Season 4, Episode 2
10/10
Thelma got to me (once again)
18 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This episode is essentially the aftermath of James' funeral. Everything is well done, except for the unneeded "Wanda" character, which they started adding to a few episodes at the end of season 3. Wanda's fake crying was stupid, annoying and completely unfunny. I would have taken a couple of points off my rating, just for this. However, everything else was done well enough to make up for it. The Evans kids wonder why Florida is not crying. Thelma cries, and even trembles, while her mother scolds her for doing so. Bern Nadette Stanis must have put her heart and soul into this scene. You could see real tears. She got me emotional, too! She also cries even more when she opens up to JJ. This wasn't the first time that she let JJ see what was inside of her. Powerful stuff. The ending is also powerful. The kids finally understand what's going on with their mother.
