(Not literally, with this show we can see how that would be a concern.)

Lets get right into it and see what the apoca-list has in store for us this week.

Theres no time to waste, were down to 8 months and 7 days, people!

(Im rooting for bungee jumping.)

This can only spell trouble.

Were nicely checking all the rom-com boxes so far.

Over at the Cybermart, operation Hanky Panky is officially underway.

Youll remember last week when Evie bartered her skills as a matchmaker to keep her job?

With all the laws of rom-coms in play however, I imagine this will change eventually.

Evie suggests that she try being nice?

However, theres more to worry about than impressing Dierdre.

Wheres Xavier with a X when a girl needs a pep talk?

Busy harboring a fugitive in his basement, thats where.

Jesse is important to him and he wont give him up to the cops.

One more small piece of Xaviers past: His childhood nickname was Bugs.

NEXT: Anyone for baseball?

While throwing balls at Evie she is tasked with hitting them back while answering questions about her job performance.

Its actually working until Evie fires a ball right at Jesses face, breaking his nose.

Not that hes bothered, it will help with his police-evading disguise.

Evie realizes shes misjudged him.

But Evie tells him shed still be involved because she cares about him.

She deftly explains to the panel why she is the best person for her job.

Mother and son had a lot in common, it would seem.

She tells him every day is a gift, so he should always try and follow his heart.

And adds: Try and keep your cousin out of jail.

Hey, two out of three aint bad, Xav.

Then simply asks, Is Jesse claustrophobic?

Next stop: central Canada!

Only he did win!

Take that, Barry and your hot tub sale!

In other news:

Next week Xavier tries to share the truth with the world.

Cant see there being an issues with that, can you?
