Like the mystery of how the plumbing works in that facility.

I loved the subtle brick joke that Guy's wife is named Lady and his son is named Sonny. I always felt like Guy was given enough characterization to make it work, but he was literally just dropped into Diane's lap. Lampshading it with his deliberately generic name was a clever counter.

I also appreciate that she was rocking the 90s Dixie paper cup pattern.

That’s precisely what I thought; Columbia as Rosie the Riveter.

Although I really, really liked this episode, it seems to have some of the same wonky writing problems as the rest of the season. Each act of this episode was basically a self-contained story in itself:

I’m pretty sure it was used as a qualifier for what he said later in the sentence.

Also, what the FUCK is up with that railroad?

<spoiler>Wondering if part of William’s dawning realization that he’s maybe not done the right thing in his life was showing his wife his created version of her long-dead father and perhaps that being the catalyst for her suicide</spoiler>
