You’re about the same age he was……when he left us.
The eerie, haunting strains of Annie Lennox’s “I Put A Spell on You” coming right on the heels of the opening credits is really quite a vibe, isn’t it? We pan over Alex’s formerly spotless penthouse, nearly every surface covered with take out boxes and wine glasses. Paul’s cell phone has been abandoned—sorry Amanda! He is simply addicted to fucking Alex, there is no time for business now. Because I am the only person that cares about the timeline of this show, I am assuming they’ve been on a sex bender since the interview, placing this somewhere in the Friday/Saturday space. Did they go back to the city together from the Hamptons? Did they fuck in the car? Alex’s driver, release your story, I beg!
Instead, we swing by uba, where Cory is speechifying to a room full of suits, demanding they finalize the deal. “The antelope is getting tired, and you’ve got a rock in your hand. All that’s left to do is bludgeon that poor beast to death.” Kendall Roy wishes he could find a metaphor that disturbing slash motivating! Stephen Fry appears at the door, another absurdly long scarf dangling from his neck. Really unclear what they are doing w/r/t his costuming here, I guess it’s just like... English Dandy? It seems there has been a wee issue with the deal—someone has been calling the Justice Department about the deal. It seems like this mysterious woman has been calling on behalf of uba, but the Attorney General is spooked, and uba doesn’t need to have the Justice Department sniffing about in their business. “Shut her down.” Stephen Fry orders. Cory tells Kyle to cancel his afternoon and pull the car around, I start frothing at the mouth, trying to imagine what wild stunt casting we’re in for. You know who needs to show up on this program? Stockard Channing. I need one ultra cunty guest actress performance from Stockard—maybe she runs NDN. Just some food for thought! Kyle informs Cory that Bradley is in his office, because of course she is. Just sitting on his couch like she owns the place, wanting to be sure he got the text that she sent him about….Hal? She drops her voice here, as if whispering it will make their obvious criminal activity less sus. Anyway, Hal is great, focusing on being a good dad and definitely not turning himself into the FBI or anything. So no need to worry! All is well here!
You can see Cory running through three thousand ways to play this in his head as Bradley babbles about being an aunt and apologizes for how she is whenever Hal is lurking around. Here is an idea: why doesn’t she pop up to the ol Nutmeg State with him? “I just have to be back here by 5PM to do the news.” Bradley says, and I am simply obsessed with the idea that anyone who works in this job would phrase it like that. Wouldn’t you say like, “I gotta be back by five for the show”? Or even “just as long as we’re back by five?” He knows that you “do the news,” you work for him! He assures her that he will get her back in time for the news and the party. Party! Okay! The mysterious woman in Connecticut is a “political strategist with connections to the DOJ,” and is important or annoying enough that she gets her hand held by the head of the network himself. But if Bradley is there, she will be on her best behavior and they can just zip in and out. Obviously there is no way this will be a quick or easy visit, right?
And speaking of lack of quickies! Paul is making Alex breakfast in her kitchen, a space that has likely never felt the touch of hands that are not staff in it’s entire life. Alex waltzes in, ready to order something, then finds herself just as confused as her kitchen. She tries to help, offering to make toast, then offers to cut a cantaloupe. Why she randomly has a cantaloupe in her kitchen is something I will never understand. That is not the fruit this woman would have on hand! Alex Levy is high-end berries ONLY.
I regret to inform you that the way Paul tells her to sit down and let him cook for her is hot. Why am I straight now!? After breakfast, they take to Alex’s extremely green screened balcony slash patio, seriously just like, staggering levels of the BRIGHTEST fake background you have ever seen in your life. Was Paul aware that he talks in his sleep? Something about a…Dana? Alex assumes she is an ex girlfriend or perhaps a beloved stripper, but Paul could never have just ONE favorite stripper. “Dana was…the love of my life. She could do no wrong.” And she was…his dog was he was a kid. I…um. Hmm. Look I know how dog people are, but am I to believe that this grown ass man is still talking in his sleep about his childhood dog?? I find it sus, but because Alex and Jen Aniston are merging into one super blonde, Alex finds it charming. He tells her that he doesn’t do these weekend long sexfests often, and when she tries to call bullshit, refers to himself as a “divorced workaholic control freak.” She says that sounds very familiar, and I poke my head in from the green screened heavens to laugh. Alex is certainly a control freak, she is certainly divorced, but workaholic? Alexandra Levy? The very same woman who dipped out to Maine for 6-8 months, who left a presidential debate she was supposed to moderate in the middle of the night, who dipped out on a space flight? Workaholic? Stop playing with me!
