Well, hello and welcome to Watch What Happens. This is part two of a two-part recap. If you're like, hey, wait a minute, I didn't hear part one. Guys, it's because we put out a lot of recaps. Go back and listen to part one, okay? It's before this one. Bye. Enjoy the show. So now we go to Wittner FaceTiming with Shep. And Wittner's like, hey, having a birthday party Saturday.
The theme is literary figures. So that can be an author or a character. It's basically just a reason to see what stupid shit Craig and Sally come up with. Because you know they don't read.
Yeah. Shep loves this.
He's like, I'm going to dress up like a hundred years of solitude. Gosh.
He's going to show up with like a white bang and be like,
Guys, I'm Susan Sontag.
Just like his head is going to be in a fishbowl.

Chapter 2: What happens at the Southern Charm literary party?
And he's just suggesting that Austin do the same because they're trying to reset where, you know, they have to every season where they're like, we love each other now. And then two episodes later, they're like, I hate you. So Rodrigo's like, yeah, well, I think that Austin might have FOMO. He's like, oh, poor Austin. He can't make a decision for Christ sometimes, can he?
Rodrigo's like, no, man, that's kind of his problem.
He's like, I mean, you know, what did he say? It's a winner. Remember we were at Folly and we just got surfing? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah.
Shep, could you stop doing the flashback music? We'll let post-production do it for us.
Okay, Gar, sorry about that.
So the dad calls and... He's like, hey, I was thinking I could pull right up to the storage unit and start looking at furniture for my new house. And the dad's like, whatever you want to do, we're ready for you, Garsh.
So Shep is like, look, the grass is always greener and I get that. It's just human nature. As Isaac Asimov once wrote, the tree that grows next to the robot is stronger than the robot that's built next to the tree.
Did he say that?
Not sure. But no one else has read it in this group, so I'm going to stick with it. No one can fact check me.

Chapter 3: How does Craig react to his Lost Boy hero not being recognized?
And he's like, my parents were a big factor in me buying this house because my brother bought a big house with his two kids and a wife and my sister did the same thing. So for them, they're the normal trajectory of a guy's life. I'm 10 years behind, maybe 15. Gosh.
The dad's like, I just want to make sure you get some wooden Venetian blinds. Those add value to a house. Do you remember that? I will never forget that when the dad was like, you need to have wooden blinds, Shepard. You need to have them. Very important for resale. And there were like those huge clicky clacky, you know, blinds. They're huge. They go over the windows.
And that was all the dad cared about. He's like, you need to get those blinds, Shep. It's very important.
All right, dad, we'll think it over.
It's been years and that stuck with me. So the chef's like, whoa, Rodrigo, get excited. Biggest swap meet in South Carolina right here, right? So they go into the storage unit and it's just all, you know, God knows where half of this furniture came from, like plantations over all over the South. I mean, I don't know. It's like a lot of very antique, a lot of old shit. Yeah. Very antiquey stuff.
It's all like, probably like great ante. Like if you're antiquing, it's probably all great stuff. But the funny thing is, it's like, is this really going to be, is this chef style?

Chapter 4: What are the dynamics between Austen and his girlfriend?
I mean, I don't know what chef style is, but I feel like it's not necessarily his style, but he's just happy to have items in his house. Yeah. He's just going to throw shit in there.
Yeah. It'll be like banana peels. He just wants like a sectional from Ikea and a surfboard. That's all this guy ever has in his house. So he's just like, Dad, put whatever you want to in there. So they do. They start going through it. And the dad's like, well, that's nice. Those are around floor and garsh. Get those. And then there's like, of course, a big shellacked fish that somebody got.
And then the best part is where we see a pic. We see two paintings, actually, of Shep as a teenager with his golf club over his shoulder just posing like garsh.
and uh they're two side by side and they're exactly the same but they're two years you know they you know they're separate times but i just love that it's like it's it's time ship we got to get out there and get your yearly picture with your golf club over your shoulder well cindy our our young man's turning into an adult man time to get the painting done we gotta get a painting up with a golf club
Yeah. So they go through shit, and Rod's like, oh, my God, I'm the designer, and this is basically amazing. Like, everything in here is basically wonderful. I mean, it's just great. I was like, is it? This is not great. But whatever. They load up on some crap, and... They're done.
I feel like individual pieces. Again, I feel like they're all good antiques and individual pieces are probably great, but I feel like an entire house with that. I just don't feel like matches Shep's aesthetic. It's just basically his parents. It's his parents stuff that they just put in the barn, you know?
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I guess we'll see. The house is beautiful, though. We'll see. So then we go to Daniel Island where Madison and Brett are driving to their new home on a golf cart. Let's see how much Brett's going to talk this time.
I'm going to say 18 words. I'm feeling emotional today because I drove through this neighborhood when I first moved to Charleston. I was like, I'm going to marry some old rich man and I'm going to live out here because I was like, the only way I was going to be able to do that was be if I married a rich guy. But sure enough, I married you.
He's like, yeah, you didn't marry an old rich man.

Chapter 5: How do the characters prepare for the literary party?
Yeah. Yeah. Fallon did Medusa with the snakes in her hair on Atlanta. But didn't Heidi Klum just do that?
Yes. I just feel like when people do Medusa, they really commit to the bit. And I feel like I feel like Vanita did not commit to the bit. I feel like there could have just been a better literary character for her to do, you know?
So everyone else comes in and, you know, drinks and stuff. And Molly comes in dressed as, I think, Gandalf. And it's funny. She's got like a full beard and everything. And so she's hot. And then Shep's like, Lonesome Dove, Captain Gus McRae. Of course he dressed as that one. Of course he dressed as a sloppy, messy one. I loved it.
I was so happy that he brought a Lonesome Dove reference because you had that three months of Lonesome Dove, that you were going through Lonesome Dove. And it was a lot of pages. It was just such a hilarious, like, random, no pun intended, chapter in your life. Like, you found this book that was so big in the 80s. That was a miniseries. It was, like, acclaimed. It was, like, a whole thing.
And it was so random that you sort of, like, were going through this lonesome dove phase. And then the fact that Shep, of all people, is like, I'm referencing lonesome dove. I was like, oh, it's perfect.
I know. It's like, were we reading that at the same time? That's hilarious. But now I'm reading Great Expectations and I've just discovered Miss Havisham. She just came into the book yesterday and I'm dying. That shit is hilarious. Why didn't anybody tell me? I don't even care about the rest of the book. I just want it all to be her. Yeah.
And for those of you who haven't read it, this is her first scene. She's wearing a wedding dress. That's all old. Like she's never changed. Something happened on her wedding day. And so she's really depressed and she's never taken off this wedding dress. Okay.
So it's all yellow.
She's like, This is like years later and she's like super sad and like withering away and just like waiting to rot in her house. And so this kid comes in, she makes this kid come to her house and she goes, do you see this? And she puts her hands over his heart or over her heart. And he goes, your heart? And she goes, broken.
