Schitt's Creek

Johnny, though hesitant, consents to deliver a eulogy for a local man he barely knew, taking on the unwanted responsibility. At the same time, Alexis struggles to cope with her new boyfriend’s passion for animals, which tests her patience and understanding.

Carl’s Funeral is a television programme presented as a single episode. It falls under the genre of a standard episode, offering a brief but self‑contained story centred on everyday dilemmas. The first thread follows Johnny, who finds himself pressed into delivering a speech at the funeral of a local man he barely knew. Though he’s not particularly close to the deceased, he accepts the task, albeit with a clear sense of reluctance and a hint of discomfort about speaking on someone’s life he can’t genuinely claim to understand. Parallel to Johnny’s uneasy obligation, the episode tracks Alexis as she navigates the quirks of her new boyfriend’s enthusiasm for animals. She discovers herself wrestling with the implications of his passion, trying to reconcile her own feelings with his evident affection for creatures of all kinds. Both storylines converge around the theme of confronting situations that feel out of step with personal expectations. Johnny’s forced tribute and Alexis’s uneasy adjustment each highlight how ordinary people cope when they’re drawn into circumstances that don’t quite fit their usual comfort zones. The episode therefore presents two modest yet relatable snapshots of life’s little complications.
