When Search Party originally premiered on TBS in November 2016 , it was initially marketed as a broad comedy about millennial ennui, opening with its core four — Dory ; her on-and-off boyfriend, Drew ; flighty actress Portia , and loose cannon Elliott — at brunch. Instead, Dory’s obsession with their college classmate’s sudden disappearance served as a totally random gateway into murder, kidnapping, and court cases alongside wacky send-ups of pop culture.

In season five, Dory has started a cult, funded by tech billionaire Tunnel Quinn, played by Jeff Goldblum, and the two are being interviewed by the news host about their latest enlightenment endeavor. When Young dryly flubs a question asking about Dory’s new venture, everyone behind the camera giggles as they cut.

But as Early notes, it’s the first time it feels like Dory isn’t blindly stringing them along. “What’s interesting about this season is that Dory, for the first time, actually has some wisdom,” he says matter-of-factly while clutching a comically large water bottle.
