Kevin Can F**K Himself

Let’s preface by saying no one obviously condones full-blown murder planning, but here’s a hot tip for Allison McRoberts: Buddy, you don’t need to plan this hard to kill Kevin. Just leave him by himself for a weekend, and he will do something incredibly stupid and not survive it.
Kevin Can F**K Himself’s entire fourth episode, “Live Free Or Die,” reiterates this exact point. Allison heads for Vermont with Patty to score Oxy pills, which means her dimwit husband, his father Pete, and friend Neil are by themselves. They have the freedom to pursue the idea of creating an escape room in Kevin and Allison’s basement. The twist? They lure customers by offering a $10,000 prize, but somehow Kevin, of all the people on this blue planet, will make the clues so difficult that no one will guess them. As always, his pals needlessly cheer him on, propelling him to believe he really is the superior one. Inevitably, their escape room scenario ends messily. He might get unwavering support from Pete and Neil, but it’s Allison’s absence that affects Kevin the most.
