence of the original bridge is evidence that Donald tried to pay homage to the 1929 span and avoid any one-upmanship.  His father had  won a medal for excellence in bridge design from the American Society of Civil Engineers for the 1929 bridge.  Morris then became chief bridge engineer for the NJ highway department. The Pulaski Skyway is another of the spans built under his leadership.

150 years before the construction of the first bridge, George Washington celebrated the fourth of July, 1778 while encamped at the river.  In 1834, the opening of the Delaware and Raritan Canal heightened the economic importance of New Brunswick and allowed central NJ access to new markets.

Both bridges have a tragic chapter in American pop culture.  Eddie and the Cruisers star, Eddie Wilson was said to have drowned in the Raritan River when his ’57 Chevy Bel Air crashed through the concrete side rail of the bridge.  In the 11th episode of The Sopranos (spoiler alert) Detective Vin Makazian commits suicide by jumping off of the Donald Goodkind Bridge.

If things keep up, commuters will be back to using one bridge with two lane of traffic in each direction.  The nearly 100 year old span is in deplorable shape.  Not only are the plaques commemorating Goodkind and the Lenape covered in graffiti, but the formed concrete rails are so deteriorated that a vespa could crash through parts of them at 15 mph!  That’s not a nice way to treat such a majestic Art Deco span, is it?

Pulp Storytime #54: Waters of Venice!

Two rich girls versus a floating city of fascists. This was a two-hander adventure between mystic orphan Devika Velyapur and Gertrude Contessa “Trudy” Truman. A rich girl reporter first introduced as Florence's constantly imperiled girlfriend, she and Devi had instant chemistry. (We nearly had three players. A player arrived late with notice, said one sentence in character, then had a family emergency. It was the least gaming I’ve seen out of someone who actually showed up.) April, 1935. Devika was in Venice for a fashion show. The fascist government was trying to whitewash its image, and that meant beautiful foreign models and ridiculous outfits. The Hyderabadi girl ruled the runway in a variety of bird-themed outfits, posing for the cameras and quick-changing behind the curtain. As you’ll see, this adventure had a huge number of outfit changes. On the way back to the hotel, Devi pestered Trudy about an exclusive interview. The Aussie countered that she had already interviewed D after the last adventure, and the girl hadn’t done anything new interesting! Being notable was the cost of appearing in the newspaper. The streets were starting to flood though… Maybe the duo should head to the hotel for a change of clothes? Caccola stopped them in the lobby. Who’s he? Apparently a kid who’d been robbed of a family artifact! Trudy sensed BS though, getting the kid to admit that the “thieves” had stashed it in an active church. “Sounds notable,” offered Devi. (She also said some complicated intellectual stuff, and mean mugged the kid when he made faces at her!) There’s an old saying in journalism: if your mother says she loves you, check it out. Trudy Truman wasn’t going to take the word of a waif, and her initial contacting revealed a few fun facts: *He was a member of the blackshirt kids brigade. *The boy’s name was Italian for booger. * Steel Eagle, the Tibetan spirit of the Bronx, was in the city for a “cultural exchange” but had been tactfully uninvited from all of the events. He and his sidekick (Eddie-Jim Pulaski) were day drinking in a taverna. And they’d be happy to accompany the ladies!

