Bee Mine

Give us the facts, Jim Dale! Kentucky Fitz, wife of Dusty, the new client, was the new head bee girl for Betty's Bees ("trademark," JD adds). She was a mere 26 years, blah blah days/minutes old when she was found stung to death behind the wheel of her beemobile. Scary, but not as scary as what we see next when the gang visits our beloved coroner at his place of biz to get the scoop from Kentucky. He leads them to the two dead bodies he currently has in residence. "Which one is Kentucky Fitz?" Ned asks. Coroner: "Biscuits." Noting their confusion he points out that one body is lying heels-up ("you got biscuits"), distinguishing it from its toes-up ("you got shrimps") neighbor. I wish there a way to describe how funny the coroner is... the guy is just incredible. Emerson is frustrated that their dead chick is face down and asks for something to flip her over with. "Why you gotta flip her over?" the coroner asks with unlimited sarcasm as he raises his hand for his weekly bribe. "It ain't like you gon' be havin' a conversation."

Ah, but as we know, that's exactly what they'll be having and as soon as he leaves, Chuck pulls back the sheet to reveal a very swollen dead lady, covered with many, many nasty bee stings. Ned gives her a touch on the biscuit. Don't bother being grossed out by that, for it will soon get so much grosser. For whatever reason, Kentucky has a Kentucky accent, which would be annoying if it weren't so funny to hear her snark out a "Realleh?" as Ned accidentally ogles her naked, stung body while she rolls over. She explains that no, she wasn't cheating on Dusty, but that she maybe was up to some mischief the night she died. In fact, she admits, she was sabotaging Betty's Bees. "Betty had it coming," she seethes, and says that while she was working on the sabotage, all the lights went out and out of the darkness a terrible creature came upon her, spit something at her, and swarmed her with bees. "That's terrifying," Ned whispers, frozen in place. "THAT'S TERRIFYING," he adds, just for good measure. Given the five-second warning by Ned, Emerson and Chuck concurrently hit Kentucky with their final questions. Emerson asks how she doing her sabotaging while Chuck, ever the goody-goody, wants to know her last wishes. To Emerson's great frustration, Kentucky answers Chuck first, saying her only concern is that Dusty not have to be alone. "Yeah, yeah," Emerson cuts in, "how'd you sabotage Betty's Bees?" Fixing him with her bee-stung eyes, Kentucky snaps that she did it "with a lotta might," and is prevented from saying more by Ned's just-in-time rekilling jab. Emerson is overcome with snark: "We don't know what she was doin'," he says, "but we know that it took a lotta effort." No one has time to respond, however, as a strange buzzing sound can be heard from Kentucky's body. "She still breathing?" Emerson asks, jumping back in alarm. Chuck looks horrified to report that "that's not breathing." OH, NO. INDEED IT IS NOT. Guaranteeing that I will never close my eyes in peace again, we find to our horror that the buzzing sound is, in fact, the newly awakened swarm of bees INSIDE KENTUCKY'S BODY which are NOW FLYING out of her MOUTH. Good loooooooooooord, it is horrible. The team escapes the morgue to find the coroner at his desk, regarding them coolly: "I told you not to turn her over."
