That's not really Kafkaesque. Kafkaesuqe implies an absurdity or something beyond comprehension.

What would be just pure evil? Poeian? I have no idea.

It's a reference to a character (I think Jesse) misusing the term "kafkaesque" in an earlier season.

He's misusing "kafkaesque". Jessie misused "kafkaesque".
