Synopsis/Details
While coming to work, Notso suffers a blow to the head which triggers "alien hand syndrome" where his right hand seems to take on a life of its own. THE HAND starts doing things at random that upend his life. Notso quickly realizes that he has lost control of THE HAND and tries to enlist his buddy Tate to help him. Tate initially thinks Notso has completely lost his mind, but realizes that Notso's hand is really out-of-control and decides to help a friend in need, but not in a way Notso had hoped. Meanwhile, Mabry and Chen find out about THE HAND and seize the opportunity to have fun with the situation. They take turns coming up with ways to bait traps THE HAND will likely take advantage of and eagerly wait to see what the results might be. Tate and Notso begin a game of cat-and-mouse where Tate pursues his idea of how best to cure Notso's condition while Notso tries to just keep THE HAND from making things any worse as he frantically avoids Tate. Notso's desperation and Tate's determination collide in a finale that exceeds Mabry's and Chen's wildest expectations.