We do learn that Alex’s horrible daughter has chosen to live in England with Mr. Michelle Gomez, so there is one mystery solved. But she made it through twenty years of marriage! That is something to celebrate, isn’t it? Even if it was over “way” before the divorce was finalized. They’re both used to being on their own, so the feelings they are starting to have for one another is freaking them out a little bit. I am so conflicted on this relationship, because I have hard time buying anything Paul is saying most of the time, but this does seem real? And frankly it would be more interesting if he actually has feelings for her than if he was playing some billionaire 3D chess. Billionaires are too dumb for chess, we know this! Paul sighs that he doesn’t want stop, and she strokes his face and smiles at him. Alex Levy is CHOOOHOO all aboard!
Hey, remember Mia and her mysterious hot photographer? Great, the show just did too! She is calling a contact in Ukraine (I think the one Bradley found) to see if her ex is still, you know, alive? It’s been two weeks since she last heard from him, and the contact is like who tf are you slash I have no idea where he is, later! This scene is mostly here to remind me and you that it is very hot when Karen Pittman speaks Russian.
Upstairs, Amanda is dropping by Stella’s office to bring her the papers of Cory’s betrayal. I probably left out that detail last week, that Paul offered Stella Cory’s job after the deal is secured? Well he did, and Stella is conflicted, but clearly quite interested. Tig as Amanda does some good work here, everything she says carries just a hint of a threat. Stella wants her team to look at the papers, and I know we are supposed to read this hesitation as indecision, that she’s stalling because she is isn’t sure what she wants to do, but I do feel like it is a good idea to have your lawyers look a giant contract from a billionaire!
Cory is forcing Bradley to listen “Kokomo” as they drive down a wide suburban street, then swing into a driveway, to Bradley’s surprise. For some reason it feels important to note that Cory is driving a Polestar, mostly because it is an electric car that is not a Tesla. No promo for Tesla on an Apple+ show! Bradley is confused that they are at a home and not an office, to which I say: really? Someone so important Cory personally has to go there and do some hand holding? Of course you aren’t going to a random New Haven office! Before the exit the car, Cory has to turn up the music and disassociate for a second. Not…a great sign, but I gotta give it to Bradley: I laughed at her reaction.
They knock on the door, and I start vibrating with excitement, wondering what absolutely bonkers famous person they found for this mystery role, and the moment I saw a bewigged Lindsay Duncan, I knew what was about to happen. “Hi Mom,” Cory says, all rueful smile as she hugs him. Bradley is watching this unfold in shock, and I get it. Who could have guessed any part of Cory came from Earth? I was going to make a joke about his father being Jodi Foster’s dad in Contact, but then I remembered that is David Morse, who is already in this show as Bradley’s dad. Bradley says “Hi!” and then the scene is over. Okay!!
In Alex’s Penthouse of Money and Sex, Paul is getting ready to leave. Apparently she told him he had to “scoot,” likely because they’ve been trapped together for anywhere between 24-48 hours. Don’t you have like, space to run my guy? But it seems Alex doesn’t want him to go, she cannot get enough of the man! But they will see each other later, at this mysterious party everyone keeps mentioning. And they should probably figure out a way to keep their hands off one another tonight, because the press won’t like it, and neither will the board. They immediately demonstrate the challenge that will present by making out before Alex pushes him out. Then, without warning, we are thrust into a romantic comedy from 2009. Alex steps out of the shower, heads to the mirror and opens her towel, taking in her naked body, twisting this way and that. “Hey there. Still works,” she says with a smirk. Once again, scene over, and once again….okay!
