Final Thoughts

We have a dinner and Richard, but we do not talk about the maids.

Kirk is Jesus. I’m counting it as a carpenter job.

This episode was tough from the get-go. Lorelei uninvited from Christmas and then the heart-attack.  Your heart breaks for them all.  Panic makes us lash out in different was. Guilt, Anger, Sadness. These are all very real reactions to tragedy. I think the episode does a number on us with the flaws of each character.  We get to see real, raw emotion from Emily and Lorelei.  I love the unspoken moment with Richard and Lorelei at the end though.  

Overall I give this 3 out of 5 Plaid Bow-Ties for pain and heartache.
