We have HELL that is also maybe DEATH that is also EMS SUBCONSCIOUS FEARS AND FANTASIES.
We have FAMILY DRAMA.
Does it stick every landing?
Im an athlete).
We will get into my one big hang-up later.
Since when does Em allow fears that small-minded locals would tarnish her reputation to affect what she does?
And now shes just like her dad.
Correct assessment, Austin!
Ems swerve toward convention makes no sense to me, sorry, folks.
Em sees Frazars ghost at the funeral because of course she does.
What is UP with her?
Em tells her dad shes proud of him, and they stroll home together.
An Em original, one assumes?)
I love their adorable banter about talking to daffodils theyre such good listeners!
I guess this is the funereal equivalent of leaving a wedding and immediately plotting your own engagement.
And if Austin dies, well, theyll go tohisson.
His anonymous infant son.
Em cant believe it.
Her father cant believe thatshecant believe it.
What was he supposed to do, leave everything to her?
The bank would tear the will right up!
Women cant own property because women are tooemotional.
Anyway, these are the laws and life is easier without the burden of independence, isnt it?
Em stands up and finally lets her dad have it.
She used to think he was incredible.
But now she knows better.
You are nothing but a scared sheep.
You have no power to change anything because you have no imagination.
And for that reason, no one will ever know or care who you were.
I made a mistake.
Austin was right about you.
I will begin with praise: the delivery!
HAILEE STEINFELD!!!
I feel like it does not track with the characters or their experiences up to this point.
It doesnt add up.
Did you all watchMad Men?
As Em storms out, she slams into Betty and begs to know how she keeps it all together.
Betty does NOT have time for this shit.
Betty had to find out about Henrys situation from the mailman.
Betty says that hope is a lie and that Em understands nothing, which is harsh but honestly fair.
Em sprints through the trees as we see that, in the South, Henrys troops are advancing.
I know youre throwing $15 million an episode atThe Morning Show).
She finds Vinnie dressed as a maid, trying to keep all her husbands alive.
You love writing poems about loving Sue.
Extremely spooky; great work, Jane Krakowski.
But Em is still sobbing over her dad.
(Also, I apologize, but Sues Rizzo from your high-school production ofGreasewig is killing me.)
Sue takes Em to is this the Dickinson living room?
But the hell/upside-down version?
She says, Its just you and me now, but in this context, that sounds awfully ominous.
Time for a strange, sensual death dance!
The ghost horses that pull Deaths carriage are there, but the carriage itself is crumpled.
She watches the Black regiment march forward with Henry, but they cant see or hear her.
Still, she sees that theyre winning.
She looks up and sees the bird the hope bird from Aunt Lavinias funeral.
Then she is back in reality.
In the forest, which looks quite glowy and beautiful.
I love that twisted tree.
And the bird is still there.
