Well, Ill be up-front: This recap has turned into a Connie Britton stan account.
Its been leaning that way sinceDear Edwardspilot episode, but theres no way around it now.
When she drops that hard-F in front of an infant and says, Excuse me, sorry, baby?
I mean, I had to tell him a thousand times not to refer to them as the gays.
That doesnt make any sense?
Her face when she doesnt understand why its funny that she has called someone else entitled?
But Britton is really stealing the show.
In lesser hands, Dee Dee would be a caricature.
After heading to L.A. to figure out what her husband was up to, she is reeling.
His condo is a fully lived-in space with record albums all over and a bathroom full of toothbrushes.
She learns he was a beloved volunteer at the youth center.
Out here, he went by Charlie.
He considered L.A. home.
There are pictures of him with a man that could point to something romantic.
She is hurting and angry.
She feels beyond betrayed.
Dee Dee talks about how when she and Charles met, they had nothing but each other.
They were a team.
She loved the life they built.
She loved it so much that maybe she put blinders on to keep the dream of it real.
She doesnt have those blinders on anymore.
And when you have a profound breakthrough like that, whats left to do but smash things?
), and theres another great pairing in this episode: Adriana and Kojo.
Adriana Washington is running for Congress, folks.
Kojo is so proud.
He is also uniquely situated to help Adriana with her other problem: Her toilet is acting up.
Of course, hes going to help her with that.
And of course, he and Becks are going to help her get those signatures.
Although the plane crash is never too far from the focus ofDear Edward, is it?
Adriana is choking down tears and trying to be there for this little girl in any way she can.
It is a quietly moving story line poised to get pretty complicated in the near future.
And what of that boy who survived?
Maybe its just me?
Maybe he just needs a haircut?
Its probably that last thing.
The two of them sneak into Manhattan and head to the museum to find more clues about this girl.
Edward keeps pressing Shay about her dad and why he doesnt live with them.
Hes clinging to Shay for dear life!
But the days drama isnt over.
Its unnerving to see that all thats left of his family fit into the back of this truck.
He talks about Jordan and his parents as if theyre still here; he invents a future for them.
The moment he walks away, though, he collapses.
For a minute, he had them and then theyre gone again.
He wont explain himself to Shay, and he runs off.
Later, Lacey finds him sitting among his familys boxes.
Maybe, for a few minutes, Edward feels normal again.
At least think about it!
Hey, we finally get the letters that go with the whole Dear Edward thing!
The mystery girl from the grocery store slides a letter for Edward through the door and runs off.
I guess well get more on that later!
With all due respect, just shove your kombucha up your ass.
Dee Dee, an icon.
