But this time, she concedes, it does feel different between Molly and Issa.
As they grow as individuals with their own interests, they are also growing apart as friends.
Sometimes you know too much of someones mess.
It just ebbs and flows.
Its how we function.
We dont necessarily see the conversations that happen with them after the Nathan thing.
When they were both messy in their own ways, it worked.
But now that theyre both trying to level up in their own ways, thats whats causing the rift.
The old way of interacting was comfortable.
Now their worlds are spinning.
Issa hasCondolaand Molly has Andrew.
They have other things and other people to look forward to.
And yet, when Issa called her out in thethird season finale, Molly listened.
Its like when your parents tell you something and your immediate answer is No.
But then youre like Dang, theyre kind of right.
Youre just conditioned to think they dont know what theyre talking about.
Its the same thing here.
I think theyre both feeling that.
Which is exactly what Molly has been saying.
The people closest to you know you the best and know you the worst as well.
That surprised me because it feels like theyre both making mistakes.
How do you feel about it?Wait, who did she say was at fault?
Whats funny is I feel like the fault goes both ways.
Its constantly ping-ponging, right?
In one episode, I can see Mollys point of view.
In another, I think Issa was right.
It just goes back and forth like a ping-pong match.
I dont know whos right!
And then its like theyre both wrong.
I do not have an answer.
They both play a role.
Maybe its a little bit of both because its like, how do you not see?
Yall are doing the exact same thing!But I think that things are different when itsforyou.
And also, she probably was like, Youre not about to mess up my day either.
So its a little selfish, but its also serving.
With Issas request, its Girl, I need a win, and Im coming to you first.
I gotta get this win.
Im trying to do something bigger that I didnt even think I could do.
So help me out.
And when Molly doesnt, is that petty?
Or is that boundaries?
Especially since the friendship is in shambles.
Or was it just setting boundaries?
For a minute, things were heading in a good direction at the block party.
But it went downhill fast.
What was it like to film that fight scene?Its never easy to fight with Issa.
Why are we in this moment?Not fun at all.
Never fun to shoot those.
Did you shoot that before or after youwobbledtogether?We shot the fight after.
At that moment, we were like, are we coming back from this?
Are we finally at a place where we can have fun again?
And then the turn happens immediately.
I talked to Nathan and Nathan went and talked to his boy.
Up in the air!
How do you view Mollys growth this season?I think Molly does Double Dutch.
One second, youre like, shes got it!
I think she does growth as a checklist.Okay, I grew!
Boom, Boom, Boom!No, boo boo, you gotta work.
Its a constant evolution.I went to therapy!No, one session does not unravel 18 years of trauma.
Go back to the drawing board.
And so, Mollys growth hasnt been sustained yet.
And then the minute they have a go at take their first step, they fall down.
Mollys like, I stood up, now Im trying to run.
No, girl, youre about to fall.
Andrew presents a calm.
He allows her the liberty to be fully herself.
The issue is that she doesnt really know who herself is.
She second guesses.Should I invite him to Thanksgiving?
If she could just figure out who she is, itll make loving her that much easier.
And it would also make loving herself that much easier so that she could love somebody else.
But shes trying to love him from her broken place.
Youre seeing them at their worst.
This season, the fans are very upset with Molly and I know because of their tweets.
Hopefully, shell get it together because Im really trying to root for her.
The hope of growth and the hope of healing is embedded in the relatability of these characters.
We see ourselves in these characters.
Did you have hope for yourself when you were a mess?
You wanted to get out of your mess.
And so we hope.
