Recap / Schitts Creek S 2 E 1 Finding David

Go To

The Roses search for their missing son, David, while Alexis takes her relationship with Mutt to the next level despite technically being engaged to Ted.


Tropes in this episode include:

  • "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: If only Alexis had responded to David's text, which she seems completely oblivious to.
  • Expansion Pack Past: This episode starts ramping up the horrific nature of Alexis's teen years.
    Alexis: I wasn't missing; the FBI knew where I was the entire time.

    David: I slept in the cab of a truck for an entire night.
    Alexis: Oh my god, who hasn't, David?
  • Hidden Depths: Mutt mentions that he moisturises his hands.
  • Knight in Sour Armour: Stevie throughout the entire episode is the person who shows the most active concern for David's welfare, before bitterly telling him she hoped he'd never come back.
  • Parental Neglect: Moira constantly screams in this episode...but it's nothing to do with David's exit and everything to do with her missing bag.
  • The Thing That Would Not Leave: Although it's only been three days, David's Drama Queen nature apparently means that the Amish want rid of him immediately.
    David: I don't know if I'm ready to leave.
    Amish Father: And yet you are.
  • Ungrateful Bitch: Alexis and Moira throughout. Alexis doesn't want to go find David because she's tired, and Moira is extremely rude about Stevie's car.
    Is this car your home?
