Recap / Letterkenny S 02 E 05 Uncle Eddies Trust

Go To

"You ran out of beers with your pals the other day…"

The Hicks minus Daryl are discussing Wayne's habit of drinking 90% of a Puppers and tipping out the rest, when they start talking about how Katy dislikes the phrase 'to be fair'. Wayne explains that the bottom 10% of a beer is mostly spit, and for all he knows, bugs could have crawled in there and died. Daryl turns up and announces that they're all out of beer, and everyone's sad. Katy complains that the liquor store's closed, and Dan and Wayne lament the loss of MoDean's. Daryl has some bottles with him, but they're from the Hicks' christmas potluck- creme de menthe, blue curaçao, and butter-ripple schnapps, while Daryl has a warm Puppers he found in a golf bag. Everyone tries their drinks, and only Daryl's OK with it, and we get the credits.

Cut to the kitchen. Katy's on the phone, and when she hangs up, she tells Wayne that their Uncle Eddie has died. Uncle Eddie was Letterkenny's longest-running mayor, but he was living in Fort Lauderdale for the past few years. He left Wayne and Katy $5000 in the will, and while Wayne wants to have a party, Katy clarifies that Uncle Eddie wanted them to put it to good use in the community, and trusted them to know where it would be best used. The siblings decide to put it on their Facebook and let everyone know. Almost a minute later, people start showing up.

At the barn, Wayne and Katy are hearing the pitches of the locals and accepting or rejecting them. Bonnie McMurray's serving as their narrator, even though nobody asked her to. First up are the Skids, but before they can make their pitch, Katy starts asking Stewart about his dick. Stewart is embarrassed, but Devon and Roald each tell their own story about how they've seen Stewart's dick, and how it's huge. Katy is predictably dismayed, and we finally get to their pitch. The Skids want to help people in the community get sober, and Katy says that Uncle Eddie got sober for his 90th birthday, though Wayne wonders what the point is when you're that old.

The Skids' pitch is a riff on Intervention- they want to get local disasters in a room with their friends, family and some cameras, and they'll be told to stop being disasters. Roald and Devon have prepared a demonstration on Stewart, who isn't very happy about it. Katy and Wayne say no, because A, the pitch was awful, and B, Uncle Eddie always said that if someone needs help, they'll ask, they won't need to be told.

Next up is Reilly, Jonesy, Tyson and Joint Boy, who want to help out the kids of Letterkenny. Katy says that Uncle Eddie loved kids, which Wayne sourly says was his only shortcoming. The guys want to help out the kids of Letterkenny by putting them in a house and training them to see who the toughest kid in Letterkenny is, in a riff on The Ultimate Fighter. Wayne and Katy say no, because it's a terrible idea.

Next up is Gail, who wants to help people find love, and Katy says that Uncle Eddie was a notorious matchmaker. Gail's pitch is basically The Bachelor, but with Wayne as the Bachelor; he's fine with it until the bit where he gets to meet the girls' families, sleep with the girls, and everyone knows about this and is fine with it. Katy's fine with a version where she's the Bachelorette, but Wayne declares that they're both out.

Next up are the McMurrays and Jim Dickens. They want to help the community by helping people get rich, and Katy says that Uncle Eddie used to buy lottery tickets for the seniors at the seniors' home every week. Their pitch is a local version of Storage Wars, complete with a demonstration, but Wayne and Katy are out for the obvious reason- nobody around Letterkenny puts anything valuable in their lockers, so there's no point.

Next up is Glen and three choir boys. He wants to spread the message of Christ through song, and Katy rebuts that Uncle Eddie was an atheist. Glen wants to take the boys to LA to appear on America's Got Talent, make them famous and inspire boys in Letterkenny to sing. He gives them a demonstration, but Wayne and Katy are not on board.

Finally, there's Daryl and Squirrelly Dan, and Wayne's surprised, saying that they could just ask him if they needed money. They want to help the community by making new jobs, and Wayne and Katy think Uncle Eddie would have been on board. Dan and Daryl want to open a factory that makes duck calls, and when they're not making duck calls, they'll shoot guns and blow up beaver dams, a la Duck Dynasty. Wayne's on board, but Dan and Daryl then add that once they've become famous, they'll use their influence to condemn homosexuals and pray. Katy asks why- neither of them have any problem with homosexuals, so why would they condemn them? Daryl says that they saw it on the news and it worked for those guys, but Wayne and Katy are out.

With all the pitches having failed, the Hicks are stymied for what to do next- they want to get drunk, but the liquor store's closed and there's no MoDean's. However, Katy calls back to Wayne's first suggestion, and says that they should have a party.

Cut to the produce stand, where Wayne and Katy are having that party, having invited everyone who pitched an idea and Bonnie. Katy gives a toast to Uncle Eddie, and the episode ends with an overlay saying that Letterkenny never needed a bar again... only for Daryl to say that they're out of beer, much to everyone's chagrin.
