It can be said without fear of contradiction that this is the least zany episode ofMrs.
Except for the part when David Arquette goes undercover as a nun.
Or the scene where Jesus permits Simone to fuck her ex-boyfriend.
Or the deal when a copy of Ayn RandsAtlas Shruggedunlocks a secret chamber with aStar Warstrash compactorstyle security mechanism.
But yeah, other than that?
Alright, when you lay it all out facetiously like that, it seems quite ridiculous as is theMrs.
Again, when you put it that way, it sounds kooky.
Mrs. Davisknows this, and I think thats to its detriment.
Six episodes in and I fail to see how this approach is good for the show in any way.
Davistakes all of those relationships seriously, which is the source of this episodes strength.
Take the Jesus situation, for example.
Again, this is a powerful little way to depict coming clean about unfaithfulness and forgiving it.
Simones material with Wiley, meanwhile, is … surprisingly hot.
Her complex relationships with her crazy mom and dad are handled with relative restraint and respect.
Parents do disappoint, after all.
Even Mrs. Davis gets a little character development.
Thats what the AI did to Celeste, falsely informing her that Simone was her fathers accomplice.
Which in the end she, too, lies about to move things forward.
What did she hear?
Why was this apparently awful secret something she seemed happy to learn?
For perhaps the first time,Mrs.
Davisends on a mystery that Im excited to see the show solve.
