What was this episode about?

So lets Tarantino it and start with whats bound to matter most.

Asher was a bad person in love with a good person, he tells his teary wife.

He sees that now.

And the declaration, while sincere, isnt exactly spontaneous.

Its not necessarily to hurt him, I dont think.

She seems genuinely unable to speak directly and candidly to Asher about the pent-up dissatisfaction she feels.

She knows it; he knows it; the camera knows it.

What kind of icy bitch cant just love the man back?

Is Whit crying because shes inspired by his personal revolution?

But whats a woman to do?

Reject the love of a decent man because hes a weirdo and she has no respect for him?

Give up her career aspirations just because she doesnt share her husbands cuckold fantasies?

But, as Martha tells her, every TV reno queen needs her jester.

As a side note, a lot of the most recent cut ofGreen Queenfeels eminently watchable to me!

Did guests sign a pledge about roadway easements alongside the RSVP card?

Chicken or Fish or Tribal Sovereignty Now.

She leaves Cara a giant tip, too.

It cant make things more normal between them, but at least its kind.

But the details of who is right arent important anyway.

And this one follows the script predictably.

Whitneys even at odds with Dougie, her recent partner in crime, this week.

But Dougie has to confess he made a mistake.

HGTV doesnt want another case of the fighting El Moussas; they want to find the next Gainses.

They want xeriscaped backyards, whatever those are, and playful ribbing, however cheesy.

They want newlywed energy.

But these are the themes the show has been consistently hitting all season.

The eco-flipper from slumlord stock.

The unhappy bride and her foolish husband.

The tension inherent to remaking a community at the same time youre trying to become a part of it.

There is only one new lens on the situation offered by Young Hearts.

The car stalks her up the road a bit before passing her by.

Maybe the driver is learning her patterns?

Its a scene from a different TV show filmed in a different vernacular.

Who could it be?

The aggrieved and aggressive Fernando comes to mind.

We linger with the driver, who is wearing gloves, as he turns right on South Riverside Drive.

What does it mean?

Then, he pulls into the same strip mall where Whitney, Asher, and Dougie all work.

Do they know him?
