Not satisfying, but well told.

Never more have I hated the wife and felt for the husband since Ozark, like I do here. Ev is a hypocritical, narcissistic victim playing egoist and I rejoiced and I wanted her to lose everything she selfishly loved since the beginning. Phil is right, she can only love herself, and loves Charlotte only cause she sees her as an extension of herself. She immediately goes back to her dumb cello lucid dream and the instructor she wants to nail. She will always be the person who is never satisfied...wants Phil to completely bend over to support her stupid dreams while she complains and cribs her way along half-assedly supporting what Phil wants to acheive for the family, all the while calling Phil a controlling manipulator. Phil actually tried to support her dumb career, until her dumb career made him lose his daughter, which gave him severe PTSD whenever the poor man saw her playing the cello. Sadly, in real life these women always find a simp to enable their narcissistic tendencies and treat them like the queen they think they are. Phil was no simp, thankfully but the poor man still lost so much because of this holier than thou self serving Landry family. The only characters worth rooting for are the brothers Phil and Andy. Their mom is just like Eve and cannot offer a shred of support when she sees her child in pain, and comes along gleefully to reap the rewards of his hard work. Andy is probably the most supportive gem of a character, and Phil's only fault is sometimes not treating him with the kindness and respect he deserves.

I felt it was a huge gamble for Phil to first tell Ev and subsequently send her to the past using Plan B. And lo and behold, after 7 years the woman still plays the victim and can only see how Phil hurt her (her imagination mostly), she has found another guy who enables her childish ambitions and she still isn't content and wants to humiliate an unsuspecting Philip (from her POV). If she was truly happy as she said, she wouldn't feel like she haaad to tell this version of Phil about her hurt and stuff. Phil sadly still chooses the wrong type of woman (I guess that's the type dominant in America nowadays). Phil was surprised when Pat told him about the Keas exec but knew the name Charlotte. Maybe he remembered from 7 years ago when Ev attacked him, or maybe he also looped along with Ev, but to a prior date? I dunno.
