In the third season of the hit comedy series Reno 911!, the zany and dysfunctional officers of the Reno Sheriff's Department are at it again in all-new misadventures that will keep audiences laughing from start to finish. In episode 8, entitled "Clemmy Marries a Dead Guy," things take a bizarre turn as Clemmy, the eccentric and idiosyncratic member of the department, falls in love with a corpse.
The episode begins with Clemmy (played by Wendi McLendon-Covey) attending a funeral with her colleague Deputy Williams (played by Niecy Nash). While paying her respects, Clemmy becomes enamored with the deceased and decides that she wants to marry him. Despite the protests of her friends and coworkers, Clemmy is determined to go through with the wedding and sets about planning the ceremony.
As the preparations get underway, the other officers of the department are left scratching their heads at Clemmy's strange behavior. Deputy Dangle (played by Thomas Lennon) is particularly concerned, fearing that his colleague may not be in the right state of mind to make such a life-altering decision. But Clemmy is resolute in her desire to tie the knot, and soon the entire department is swept up in the chaos surrounding the upcoming nuptials.
The wedding ceremony itself is a surreal and disturbing affair, with Clemmy standing at the altar beside her deceased fiancé while the rest of the department looks on in stunned silence. Even more shocking, however, is the unexpected turn of events that takes place during the ceremony. To say anymore would be to spoil the surprise, but suffice it to say that things do not go exactly as planned.
Throughout the episode, the comedy is as sharp and irreverent as ever, with the usual cast of lovable misfits getting into all sorts of ridiculous shenanigans. There are plenty of laughs to be had, whether it's from the deadpan humor of Dangle, the wacky antics of the ever-enthusiastic Junior (played by Robert Ben Garant), or the off-kilter charm of Clemmy herself.
