So I didn't call the becky butler twist but the Cinda one was evident waaaay early in the ep. So either I watch too much stuff and predicted the formula or this show isn't as subtle as it thinks.
That art of Mabel was stunning!
Fiona Apple tied it all together so exquisitely!
Really enjoyed the character development.... (Or, appreciated)
• -"I hope that you charge rent to the people inside your head. You'd make a fortune." - I need to start telling myself that because that was a great line.
• I really liked that the main trio was split into their own storylines this episode, it was a refreshing change.
• The elevator scene was absolutely hilarious. The way Howard eats everyone up in this show when he only has two minutes screen time is remarkable.
• I'm glad Mabel isn't giving Alice another chance. I don't get why the confrontation between her and Alice wasn't ... confrontational. No discussion about why or what the f**k at all? I really hope this was the last we'll see of Alice, but since she knew about the Oklahoma podcast I'm pretty sure we're stuck with her for one more episode. Ugh!
• "All European countries are essentially the same." - Yanks are the WORST! :face_vomiting:
• I think the Cinda thing is a mislead. So, we are supposed to believe the person that said, "You're letting all the loud air in" is our criminal mastermind? Not buying it. Kreps deliberately says he landed, "the smartest woman in the world" because Cinda clearly is not that smart, just ruthless.
• Not me trying to remember who the f**k is Becky Butler. Ops. Why did Poppy tell Mabel that she's actually Becky Butler? Was it an emotional outburst or was it calculated? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
• Why does Bunny have the painting and not Rose?! How did she get the painting? And even she didn’t know about the painting underneath the original why would she get a copy made in the first place? Is it a coincidence that Bunny hid it there and Mrs Gambolini was destined to go to Oliver after her death? We are 9 episodes in and I still don’t understand why anyone would want to kill Bunny.
• Season 2 is throwing too much into the plot. It's become a jumbled mess.
whait who is becky butler???
the artist. the legend. the brillant. the myth: SHIRLEY MACLAINE!
I just love this show!! So refreshing and different, I can laugh and then cry and then be immerse in my thoughts…I hope we get a season 3 =)
Michael Rapaport is so funny.
Oh how I miss Nathan Lane being in more things.
Aren't we square at this point? You send me to jail. I fuck your wife.. His delivery is always so perfect. Love him
I'm so happy Selena finally is getting some decent material for her character.
And Martin Short got better writing as well. Very few cheap laughs and a lot more depth. He can deliver on everything, though.
And the painting, I loved the painting! Very touching scene.
Rappaport can be hit or miss for me, but he's well used here, and I like the dynamic he has with Gomez. Hilarious episode, though what a heartbreaking turn for Oliver.

Without saying anything, thought the show might be going in this direction from the start but wasn't sure. Still loved this episode, and this season. This show just works for me.
