"…do you guys want to sit at the same table…?" was a gem of a moment.

"Dream Ghosts" is one of my favorite numbers from this show and I'd love for Michael Hyatt to get another song or two. (Or ten.)

That moment made me laugh so hard I fell off the couch. True story.

"Honestly the real prize is that I beat Michael Voltaggio." A+++ Brooke, never change.

It looked like they had some seltzer available - you see it being thrust toward Shirley in one quick shot.

We need a Brooke and Shirley spinoff. Or something. Travel the country. Or globe. Tell stories. Meet people. Cook.

Top-notch episode! Hard to pick out highlights without just listing every scene in order, but I'll give it a go:

Strongly agree that the variance from the books are serving this show well. Maybe not "objectively" better than the books (though they do solve my biggest problem with the series, which is that I always and forever want more Julia) but definitely a better fit for the medium.

Fantastic episode - loved the "hair standing on end" feeling of the first shots inside Emma's cabin, showing all the battered modern tech scattered around. (I think I yelled "oh shit!" out loud.) Lucy mounting the horse and immediately sliding off the other side made me giggle and rewind to watch it again. And it was…

MVP of the week was the chair-eography of "You're My Best Friend" - just sheer delight all the way through.

OK, I've never worked in any part of a restaurant, so I might not be grasping the finer details, but what the eff was happening - or supposed to be happening, in a world in which it was functioning - with Tesar's expediting system? They were family style (…ish? Except for desserts? Maybe?) and so they were trying to…

Spinoff I most want: Todd the Fire Monster's meeting.

I find myself echoing the majority here: yes it was overstuffed and yes that fact didn't lessen my enjoyment one bit. Favorite bit, aside from Lucy's excellent "I'm a psychic" bid to save herself, was her sheer giddiness at getting to meet and assist Houdini - giddiness that was tempered every time she looked at Flynn…

We'd also need a special time-travel episode to the 1920s, where a vaudeville company no longer has a way to pull terrible performers offstage.

It slipped by in a flurry of great jokes - including that delightful-terrible (delirrible?) Flipflop/Sandals riff - but I think we all need to take a moment and appreciate this gem from Darryl: "You know Rebecca - she loves to jog and dog."

"Here's my secret: I keep refilling my drink before I finish it. Loophole!"

Upvoted for "jolly roger him up."

Agree with all of the above, but most especially that Nick was the goddamned worst.

Speaking of The Garofalo Era! Does anyone know what happened there? That was a remarkably swift and efficient sidelining of a character.

You are a true trash connoisseur and I salute you, sir!
