What a wonderful episode filled with hilarious and cringe moments (in a good way). Gene's storyline is getting interesting. I like that he's trying his hardest to redeem himself by buying a house for his son. And that dinner scene tho... that was the definition of cringe, it was so awkward and uncomfortable. I really feel like gene's apology was sincere, but I also understand why his ex hasn't forgiven him. Amazing scene!
Barry's scenes were somehow able to top gene's. In a hilarious scene, Barry gets advice from hank and cristobal on how to get sally to see the "real him." This leads to him going to Sally's house, and he ends up describing the various ways he could psychologically torture the lady who cancelled Sally's show. Barry's monologue had me dying of laughter but also made me extremely uncomfortable at the same time. That's the thing I love about this show, it can make you feel awkward and laugh simultaneously.
Speaking of sally, she surprisingly wasn't that insufferable in this episode. Apart from the scene when she went to the coffee shop looking for attention, I actually felt really bad for her. No one deserves to have their show cancelled after 12 hours, no matter how bad it is. The woman in charge explains that she decides to cancel shows based on an arbitrary algorithm. I bet this is how the heads of Netflix decided to cancel The OA and Archive 81 lol. By the way, sally kicking Barry out of her house was completely justified. Although Barry's monologue was hilarious, from her perspective he sounded like a lunatic.
Cristobal's wife comes to town, and at the same time, cops decide to raid the heroin base. This leads to a hysterical scene where both groups attack the base at once, all while one of NoHo hank's men films it. Cristobal's wife also finds out that he's in a relationship with hank. Welp, both of them are screwed. I have a bad feeling about where this storyline is headed. Will cristobal betray his wife, or his boyfriend?
Overall, this is an excellent episode that manages to progress the plot in all 4 storylines equally. Not a single second wasted, every scene was fantastic! 9/10.
