Plot Synopsis[]
Doc's in a field with a handheld radio, listening to a rather sultry female voice recite Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven." He tracks the signal to its source, a radio antenna smack dab in the middle of a castle-like structure. He enters the surrounding garden, which has been decorated with flamboyant DIY love and care and is infested with zombies. Some of them are impervious to gunfire, as they're covered head to toe in bedazzle bling, making them bulletproof.
The zombies are also somewhat domesticated, as they don't so much try to eat Doc as kind of rough him up a bit. As Doc loses consciousness, he gets a look at the ladies of the house: Sarah, Linda and Camilla, who look like all sorts of delicious crazy trouble.
Doc gets the special treatment as their guest of honor. He wakes up in a lush bedroom atop a quilted blanket, wearing what looks like hand-knitted clothes. The three women attend to his every comfort, even grooming him and putting his shaggy locks into a manbun. There's plenty of succulent stew to eat and sweet dandelion wine to sip.
This is all well and good, but Doc needs to use their radio to try to contact Citizen Z. They allow him to try, but his attempts to get anything out on the air fails miserably. The ladies claim the thing is solar-powered and doesn't always work too well, but a sly camera pan to underneath the table reveals the wires to the microphone are not connected to anything.
Unaware of any possible danger for now, Doc enjoys the company of his hosts as they wait for morning to see if the radio works with the rising sun. Sarah delights in showing off her beautifully decorated macabre scrapbook, showing a picture of her ex-husband with a Columbian necktie slit across his throat. Camilla seduces with a passionate recitation of Edna St. Vincent Millay's "I Will Put Chaos into 14 Lines," accompanied by Linda's skilled organ playing. Obviously a little creeped out at how they are crowding him at every moment, he tries to excuse himself to go to bed and they pull out a pipe with weed in it. He says they're all angels, asks if he's in heaven and if they are sisters of mercy, and they agree to both.
After he smokes some, he heads to the room they gave him, only to be interrupted several times by each of of the ladies. After dismissing each one of them he tries to block the door. However, once he lies down, they all appear in the room and climb on the bed wearing lingerie to seduce him. Doc wakes up the next morning with all three of them in the bed with him. He looks around but is unable to find most of his clothes. He leaves the room, wandering to the kitchen to splash some water on his face. He looks into the sink, only to see what's left of the previous nights stew, with a finger in it.
Suddenly, Doc hears a transmission from Kaya on his portable radio. He runs to the transmitter, hoping that it's now holding a solar charge. Doc gets on the horn and tries to contact Kaya, but soon discovers the disconnected wires under the table. Suddenly, Linda bursts in and attacks, prompting Doc to retreat back to the house.
When Doc takes a closer look around the rooms, he suddenly realizes that Camilla, Linda and Sarah have decorated their abode with human skin, hair and bones. He runs to the basement, trying to get away from them, only to discover several male prisoners tied down. He asks who they are and one of the guys says they're him, 10 minutes from now. The sweet hashish they smoked last night is being grown out of the skull of some poor dude they keep in the basement. There are other prisoners, too, with their flesh and bodies being used to provide the ladies with their raw artistic materials.
After Doc manages to free one of the prisoners, he returns to the living room, where he finds the three women wearing masks made of human skin and wielding some pretty scary-looking weapons. It looks like they want Doc to be their latest art project. Sarah manages to bedazzle his chest once while he's trying to fight them, but luckily the prisoners from the basement show up and attack, allowing Doc to retreat back to the radio tower and lock himself in.
Doc manages to fix the radio and gets in contact with Citizen Z, who's surprised and delighted to be hearing from his old pal. Doc asks CZ to get an emergency message to Roberta: Lucy has been kidnapped by The Man, and he and Addy are in hot pursuit.
Just then, Camilla, Linda and Sarah break down the door to the radio tower, but Doc has managed to scurry up the ladder to the top of the antenna. The ladies figure they'll just sit and wait, having tea while they look on; he'll have to come down eventually, right? Doc takes drastic measures as he kicks the support cable loose and begins rocking the antenna back and forth, eventually causing it to topple and land on the other side of the fence. "Peace out, bitches!" Doc exclaims as falls with the antenna before he takes off running through the field in his pink robe.
Back at the Northern Light Listening Station, Kaya has managed to track The Man's latest cell phone transmission. Now they have his coordinates and Lucy's! All they have to do is get them to Roberta, though so far she's not responding to Citizen Z's calls.
The episode ends with Doc stealing a bike from a zombie and taking off to reunite with Addy, whilst Sarah, Camilla and Linda put some hair from Doc's beard in Sarah's scrapbook to commemorate "the one that got away."
