    More Stacie, finally!

    Outstanding, hilarious scenes from Akosua Amo-Adem as Stacie. I haven't loved this season, something seems off with the writing and characters- maybe they just started running out of ideas? Still, seeing Stacie's character develop has been one of the highlights.

    Best episode of the season

    This #KCSeason5 episode was probably the funniest in the season. I totally related with Janet/Jung, Loved the Appa/Gerald/Umma scenes, but really thought Kimchee/Stacie/Gwen stole the episode.

    I have a podcast dedicated to Kim's Convenience called "What You Talking" where we breakdown the specifics of everything. This episode had all the elements of what makes Kim's Convenience a great show.

    • the brother/sister dynamic was flawless, handled with humor and heart
    • Appa/Umma/Gerald was fresh even though its been done over many episodes already
    • Stacie/Kimchee/Gwen was superb, probably my favourite arc this episode


    Kudos to the cast, crew, writers, creators and everyone involved

    Watch out for that bathtub

    Solid laughs as Umma and Appa grapple with the bathtub, the Janet storyline was kind of forced and didn't lend itself to many laughs.

      Kimchee Han: I'm not stalking. I'm just checking out a friend's website.

      Stacie: Along with all her social media accounts.

      Kimchee Han: They're links on her website! Is that a crime?

      Stacie: No, but it's evidence.
