Bored to Death Season 2 Episode 3: The Gowanus Canal Has Gonorrhea!
When Jonathan gets held hostage, weed helps George and Ray decide to bust him out magnesium grenades and rubber bullet guns.
Love doctor?: George’s doctor dropped a bombshell on him — stage two prostate cancer — and then drops a clue to something very different. “Are you this nice to all your patients?” he asks.
STELLLLLLA: Jonathan gets dumped for Warren, the elephant-trunk endowed ex-boyfriend that Stella wanted to have a poly-amorous relationship with. That’s not even the worst part of his night — two thugs (including Domenick Lombardozzi of The Wire) throw him in a Zipcar, hang him upside down over the Gowanus Canal, and then tie him up as a hostage in cement factory.
Hostage situation: The thugs are looking for the hard drive destroyed by Jonathan during the S&M raid a couple episodes ago. When they discover that they’re out of luck, they try to make the most of the situation by holding Jonathan hostage and beating him (charlie-horses, mainly) into calling a rich friend for money.
