Wow, okay, this show is so messy.
This episode needs to relax.
Er, well, humped twice many years ago.
And then Mitch drove off a cliff.
Or, well, if were being technical about it, Mitch didntnotdrive off a cliff.
It seems to be trying to say that Alex Levy wants to change.
There are a few moments that point in this direction.
Shes not going to use it.
Alex has made up her mind.
She doesnt exactly take full responsibility for it, but she doesnt deny it.
And isnt that the thing with this whole episode?
I just keep thinking about how Mia deserves a much bigger apology from Alex than shes ever gotten.
But sure, in her mind, Alex is changing.
After much angst in her bubble bath, Alex decides to go to Mitchs memorial service.
This event is truly cursed.
Alex arrives late and immediately runs into Fred Micklen first, followed by Mitchs ex Paige.
Thats a real one-two punch for ya.
But mostly, Alex is there to say a few words about Mitch.
In the end, though, those words seem like she might be talking about herself, as well.
Bradley goes all in during this interview.
No, it wasnt an altruistic gesture, but what is, really?
Certainly not getting money and publicity from publishing a tell-all book.
Whos the worst person you ever slept with, Maggie?
Its fine, were fine.
If Bradleys job was to protect Alex Levy, she does it well.
The gist: She shouldnt be punished for Mitchs crimes, especially when their relationship happened so long ago.
Alas, Bradley cant save Alex from herself.
People really fucking hate Alex Levy right now.
I wish I was making that up, but Im not!!
(Why dont we see any of that?)
Doug confirms two things: Shes definitely cancelled now, and she also tested positive for Covid.
Fuck, she says to no one in particular.
Shes cutting him out of her life.
She is gutted.No one sings a Simon and Garfunkel song.
And then…thats it.
Yanko doesnt show up at the memorial service, but we never revisit this storyline.
I really need Cybil to show up and cut him down with one pithy sentence.
