A very minor point, but I was surprised Liz was using a random handkerchief for protection when she was doing her rock tumbling or whatever. Girl, don’t you have a drawer full of cute masks from a couple years ago? 

Glad to see Alice made some progress with [Roy Kent]. I kind of wondered about the story he hinted at, but maybe the point was that it didn’t matter.

Does this mean Liz is cheating on Derek? I didn't realize they could make her even more unbearable. She should be spending every day thanking god that such a nice man is willing to tolerate her personality and bankroll her overprivileged lifestyle.

Brett Goldstein's beautiful fiancee was an odd touch, considering that Brian said that he's living a Requiem for a Dream-esque life, but I'm guessing we'll learn more. Maybe the engagement is up in the air because of his issues, and his storyline will end with them resolving things.

Gabby being bitter toward Jimmy is getting really, really old.

I was wondering a little bit if somehow the fiancee was also killed in the same incident, but I guess we would have known that already so probably not.  Did he say that's my fiancee present tense? I don't remember the specifics.

Paul and Jimmy in the canoe has brightened up my whole week. I would never have guessed that Harrison Ford could be so wickedly funny.

Louis seemed very skilled at bringing out Alice’s emotions. I wonder if it will turn out that he was a therapist before the accident.

I do like this show. Every character is great... except for Liz. I can't stand her. Hated her in Season 1 and she's been nothing but insufferable Season 2. Are we supposed to feel bad for this spoiled privileged bully? She's miserable and mean, yet everyone loves her? They are all complicit in making her feel she is so superior to them. I know Christa Miller is married to the show runner, but her character needs to take a backseat in the caboose of a very long train. And she really needs to stop the injections and fillers and botox. She speaks as if she has lockjaw because her facial muscles are so frozen.

Funny, she played essentially the same character in Cougar Town. Horrible character on that show as well. She seems to always get the work because of being married to the showrunner.

And on Scrubs!

You would think her husband would give her a somewhat different character to play, so that she can show that she has range, but maybe she doesn't have any?

Gabby would never be best friends with Liz. That's even harder to buy than Jimmy and Brian being BFFs. And at least in that case, they've given us a backstory to help explain how they got close (with Brian having been a very different person when they became best friends in college, because he was still closeted then).

She barely has the range to play this character. At least it was (unintentionally) hilarious when Brian said, about Louis, that "sometimes it's easy to see when someone really needs help. It's written all over their face." And then the show cuts to Liz, so that we get The Message that poor Liz also has her troubles, and, why, we can see the toil, the cares, the struggles written all over her super expressive face:

Christa Miller is also the "music supervisor" on the show, seemingly because she once listened to Death Cab for Cutie, and thus thinks she has hip alternative tastes.
