S03E03 - Time Capsule

Live from Pawnee: A Parks and Recreation Fan Rewatch Podcast

This week, Mark and Allen break down the Episode that introduces the infamous JJ's Diner special, the "Four Horse-Meals of the Egg-Pork-alypse"! Leslie is organizing a time capsule filled with items representing the spirit of Pawnee. Citizen Kelly Larson visits Leslie to plead his case for the Twilight books to go in the time capsule. Leslie says no, and in response Kelly handcuffs himself to a pipe in her office, clearly planned in advance. Tom is sad because he got dumped by Lucy (even though he doesn't know why), which Kelly notices. Kelly says Tom will feel better if he reads Twilight, which he initially scoffs at, but is willing to give it a try. Leslie eventually notices the name "Liz Waverly" in one of Kelly's Twilight books, does research, and confronts Kelly with her conclusion that Liz... is his daughter! Meanwhile... Andy is still pining for April, who is dating the charming and handsome Eduardo. Having recently bonded a bit with Andy over some shoe-shining sessions (making Ann nervous), Chris wants to help Andy. Chris suggests Andy tap into aspects of his personality April initially liked, but Andy can only come up with "I'm nice" and "I'm in a band". A bit later, Andy sees Eduardo by himself, and decides to take the high road, apologizing to him about being a jerk, and promising to be nice from now on. As always, your brave podcast hosts tackle the hard-hitting questions, like ... Is Liz truly Kelly's daughter? Does Eduardo accept Andy's apology? Will Tom enjoy the Twilight books? Can Ann ever stop being nervous about Chris and Andy hanging out? How does Kelly go to the bathroom if he's handcuffed? Does Tom ever find out why Lucy dumped him? Will Twilight get included in the time capsule? Is friendship possible between Andy and Eduardo? Folks, you'll be sorry if you miss this one - be sure to tune in!
