Absolutely no one is giving Jo any slack since she arrived home from her harrowing space journey.
And no one is listening to her!
She saw a body, damn it!
Did no one here have Twitter during Me Too?
The only other woman in power seems hellbent on silencing Jo … perhaps becauseshe is the dead body?!
Its all just so wild.
But lets start at the beginning, shall we?
Yet again, we check in with present-day Alice and Jo at the top of the episode.
Space is crazy, yall.
When a reporter asks her what caused the accident, Frederic cuts her off, mansplaining what she saw.
Throw the whole man away, I say!
Rude space bro aside, theres definitely a cover up afoot.
Frederic doesnt seem to know exactly what hes covering up, but hes definitely trying to silence Jo.
Maybe its a power move since she doesnt want to have anything to do with him.
Instead, Jo truly loves her husband, Magnus.
An interdimensional love triangle is born, but I know who Im rooting for in this one.
(Hint: Its Magnus.)
But first, Jo has to admit that she never saw a body floating in space.
Irena is particularly keen to dismiss this notion, and she attacks Jos mental state.
Jo lies and says no.
We all know shes fully thinking about Paul here, right?
Henry bobs through this episode like a kid in a candy store.
Hes got his magical canister back, and hes seeing some stuff!
So he has to trace it by hand.
We also check in with Henrys brother Bud on his cruise ship to hell.
Its fun to watch Banks play unhinged and indignant.
He needs a friendly, knowing ear.
So, as he asks for help, he simultaneously pushes the guy away from him.
Its a classic depression move.
But Bud goes a bit too far and shoves the dude right off the edge of the ship.
At the same time, Henry sees Irenas face morph from her lovely complexion into a desiccated corpse.
Bud is going homicidal bananas, Irena is dying of lymphoma (hey!
That reporter dude said that would happen!
), and Henry is scribbling circles on computer screens.
And Jo has clearly experienced what they experienced, but she doesnt have anyone else to talk to.
Alice is already starting to feel disconnected from her mother.
Flash forward to the snowiest day, and Alice confronts her mother about all of this nonsense.
First, she gently suggests that maybe Jo is having problems because of her time in space.
People who have been to space have been known to see things that arent there, right?
Jo agrees but misses the point.
She admits that she doesnt think Alice is her daughter, but Alice has a zinger for her non-mom.
Its great to finally see Alice stand up for herself against the increasingly erratic Jo in the blizzard timeline.
Just something to think about as we wait for the next episode.
Im betting that shes going to take him up on that offer real soon.
Pauls wife is named Erica, not Rita.
Why arent any of the other astronauts experiencing weird inconsistencies in their realities?
This is a question that Id very much like answered at some point in time.
There was an alarm!
I went back to the first episode and checked!
I need to get a handle on this stuff, or my brain is going to explode.
