Tread Perilously's Cornucopia of Sci-Fi continues with an episode of Resident Alien called 'Girls' Night.'
While Harry continues to work on the interstellar radio, Asta, D'Arcy, Kate, and Liv get a "GN59" text from Kayla and immediately plan a girls' night at the bar. Kate brings her cousin, Carlyn, while the mayor frets about Kate and D'Arcy becoming better friends. As the evening wears on, Liv reveals she hasn't had a raise in 17 years, prompting the other women to learn the town budget and, perhaps, fight for some equality. Will it go well for them? And will Carlyn end up part of Harry's plan for the radio?
Justin and Erik learn more about Kate and the mayor's sex life than they expected. Justin faces Resident Alien for the first time while Erik remembers why he likes the show. Guest star Alex Borstein proves a good addition to a strong core ensemble. Erik points out the program's "great Syfy show" quality. Australia gets blamed for wrecking the "hotness quotient." Justin brings Rena Sofer into the conversation. Volvos remain a dependable automobile. The night still belongs to ABBA. Morissey ends up in the hot seat (again) and a carve-out for the Bechdel Test is proposed.