The quartet made their way to the Church of San Zaccaria. Inside were tessellated tiles and amazing frescos. Trudy worked her charm on the priest, who gave the players more info: a leader named Commander Giallo was after them. Inconvenient! Devi sensed the artifact in the basement; the implication of a large donation gave the group privacy in the crypts. The place was half flooded (there’s a reason most places in Venice don’t have basements!), but the group continued. When they extracted the artifact, the room started to flood and the upstairs door locked! The group swam to the stairs, where Steel Eagle used his special “Fordham crowbar strike” to break the door. In the main church, the kindly father was being held at gunpoint by Giallo! They gave over the artifact, no one would get hurt. Sure, Devika could probably warp his mind with her psionic whammy… but that might give the game away. Instead, Trudy used an essential journalism skill… Blathering. First, she didn’t know if she or Devika had the artifact, did anyone know who had it? And second, they might’ve grabbed the wrong thing, could he describe the artifact? When Giallo’s focus was completely gone, Steel Eagle threw him a Bible… Then punched him in the face, caught the Bible, and delivered a spin kick. “Proverbs 13:24!” The group led the priest to safety, throwing coins across the square to cause a traffic jam and deny pursuit. At the hotel (and after another costume change), Devika and Trudy got deep. The kid millionaire opened up about her birth parents, her alienation, her suppressed crush on Penny… they were about to make a breakthrough when Steel Eagle knocked on the door. “Guys in bird masks are watching you.”

Trudy headed to the roof and scanned a full 360° around the city. (+4 base notice and an additional +4 on the dice for a perfect epic result; musta been one one of those Assassin’s Creed style synchronizations.) Not only did she notice every rooftop masquerader… she also saw the one hiding behind the hotel’s chimney. He explained that he was the leader of the Brotherhood of the Wave, the Fratellanza dell'Onda; since the city’s founding, they had kept it safe with the help of an Atlantean artifact. Mussolini’s goons wanted it, and they already had half. Not only did they need the fascist’s piece, but there was a secret word that was printed on the top of the Bible held by the lion on top of a huge pillar in Saint Mark’s Square. Without all three things, massive floods were imminent. The group split up duties: Trudy called in favors to set up a meeting between the local authorities and the “international fascist friendship league.” Devi hired a tour group to make trouble at the far end of the square, giving the Steel Eagle time to climb and study the lion. After dinner, it was time for the final costume change of the adventure! Devi had up uniforms for the entire group, with faux leather accouterments and angular fits. She also gave herself a fake mustache; “no one wants to pick a fight with a dangerous midget.” A bit of blathering and the plan went perfectly! Perfectly except for the part where after cutting the power, the girls discovered that the only escape route was out the balcony window and into the canal. The two left (Miss Velyapur going first, Trudy following and quipping “When in Rome...”). Devi sighed as her mustache floated away. Oddly enough, the two were instant experts at gondoliering, easily escaping their pursuers. They made their way to the secret anti-fascist gondolier clubhouse and got dry clothes (oops, another costume change!), then rendezvoused with the order. Venice was saved. No thanks to Booger.

ED SHEERAN - "EYES CLOSED"

Feelings... nothing more than feelings...

[4.57]

ED SHEERAN - EYES CLOSED [4.57] Feelings... nothing more than feelings...

Ian Mathers: SHOULDA BEEN MOUTH CLOSED, EDDY BOY [3]

Joshua Lu: I would say I admire the sentiment in "Eyes Closed," but I'm not actually sure I do. As a tribute to his late friends, the song nails the melancholy dance vibe, but the song is also mostly about moving on and forcing Ed to go out drinking and (literally) prance forward in life. Any direct references to the subject matter are dispelled through vague lyricism that lets a listener assumer this is just about life after a breakup. A more generous reading would be about how his desire to appear strong in the face of such loss forces him to painfully hide his tears, but that's more generosity than I'm usually willing to afford him. [3]

Hannah Jocelyn: When a pop song has multiple producers, it shouldn't matter if the final product sounds good. Here, it's possible to guess who contributed what sounds: acoustic guitar riffs and muted pianos from Aaron Dessner, 808s and vocoders from Fred Again, "ay-ay-ay" hooks likely from Max Martin/Shellback. I imagine Warner sent the Swedes in when they realized the album was amounting to mockbuster Folklore, but Martin seems like he wasn't sure how to fix it either. It's as if the four dudes (assuming Shellback exists as a person and not a Malignant-esque alternate form of Max Martin) didn't communicate at all, and nobody heard each others' contributions until the mixing stage; that's probably what happened! These are all professionals that sound aimless, and at the center is Sheeran, giving it his all. The lyrics about the banality of grief just wind up as banal as everything else, especially when paired with a melody that sounds like "Everything Is Awesome." [4]

