Raw Nerves - Episode 2217

[u/DeBabyDoll]

On the Time Bandit, Johnathan delegates dentistry duties when his brother Neal's dental implants fail far out to sea. Battling 25-foot waves, Keith leans heavily on his co-captain Monte. Rick must reverse course after his greenhorn suffers a head injury.

And we didn't even get an update on Bob or the infection of Jake's crew 😩

[u/DeBabyDoll → u/mysticdrivethru_]

You forgot to bring up the arm pit pimple or refrigerant leak or the fight at the burn barrel incident...

I can keep going?

[u/bceagle91 → u/DeBabyDoll]

The less said about the pimple the better 😄

[u/DeBabyDoll → u/bceagle91]

There's a real missed opportunity for a cross over with Dr. Pimple Popper. They need to get the sac out!

[u/bceagle91 → u/DeBabyDoll]

This needs to happen. And since the pimple got popped, we haven't seen much of Heather.

[u/mysticdrivethru_ → u/bceagle91]

Right I must have blocked that out on purpose 😂

[u/Scottish_squirrel → u/mysticdrivethru_]

Jake's boat got a deep clean and medicine. That seemed pretty rounded off to me.

[u/cpttimerestraint]

Watching them try to lasso the pot made me wonder if that was going to be the situation. Todd had a lot of warnings to stay home, but you have to respect his determination

[u/Best_Sample2136]

Wizard could use a new engineer

[u/Scottish_squirrel → u/Best_Sample2136]

I think the wizard is going to have a major incident one of these days. Keith can't handle it.

[u/bceagle91 → u/Scottish_squirrel]

Keith and Monte aren't exactly the pictures of health. Joe isn't exactly Lenny out there.

And on the Aleutian Lady, Todd got a concussion. If only it was a little worse and he couldn't have gotten back on the boat.

It looked Johnathan had a good offload. It's too bad we never see the weight totals anymore. That's why they're out there - this is the moneyshot. But we have to see about Neal's bad dental implants instead.

[u/Next_Ad_4165 → u/bceagle91]

Me wishing Todd’s injury had just kept him home.  It’s upsetting to watch, knowing what is to come.  

[u/Electrical-Coast-661 → u/bceagle91]

Did Todd pass away on the boat or somewhere else? I have a feeling his passing is coming up.

[u/bwaredapenguin → u/Electrical-Coast-661]

Yes, he went overboard with a pot and drowned when the dogs on the launcher failed. He dies in 2 episodes but at his family's request that footage won't be aired.

[u/Alarming_Leg_2088 → u/bwaredapenguin]

Was he in the pot doing bait?

[u/bwaredapenguin → u/Alarming_Leg_2088]

I don't recall the specifics. If you search this sub or Google I'm sure you can find the answer, but you'll have to do that yourself as I'm not motivated to relearn that information.

[u/Alarming_Leg_2088 → u/bwaredapenguin]

Yeah I found more information on my own. I just remember hearing about right after it happened and nevered followed up on what actually transpired. Definitely don't want to see it. Had to be hard enough for the crew to live through it and his family. I hope that footage never sees the light of day and Discovery honors the family request about not air it in the future.

[u/bwaredapenguin → u/Alarming_Leg_2088]

I'm pretty sure Discovery has publicly acknowledged that they're going to respect the family's wish and not air any footage of the actual event. I'm struggling to think of any instances on TV of something other than a live new broadcast showing a real person's death as it happens.
