    A mess but somewhat entertaining

    This season hasn't lived up to the perfection of season 1. The characters are annoying too often and the messages are heavy-handed and aren't showing enough angles about complex social issues. But at least Bradley finally had an episode that made her interesting again. Her freaking out over being "outed" showed a human side to her instead of the entitled brat we saw for the first few episodes.

    I still feel like season 2 is missing the mark overall, but I enjoyed this episode even though Alex wasn't in it (and Alex is by far the best character this season).

    Give reese witherspoon her emmy already!

    Almost everything was bad in the episode except bradley storyline with laura Her acting was so on point and very real.

    I hate that the show became about politics rather than a drama show!!

    Season one of involved politics but in a very clever way not this season where politics is so forced and promoted and woke agenda.. This season is so cold from actors to the plot.

    Everything got messy and pointless.. Mia and stella are very annoying I really cannot stand them.

    Lessons to be learned

    This episode is a great example of how tv makes robots out of people The network really should have their peoples back It's a family It's a tribe But that doesn't always happen They care more about the money.

    They should of had the weather mans back!

    Woke Broke

    Oh yah another show sidestepping their way into the "woke" graveyard, it should NOT matter if you are black, Asian, white, purple or gay we all bleed red.. what has happened to people just being people without having to identify as "oppressed" trust me NOBODY in the US is oppressed.. try going to a country outside of the US and let's talk about that..

    Sinking Fast

    This episode was yet another mess, with no Jennifer Aniston in sight, Cory feeling down but still being a snake, Chip feeling like a 5th wheel, Yanko still aggravated, and yet more crises to to deal with. We get even more characters parachuted in, like a substitute weatherman, Bradley's brother, and Dave Foley as a retread UBS personality. Of course we still haven't figured out what a bunch of other minor characters are supposed to be doing. Nothing much seems to be progressing or becoming even slightly more clear. It's like a plate of spaghetti that was dropped on the floor. I'm unsure if this thing can be saved.

    • Trivia
      The events in this episode were originally intended to take place in the same episode as the ones in La Amara Vita (2021). However, budget concerns and other challenges ultimately forced the show runners to split them into two separate episodes.
    • Goofs
      There is an incorrect reference to Groucho Marx's 130th birthday. Though born in 1890, Marx's birthday is October 2 and the show is clearly set in the early COVID days of February 2020.
    • Quotes

      Bradley Jackson: My family is not like yours.

      Laura Peterson: Don't cut me off. And stop assuming that there's only one path to fucking up your kids. But you're not a kid anymore. Fuck-up kids have an excuse. Fucked-up adults get therapy. Fucked-up adults change their circumstances.
