The episode is actually the penultimate episode of the series’ final season and is written and directed by Mel Eslyn and it features cast members Jordyn Lucas, Natasha Perez, and Jake Green.
Synopsis:
Fascinated by what really happens at that corporate chain hotel near the airport — from the funny and weird to the scary and absurd — creators Mark and Jay Duplass (“Togetherness,” “Animals”) check into “Room 104.” The anthology series is set at an average American motel and tells stories ranging from comedies to dramas to horrors, with the tone, the characters and the era changing every time. Each episode plays like a mini-movie, offering a new discovery from one week to the next. Ultimately, “Room 104” is about “finding some magic in the seemingly mundane,” the Duplass brothers say.
John is the Chief Editor and Founder of Bubbleblabber.com. While at first a part-time project, Bubbleblabber quickly grew into a full-fledged operation and officially became a company in 2014. When John isn't running a business full-time, he likes to go to concerts with your mother.
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