Lindsay Duncan and her wig are talking about uba’s SEC filings, and Cory makes a crack about her “light reading,” but wants to know what she thinks. The content library is valued rather low, isn’t it? Well that is just how the bankers play it, of course! “Media is just politics by another name,” he grins, before telling Bradley that “Mom” is a political genius. Because I am incredibly unwell, this is information I recall from season one, where we learned that Cory’s mother was a single mom prone to overwork, and he was basically her son slash stay at home wife. I am quite thrilled to dive deeper into…whatever made Cory the way he is. She tries to downplay her “consulting” work, Cory insists that she show Bradley her office. I started laughing somewhere around the time we learn that she was Geraldine Ferraro’s press secretary and I keep laughing she pins a Mondale/Ferraro pin to Bradley’s blouse and Bradley asks “are you sure? I mean, she’s such an icon.” By the time Lindsay Duncan and her wig say “You’re an icon, Bradley Jackson. True feminist.” I am on the floor, tears streaming down my face. Lindsay Duncan and her wig thank Bradley for talking about her abortion on air— so many of her generation didn’t have have a choice in the matter. “Not that I don’t love my boy…but it would have been nice to have a choice.” Jesus, lady! Cory tries to move the conversation to the reason they came to see her, but Lindsay Duncan and her wig won’t hear it. She’s got lobster, and they must wait to talk business until after dinner. But Bradley, of course, has to “do the news,” so they can’t stay. Lindsay Duncan and her wig stiffen. “I see,” she says coolly. “A short visit.” Then she excuses herself for a moment. Cory stares into the middle distance for a second, then mutters "why did you do that?” to a baffled Bradley. Ohhh this is not gonna be good, is it?
In a conference room I have never seen, Stella is looking over the offer with her team. She thinks the money is low for a CEO of a Fortune 500, but one of them tells her that they can quibble with stock offers, and with bonuses her salary will come out around 14 million. Well, it would work for me! The timeline is simple—she signs, the deal goes through, Cory is shuffled off to some dark hole in the ground, and she starts hiring and firing as she pleases. Sounds great…but what happens if she signs and the deal falls apart? In a perfect world, no one would know there was ever an offer…but this is not a perfect world and this company quite literally just got hacked. “Things would become…untenable.” Team Member #1 says. They’d find somewhere for her at uba, but not here. Not exactly the reassurance she was looking for!
Down in a basement that seems far too small for the size of the house, Lindsay Duncan and her wig are rage folding laundry. Cory pops down to coax her back upstairs, but she won’t be having it. Go ahead and leave me here to die, just like you always wanted, Lindsay Duncan and her wig scowl. Her son hasn’t come to see her in since early pandemic, after one of her friends passed away. “We played Dominos and listened to the rain.” It will be true for this whole episode, but now seems like a great time to point out how good Billy Crudup is. It’s not that his affect has changed entirely, just shifted in a way that feels like regressing into old patterns and habits. A lifetime of dealing with this woman would no doubt require you to build some defenses—or learn when to fold. This time it’s the latter, and as he heads upstairs to tell Bradley the news will have to go on without her because they are staying, Lindsay Duncan tosses one last dagger. “It’s strange—you look just like your father right now. You’re about the same age he was……when he left us.”
“We’re staying for dinner,” Cory tells a surprised Bradley, brandishing a large pot. Bradley is clearly unfamiliar with the emotional damage a WASP mother can inflict upon a person, calling this hellscape “garden variety mom shit.” She has to do the news! No one can stop her from the news!! But Cory already got Josh to cover tonight, and if she had a problem with it she can talk to HR tomorrow. But for now, there is a bottle of wine in the fridge, would she mind opening that? Man on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown coming to theaters soon!
Back in Alex’s Penthouse of Money and Sex, the woman in question is getting her hair and make up done while texting with Paul. He offers to bring bagels over for Alex and Chris, begging me to ask, once again, what time is it? Didn’t he already leave? Isn’t Cory making dinner in the Nutmeg State? Why is he offering four PM bagels? Is Chris even here? “I haven’t been to one of these things in forever,” Chris says, answering my question. Thankfully, Alex is kind of enough to pause her confusing bagel flirting to finally explain what the this event this is as layers of extensions are attached to her head. They’re raising money for FIT for…some reason? And, as Chris points out, it’s a great opportunity for a nice photo op with Paul Marks and the cast of TMS. Alex’s hackles raise when she hears her mans name, tensing as Chris talks about studies that show power changes the brain, erases empathy. Alex suggests that Chris talk to Paul about it, maybe try to get to know him a little better. She also imparts some wisdom about dealing with the “vultures” on the carpet—”Fuck em.” Chris repeats it, looking at her reflection, smiling. I like this weird little friendship that seems to have popped out of nowhere, I would to see more of it!
