Almost any TV show, at some point you realize the whole problem is person A not talking to person B and solving the mystery/interpersonal conflict, and that's where TV shows come from. But man, if this whole show just sat down it would be so easy:

"I saw/fucked/became a bizarre creature, that's why I was acting so weird before."
"OMG me too! That's totally why I was acting weird!"
"It was all for nothing. How funny! Once again, communication has saved the day."
