One of this seasons biggest mysteries is the details of Meryl Streeps contract to guest star.
Were there a certain number of episodes she committed to?
Were all of her scenes for the whole season shot back to back?
Whos idea were the Willie Nelson braids?
So she weaseled her way into an audition and ultimately booked the role.
These voiceovers love a good double meaning.
Just as the sitz are getting ready to probe, Mabel shows up.
Our estranged trio is finally reunited.
So maybe they could have kept him in custody for that?
Anyway, just as Loretta says her line, Who goes there?
the doors burst open and Detective Williams answers, NYPD, motherfuckers.
Sitzprobes are not a place for critics, but thats just how desperate Oliver is for her approval.
He says that she doesnt owe him any explanation … but he would still like an explanation.
