    Back from the dead with a Highwayman episode (more my about status in the intro). Any attempt to coherently explain the plot of this episode will fail. Somebody's being tried for a crime without any proof the crime happened, but not his frequently mentioned but unnamed and seen accomplices. Some gold miners needed to pretend that their gold mine had failed, even though it actually had failed. The afterlife is the fourth dimension. The Highway is not haunted. Jetto doesn't know what an Uzi looks like. Characters eventually get names. Anyway, Highway is here to fix the problem as long as he gets dessert first. Kyle and Scott take a look.

It's a watch along of the Freeform TV Series "Wrap Battle" (via Hulu). It's a show that makes me mad. If you're not interested, don't worry, this is much easier for me to create and doesn't take time away from Reject Video. But if you do like it, let us know and we may keep going here.