Before I can get too comfortable relaxing with the girlies, we are swept away to Lindsay Duncan and her wig’s House of Horrors, where she is admonishing Bradley for trying to help. Lobsters are an old family tradition—but neither Lindsay Duncan nor her wig can handle the screaming. Or the thrashing. “Cory doesn’t mind. He never has.” As we are all old friends now, I feel certain you know all know my greatest passion is mean older women, so you have to know I watched this episode filled with glee and horror. Quite literally everything this woman says is straight up nuts! To insist on having lobster regularly while also making such a big deal about killing them that Cory had to do it, and then you made him feel bad for it? That is frankly masterful work. I mean, terrifying, but still!
And she is not done torturing her son, as she asks Bradley what happened between her and Laura Peterson. Bradley explains that her mom passed away and they had a rough go of it, but they just decided they are gonna give it another go. Lindsay Duncan and her wig are thrilled to hear it— though a part of them hoped that Cory had brought her here as a date. Cory is about four seconds from throwing himself into the pot with the lobsters, but manages to insist that he and Bradley are colleagues and that he thought they would have a lot to talk about. Lindsay Duncan and her wig just wishes he would bring someone home, she’s never met a single woman he’s dated! Gee, I can’t imagine why! Imagine having this woman (and her wig) as a mother in law?
Finally it’s time to go to The Big Event, which I have to assume is taking place in a sensory deprivation tank? Yanko is being interviewed about the hack by some reporter, and I can barely hear what he is saying, I am so distracted by the inky blackness behind them. Are they inside? Are they on a set at uba? I assumed when I watched the screeners that they would add…something to background to confirm that this event is taking place on terrestrial earth, but alas. Oh, also Yanko could explain his “proclivity for women who are predominantly, uh, Slavic in origin,” but his life is his own, and he won’t be doing that today. Yanko is lowkey the weirdest and saddest person on this show, isn’t he? Chris explains to a stunning Black woman who is interviewing her that this event is in partnership with Valentino, supporting FIT’s scholarship program. I cannot figure out, for the life of me why this would be the event they are hosting, but that’s pretty usual for this show. Remember Alex’s season one Broadway fundraiser?
The interviewer wants to know how Chris feels about uba post Sybil, are they making changes? Pay equity goals being reached? Chris basically says no, but that she has faith that they will do the right thing. Both the interviewer and I are skeptical about that, but Alex has arrived, so we must move on. Yes, she is wearing a straight up recreation of Jen Aniston’s 2010 Golden Globes dress, of course it is black, of course her hair is in loose beachy waves, and of course she looks stundralina. She does a little promo for her interview with Paul— she did not take it easy on him, she assures “Patrick.” Then the man himself arrives, also in black and the crowd trapped in black void demands a photo of the two of them. Alex didn’t think he would be in a tie unless he was in a coffin, but he’s actually planning on being composted. EL OH EL. Then he growls “You look fucking amazing” to her, and I again curse myself for being straight. Alex pulls Chris in for a photo of the three of them so she can stop herself from throwing herself at Paul. Fair enough!
Stella is watching the coverage from a control room, so I guess they are at uba, which is fully insane— why would they not go to real location?? Mia comes in to tell her that Josh is ready to go on at six thirty, which throws me for another time related loop, but Stella is too distracted by her meeting to plan any news stuff right now, which Mia clocks. “What’s up Stel?” STEL! A little nickname! They are too cute, I love them!! Stella confesses about the offer, that it would mean no more Cory— does Mia want to run the news division? But for the most part, Cory has been good to her, and Stella can’t quite fathom stabbing him in the back. There are only so many jobs at the top, Mia reasons, and they don’t give them up willingly. There is a giant screen featuring Paul’s face behind Mia’as she talks, and it s very distracting and also deeply unsubtle. He’s looming! We get it! Stella is trying to decide if she wants to be like the white men who hold all the power, and Mia tells her that the only difference is they let the ghosts torment them—the white men don’t. She leaves Stella with that thought as Jessie Ware’s “Free Yourself” takes us back to the event taking place in the void.
Alex has a quick chat with Pierpaolo Piccioli, Valentino’s actual creative director, thanking him for his cameo, then flutters off to gossip with Chris and her husband. Chris reports that Yanko’s date canceled last minute, and I could not fight the laugh that erupted as Alex goes “Is that the same girl? Oh God, poor guy.” How many times do you have to get stood up that your co-workers know about it? MORTIFYING! Alex spots Paul barking on his phone and excuses herself to talk to him. The Vault, my favorite fake outlet, has a photo of them on Alex’s balcony all snuggled up. These are like, drone shots, who the hell is funding the Vault? “Fucking Vault. They’re the ones who outed Bradley,” Alex mutters. This is the first time Alex has ever mentioned Bradley The Bisexual, which is just funny to me. Paul thinks they have two options, releasing statement confirming that they are dating and happy. Alex makes noises of distress and says they can’t—the board! So option two is money. Pay them for the pictures and bury em. Good luck!
