What this episode covers

In Spelled Backwards, a young boy is given a dog after his mother marries an abusive drunk. In Do the Wrong Thing, Malcolm revisits the "egg piss"/Youtuber segment from last week. In Without Repentance, Trout tousles with her lover after getting ready for work. At work, she signs a release of responsibility that authorizes the killing of 1500 captive children. In Soul Banging, two down and out types bond as they clean houses in a new development for a temporary worker agency. Forty-year-old Daria has been working for the company for decades. Rey/Todd looks like he could be in college. In Keys to Paradise, Mourad decides to immigrate to Vancouver. He doesn't tell anyone. He doesn't know where Canada is on a map. He begins to accumulate "points," starting with finishing translation school. In Baby Shower, Mario shares edits to parts of his sci-fi short, where a man finds a polaroid in his backpack and must decipher its commands and follow them to save his own life.
