Something like this is not complete without an episode featuring Rocky and Stan...

...which mind you, is not an endorsement of the series idea as anything more than macabre humor that may (or may not) be "meant for you"...

Add the tarmac confrontation and write your Emmy acceptance speech for Episode 5.

Small point, I know, but wouldn't the Honeys be reuniting way earlier. They put out their album while Dennis was still alive.
