The episode opens on an archeological dig in the Ecuadorian highlands, indicating it will be a doozy of cultural appropriation.
In fact, Production Note: After the episode aired, the network found out that 'bichos' also means 'balls' in Colombia and Venezuela. Apparently, John Shiban, nor anyone else, knew that when he wrote the episode. Google translate says it means “bugs” but further research proves bichos is vulgar in many countries. Amazing.
Some of the excavators unearth an urn, called an Amaru, with the skeleton inside. They alert the Drs to the discovery and Dr. Bilac (bee-lack) (bee-lack) explains why they cannot take it with them. It’s sacred and Dr. Roosevelt actually says “I thought you understood and could handle these people.” I, for one, am looking forward to his death here in the open.
