When Davonte makes fun of him for being a “hugger,” Luis challenges him to meet at sunset–Davonte with his boys, and Luis with his own.

Percy and Julio accompany Luis on his quest to track down his boys. They first pay a visit to Luis’ number 1: Fatass. But it turns out that Fatass died in a car crash. Luis is discouraged, but still wants to fight.

He next asks Cuete, but he can’t either, due to an injury. He does lend them his tap-dancing 12-year-old son, however. The kid is extremely enthusiastic about the scenario playing out like West Side Story.

Despite the two losses and the fact that constant acid reflux and joint pain is reminding Luis that he’s gotten old, he still wants to press on.

The gang members keep trying to pick up other gang members, but they all refuse. Well, except for Cyco, from whom they run away for being too trigger-happy.

Julio and Percy decide to bring Luis back to Hugs Not Thugs, but they are interrupted by Luis’s fall asleep. Julio and Percy leave him there, and Luis falls into a deep sleep.

Luis can’t believe they went behind his back. Even more, he can’t believe all his boys have abandoned him. Julio insists he’s his boy, but Luis says he’s too scared to throw a punch. At this, Julio punches him. He insists they will go fight. They will probably get beat up, but he’s with his cousin.

When they show up to fight, it’s just Luis, Julio, and a 12-year-old boy. They’re fighting an old man and a small dog.

Luis and Davonte both realize that they have each had friends die- Fatass and Bust-a-Nut. They accept that things have changed.

The fight between Luis and Davonte is ongoing, and young people are cheering on their respective sides. Across the way, there are fights going on between young people. Luis and Davonte are watching and cheering, while Fatass and Bust-a-Nut are in heaven.

The Episode Review

Julio and Luis are a great buddy comedy duo. Their frustration with the oddball quality of their temporary new “gang”–especially Julio’s failures–was truly the funniest part of the episode.

The comedy writing in “The Great Gatsby” can still be a bit cringeworthy, occasionally drawing out a mediocre joke too long. The actors’ comedic timing and delivery is generally spot-on, however.

There is a certain satisfaction in seeing old rivals come together and realize how much they have in common. Hopefully, This Fool continues to deliver on quirky storylines with absurdly funny resolutions. ..
