Bill plays a horny angel!
Oh my sexy God, did I cackle.
Of course, we are privy to much more serious events in Bills life throughout Appearances, too.
That moment started with a big meeting and hopes of something greater for the DWL, too.
were transported back to the mid-90s (thanks, oddly placed references to the O.J.
The mustaches are spectacular.
The first meeting is a disaster, by which I mean it never happens.
Tom is stood up by Ted Turner after waiting hours.
He is not pleased but agrees to figure out another time.
Six months later, Ted Turner summons Tom once again.
Shes ditching Bill for Tom.
His ego is out of control.
Thats when Bill learns about Willies betrayal.
Thats when everything changes.
Also, very broke!
Carol is one cold broad; we know this.
When she suggests reaching out to Bill for some financial assistance, Tom shoots the idea down immediately.
Hes made out to be callous and miserly.
But weve been wrong.
Over the years, Bill has given Tom almost $500,000 and has never been repaid.
Bill has become an ATM to him and nothing more.
Tom has never even apologized for him and Willie cutting Bill out.
Even now, as Bill tells him how much Tom broke his heart, he cant.
Tom is bitter and angry (at himself, mostly), and he is sad.
Bill tells him to just call his accountant the next time he needs cash and he leaves.
Before Bill leaves, Tom begs him not to tell Carol.
Even after everything, hes embarrassed to say hes taking a handout from Bill.
Tom calls Carol and feeds her a lie about getting some money from a new investor.
The whole thing, from top to bottom, is heartbreaking.
Its a monologue about how the things we love can hurt us the most.
How even heaven can be hell.
Unfortunately, what Bill might believe is the start of mending their relationship is cut short.
That night, Bill gets a call from Carol: Tom shot himself that morning.
Weve been watching the run-up to Toms death this entire time.
He never tells Carol the truth.
Its no wonder he had a mental breakdown and decided to whip his dick out on a plane!
The man has been carrying this insane burden.
He so badly wants to make the DWL into the massive success he and Tom had dreamed it could.
The man references Elizabethan theater and commedia dellarte!
Hes really giving it all hes got.
Hes less successful, however, in trying to somehow repair the damage done to his relationship with Willie.
Maybe she doesnt want to be absolved of that sin.
And there is no way it helps to have Crystal around, reminding Willie of her own failings.
The two women share similar trajectories.
Willie would get to bask in the spotlight that she so desperately wanted two decades ago.
The Finisher
The meeting with Brooks goes well.
He likes the story of the DWL and wants to see more from them.
I will treasure Ace Spade making a vision board for the rest of my days.
Is Diego going to defect?!
Wild Bill is chatting about commedia dellarte and Charlie Gully is name-checking Miss Havisham?Heelsnever ceases to surprise.
