About This Episode
What is this episode about?
The episode "Road Rage (Please Continue)" from Criminal is an unlocked installment of the show's companion series Please Continue, in which Phoebe and Lauren talk through tense driving moments, including one encounter Phoebe says still gives her chills. The conversation also touches on a mortifying habit of Phoebe's, an emerging trend in New York City, and a passing mention of very small pumpkins. The episode itself is titled Road Rage, reflecting its focus on the stress and unpredictability of difficult moments behind the wheel.
Rather than a traditional investigative narrative, this episode offers a looser, conversational format, pulling back the curtain on the kinds of personal stories and tangents that make up the Please Continue side project. It leans more toward reflection and anecdote than reconstruction of a specific crime or case.
