Jonesie points out that it is Stephen Schneider’s (Dan Beirne) favorite. They take advantage of there being no adult supervision or rules. After a bit of hell-raising, they return to the lab to find what they believe is Schneider’s skeleton. They find a pile of carcasses in the basement. Davey freaks out. Boasting her expert survivalist knowledge, Jonesie assures her that it will be okay. They find a line created with red paint running down the center of the hallway. It leads to a metal garbage can, a burner, a makeshift bed, and a diary. After reading a few pages of the diary, they discover they turned to cannibalism to survive.

Schneider 6689 arrives at Universe 505. Holding up his remote, he asks if they are ready to go home as the episode ends.

Davey & Jonesie’s Locker Review

The episode starts out pretty bad but improves as the story progresses. Jonesie and Davey face one of their biggest challenges yet in Universe 505. On the verge of killing each other, their strong friendship helps them come to their senses.

The script appears to be a compilation of bits and pieces from other sources. On a good note, there is just enough to make the story somewhat unique. The dancing and singing is nearly intolerable. Schneider balances out the story to make it less obnoxious.

The episode deserves a 4.5 out of 10. Get more Davey & Jonesie’s Locker recaps here. Support Reel Mockery by donating. Learn how advertising with us can help build your brand awareness. Join our newly established forum to discuss the show and other TV series.