Stella still hasn’t made it to the party, it seems, too distracted by the offer to go hang with her colleagues. She’s on the phone, telling someone on her team to go back on deal points and that this opportunity is too big to let pass her by when she sees Kate talking to security. Stella looks…rather stricken to see her ex slash BFF, and when Kate blurts out that she got fired from Hyperion after 12 years, she looks even MORE stricken. They go back to Stella’s office, where Kate explains that she had a “philosophical disagreement” with Paul, and then the next day her badge stopped working. Kate’s seen the promo for Alex, Unfiltered and she correctly surmises the deal is happening. Stella is…acting real cagey, assuring Kate that the deal has been lawyered out the ass, that if there was anything to find out about Paul they would have found it. But Kate isn’t buying it.
She knows he offered Stella something, or else she wouldn’t be covering for him. “This is how you are with him. This is how you are always gonna be with him. He owns you, you just can’t fucking see it.” OUCH! Stella throws it right back in her face, telling Kate that she got herself fired, and she has to deal with it. Kate reminds her that she was the one in the ER as Stella got her stomach pumped, praying that she would make it, and Stella’s response was to stop talking to her. "I have no fucking clue why I am still trying to help you. You will always choose him.” Props to Natalie Morales for making this character who appeared literally one second ago feel grounded and real!
Lindsay Duncan and her wig are dining al fresco with Bradley and Cory, spinning a yarn about a young shy and friendless Cory, and how she told him everyday that he was better and smarter than the people who were destined to become middle managers. Bradley surmises that she must be proud of her son, and when the wig nods in agreement, Bradley decides this is the time to bring up the whole “stop calling the DOJ” thing. Cory looks panicked and annoyed, but tries to gently tell his mother than she’s hurting their deal, not helping it. “Well, I hope I haven’t messed anything up,” she says tremulously, winding up for a tantrum. Then she stands, “Look at this table…what a mess.” She and her wig vanish into the house, as Cory collapses into himself and Bradley tries to figure out what the fuck just happened. Welcome to WASP emotional terrorism Bradley! It’s a real hoot!
In the kitchen, Lindsay Duncan and her wig are going full “no wire hangers” as she does dishes, trying to take a platter of roasted potatoes from Cory that of course falls to the floor and shatters. She starts muttering that older women are ignored, that all her son wants is for her to “be silent and quiet as a grave.” Cory just stands there, taking it in, clearly used to it, then walks out and…a piano starts playing? Yes, they have given Billy Crudup ANOTHER unhinged duet, this time “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.” I will give them props for their harmonies, though it does make one wonder how many times they have done this. In some ways it is charming, but in others….kinda scary. Bradley tears up, thinking about her own mother, and Cory apologizes for not being there when she passed. Lindsay Duncan and her wig gear up for another fit of insanity, warning Bradley that Cory is managing her, that he manages everyone and he’s always acting like he cares, but he doesn’t. “He is alone because he should be alone. I know, because I have tried and tried and tried with him.” Cory barely reacts to this, barely reacts as she tells him she wants him to leave, telling his mother and her wig that he cares about her and always will. She tells him he is only there because he needs something, and that there is something very wrong with him. “You really are just like your father.” She hisses, the one thing that makes Cory actually look up with hurt in his eyes. GOOD LORD!!!!!!!!!
Weirdly, I have seen some internet chatter that Cory, like deserves this? That his mother is right? And sure, it is deeply possible I am too far gone down the rabbit hole on this show, and my love for this mommy issues maniac, but I really don’t see anything here other than a nightmare mother torturing her son? When it comes to morals and bad deeds on this show, Cory has done one actually bad thing— outing Bradley. And obviously it sucks to be outed, but also…nothing actually happened to her because of it, aside from some tweets? I’m not saying it’s good, or that anyone should do it, but if you want that to matter, you gotta show me some repercussions! Is it really worse than letting your brother get off the hook for domestic terrorism and also ignoring the fact that, despite what he says, he clearly believed in the cause enough to go and using that footage to get yourself a job? I don’t think so! Sure, he’s a dick, and sure he’s used Hal to get Bradley to go to space, but Bradley did make him culpable for a federal crime! Sorry, I love my mommy issues king!
