Ep 7. Sick of It!

Sick of It! showcases the fallouts of Jon's flimsy alter ego's lifestyle, as he scrambles to find an antidote to his rapidly deteriorating health. While "Jon" runs in circles trying to get hold of some quick-fix drugs to shoo off his ailment, his cover artist, David, takes the reins of his life and the episodes, as the reserved, unassuming man begins to assume the role of the leading character.

David takes cues from TV dramas to add some sensational twists to his life, dressing up and attending noisy office parties, following up with exes only to be disappointed, and dabbling in a new business venture- a one-stop wellness shop for holistic remedies.David's transformation intrigues his wife, Susan, as she tries to uncover Jon's real identity and learn the motivation behind his disappearance. Meanwhile, Jon finds himself in a series of silly and dangerous situations, as he slips in and out of consciousness, wrecking his car, and hallucinating about the road signs.

The plot of Sick of It! Is primarily driven by the characterization of Jon and David's contrasting personalities, which add a playful touch to the episode. While Jon is still focused on getting quick fixes to his medical urgency, David, who's now taken over his life, has more subtle goals. He seeks physical fitness through workouts and natural remedies, strengthened familial ties with his wife, and emotional engagement with his one-time lover.

The episode's theme of wellness and healing is portrayed in various forms, as David experiments with therapeutic mediums like acupuncture, herbal remedies, and aromatherapy. The irony lies in contrasting the healing journey with Jon's path, with scenes switching back and forth, emphasizing the ineffectiveness of the "quick-fix," or the surface-level treatment that "Jon" seeks.

An illustration of social anxiety and stress-driven living amplifies the boundaries of the characters, as they find themselves amidst uncomfortable circumstances, struggling to cope with their fears and anxieties. For David, this is shown through exaggerated portrayals of a geeky man finding it hard to fit in with the office crowd. Meanwhile, Jon's inability to communicate his struggles, combined with his fear of being caught, leads him to sulk in quiet corners and avoid human interaction.

The episode's pacing is slow, but it hooks itself into portraying the fragility of human life and the upheavals caused by poor decision-making. It's an insightful look into the pressures of trying to live a double life and the toll it can take on one's physical and mental health. The character interplay is exceptional, and the shows' offbeat humor blends in perfectly, bringing lightness to an otherwise distressing situation.

Overall, Sick of It! is an interesting glimpse into the Delocated universe, offering insights into character transformations and the power of perception. It provokes thoughts on maladaptive behaviors and the importance of seeking holistic remedies to improve life's quality.