Wayne Weizhen Zhang: Even Aaron Dessner, Fred Again.., Max Martin, and Shellback together cannot prevent this from reeking of the most Ed of Sheeran-isms. [2]

Katherine St Asaph: I dislike and resent the conventional wisdom that pop polish always destroys a song's emotional resonance. I also dislike "The A Team" (which is not unpolished). But "Eyes Closed" would better convey its grief if it sounded more like that, rather than the exact median of adult pop radio from 2012 to now. [4]

Will Adams: In fairness, this often is how grief takes form. A dull, inscrutable ache that makes itself known even though all signs should point to everything is okay and I feel fine. Major key chords, a friendly mid-tempo groove, an ay-ay-ay-ay hook meant to perk up your ears. But you still feel bad. So, conceptually, "Eyes Closed" is brilliant. Sonically, however... still feels bad. [4]

Brad Shoup: There is a shimmy to this, maybe a little shoulder shaking in his bedroom. I'm glad everyone involved agreed to rendering loss with a little propulsion, even if he navigates it so cleanly. It does make me wonder when we're getting a Sheeran musical. [6]

Joshua Minsoo Kim: I appreciate that this sounds delusionally happy, but it moves into a territory that's less "fighting through the pain" than "uncanny CCM radio hit that has no idea what human emotion is." [2]

Alex Clifton: I wish I could be glib and snarky about this song, because something about Ed Sheeran makes me want to be a bit mean. It's not the best song about death I've ever heard -- "Marjorie," "Casimir Pulaski Day," and "Someone Great" are all better-written. "Eyes Closed" is nothing groundbreaking in terms of revelations about grief. But my mum died last October and I still can't figure out how to discuss (or feel) the complexities of grief. I discuss my mum's death with finger guns and irreverence in an absurd laugh-so-you-don't-cry, things-are-kind-of-meaningless way, but naming the alienation, unreality, and bone-deep sadness that comes with grief has eluded me (or maybe I've eluded it to avoid falling down an emotional rabbit hole). A lot of people have said stuff about grief in much smarter, elegant ways than I (and frankly Sheeran) have. Yet there's something simple and honest about "Eyes Closed" that makes it okay to exist with the feeling. You don't have to get too poetic with it. The plaintive way he sings "the truth is now you're gone and life just goes on" got me. It's earnest, and while Sheeran's work occasionally veers too saccharine or sentimental, here the directness hits. It's also the rare song that seems to work well using generalities in the lyrics; it allows you to reflect your experiences onto those lines, letting lots of personal stories exist within the confines of one song. I'm still learning how to live a life without my mum. I suppose I'm also learning how to like Ed Sheeran. One of those things warrants more detailed conversations with my therapist. [7]

Scott Mildenhall: At times it seemed impossible, but this sounds like Ed Sheeran with his guard down. More than an impression of emotion, it feels like expression -- and that's a product, ironically, of uncharacteristically tight construction. "Eyes Closed" is a vignette framed by the bigger picture, its emotional peaks and troughs folding from verse into chorus and back with human precision. The reality is palpable, because for once he has represented it dextrously. [8]

Lauren Gilbert: I resent Aaron Dessner a great deal for being the reason I genuinely like an entire Ed Sheeran album, but at least the singles are still pretty bad. My love for "Dusty" will remain my secret; I'll still groan every time an Ed song comes on at a bar. [4]

Alfred Soto: On social media Jody Rosen castigated the legion of Ed Sheeran, uh, skeptics for ignoring if not dismissing the thatch-haired fool's melodic gifts. Other artists hear them. I do too. It's the conceits that irritate me. If you dance with your eyes closed over plucked guitar, you will bump into a wall if you're lucky, into someone else if not, and if you knock over my beer I'm punching the thatch out of your hair. [3]

