The show immediately launches into the revelation that Viktor recently smashed his head in an Arctic Circle bathroom after making the deeply questionable decision to try popping his ears while standing up. This was not some graceful medical maneuver performed by a trained professional. This was Viktor plugging his nose, attempting to force his ears to pop, and then apparently downloading a temporary trial version of consciousness because the next thing he knew, he was waking up on the floor with his head having introduced itself violently to a tile wall and his knee having also gotten involved in the festivities. He had been feeling sick before the trip to Park City, his ears were already suffering from elevation and sinus pressure, and then a mountain fire forced the group off the freeway and into a tiny Utah town where fate apparently decided that an Arctic Circle bathroom would become the scene of the most idiotic near-death experience imaginable. \nThe truly magnificent part is that nobody immediately knew what had happened because the Arctic Circle bathroom was apparently located far enough away from civilization that Viktor could theoretically have died in there and become a local Utah mystery. He stumbled out pale, disheveled and refusing to explain himself until they got back to the vehicle, where he finally confessed that he had passed out while trying to pop his ears. Naturally, Becca responded not with the immediate solemnity one might expect after discovering that her travel companion had just potentially concussed himself in a fast-food restroom, but by laughing hysterically. Viktor, meanwhile, was conducting a full internal medical investigation, wondering whether he had a concussion, whether one pupil was larger than the other, whether he had brain damage...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Pddw3CQT_FQTLlgnjY3YGxnaLaMD5nXwmfH_yhQVx6g/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iOGVj/OTM4ZmZmY2JkYjY3/YWM0NDdiYmM1YWZi/MmE1Ni5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
