The memory of it still sends a shiver down my spine.

Remember also how Che christened Miranda with the nickname Rambo and Miranda started using it?

Im very happy to see everyone deservedly getting some.

Like, why doesAnd Just Like That …have to come so hard for me right off the bat?

Fingers crossed that its the former.

Thats not to say it has solved all its problems.

regarding her new L.A. outlook on life?

It feels very old-school Miranda Hobbes.

In all fairness to her, the theme is Veiled Beauty and she is owning that.

See?Fun!And the whole running gag about Anthony being someones plus-one only to continually get ditched?

Thats a good time, right?

No one is dying after a Peloton ride!

We are having a good time this season!

But onAnd Just Like That …it just feels more glaring.

She has very little to do.

(It does make for a fabulous shot of Nicole Ari Parker and Chris Jackson crossing the street.)

Her gold ensemble and metal mask are my favorite look of the episode.

None of these story lines is bad, per se, but they are flimsy.

That, at least, shows some character development and forward momentum.

While she seems super-interested (did you not hear about the sex montage?

), she lets Toussaint know shes married.

Nya basically breaks things off right there.

Maybe its just a premiere issue were getting reoriented to the large ensembles current whereabouts, emotionally speaking.

And we havent even gotten to Los Angeles yet.

Its true, I 100 percent buried the lede here.

I cant tell yet.

Or I hate it.

It does seem like thats where were headed.

Thats a nice thought!

Anthonys response: Hey, Im really enjoying listening to your podcast,Rich Peoples Problems.

She tries to be more Samantha: How big is his dick?

And then more Miranda: If you sleep with someone at work, you are giving away your power!

Its a big morning for them both.
