Chomp

Content Warning: This section of the guide contains descriptions of gun violence.

Wahoo returns to his campsite and asks if Tuna has considered going to the police. She evades the question, but he continues to probe, asking when her mother—who is currently in Chicago—will be coming back. Tuna soon grows tired of the questions and turns in for the night. When Wahoo hears groans coming from Mickey’s tent, he wakes his father from a nightmare. They discuss Tuna’s situation and consider whether to notify the authorities, but Tuna is listening to their conversation. Just then, several piercing screams shatter the night.

In the production camp, the team quickly sets up lights and cameras to film Badger with the bat. The bright lights and commotion confuse the animal, and when Badger attempts to eat it alive, it attacks his face. Mickey is summoned to the scene, and he gently prods the bat’s belly until it detaches from Badger’s tongue and flies away. Badger is carried to his tent, and Mickey, Wahoo, and Tuna head back to their camp.

The next morning, Wahoo wakes to find his father gone. He assumes that the episode will be cancelled due to Badger’s injury. He offers to let Tuna stay with them until her mother returns, but she refuses.
