I understand why the writers did what they did but I can agree: this week and last week (the father threatening to withhold trust fund money; I believe Mama Baskets would have said near anything to send Chip's wife away to protect him) the choices seem a bit forced and false.

Interesting insight, thanks.

My favorite episode.

Bad pun incoming:

Thanks, I cannot pretend to know others motives for liking Abbi and Illana, but I really appreciate the way they try to de-stigmatize some things, among other reasons.

Parts of episodes generally work for, floor, or really entertain me. Occasionally an entire episode grabs my attention.

Loved the cold open.

That was great and with great delivery. Judy Gold did a great job, more please!

Try it again, but with no expectations.

Abbi, you have been recognized.

I am.

I think some of her reactions are over the top, imho. Her initial reaction to Lincoln's news was one of them for me.

Judy Gold killed it. I'd like to see more of her.

I missed that! Thank you!

I thought the use of "anise" was a witty wordplay referencing the prior anus conversation.

Ok, so Josh's call for "Crisp" no "Tight snaps" and better organization after the third song of "He's cool with it" was really funny on second viewing.

I found Fuse the least interesting of the Rosa trilogy. I found many of the early situations familiar, although the opening ending was a surprise to me. I appreciated the fact that Mike asked, but he really should have known that it would not be easy for Josh as Josh obsessed over Rosa. I appreciated the emotionally…

Some people jump off bridges, some show off on them, and others meander over bridges to enjoy the view.

And her son drops the line "Suicide is not the answer, usually" in the same episode.

Wow, do not mess with Mama Baskets.
