Ep 4. The Lockout

Abbi and Ilana are back in episode four of Broad City season one, titled "The Lockout." The episode follows the two best friends as they attempt to navigate a series of unexpected obstacles in their daily lives.

When Ilana's roommate Jaime (Arturo Castro) accidentally locks himself in their apartment and can't get out, Ilana and Abbi spring into action to try to rescue him. Their first attempt involves trying to climb up the side of the building to get to the fire escape, but that plan quickly goes awry.

Meanwhile, Abbi has an awkward encounter with her crush, Jeremy (Stephen Schneider), who catches her in a compromising position while she's trying to retrieve a package that was accidentally delivered to his apartment.

As the day wears on, Ilana and Abbi become increasingly frustrated with their inability to access Ilana's apartment and their general lack of success in getting anything done. They end up taking a detour to Abbi's workplace, where she works as a cleaner at a high-end gym.

At the gym, Abbi comes up with a scheme to try to get Jeremy to notice her, but ends up embarrassing herself in front of him and his posh friends. Ilana, meanwhile, discovers a new talent for cleaning toilets, which leads to a surprising job opportunity.

Despite all their setbacks, Ilana and Abbi manage to come together in the end to support each other and persevere through their challenges. "The Lockout" is a funny and relatable episode that perfectly captures the charmingly offbeat humor and dynamic friendship of Broad City.
