![]() Meanwhile in Dispatches From Elsewhere Episode 6, Simone and Janice return to Fishtown and we, as an audience, return to Janice’s past since she’s familiar with the bar and one of the regulars. Fredwynn helps out by posing as a life coach and dragging Peter up off the floor when he crash-lands during his escape, but this is still very Peter-focused, giving him chance to shrug off his bland everyman shtick. This gives Peter an excuse to sneak into the Spotify offices and find a trail of musical cues and clues leading first to a playlist and then an IP address. They investigate a closed museum and Peter is able to decipher a recurring symbol as the logo of the parent company atop his former employer. Peter and Fredwynn make a decent dysfunctional odd couple anyway, especially since Fredwynn’s smug self-assurance gives Peter the opportunity to stand up to him and develop a greater sense of personal worth. I can appreciate how Dispatches From Elsewhere Episode 6 is going out of its way to create fresh pairings here, and especially the value in keeping Peter and Simone separate for a while – absence makes the heart grow fonder, after all, and their romantic arc will do well to teeter from will-they to won’t-they for a while. This, as it turns out, is good news for AMC’s oddball show, since it works as an ensemble piece about outsiders coming together to find each other and themselves about as well as it works as a surrealist funhouse-mirror puzzle box – and it seems to work best when it’s doing both at once.Īnother diner-set team meeting brings us up to speed, reminding us of the slightly different objectives of each team member and their most recent spats Janice (Sally Field), for instance, refuses to work with Fredwynn (André Benjamin) after the whole text message debacle, so she ends up teaming with Simone (Eve Lindley) in order to follow Clara’s artwork in the hope of tracking her down, while Peter (Jason Segel) accompanies Fredwynn to unravel the secret conspiratorial forces at work behind the so-called game. ![]() Dispatches From Elsewhere Episode 6 is fittingly titled “Everyone” the first installment to not focus primarily on a single character and their origin story.
