I loved the bits of Tom's backstory that they shared. Not thrilled about the Mother's depiction, but I guess it does track with women of her generation caring more about appearances and politeness than truth and openess (or sticking up for their kids).

The action was a little more fun and some very cute inventions, although the exposed eyebrows were a little sus given the backstory (when you know you know). And honestly would have loved to see an addition to the humor perhaps with Zenzi burning her wig off because of the acid, because nothing happening was just silly (Not the only continuity issue with the show, and definitely a problem with the CW shows).

Shocking RACISM

I cannot believe what I heard.

What would happen if the word Black was replaced by White?

Claire Cormier (Not Black): What will it take for you to make me permanent CEO?

Lorraine Swift (Black): You will never be CEO of Swift Enterprises.

Claire: I'm Barton's #2. I've given my life to this company.

Lorraine: You're a caretaker. Barton would never leave our Black family's legacy to someone who isn't Black.

So, skin colour is more important than ability? Is this "equity"?
