BakuraPika reviews Eerie, Indiana episode Heart on a Chain

[froodle]

okay but YO this episode of eerie indiana got me FUCKED UP

Starts off with narrator Marshall talking about his first kiss with a girl named Melanie in a cemetery. And then he starts rambling about the thin veil between life and death.
We’re introduced to Marshall’s new best friend Devon, who’s a Too Cool type who’s smart but a risk taker, and whose motto is “Live Fast, Die Young, Leave a Good Looking Corpse”
And Melanie, new student, comes to class but the teacher (who’s obsessed with death for some reason?) warns about her heart condition.
Cue a cute montage of Marshall and Devon playfully showing off for Melanie to impress her, buying her gifts, asking her out. But Marshall and Devon don’t fight over her. Devon’s like ‘hey i know you like her but can i ask her out’ and Marshall’s like ‘yea man we cool’
Then Devon gets hit by a car.
Marshall runs to the hospital only to find Melanie there because they “found a heart donor” for her.
A very quick scene where we see that Melanie has acquired some very tomboyish traits ever since her heart transplant because yeah by the way Devon just died. No ifs ands or buts.
Melanie and Marshall get together but every time they try to kiss, Melanie feels her heart doing something “weird.”
The rest of the episode is Melanie learning to deal with grief and come to terms with the idea that she doesn’t want to be dating anyone right now and wants to work on herself.
The kiss from the cold open happens right on top of Devon’s grave, a sweet goodbye kiss. There’s tongue.
Melanie gives Marshall the heart locket that Devon gave her.
Marshall leaves the graveyard because he wants to look for UFOs.
end of episode.

I am making NONE of this up.

anyway you should watch eerie indiana
