Flashback Joe is readingThe Perks of Being a Wallflowerbecause of course he is.
The gentle nurse Fiona gazes upon him and shares her sad little sandwich.
I mean, yes, but also:easier said, buddy!
I dont know about the rest of you, but I have someissueswith how this series handles partner violence.
But JOE and JOE ALONE will fight for her.
Meanwhile,Youhas most of its women saved, however problematically (primarily by homicide) by Joe.
Instead of by, I dont know … other women in their lives!
What do you all think?
How is this landing with you?
For now, lets retreat to a safe space: the library.
Joe has decided that Marienne, who likes flaws and whimsy, is deep.
Love, to whom Joe must prove he is a devoted husband, for reasons.
Love deals with her confusion by texting Forty.
She has his phone in her nightstand.
Not to MENTION her next-door neighbor who made his fortune in tech surveillance andwhose wife you literally murdered.
Love has to go to Glamma Dotties vineyard for its big opening weekend, a goddess-y girlboss-y summit.
NO ONE DOES THIS.
Theo says Love is the only person he can talk to.
I say: Theo, see a therapist!
If they can negotiate corpse disposal and homicide coverups, Im pretty sure they could navigate polyamory!
Meanwhile, Matthew has hired an investigator to look into his wifes murder.
The attorney from his company FINALLY, someone is talking to counsel advises against this.
It is a massive PR problem already, and he will only make it worse.
But Matthew is a man obsessed, and, in his defense, he is correct.
Love arrives at Casa Gaia Vineyard with Henry in tow.
(Same sartorial strategy for the wellkend last season, remember?)
Glamma is wearing a velvet mustard-colored blazer that I love.
Ill give this to Glamma: She knows what shes doing.
The WOMB summit is about what youd expect.
And Love immediately gets her period afterward.
Well, time for some wine!
This show is at its best when it goes FULL crazy.
This 75 percent crazy is just icky.
While Love is away, Joe digs through Mariennes office and finds a lawsuit accusing her of child endangerment.
This determination lasts all of 20 minutes because while hes downstairs shelving books, he hears shouting from above.
Now that Marienne is a damsel again, Joe loves her once more.
Honestly, this whole thing where Joe is just now putting together his mommy issue patterns …
I mean, really?
Have we not known that this whole time?
Joe believes this no-duh revelation has FREED him.
Its so on the nose that I write in my notes:Is Marienne maybe out-Joe-ing Joe?
Joe, given this very brief update on Mariennes complex history, understands completely.
Joe demands someone stop Ryan from manipulating the justice system, and HE is that someone!
Marienne is seeing a lawyer instead, thank God.
Its all a dream until Joe realizes with horror: Oh shit, Love is going to kill you.
Actually, great advice; thank you, Sherry!)
Theo is here with some news: His dad is investigating everyone in the neighborhood.
By the harsh light of day, Joe tries to resign from the library.
But Marienne wont let him.
They swear they would never do anything to hurt each others kids.
Reunited at home, Love tells Joe about Matthews P.I.
and offers this convenient idea: taking advantage of Theos crush on her.
I could pretend like he had a chance, she says in the most unconvincing manner.
What a team these two make.
