Shower the People finds the townsfolk of Eureka in the midst of Allison's baby shower and nearing delivery date, Global Dynamics trying to figure out how to harvest all of BioKim's data, and Henry seeing more and more of Kim in BioKim. There is plenty of humor surrounding the shower and Carter's reactions to Allison's condition, but melodrama in everything related to BioKim. Too much melodrama - which overshadows the sci-fi. Add to that a rash of drownings of people who are nowhere near a body of water and the episodic crisis is fully formed. While the crisis resolution is solid sci-fi, the melodrama chokes out everything else. It is sad and manipulative and when given the melodramatic-manipulator side story of Jack and how-much-longer-are-we-stuck-with-her-Tess, and the episode cracks under the weight. Could have been better.
