I am very grateful for this episode.

Yes, there are some important discussions happening around mental health and addiction.

But what Im most grateful for is the near absence of Mary Cosby.

Its a wonder what 43 minutes without full-body cringing can do for chronic back pain.

The show itself is anticlimactic.

Even the worst of it is only 30 percentRamona Singer, so Id call it a smashing success.

Brooks is predictably upset that Seth didnt demand a play-by-play and shower him with praise.

Bravo usually does a breezy lil vignette interlude sometime after the first scene, and this weeks no different.

Its a gift every time!

Lisa touts her vaguely phallic, crystal-covered tequila bottles as a kosher delicacy.

And finally, Mary Cosby asks Robert Junior and his Gucci trapper hat why they came home late.

Is there any context?

Hell, spin it off into a dating show!

Anyway, some exciting things are happening at Shah Chalet.

Jen picks at a breakfast plate after taking anxiety/depression meds, discussing her journey in a confessional.

If ya need em, take em!

Johns goals involve taking the boys on camping trips, coaching their sports teams, and listening without interrupting.

Her lips stay firmly clamped and every dating life question is met with evasive platitudinal nonsense.

While this is great for Merediths therapist and media trainer (so much footage for their portfolios!

), it doesnt exactly work for a gossipy dinner on Andy Cohens dime.

At Heathers house, things are also getting vulnerable.

At this point, is anyone on this show all-in, 100 percent Mormon?

What are Lisas thoughts on this?

But maybe as a compromise, we can ditch the sweeping temple shots and haunted choir music?

At least until they cast some Mormon IG influencer next season?

Finally, Jen pops on over to Whitneys house to play on the pole and gossip about Meredith.
