Aileen

Eastbound and Down was 4.

Excellent episode and a total 180 from where we left off last week.

I can only reconcile the death dinner being at Katherine’s because she was the one who had the most knowledge of the assisted suicide other than Eddie and Rome. She wasn’t still in shock about it like Delilah or Gina. I assumed we saw Gary sign the will with Katherine (and it was labeled as such) as a way to show that he had come to terms with dying but to keep this from Maggie as she still had hope for a cure.

He was supposed to be on the flight that crashed. He had survivors guilt that led to his suicide.

Of course this show couldn’t do a wedding episode without turning it depressing. it was jarring to see Ashley in the flashback since she’s been long-forgotten.

This. He was referring to their connection, not sex, when he was talking to himself. We saw her pass out cold from that foot rub. She wouldn’t have been able to consent and Ted Lasso is not doing that story line.

I assumed he was generally cold/stand offish to her in the past, so she took that for rudeness.

It did. That’s what made everyone do outside.

I’m really hoping this didn’t end up as a series finale. Such a good show.

I thought for sure something would happen to Noah in that bedroom. I was yelling at the TV for him not to go in there.

It was super awkward when Janelle Monáe had no idea what marriage law Sara was asking about. Whoopi and I had the same -blah- reaction to that noise-making toy that’s totally going to be on tik tok.

Yes, it's the BX9 gang...the ones that killed the father on the subway earlier this season.

I absolutely adored how she stood up for herself when being compared to Zendaya. I didn't see her as shading Zendaya, just talking about her own fabulousness.

Whoopi is narrating the Candlelight Processional at Epcot today and tomorrow, so she wasn't in NY today :)

The reveal in the first episode was enough for me to skip the rest of the season. A cancer storyline like this doesn’t really seem to fit the tone of the show and isn't what I signed up for.
