Gemstones Episode 4.8, Continued: We finally see Big D*ck Mitch, the boy named Stacy, a serial killer, and lots of tie*d up dudes

It's Lori!  She needs to talk to Eli, but he won't answer her calls or texts.  They growl and posture, and yell about how much they hate her, until she proves that she loved Aimee-Leigh, and them.

 1. When Judy was a few months old, they had to drive to Nashville for a show, and Aimee-Leigh missed her so much that she couldn't stop crying.  So they wrote "Little Angels, Big Hearts." Why did you leave your three-month old baby at home? And by the way, that's an eight-hour drive.  You'd better fly.

2. When Kelvin was about 12, he was in a piano concert in Atlanta.  He forgot his lucky shoes, but Mama convinced him to play anyhow.  And they wrote "Barefoot and Praying."  Why does Kelvin's musical talent appear in flashbacks, but never in the present?  He doesn't even own a piano.

3. When Gideon was a baby, he got a fever, and they didn't know if he would make it.  Jesse stayed up all night, holding his hand, and they wrote "Heaven's Thunder," about finding the strength to never give up.  Hey, I'm tearing up. My dad stayed up all night with me once when I was sick.   

Oh, and the siblings agree to help Lori contact their dad. 

Big D*ck Mitch:  After their lunch,  Eli and Baby Billy get into their car.  Suddenly they get darted, and go unconscious!   In the middle of the afternoon , in the parking lot of a restaurant?  

They awaken several hours later, tied up in a concrete room, with a n*ked, collared man who says he was kidnapped.

Eli: "Are you Big D*ck Mitch?"

Baby Billy: "That's an odd thing to comment on."  Dude can't help it if he likes d*cks, Baby Billy. Remember, he dated Junior.

Notice that Mitch is actually quite small. Lori would know this.  I think Cobb gave him the nickname to embarrass him, and told his son -- uh-oh, Corey is in on it, or at least aware of it and protecting Cobb.

Mitch is played by Regan Burns, an actor and comedian best known as the Dad on Dog with a Blog  He has 83 credits on the IMDB.

Cobb enters and introduces Mitch as "a good boy," using a taser to keep him cowering.  He explains that  "I keep Mitch alive because he entertains me," implying that he usually kills Lori's boyfriends.

He's not sure if he will kill Eli and Baby Billy, or break them down, "see how long it takes you to crack, make y'all my womans."  

"You ain't gonna make me a woman!" Baby Billy exclaims.

"I'll make you whatever I want."  He unzips and pulls it out (unseen).  Mitch whimpers as he starts to lower into position.  Then suddenly Stacy pages him: "the police are here.  They'd like a word."

Stacy is actually a guy, played by Michael Berthold.  Cobb seems to be promoting traditional hegemonic masculinity with the contention that someone who plays a passive role in bedroom activity is a "woman," yet he doesn't seem bothered by a long-haired, androgynous boy with a girl's name?

Michael Berthold grew up in Apopka, north of Orlando, Florida, and as of this writing is a student at the University of Florida, Gainsville.  He has 28 acting credits on the IMDB, including Billy the Fetus (2016), for which he won a Young Actors Award, and  The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019), where he worked with Shia LaBeouf.

And he owns a Great Dane.

More after the break

Back to the Milsap Gator Farm: The police officers tell Cobb that they are investigating a missing person, Big Dick Mitch, based on a tip from Lori.  Cobb complains that it's his ex-wife, always trying to get him in trouble.  The cops are sympathetic; they bond over discussions of divorce, and he gives them popcorn.

Meanwhile, in their chamber, Mitch is delusional, thinking that Eli and Baby Billy are at his car dealership. 

They are already worried about being r*ped by Cobb, but this is much worse.   They manage to get out of their ropes.  Dumb move, Cobb!  Everybody knows that you handcuff your kidnapping victims.

Cobb escort the cops out into the parking lot.  Suddenly Mitch comes running past, whimpering.  Wait -- how did they escape?  Did that idiot forget to lock the door?   

In response, Cobb shoots the cops in the head, killing them both!  

Hearing the gunshots, Baby Billy asks "Do you think he got Big D*k?"  That's funny, almost like "do you think he got a big d*k?"

Cobb goes to his security room to check the monitors for Eli and Baby Billy. A dozen monitors? You need all that to catch people shoplifting from the gift shop?

Stacy comes in, ready to go home for the night, and asking if he can have July 4th off.  Sure.  He thinks of more chores until Cobb, frustrated, says "Leave, or I'm going to fucking kill you."

Stacy chuckles, thinking that Cobb being paternal, saying something like "You've worked enough. Get the heck out of here, and go home."  But then he glances at a monitor and see Eli and Baby Billy running through the park.  "Should I..."  

Cobb casually shoots and kills him.

He ambushes Baby Billy and Eli in the serpentarium, and chases them out onto the alligator dock.  He tries to shoot, but his gun is out of bullets.  Baby Billy runs away; Eli fights.  Remember, he used to be a professional wrestler.

But Cobb still has his taser.  He shocks Eli repeatedly, and asks "Was she worth it?  Better than Aimee-Leigh?"  Baby Billy snorts some cocaine and runs to the rescue.  Nope -- Cobb decks him and stomps on his balls.

Suddenly Corey jumps out of nowhere and stabs his father.  Cobb is upset over being stabbed, but happy that his son made use of his birthday knife.  

Next Corey pushes him into the lagoon. Wait -- Cobb is incapacitated.  Corey is not just rescuing Eli and Baby Billy, he is retaliating for the paternal abuse.

Eli rings the bell for Old Gus the Gator -- dinner time!  Chomp, chomp.  

"How did you know?" Eli asks.

"Mama was worried about you.  I came to check on things."   With your birthday knife? I'll bet you knew about Big Dick Mitch.  And your original antipathy toward your Mom and Eli getting together was based on fear of Cobb.

Cut to the paramedics examining Baby Billy and Eli while the police interview Corey. The loved ones arrive.  The siblings hug Eli, Lori Corey, Tiffany and the Nanny Baby Billy.  Did they leave the kids home alone?  Then Lori and Eli break from their groups to hug each other.  So I guess they're back together?

The closing song is "Grace," by the Idles:

Make me safe, away from harm

Hold me in my brother's arms.

No God, no king.  I said love is the thing.

The end.
