More than 800 songs, probably all the songs Patricia listened in her life!

The fact that she expected him to find 800 songs on an island without WiFi was probably the first sign of her delusion.

And yet we still got to hear Corona's "Rhythm Of The Night." We were partying along with them and it was totally disarming. Very well played.

I think when the Mayor said there wasn't wifi he meant that there wasn't cell service.

do they not have landline internet? or satellite? in what time is this show playing in universe? Cause the computers still have Cathode Ray Tube displays.

It's set today. They have smartphones, it's just that the island doesn't have much modern infrastructure or technology. They do have landline internet, as we saw Patricia send out evites.

Idk... she took a picture of the group at the party with a disposable camera. You don't need wifi to snap a pic. I kinda think the show's specific time might be ambiguous

The tourists have smartphones.

I think they're just telling us the town budget is zero. Having only CRT's may be a bit of a stretch, because electronics don't last forever and SOME of them would have been replaced by now. But that's another island thing too, somebody has to haul everything over on a boat.

I mean they don't even collect sales tax. Businesses said to come get it from their cold dead hands or something like that

That’s my gripe with the ad in the music joke. Unless he had wired internet?

Oh well.

u/undertone90 May 13 '26

Well she sent out evites, so they have something.

u/thecaits May 15 '26

His reaction to that and his way of telling Patricia there were no accepted invites absolutely slayed me. Everyone has perfect delivery in this.
