Analysis of Rehearsal and Connor's Wedding in Terms of Their Titles
29 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Rehearsal as a title for the second episode seemed like the perfect choice after I watched that episode, but after watching this and thinking about it for weeks I realized how the title Rehearsal connects so well to the title of this episode: Connor's Wedding.

Rehearsal, as the title states, may have the largest set-ups in this show's history. We have been seeing how Tom, Greg and Logan relation have been developing, how Roman and Logan started to get closer and how Gerri was about to get fired. We have been seeing the plans of the trio to develop in a way that plans to go behind dad, again. We have also been seeing Connor and Willa's wedding plans and how fragile the roots of this wedding are. It feels like it is going to fail because the rehearsal of that plan had not gone well in that second episode.

But then... Logan dies. Everything that went according to the rehearsal fails, this is a disastrous wedding where everything that was building up in the rehearsal fails except the one thing that was supposed to fail: Connor's Wedding. Connor and Willa find a stronger bond in this mess of a situation, meaning that everything in the Rehearsal did go sideways. These two episodes together make up one of the best episodes of TV because of how well they complement each other. The set up fails in style and also in the best possible way.
