I tried so hard this time but alas there's still one editing error at 14:52 ... I accidentally left out what Dabney says! He tells Malcolm that he can't lrave because his mom will be waiting for him when she gets out the shower and he needs to be there for her with a cozy towel. Also towards the end of the recording I go much lower energy, unfortunately I was sick at the time of recording. Also not sure why the music gets louder at the clip segments. Sorry guys!

I know most of you who are familiar with my content are probably expecting a Life's Still Unfair review today! However, this video got pushed back and so you can have this piece of content, and you can expect my full review (including some words from my friends who watched too) on Sunday April 19th or Monday April 20th. So be on the lookout, and have those notifications on if you're waiting for that!

Today, I wanted to chat about one of the most disturbing and painful episodes of Malcolm in the Middle, that is pretty crazy on every front. Hal goes crazy, Francis deals with crazy, Dewey goes crazy with power, and well... you'll see the weird bits about Dabney in a moment. Overall, shame on that woman for ripping her son's ability to lead a normal life from him 😫. While this episode is by far the most uncomfortable and disturbing episode in regards to Dabney, Hal's storyline is one of my favorites and that's saying a lot. Otto and Francis storyline though needs to be investigated by a court of law!

Luckily, this episode allowed me to use all the footage I wanted really with minimal edits, and I tried to have a little more fun and energy with it until the end where I was sick when I recorded it. Let me know what you guys think though down below, and i'll see you guys again real soon!
