SurrealEstate Season 2 Episode 2 Truth In Advertising Review And Recap- Her Name Wasn’t Rio And Hunka Chunka Is A Reflex

SurrealEstate Season 2 Episode 2 takes aim at the gaggle of ghosthunters littering the airwaves. A comedic episode is an interlude for a brewing storm. Trouble is coming to the Roman Agency, and things will have to change. Susan is teetering on the brink, and Luke’s behavior is ruining everything. However, before that unpleasantness was an interlude of fun and a potential new ally.

Spirit Stalkers, starring Kit Rampart, is like every other paranormal investigation show out there. A dramatic frontman who whispers and growls his way through scenes and a producer who uses every trick in her book to keep the show going and the money rolling in. Ironically, Luke Roman feels as much like an imposter as Kit is now that he can’t communicate with the dead. His insecurity is driving a wedge in the agency, and it won’t be long before things come to a head.

The Wesford house has been on the market for months with the Roman Agency, and it hasn’t sold because the legend of Grace Wesford is running everyone off. In desperation, the current homeowner has brought in the Spirit Stalkers to either exorcise the ghost or create buzz around the property. Kit Rampart may not be able to communicate with the dead reliably, but he is channeling White Goodman from Dodgeball. I half expected him to yell, ” No one makes me bleed my own blood.” Instead, he has a host of other ridiculous comments that, although hilarious, annoyed Luke, who struggles to find anything funny about life anymore.

Luke’s fragility continues to be a problem in the agency and the series in SurrealEstate Season 2 Episode 2. Tim Rozon(Luke) is at his best when he is confident enough to be secure in his masculinity and willing to be vulnerable. Right now, Luke is a pouty, petulant man-child who undermines Susan at every turn and tilts at windmills because he has a chip on his shoulder and something to prove. The two leaders of the agency don’t see eye to eye, and his need to assert his authority over everything, including Susan’s clients, is creating cracks in the group and sending Susan right into a potential monster house.

When Zooey gave Susan a message about Susan’s clients, the group split up. Augie and Susan go to investigate screaming ghosts disturbing a Bed and Breakfast while Luke and later Zooey stick with the Wesford’s house. Thank God for the rest of the group, an eclectic crew of brilliant oddballs. Augie’s never-ending talents and interests make him the most quirky and endearing character on any show right now. At the same time, Zooey holds her own, showcasing depth and complexity beyond her years. These snippets of uniqueness keep things going while Luke is having his nowhere-near-death crisis.

Kit with the Spirit Stalkers is more than he appears to be. He doesn’t have the agency’s gifts or their sense of responsibility, but he does have latent abilities. He has seen things in the past and initially started his show to allow others into his world. Over time, greed and networks bastardized his work, making him the hoax he is today. He longs to be honest again, though. He is less an imposter than he is ignorantly confident.

Kit may be an idiot, but his poor but sometimes accurate sixth sense is another thorn in Luke’s side. They measure psychokinetic dicks in a surprisingly funny scene. They both lament their loss. Kit still has the sense but can’t use it because the film schedule demands results immediately, and Luke can’t speak to the dead anymore and desperately needs to feel needed again. These two have more in common than they think.

At the Bed and Breakfast, the screaming is destroying their business. Understandably, vacationers looking for peace and quiet don’t like loud interruptions. When Susan and Augie investigate, they determine the screams aren’t wails of pain or anger. Instead, they are cries of ecstasy. A pair of star-crossed lovers lived there and were separated by death when the man died at sea. Night after night, his love waited for her man, who was never coming home. Now, they have found their way back to each other and reunite to partake in some hunka chunka. Everyone knows that vacation sex is best, and Susan and Augie convince the homeowners to use the loving ghosts to curate a bespoke haunted experience that travelers yearn for. Luckily, they know a great television host who can get their B & B the publicity it needs.

The ghost, who was a terrifying hag with a wide mouth of razor-sharp teeth, stringy hair, and clawed narrow hands, is really a pitiful young woman tormented and abused by the townsfolk. Luke managed to help poor Grace Wesford reclaim her legacy while Zooey distracted the camera crew. The ghost haunting the Wesford House was a grieving daughter who, through a series of misunderstood and unfortunate events, was made a monster. A lullaby sung to a loving daughter was turned against, condemning her to decades of haunting. Luke was able to sing the real lullaby to her and turn her back into a young woman who dropped her father’s watch into his grave and moved on.

Home is where the heart is. For some, it is comfort and a source of joy and happiness. For others, it is a prison. Augie found a place to raise a family and some of the happiest times of his life. Susan believes in the power of home. She thinks the right house will speak to the right person. She believes inks she has found that home in her seaside house. Something isn’t right with the too-eager AI that grants her every wish. SurrealEstate Season 2 Episode 2 is holding back on what she really found. It remains to be seen if that home will be heaven or hell. The Roman Agency used to be a home with a newfound family. Before the season is over, I predict she will desperately need those who love her.
