‘Blunt Talk’ recap episode 202: ‘If It Comes in a Plastic Bag, Don’t Eat It’

Last week on Blunt Talk, Walter discovered the love of his life was back in town. This week, we find out Cornelia’s real motives for returning.

Jim is on the toilet getting ready for his colonoscopy. He regales Celia with tales of procedures gone wrong. He’s terrified. Celia comforts him by telling him she’ll be there to interview him and make sure nothing goes wrong. Jim tells her he loves her. Was it too soon?

Walter is upset that he hasn’t heard from Cornelia in two days. Sylvia tells him he needs to give her some space and let her come to him like a cat.

Martin compliments Shelly at the office. He tells her he’s been thinking of her breast exam all weekend. Could something happen between these two? An envelope arrives for Martin from India. It’s a porno version of Blunt Talk. Shelly’s excited.

Walter rides the bus and sees Herschel. He accuses Walter of not being there as his sex and love addiction sponsor. Walter says he never agreed to that, but asks him how he is. Herschel has relapsed on all his addictions and is homeless. Walter feels guilty. Is he going to take Herschel in?

Walter’s staff watch the “Blunt Cock” porno when Walter walks in with Harry and Herschel. Rosalie tells him that Ronnie made the film. It’s not on the internet and is only available in one city in India. Walter wants the lawyers to shut it down. He finds it humiliating.

Rosalie tells Walter that the interview with Mr. Adler is scheduled for Wednesday. Walter gets a telegram from Cornelia to meet her at a lake at the park. He leaves immediately saying he’ll be back in an hour. The rest of the staff finishes watching the movie.

Walter and Cornelia go out in paddle boats with Harry paddling along behind to attend to them. Cornelia tells Walter that her phone and emails have been compromised. She thinks she’s being followed. She was working with a man investigating climate change. He discovered something corrupt about LA’s water and was suddenly found dead. She fears she’s next. As Walter and Cornelia paddle off to shore, the man who’s been following her bumps his boat into Harry.

Celia tells Rosalie she’s worried because Jim thinks he loves her. She’s full of ugly secrets. Rosalie tells her that’s normal. Will Celia break up with Jim or does she love him too?

Herschel knocks on Jim’s door. He offers Jim a Valium for his nerves. When Celia bursts in, Herschel accidentally throws a mescaline into Jim’s throat. This can’t be good.

Walter enters his office with Cornelia to find Herschel watching “Blunt Cock.” He kicks Herschel out and offers Cornelia a drink. After the broadcast, he’ll help her figure out what to do about her dangerous situation.

At Jim’s colonoscopy, the doctor tells him he’s clenching. Jim is high as a kite and says everything feels amazing. Celia asks him if he’s all right. She and Shelly cheer him on and the doctor is finally able to get in.

Walter feels like he’s not a real journalist anymore. He thinks Cornelia will think him a fool. Rosalie tells him that’s silly.

Walter introduces Celia and Jim to his viewers. The doctor walks him through the procedure while Jim hallucinates little Jims scrubbing his colon. They’re good bacteria. They tell him that Celia’s the one. Jim tries to propose. Celia is terribly upset that he did it on air and storms off. The doctor finds a polyp.

Walter is afraid the episode was a joke. Rosalie says it raised awareness. He’s also upset about Ronnie’s porno. Rosalie assures him that legal is taking care of it and the actor that played him is very well hung. This calms him a bit.

Herschel tells Walter he heard Cornelia on the phone saying she was meeting a source at the old train depot. Walter sets off to find her but doesn’t have much luck. She won’t pick up her phone. Harry discovers her scarf on an old train. Walter calls out for her.

Celia watches the broadcast on repeat and drinks her sorrows away. Jim sees his bacteria again and they say they never told him to propose. He cries. Is this the end of their relationship?
