The thing is. Ryland is a specialist there and sometimes Alex gets involved and then they get things like what made Gabe see The Cobra. After that, Victoria has to limit them to a couple of batches a year, jfc.

And Mike's friends (aside from his team/people Kevin already knew, natch) don't really MEET Kevin until Mike and Kevin have been together for a few months. But when Kevin tells Ryland about all the destroyed greenhouses and flowerbeds, he just pats his hand and offers him free tasty beverages for 'emotional trauma'.
