I have no interest in the restaurant business and I'm the kind of person who can be just as happy eating at Chipotle as a five-star restaurant, but this show does such a good job with the drama of the business that I'm totally engrossed.
It reminds me of the best seasons of 24, where everything is a mad rush to achieve some supremely important goal. Except Jack Bauer is trying to keep LA from being nuked. It's harder to convince us that the success of Carmen Bearzatto's restaurant has the same urgency, but they pull it off.
So what were those calls from Donna's nurse? No doubt she attempted suicide. If she'd succeeded, we'd probably have gotten confirmation in this episode rather than a cliffhanger. Here's hoping...
PS, Carmen couldn't have gotten trapped in the fridge, there would be a release button on the inside.
