Episode 8?

"Episode 8?" is the eighth episode of Bay Cove Terrace, and the first "meta" episode. It depicts a script reading by the cast and crew of Bay Cove Terrace, who poke fun at the episode script and themselves during a drawn-out, turbulent read through.

Synopsis
Crewmember Sean has gathered with actors Joe and Mikiech who play Drumsey and Pat McGiggles, respectively, in the basement of 20th Century Bowl in Bellingham, WA, to read through the script for the latest episode of Bay Cove Terrace. Joe appears in full Drumsey costume and becomes irate when he discovers it was never a dress rehearsal.

The cast begins to read through the episode, unsatisfied with the script and confused by some of the language. They grow increasingly frustrated, and crewmember Sean assures them the episode's writer/director Carmella will be arriving shortly.

As the reading continues, the cast becomes progressively more agitated. Joe hurls portions of his costume across the room. Mikiech has a meltdown when he becomes unsure how to pronounce the word "envelope". Both actors get into a shouting match, during which Joe throws the Drumsey head at Mikiech.

After fighting their way through the entire script, crewmember Sean receives a call from writer/director Carmella, who says she cannot make the shoot. They call Chris Patton, who refuses to direct the episode.

Carmella's Response
Carmella's episode became the subject of a retaliatory webisode starring Carmella, which depicts her as being skeptical of the Bay Cove Terrace project and skipping it in favor of video games.

"Meta" Episode
This is the first "meta" episode of Bay Cove Terrace. Another, called "Last Minute Episode", depicts a similar situation with Bay Cove Terrace cast and crew scrambling to produce content.
