Jerry 2.0

Really good-- the emotions that Toby and Miguel share at a most awkward bachelor party. Very nice that Beth was there to let Rebecca feel "Normal" for a moment, maybe not many of those moments left. Nicky, a sad, adorably crotchety, precious little booger!

As I saw the title for this episode, I was wondering who the heck Jerry was. Is he a character I missed along the way. Of course, as the guys all get together for a bachelor's party (like no other), we find out that it is the movie "Jerry Maguire" which was always Kevin's favorite, going back to family trips to the cabin. But, as we go through this, we realize that the issues in the movie (which I a long time ago and don't have any serious connections to) are issues that are in Kevin's head, especially after Sophie comes barging back. There is a great deal of conflict. First of all, Toby is disintegrating and full of angst. Miguel is totally fixated on his absent wife and her condition, Nicky is combative and nutty. Randall is the calm one who pushes the envelope, getting people to talk. We have flashbacks to an earlier trip to the cabin after Jack is gone. We see the brash Kevin, pushy and self centered. Everyone has issues to deal with. Heading for the finale.

And others are two people who write their love story to be written in the stars."

and there it is the gist of this episode. Kevin has to figure it out, where his love story with Madison stands. I just wish Sophie would leave him alone, I never liked her character: now I know why. I hope he makes the right decision in the finale. Nicky,love him, but he sure knows how to put his foot in it XD. Good juxtaposition with the Jerry Maguire movie and what's going on with Kevin. The Rebecca and Beth scenes ave me so may feels wish we got to see more of them like that. 1 more episode til the season ends. Let's see what happens.

The writers probably should have left Covid out of the present day storyline. It's become distracting. The common incorrect use of mask wearing and random comments of being tested or vaccinated before characters see each other is distracting and unnecessary. Zero reason to incorporate Covid (Beth having to close her studio is the only time it was involved in the story). I wish they'd either have used it more to guide the characters or just left it out. Since they filmed scenes of the past with no issue, they really didn't need to distract the viewers who are trying to escape from reality for an hour.

This episode was nothing but good!

Everything was so raw and genuine. Miguel's words about love and stars were heartwarming. The half naked painting was the only cringey part for me tho.

Can't believe only 1 episode left for the season to end. I'm already missing this show!

It's not fair, we really need this warmth in our life at least once a week :(
