Oftentimes, when a friend is dating someone horrible, all efforts to open the friend’s eyes to that fact only cause them to get defensive and commit even harder. People act against their own interest all the time, both consciously and in instinctive response to gut feelings and nagging mental voices. The colonel's role in this episode parallels the role of Alejandro Sosa from the film Scarface.Human behavior is full of little system bugs, compelling us to make life more difficult for ourselves using cockeyed emotional rationales.In the episode however, the location is designed to resemble a typical South American jungle where illegal drugs are normally harvested from plants.
