I like how Russ is a vaudevillian villain in these first few episodes.

I donttrustyou, Russ.

But maybe he influences her employment or something and it is tenuous!

I dont know Alices life.

John is a challenging person.

), but John is indeed grumpy to most people, potential financial schemes notwithstanding.

At the station, Russ tells Julia they cant afford to produce the show.

Julia tries drilling into the numbers (yay!

), and when Russ hands her a paper, she tells him she can provide the money.

This stresses me out so much, but also she believes in herself and that is admirable?

So I do not know what I would do as her friend.

When Julia tells Avis she wants it more than anything, Avis says all right, lets do it.

Hunter Fox pulls Russ off Ive Been Reading (remember Ive Been Reading?)

to produceThe French Chef, and Alice gets assigned to the former.

Alice has started trying out recipes from Julias cookbook and has made a quiche when her mom visits.

Alices mom is very focused on getting Alice a husband.

Her mom wants Alice to join Dotties bowling team with her, and wow.

I bet Dotties bowling team is super fun.

Before the first season of her show starts, Julia is still working feverishly late into the night.

I would definitely be the person to commission an illustration for her on Etsy that says Cup by Cup.

My apologies to the fictional version of Julia Child.

His wife responds by telling him shes pregnant, which he seems genuinely happy about?

A purpose in life for Russ!

He becomes an actual producer for Julia.

Russ is good now!

My wife was not even watching this she just heard the dialogue and she still cried.

Do it, Alice!

You deserveThe French Chef!

No one should have to attempt to reach Norman Mailers agent.

As Julias father packs to leave, they have one final exchange.

It seems like money, perhaps?

This episode was written by Eboni Booth, who did an excellent job!

I almost never note the writers for shows, but Ive been watching out for them inJulia.
