"The Room" is the second segment of the fifty-fifth episode of Big City Greens.
Synopsis
Tilly closes up Cricket’s secret escape hole in their room, sparking a conflict that leads to them splitting the room down the middle.
Plot
Gloria is watching a trashy reality show called "Snug Lil' Room" when Alice walks in and asks what she's watching, inevitably getting sucked into the trashy reality television. Cricket and Tilly want to know what they're watching, and Gloria explains the drama is so good because of what happens when people share a space and go crazy. Tilly and Cricket disagree. They've been sharing a room since they were babies, and they haven't had any conflict!
Back in their shared room, Tilly talks with Sackson about how silly the notion is that a brother and sister would ever butt heads. A draft blows through the room and Tilly discovers Cricket's secret entrance to the room, when Sackson suggests that she do something about it. She boards up the entrance, and an argument ensues when he comes back and smashes his head into the new boards.
Out in the living room, Gloria and Gramma Alice are invested in their show when the wind blows the cable out. Gramma threatens Bill and makes him go fix it, but until then, Gloria and Gramma are without entertainment. They hear the kids arguing across the house and delight that they now have a dramatic reality show playing out in front of them. They even start interviewing the kids in a brilliant parody of most reality show confessionals.
Gloria and Gramma get up to get some popcorn, only to come back and find out they've split the room down the middle, except different, with Tilly getting the top half of the room, and Cricket getting the bottom. Gloria asks Gramma if her grandmother duties allow them to do this, with Alice replying it will help build their character before she states she's Team Cricket, with Gloria adding that she's Team Tilly because "she's savage."
The fight between the kids continues, and Gloria happens to walk through them thinking they went to bed, promising to return with a cup of coffee. Gramma comes in to find Gloria watching the kids destroy her house, and realizes they let things go too far. Back in the interview room, Gramma reveals they must now do something, much to Gloria's disappointment until she realizes they need a dramatic finale.
Borrowing a rose from The Bachelorette, Gloria says whoever gets the rose will be able to stay in the house, and the other must leave. The kids panic, not wanting to separate or have to move out, when Gramma appears behind Gloria with her own rose, promising they won't have to leave, but will instead move into the basement with Gloria (betrayal!). Gloria panics and realizes reality TV is bad, and shouldn't exploit the emotions of others and retreats to her basement alone. The kids realize that they can compromise and still live in harmony together, sharing their room.
Bill restores the cable, only to come home and find a partially house, with the only explanation as to what happened there was "Good TV".
