Most shows treat the two generations as interchangeable. An exchange between Selena Gomez and guest-star Zoe Colletti drives home the fact that they are not.
This week’s episode was no exception. The gang is currently waist-deep in being framed for their building president’s murder and podcasting about it every step of the way. On top of it all, seemingly out of nowhere, Charles’ former almost-stepdaughter Lucy—a very hip teenager—shows up, and is surprisingly incredibly helpful, revealing secret passageways concealed within the heart of the Arconia that you’d think three, bonafide, adult detectives would have been able to uncover themselves.
But my favorite moment of the episode was one particular exchange between Gomez’s Mabel and guest-star Zoe Colletti as Lucy.’ most recurring joke is that Mabel, in her late 20s, and Charles and Oliver , in their 70s and 60s, respectively, struggle to understand each other due to the generational divides. Throughout the first season, both men sign their texts to Mabel, puzzle about why Mabel and her kind dislike phone calls, and oft misunderstand her use of slang. With Mabel and Lucy, the show flips the script on this running bit: Now, it’s millennials who are out of touchLucy is immediately delighted to meet Mabel, who is unknowingly a TikTok sensation called “Bloody Mabel” in reference to the string of murders and deaths she always finds herself engulfed in.
Lucy continues, speaking at approximately 3x speed to a visibly confused Mabel, “This TikToker made this whole timeline of your life, then cross-references the various deaths, murders, etc, with the DSM-5. You are so lucky. It’s probably so easy to get, like, xannies and klonopin and stuff. I prayed to the 100 Gecs tree to get a real diagnosis, but my mom, she, like, hates big pharma.”
