Summary
Highlights
Cricket and his brother accompany their grandma, Alice, who is blindfolded due to recent eye surgery. Despite her inability to see, she insists on doing things herself. The brothers secretly help her navigate, for instance, replacing a newspaper with a blank one so she can 'read' it.
They visit Greasy Gus for burgers. Grandma Alice boasts about her independence, claiming she's doing fine without her sight. She expresses a desire for more excitement, hinting at her aversion to being seen as helpless.
Alice enters a dart bar, challenging her rival, Gertie, to a high-stakes game. Alice is confident she can win, even without her sight, and wagers a valuable, limited-edition item from her collection. The brothers worry how they can help her win a dart game.
As Alice struggles with her first dart throw, Cricket creates a loud distraction to help her. Alice realizes her grandkids have been secretly assisting her all day and admits that she is not as invincible as she thought, acknowledging that everyone needs help sometimes.
Alice, humbled, tells Gertie that her 'lucky streak' was actually due to her wonderful grandkids. She proposes calling the dart game a draw, but Gertie refuses. In a surprising turn, Alice then throws a dart into Gertie's hip, declaring victory through unconventional means.
Grandma Alice engages with a fashionable person who admires her 'vintage' boots and 'pre-distressed' jeans. Unbeknownst to the admirer, Alice's clothing is genuinely old and worn from hard work, rather than a fashion statement.