The conversation Bradley and Cory have in the car pretty much proves my point. Bradley asks if she said stuff like to him when he was a kid, and his response is that she’s been through a lot, that none appreciates the work she’s done. AKA: Yes. Bradley tries to tell him that they’re friends, and they can talk about this but he snaps that they’re just two people who use each other. Harsh, but kinda true! Bradley pushes back, but he doesn’t have it in him to fight her on it. Then her cell buzzes. “Oh my god—they’re overturning Roe!?”
Yes, they are, and yes, the news has managed to hit the void where the Valentino party is taking place. Alex, Chris and Mia are already trying to figure out what their shows are going to look like tomorrow in light of this news, with Alex dipping to go prep. In the hall, Amanda is telling Paul that she cannot bury the photo of him and Alex. He wants to buy the company to bury it, anything to stop the gossip, he pays her to fix things, why isn’t she fixing this?? Amanda doesn’t budge, telling him: “You pay me to tell you the truth. Pull your pants up and get your fucking head on straight.” This is why you hire a dyke in a suit!
We are treated to long shot of Chris…peeing for some reason, maybe to open our eyes to how hard it is to pee in formalwear? Then she tells the various models and influencers in the bathroom about Roe, becoming more and more furious as they all are like “Eh, whatever, we live in New York.” Chris rages about the black and brown people who will be affected by this, and the bathroom clears out in a hurry. Then she writes “ABORT THE COURT” on the mirror in lipstick and takes a selfie, flipping it off. I am thrilled to see more of Chris, but why must she be The Issues™ Girlie??
Cory is back in his office, trying and failing to get his cufflinks in his shirt when Stella walks in. They talk about the SCOTUS news, both of them nervvy and on edge for wildly different reasons. Stella watches him struggle with his cufflinks, then tells him she has one more thing to discuss. “Can it…fucking wait a second?” he barks, still fussing with the cufflink. When she tries to help he’s like NO! I don’t need help or a mother, I am a BIG BOY and I can do it all by myself!!!! She helps him anyway, and asks if he likes his job. Like it? He LOVES it, even dreams about being at the office! Oh buddy. Stella then confesses that Paul offered her his job. Billy Crudup hits us with another perfect line reading, laughing as he exclaims “This day, it is full of surprises!: Another emotional blow for Cory today, I fear! But he wants her to agree to take it—wants to see what happens. Paul offered her the job because he thinks he can manipulate Stella. “It won’t be the first time you were underestimated around here.” Once again I say: Cory is my KING!
Stephen Fry is waiting for Cory when he heads down to the party, still getting on his ass about Lindsay Duncan and her wig. It is the last straw for Cory today, and despite that fact that Stephen Fry is like, a foot taller than he is, Cory gets right in his face, telling him to back the fuck up. “Fred and Cybil didn’t get the memo, and their heads are on pikes in the armoire in my office where I keep my extra shirts.” KING! KING! KING! He gets on the elevator to have “a canapé or two” and tells Stephen Fry to take the stairs. KING!
La Levy saunters back to her office, the slit on her dress working OVERTIME and I thank her for it. Chip is already in there, pulling quotes from RGB and making jokes about how Alex will have to change her name to “Of Chip” HAR HAR HAR. He leaves, and Paul comes in to apologize that he has to go to Texas, and she has to DO JOURNALISM and there is no time to discuss the photo! Everything is happening so fast, but they are both down for the ride—probably because they cannot stop making out??? Meanwhile, Chip gets a call from Mia, who is like hey can you go back to Alex’s office to get your heart broken as you see her kissing another man? He does, “Monday, Monday” starts blaring, and I laugh and laugh.
Inexplicably Famous Guest Stars, Ranked:
Lindsay Duncan (and her wig): 14/10 Literal perfection, I have simply NO notes!
NECKLACE WATCH
I am glad Bradley had a talisman of safety for her afternoon of terror!
I came here specifically for the commentary on the absolute monster that cory's mother was for providing lobster for dinner, and then making him feel bad for preparing it for them? like that is some next level toxicity. also, I am hoping to somehow manifest the stockard channing guest spot.
Ahahaha also someone who laughed at Chip's face here
