Is there any show that knows how to do joy better thanSomebody Somewhere?
Lets start with the catharsis.
Not surprisingly, it doesnt take long to get to Sam and Joel making up.
And thats really all that needs to be said to get over the initial hump.
Something that helps: Sam doesnt just want to say, Im sorry.
She has much more to say to Joel.
What freaking growth for a woman who can barely hear someone else say they love her.
Which Joel, of course, does.
She adds, First, I open my heart to you, then I open my legs to him.
It seems like the logical progression.
And there they are: Sam and Joel are back, baby.
Now that Sams forgiven both Tricia and Joel, Tricia asks about Holly.
As the old saying that I just made up goes: after catharsis, we party.
And thats exactly what Sam and Joel do.
The rest of the episode is just filled to the brim with every shade of joy there is.
Theres Fred taking the moment in around him before his wedding starts.
Tricias over to the side crying because she loves love so much.
Susans dad even showed up!
Theres one last tribute to the late Mike Hagerty, too.
Fred gets up at the reception and gives a heartfelt thanks to their host, who couldnt attend.
They were just two guys who shared a love of the land (Im not crying!).
And if Ed were able to be there, hed be his best man (IM NOT CRYING).
Yes, in case you were wondering, she does do a little titty shimmy on Joels face.
Yes, it is as glorious as it sounds.
I have never been happier that these two made up.
They were tears of joy, of course.
The joy of simply seeing people enjoying being with each other.
The joy of community.
The joy of Gloria.
Im not apologizing for it!
Theres another moment of joy tucked away in this episode albeit more subtle than the epic dance party.
Its this crazy thing thats been happening over and over again for thousands of years.
She may be done with Rick, but shes not done with love.
And in a quiet way, that is also such a moment of joy.
Sure, shes also choosing cunt-related pillow sayings, but also hope.
I dont think thats lost on Sam.
Okay, also, maybe its because shes drunk and horny.
Cant it be all the things?
Unfortunately, Sam discovers that Drews already asleep.
She decides the best course of action is to fling her shoe at his window.
Sam apparently doesnt know her own power it goes flying through the glass.
Sam makes a break for it; the beer and the sex will have to happen later.
Maybe this is the next step in the evolution of Sam Miller.
Or maybe she just wants to get laid!
I dont know, but Im happy about it.
And we love your love.
Unsurprisingly, Irma also rages at this wedding.
Irma is an enigma, and I hope they never give her any additional context.
Will no one tell him what SLS does to a persons body?!
