Plot
A gull lays an egg on Cranky and he refuses to move until it hatches.
I really don't see the need for the seagull's egg to give Tess, I still hate her, a reason for her appearance and for her story. You could just change it to maybe Cranky being broken and cannot move and the episode would play out the same, there would be nothing different plotwise because the title for this episode as well as the synopsis makes it sound like the whole seagull and its egg is an important factor to the story but it was simply a plot device for Tess wanting help and that's it or you cannot have Cranky at all and have Bulstrode trying to get unloaded by Tess but she was busy and cannot do it and it's STILL the same story. There are different ways you can tell the story and it's the exact same thing without the egg!
That's all I can say about the episode to be honest as I find this episode to be not good. I still don't like Tess and I didn't like how she 'why didn't you ask me?' about Bulstrode's dilemma when they were telling her, a minor nitpick but it annoyed me when watching the episode and its showcase of its consistency problem.