Jacob Sujin Kuppermann: This is the most I've ever enjoyed an Ed Sheeran song since that weird moment where he wanted to do songs with PnB Rock and Travis Scott for completely inscrutable reasons. It's a sturdily written song, somehow avoiding falling into the deep wells of mawkish, slightly incoherent sentimentality that his work has always risked. I'm absolutely never going to listen to this after I finish writing this blurb, though. [4]

Nortey Dowuona: I have done a 180 on the Ed Sheeran Is Wack Committee for a few reasons. For one, the reason he sucked was because being a pop star -- like fellow critical punching bag Fucking Drake -- was a curse that drove him to make the worst music of his life yet made him astonishingly rich. Unlike Fucking Drake, he accepted his fate and position. Whenever he pops up on a younger artist's song, like "Peru," he gives them their space and delivers. Whenever he is required to perform, like on Tiny Desk, he does a great job. When he has to wrench out your heartstrings, on "Overpass Graffiti," he does. When he has to joke, like with Sundae Conversations, he ably handles it. He has chosen to enjoy his massive stardom and use it to make complicated art, as well as pop hits. He puts on folks who came up after him and supports them. At every turn, he chose the sincere choice, so I can't hold him in any contempt. (Even the drill remix of "Bad Habits" is actually good!!?) He seems actually know who he is and be fine with it. Tellingly, on this song, he sounds vulnerable and frail, struggling with his grief and despair and accepting it, accepting that since this person changed his life so deeply, he can't just block them out, he can't forget. His eyes can slam closed but he's still seeing his friend. [10]

Tim’s Complicated School History

So I’ve noticed there seems to be a fair bit of confusion on where Tim went to high school, whether he dropped out or not, if he went to private or public school, etc., so I thought I’d create a general chronology of (Pre-Flashpoint) Tim’s tumultuous high school career. The confusion about this is deserved, as Tim has literally gone to no less than FIVE high schools and also homeschooled for a bit, so it’s a LOT to keep track of. Tim has attended both private schools and public schools, and has gone to school in Gotham and Bludhaven (and almost Keystone!), ultimately ending his school days when he dropped out of Gotham City High School during his senior year to go search for Bruce after the events of Final Crisis.

Here’s the breakdown:

Pre-High School: Tim attended private boarding schools until he was about 13-14 years old. To my knowledge these schools are never specifically named, but 13-yr-old Tim mentions in Batman #441 that he attends a boarding school just outside Gotham. In Robin III #4 Tim angrily tells his dad that him and Janet “shipped [Tim] from one boarding school to another and nobody paid any attention as long as [his] grades stayed high.” This seems to imply that Tim attended a number of different boarding schools, when there’s really no reason for him to have attended more than two (an elementary and middle school), and even then a number of private boarding schools are actually K-8 (if not K-12) so I don’t know why he attended so many schools?? Nevertheless, from K-8 Tim attended private boarding schools, primarily in the Gotham area presumably.

Tim was probably still in middle school in his earliest appearances (Batman: A Lonely Place of Dying, Batman: Rite of Passage, etc), but he starts high school right around the time he finishes his Robin training (around the time of the first  Robin miniseries).

High School #1---Gotham Heights High School: The first reference to Tim being in high school comes from the 1991 Robin II miniseries. Tim has recently started at Gotham Heights High School as a ninth grader. This comic takes place after Tim’s parents were kidnapped and poisoned, and so while Jack is in the hospital Bruce is acting as a guardian of sorts for Tim. It’s at Gotham Heights that Tim befriends Sebastian Ives, as well as his friends Hudson and Callie Evans. When Ives asks Tim about the fact that he seems too rich for public school, Tim explains that he used to go to private school but that Bruce had him transferred into public school because he thought it would be “more broadening.” Even after Jack gets out of the hospital he allows Tim to stay at Gotham Heights HS, although Jack clearly has a low opinion of public schools. Tim presumably started at Gotham Heights HS at the beginning of the ninth grade and attended for about a year and a half.

