That lion better be dead by next week: Earth Abides Episode 3

Woah, we are diving in with a four-year time jump.

and Ish hit a mountain lion.

This is unfortunate.

Ish is now a baddo. He was about to shoot it, when he saw someone.

I guess living that “hard life” has hardened Ish.

The person is a child.

Wow, how has she been able to survive all these years?

Why is her face like this?

So many scars, I hope it wasn’t that lion that did that to her.

Excuse me what Ish? You have TWO children already?

Wow, you and Em are BEEEE-ZEEEE.

They’ve also met other survivors.

That is so good to hear.

The lion is gone.

It didn’t die.

Ish offered the girl a place to stay but she refused. So he left.

Never mind, she came back.

But she refused to ride in the front with him. She chose to stay in the back of the truck.

I wonder what kind of adult survivors she has encountered in the six years she has been alone. What kind of monsters were they and what did they do to her?

Heather is a big girl.

The last time I saw her, she still had her umbilical cord attached to her navel.

And she has a little brother, Alex.

Aww. Their family has grown.

Emma is also pregnant.

Ish…

Well done. I see you have been very busy. Only you three children in 5 years. That means Emma has been pregnant almost every year.

A new guy:

and a new woman.

I guess that makes the couple Ish and Emma live with.

The new woman is being abused.

Oh not now, it was from a long time ago.

I bet she was thankful the pandemic wiped her abuser from the surface of the earth.

She and her husband were the ones who saw the sign Emma put up.

I was judging Emma for putting up that sign but she literally saved these people’s lives.

Ish and the new guy are looking for the girl’s people.

The new woman is laying a bed for the new girl to stay but she is curious about the girl’s backpack.

That girl will chew her eyes out once she sees this woman going through her things.

The new man’s name is Jorge.

She has taken her bath – the new girl.

Her name is Evie while the new woman’s name is Maurine.

Wow, Evie’s POS father used to beat her because they lost everything. The man eventually died and Evie’s mother too.

Evie doesn’t talk because of PTSD.

I foresee these two adopting Evie

Father Abraham! Father of many nations, his newest baby has arrived and his name is Joey.

Year 7 and Joey is bigger.

New people

emma, ish, ezra, molly and jean earth abides

and they have a son, Raif.

Of the three new adults, there’s Molly.

The man is Ezra and the second woman is Jean.

Is this a polyamorous thing or is one of these women a sibling to the man?

So Raif is Jean and Ezra’s biological kid while Molly is the stepmom.

They stopped over because of the sign:

and Ish is not happy about that.

I think he is tired of intermingling. He wants his isolation back.

Jean a.k.a Jean Straw used to be a famous musician.

Jean and Ezra have been together since before the pandemic.

They are lucky to still have each other.

Ish is suspicious of them and doesn’t trust them. Neither do I.

Molly said their former group had flu that ravaged their group.

How convenient. So flu killed everyone but somehow the four of you survived.

I wouldn’t trust these three to join us and my reasons are that they are either contagious or they are murderers.

After all, Molly greeted Emma with a gun pointed at Emma’s face.

Ish is tired of that sign.

They’re going to paint over it soon.

Emma is so delulu with her “home for all” mentality.

Ish is a little jelly about Ezra.

Ezra thinks Ish is a dick.

I guess there is no love lost between the two of them.

Look at their little throuple cuddling.

Ezra wonders if Ish would let them stay and Molly thinks Emma runs the show.

Aforestation is happening in the city.

The animal is Roger. That’s the name Ish gave it.

I like Molly, she is a smart cookie. She found all the drugs they would need for a while.

Ish wants to go back to how life was in Years 1 and 2.

Wait, it’s like these two are kissing for the first time.

Does this mean that they were in a sexless marriage all this while?

Ish was right, this woman is an addict.

If she likes her vices so much and has refused to understand the condition they are in, why not go out, find marijuana, plant them and smoke to her damaged endocrine system’s content?

Oh, I was wrong. She wants to use alcohol to induce an abortion because motherhood is hard.
