Ep 3. Gerry's Return

Gerry's Return is the third episode of the second season of the popular sci-fi comedy People of Earth. The show revolves around a group of people who have all had encounters with aliens, leading them to join an Alien Abduction Support Group in a small town in upstate New York. In this episode, the group is reeling from the stunning revelation that their leader, Ozzie, is actually an alien himself.

The episode opens with a flashback to Gerry (Luka Jones) being abducted by aliens, which sets up his return to the group. Gerry had disappeared for over a year, leaving everyone in the group worried and wondering what had happened to him. His sudden reappearance creates a mixed reaction among the members of the group, who are both happy to see him back but also suspicious about his absence. Gerry's return is shrouded in mystery, and the episode spends a lot of time exploring the reasons he might have been absent for so long.

As the episode progresses, it becomes clear that Gerry is hiding something. He refuses to explain where he's been or what he's been doing, which only raises more questions among the group. Meanwhile, Ozzie (Wyatt Cenac) is struggling to deal with the fact that he's an alien and is wrestling with the implications of what that means for his life. He's also trying to figure out where he stands with the group now that they know his true identity.

One of the highlights of this episode is the tension between Gerry and Jeff (Ken Hall), who is still angry with Gerry for disappearing for so long. Jeff accuses Gerry of abandoning the group when they needed him the most, and the two of them get into a heated argument. It's clear that their friendship has been strained by Gerry's absence, and it's not clear if they'll ever be able to repair it.

Throughout the episode, there are flashes of a larger mystery that the show is teasing out. There are a number of strange happenings in the town, including an increase in UFO sightings and reports of strange behavior from local residents. The episode hints that there might be something bigger going on than just isolated alien abductions, which raises the stakes for the group and adds an extra layer of tension to the story.

Overall, Gerry's Return is a solid episode of People of Earth that sets up a lot of intriguing plot threads for the rest of the season.