Interlude---Keystone: After the events of Cataclysm, Tim’s family moves to Keystone to avoid the chaos going on in Gotham. (They only end up staying a few weeks at the most, but they moved with the intention of living there permanently, meaning that Tim was transferred out of Gotham Heights HS.) In Robin #63 Jack mentions trying to get Tim into Keystone Academy, but that it’s tough in the middle of the school year and that he was working on getting him a tutor in the interim. Tim was supposed to meet his new tutor the same day that he went back to Gotham to be with Steph while she had her baby. He left without telling his dad, and so Jack and Dana come back to Gotham to get him and they all decide to stay in Gotham after all. It’s unclear if Tim returns to Gotham Heights HS briefly or if he just doesn’t return to school until he’s enrolled at Brentwood.

High School #2---Brentwood Academy: After the events of No Man’s Land, Tim is enrolled in Brentwood Academy, a boarding school in Bristol Township (a wealthy suburb directly to the north of Gotham, where the Drakes and the Waynes both live). After missing so much school, Jack forces Tim to go to a boarding school so that his grades will hopefully come up. (I think the reasoning here is that if Tim lives at school then he’ll have no good excuse for missing class?) In Robin #75 Tim refers to himself as a “new sophomore,” and he transferred to the school some time after sophomore year started (almost definitely after winter break, but I can’t find an issue that confirms this?) but before spring break. Tim’s main friends at Brentwood are his first roommate Ali, his second roommate Wesley, and his classmates Buzz, Kip, and Danny. Tim isn’t at Brentwood for very long though. After only a few months (maybe even less) of Tim being at Brentwood, Jack finds out he’s lost a good portion of the Drake family fortune in bad investments. He’s forced to withdraw Tim from school as he can’t afford the tuition anymore, and the Drakes sell their home in Bristol Township and move into their townhouse in inner-city Gotham.

Interlude---Rest of Sophomore Year: When Tim left Brentwood it was rather late in the year, and it was apparently too late to re-enroll him in public school, so he took the rest of the school year off. That summer he has to take a placement test that will keep him from having to repeat the 10th grade. He passes, so when he re-enters public school he does so as a junior.

High School #3---Louis E. Grieve Memorial High School: Tim starts his junior year at Louis E. Grieve Memorial HS, where he quickly befriends Bernard Dowd and Darla Aquista. He doesn’t attend school here very long, probably for about 3-4 months (he’s only been at Grieve Memorial HS for a few weeks when he’s forced to quit being Robin, Steph takes over for about 2 months, and then it’s only another couple weeks until the events of War Games). During War Games, Tim’s friend Darla is targeted by several mobs (because her father is an Italian mob boss) and mobsters take over his school and end up killing several students, Darla included. Darla’s funeral is one of three that Tim has to attend in as many days, his dad being killed during Identity Crisis and Steph “dying” at the end of War Games.

High School #4---John Wayne High School, Bludhaven: After War Games and Identity Crisis, Tim moves to Bludhaven to try for a fresh start. He picked Bludhaven specifically for an in-patient facility that will help his stepmom, Dana, process her grief over Jack’s death. Tim moves to be close to her and starts attending John Wayne High School. He probably only attends for about two weeks though, before he has his (fake) Uncle Eddie withdraw him from the school to start homeschooling. Tim withdraws with the intention of homeschooling until he can test out of school early. But it isn’t long (maybe another month or so) until Infinite Crisis, and then Tim and Dick go on a nearly year-long training journey with Bruce.

Interlude---OYL: During the missing year* between Infinite Crisis and One Year Later, Tim isn’t in school at all, as he and Dick and Bruce are travelling the world and training. 

