Ep 2. Shework and Shit Bucket

Abbi and Ilana return for the second episode of Broad City's fifth season, titled "Shework and Shit Bucket." The episode opens with the two friends struggling to make ends meet - Ilana is working for a temp agency, while Abbi is still cleaning up at Soulstice after quitting her job as a trainer.

After a particularly tough day at work, Ilana hears about a seemingly perfect job opportunity from a temp agency co-worker. The job is for a woman named Diane, who is described as "the queen of self-care" and offers Ilana the chance to be her personal assistant.

Meanwhile, Abbi's desperation for money has led her to an unusual gig - selling her worn underwear online. However, things take a turn for the worse when she realizes just how gross her buyers can be.

As the episode progresses, Ilana's job seems too good to be true - she's given a beautiful office and is tasked with menial errands like picking up fancy coffee and organizing Diane's closet. However, it becomes clear that Diane's self-care routine is less about relaxing and more about avoiding everything she deems "toxic." This includes not only junk food and cigarettes but also all human contact.

Despite the outlandish requests, Ilana sticks with the job, partly because of the impressive salary and partly because she wants to impress a woman she's been flirting with at the office.

Meanwhile, Abbi's job takes a turn for the worse when she's forced to use a "shit bucket" while on a cleaning job. The disgusting experience leads her to quit, but she soon realizes that she's already spent the money she earned from the underwear sales.

Determined to make up for the lost income, Abbi turns to the only other job she's qualified for - cleaning apartments. However, things take an unexpected turn when she runs into Trey, her former boss at Soulstice. The awkward encounter leads to an honest conversation about their past relationship and Abbi's frustration with her current job prospects.

Overall, "Shework and Shit Bucket" is a classic Broad City episode that combines outrageous humor with genuine heart. The episode touches on themes of desperation, self-care, and the struggles of making ends meet in a city as expensive as New York. Fans of the show will not be disappointed by this uproarious and heartfelt episode.
