Gemma and Ruth, they craft a statement together that Gemma said. Okay, that's smart. So first Gemma texts a photo of the cockroach carcasses to the chat just to be like, we're not making anything up. Here's the evidence. Yeah, absolutely. And then she's like, hey guys, we seem to have a pest problem. Ruth and I killed as many as possible, but I think we should all be on high alert going forward.

And then she's like, we stored everything in the fridge and wiped everything down. But unfortunately, the stew had to go. Before finally being like, and let's all be extra careful with our food storage from now on. Do you think this is an adequate response?

Duncan sends a thumbs up. Darcy just doesn't respond. Darcy. And two days later, the stew is reborn. Along with the piles of carrot and potato peels on the counter, the new stew is referred to as chewy.

Three days after Tui's resurrection, the cockroaches also returned. Of course. Gemma continues to send texts that start with, hey guys, but nothing changes. After a few weeks of this, Gemma is like, I'm tired of this. I'm just going to take things into my own hands. She's tired of turning on the kitchen light to see roaches scattering.

She's tired of the smell of vegetables composting in the open air. She's tired of the kitchen being too scary to cook in. So on one of her rare free days, Gemma spends four hours cleaning the kitchen from top to bottom, throwing away all the forgotten heads of lettuce and shriveled up old mushrooms. She plugs any holes she can find with steel wool and spray foam.

And then finally, she calls in the big guns. She spends a third of her savings and calls in pest control.

In New York, at least. No, I know. I know. I had mice in an apartment and I... Useless. Useless. Expensive and useless.

It really, yeah, no, I see. I, yeah, same, same.

Yeah, the exterminator lays down some like special gel shit that apparently deters cockroaches. And the pest control guy tells Gemma that the special gel needs to be left on for about 12 hours before being cleaned up. Gemma's like, okay, cool, easy. She texts the group chat like, I paid for an exterminator for the roaches, please avoid the kitchen for the next 12 hours.

And she explains everything about the special gel. Ruth responds immediately like, OMG, thank you so much. And then Venmo's Gemma $50.

We love Ruth in this house. Once again, Duncan thumbs up. Okay. Once again, Darcy doesn't respond.