(*Also, with the nightmare that is comics continuity and the passage of time, Tim really couldn’t have been gone for more than like,,,,6-8 months, as it was late winter/early spring when Infinite Crisis happened---at least according to the Robin series---and it’s summer when he returns to Gotham. He’s still 17 early in the Red Robin series so it couldn’t have been a year and a half that he was gone, therefore he could only have been gone for like half a year.)

High School #5---Gotham City High School: After the OYL time jump, Tim starts attending Gotham City High School. He starts during the “summer session” (presumably to make up for the semester he missed during OYL?) before his senior year. His main friends here are Zoanne Wilkins (who he starts dating), Jared Walton, Craig Pulaski, and then both Ives and Steph transfer to GCHS during Tim’s senior year (altho Steph is usually a year older than Tim in Pre-52 canon, so it really makes no sense for her to be there??). This is the high school Tim is attending when he drops out of school in his senior year to travel the world looking for Bruce. In Red Robin #17, Tim and Ives meet for lunch (after Bruce has returned and Tim has moved back to Gotham) and Ives mentions Tim not finishing senior year. Tim asks Ives how senior year is going---implying that the events of the first arc of Red Robin only take a few months---and catches up on how Ives and Zoanne are doing.

Some general Tim school stuff: Tim is a very smart kid, but not a very good student. In the Robin III miniseries both Jack and Tim’s school counselor make reference to the fact that before high school Tim had always been a straight A student, but that his grades and attendance have slipped considerably. He is routinely too tired to pay attention in class, he’s constantly missing weeks of school, he fails to complete homework assignments bc of Robin missions, etc. Several times he even references in his inner monologue that he thinks he might fail a specific class. And honestly, Tim just doesn’t care about school. He often makes irritable inner-monologue comments about preferring practical application over learning things in a school setting, he tries to get himself out of school permanently when he lives in Bludhaven, etc. That being said, he’s never been noted to actually fail a class and even with all the school he’s missed he’s never had to be held back, so presumably he’s still earning like Cs in most classes.

Pulp Storytime #52: STUMBLE in the Bronx!

March 17, 1935. We started with Florence and the others at the Edgar Allen Poe cottage in everyone’s favorite borough, the Bronx. They were giving Rupert’s pal J.R.R. Tolkien a tour of NYC, and this was a place of literary significance. Unfortunately, the front door burst open, with two revelers “wanting to see the Raven guy”. Florence politely but firmly sent them on their way, but noticed that the street was full of drunks. But not normal St. Patrick’s Day drunks; ones sloshed, pissed, and thick as a rush-hour subway car. It was time to investigate… But also get lunch. The two Brits (Professor Callahan and Kabir) rolled up their sleeves and began punching their way across the land once colonized by Jonas Bronck. (Two people in the group had lore at +3, so the trivia quotient was high.) It wasn’t long before they reached the relative safely of the Simon’s family deli!

The group strategized over matzoh ball soup and knishes. Penny took some time to let a crushing Devika down easy (“You’re too young, you’re not my type, and since you’re co-owner of Florence’s detective agency, you’re my boss.” “Uhhhhhh…fair…”). Winston and Simon reminisced about simpler times (tracking down and destroying a floating Nazi airbase).

