In this episode, Julia and the sisters meet another sister, Rivka. Rivka asks Julia about the Bechley family history and for stories about the family. Unfortunately, Julia doesn't know any family stories as her father was never open with her. Determined to get answers, Julia approaches her father, Leon, to find out about the Bechley family. At the same time, Julia discovers that she wants to eventually have kids, only to find out that Donovan, whom she is dating, doesn't. Meanwhile, Edie struggles to balance her affair with Amanda and her marriage with Tim. Tim is starting to get suspicious, and Amanda is growing impatient. Lastly, Roxy is forced to confront her past as she becomes more invested in teaching gymnastics. This episode perfectly exemplifies why I love this show so much. Each character is complex in a way that feels real and authentic. The three leads have amazing chemistry and act like real sisters. Edie probably has the most complex journey in this episode, and seeing what she goes through is heartbreaking for everyone involved. Also, the moments between Julia and Leon are really great. It was great to see a deeper side of Leon. Even though Leon is clearly problematic, it is nice that he is presented as a real person and not pure evil. Julia also has a nice little arc. It is cute to see her reconnect with her father after everything that has happened up to this point and how that reflects her own desire to become a mother someday. Brittany Snow is such a fantastic actor and was the perfect person to play Julia. She does such a great job portraying someone who is dealing with multiple issues at once, and the way she balances the tragic and comedic aspects of the story is fantastic. Lastly, the costumes on this show are amazing, and everyone, especially Brittany, looks incredible in every scene. I rewatch this show all the time and would recommend it to anyone for Brittany's performance alone.
