One of the best of the season so far. Drama, emotion and laughs too. The show finally seemed to build up to something and give us a glimpse to how it will all end up.

In order to get to the future we need to understand the past
solojere26 November 2021
Emily tries to celebrate her father's birthday with an old-fashioned family singalong, but it devolves into another battle in the Dickinson's civil war. This was a better sweet episode. There are some cute Suemily moments. And Lavinia is hilarious. She seriously needs more screen time. Also, I love hearing Hailee sing. Seeing Emily and her brother reconnect during her song was really amazing. But it also made what transpires afterward feel even more tragic. Also, the Michel Jordan joke was lame. But I like the idea stated in this episode that "In order to get to the future, we need to understand the past." I think that is a pretty good summary of the show and how it relates to modern audiences.

I don't even know what they want us to feel about Sue

It seems like every episode Sue is a different person. This isn't the fault of Ella Hunt, who is really giving it her all out here. All of the conflicts given to Sue are just so awkwardly worked in and contradictory. Previously, Sue pushed Emily to publish her poetry instead of just giving it all to Sue, because she wanted the world to see Emily's poetry and she didn't have the emotional strength to be the sole bearer of Emily's soul anymore. And in this episode, she gets mad at Emily for sending a poem to someone else for review. Doesn't make sense.

Also "I'm still his wife, he has to do what I say." girl? Since when? Austin hasn't been doing what you say since mid-season 2. That's like the major point of contention this season. Why would you say that? Why would you believe that your drunkard adultering husband will agree to go to a singalong for his estranged father's birthday just because you want him to? Girl?

I like Sue. Or, I want to like Sue. I loved her in season one. Season two was a weird time for her. Season three feels like an identity crisis the writers don't want to acknowledge. It's like by giving in and giving us the now drama-free romance between Emily and Sue, they don't know what else to give us when it comes to her. It's just awkward every time she's in a scene.