Kabir, the only one on mission, rifled through the newspapers. There were some ads for green beer, but someone had clipped all the coupons on the other side. Luckily, they knew someone who was both an expert in beer and the Bronx…STEEL EAGLE! The players cleverly avoided main streets and the subway, instead heading east and grabbing a boat. (There was a fun subplot here where the very British duo taunted some Irish mariners. One crashed chasing them, and Penny was obligated as a lifeguard to save his life…after sobering up and apologizing, he just stayed by the boat the rest of the adventure.) The fivesome (Everybody and J.R.R.) sailed up the river to Steel Eagle’s haunt, the Yankee [stadium] Tavern. Callahan asked how they would know if Gyatso was in. The prof was answered by a body flying out the front window. The Tibetan spirit of the Bronx and his Polish sidekick Eddie Pulaski were in their element, brawling through waves of boozers. After clearing the floor, the bartender volunteered information: Someone was giving out tons of green beer, for free, and every bar in the city was serving it. Why not? It’s hard not to profit on free! “Well, the reason why not is…” The Oxford debater gestured around the destroyed bar. The players argued about who had the cash to pay for it, while Professor Callahan repaired the phone…and rolled a perfect result. Somehow, he had turned the nickel-taking device into an international radio, able to reach any phone. Following up on the suspicion, Florence called the Midas subsidiary, Crane Pharmaceuticals. The secretary acted extremely suspicious when asked about any breweries, especially the one uptown. Whatta lead! Further up the river, the players smelled the factories before they saw them. Tolkien and the mariner stayed on the boat as the players entered the industrial district. And while breaking in was easy, nobody in the group had any faculty for stealth. They were immediately caught by the evil chemist responsible… Their old rival Célia Nachtnebel! She summoned her security team, and hit a button, sending Florence into a vat of the green beer!

Seeing the torch singer swim out safely, the group was overly tactful and indecisive. The guards responded to this with gunfire. This was a major fight, and the mook squads were a match for the heroes (except for one defeated by Kabir’s words, which sent the security squad into unstoppable infighting). Célia dropped her bon-mots on Penny, infuriating her. “I didn’t know Devika’s coattails reached all the way to the distillery. And you haven’t gotten anywhere without riding them.” Callahan threw some elbows, clearing his way to some massive machinery and sabotaging it. Florence held her own despite a lack of fighting talent; her time as a hobo meant she could take some hits. Célia Nachtnebel fled, with Penny compelled to chase her through a dangerous maze of equipment. The Hawaiian pushed through the door to an outside catwalk… But it was a trap! Below, a janitor sprayed a crowd of rioting locals. Green beer covered the New Yorkers… And Celia tried to hurl Penny down three stories into the fray!

The gambling prodigy managed to keep her balance, and as the two grappled, Penny pleaded with the chemist; didn’t Celia remember her rescue in Montenegro? Unfortunately, whatever gratitude Celia had was boiled away perfecting alcoholic madness! And worse, Penny was being leaned off the edge… “It’s just a shame, An’Te… I wish I was killing the girl.” Elsewhere, Kabir searched for Penny. Obviously he was the leader of the group (Since he had the Order of the British Empire). It would be ridiculous to not take care of all the group members… and he arrived just in time to save Penny from Nachtnebel’s manicured choke! Meanwhile, distillery security noticed all the dials going into the red. They didn’t want to die for a crummy gig… But if Professor Callahan didn’t undo what he did, the entire building would blow up! Outside, Penny scrambled to her feet, and tried to rush away…and was sprayed by the hose man! Only her years of lifeguard training allowed her to grab the catwalk instead of being knocked to her doom! Meanwhile, security, Florence and the Prof struggled to undo his sabotage. With only seconds remaining, they released the steam-tension and drained the toxic beer into the waste tanks. Kabir appealed to Celia’s sense of self-preservation. Surely there was more to life than sabotaging New Yorkers, causing misery? She paused, thinking over his words, then gave him a piece of her mind. Straight onto his dress shirt. Penny blew smoke off her purse pistol. Celia scowled. “What a bitch.” The madwoman took half a step before plummeting to the brickyard below. ——— Back at the deli, the group had dinner and debriefed. Drunk Florence was willing to eat anything. Callahan used his phone hacking skills to call Doc Midas’s private outgoing phone.

Unfortunately, the professor wasn’t a great judge of character. He was bowled over by Midas’s lies (“I never met that woman, this wasn’t authorized, she’s fired… What do you mean dead?! Well, I guess I should donate a few barrels of my all-natural health elixir to the hungover masses…”). Oh well. Time for kugel. Penny gave Devi an overprotective hug. Elsewhere, Jimmy Pulaski comforted Steel Eagle. “I don’t know why they didn’t invite you, boss. Maybe they weren’t going to punch anybody.”
