It’s hard to believe the town could recover from the death of Miss Frances, and yet, time marches on.
In the shadow of her moving celebration of life (throw by her favorite three students), the town has to get back to work.
Just kidding! Everybody in Serenity will be taking a page out of Brie’s book today in observance of the big, shocking, terrible thing baseball guy did at the restaurant.
Did he get blackout drunk? Use too many party drugs? Is he sleeping with hordes of women?
No, he has a huge problem with — wait for it — anger. (The worst sin of all.) And naturally this means he is incapable of being in an adult relationship.
Which makes sense because he has the handwriting of a child.
But, while he can’t be a grown-up, everyone else has to grow up and deal with the fallout from yesterday’s funeral.
Helen might be engaged.
And Dana Sue and her ex (?) need to talk about Kathy.
This kid — you absolutely know his name — is being impacted by the recall, which you totally remember is happening.
And DS needs to go to the bank.
Why won’t they just say how much money it is?
And these two people who you also recognize are trying to find a place for their secret hookups because…plot.
What the people of this town really need is a trusted guide they can lean on and who can help them work through these issues.
Which is why they have TROTTER, a man we all know and love. Thankfully he is there to guide Maddie in this uncertain hour.
Maddie really needs to find something to do, because she has been blowing Helen’s phone up all. day.
She’s been single/estranged from Cal for, what, six hours? Poor thing. So, Trotter really has to spell it out for her.
With this solid guidance, she wanders out of the spa and bumps into a good friend who we are thrilled to see again.
This poor lady (who, based on her outfit, is apparently the town priest?) is just trying to get a break.
These townspeople need to find a way to handle their own damn problems. Pastor June is busy, okay!
The only ones who have a plan for anything are DS and Ronnie.
Up until now I suspected Kathy was the reason these two broke up all those years ago. So, when Ronnie goes to see her, I thought he was deviating from the plan Dana Sue had hinted at!
(Who takes the time to remove a phone number from their contacts anymore?)
Anyway, I thought maybe Kathy was going to convince Ronnie they should take Frances’ money and run away together.
Especially when she orders him a drink like this, while holding his hands.
So, it was a real shock to me when Kath sat down and said…
WHAT?! Who orders a drink by calling their brother a “fine man.” Ick!
Also in weird sibling relationships:
Isaac and his baby sister are now living together. Is it gonna be awkward when Isaac starts dating Bill’s ex (you remember that, right?)/Isaac’s sister’s mother, Noreen, a person about whom we have strong feelings?
At least their relationship will be more cut and dry than Helen and Ryan’s. These two honestly seem like they are on a different show than everybody else. Helen tells Ryan about her miscarriage and then they both have a good cry. For a man who didn’t want kids until yesterday, Ryan takes this particularly hard.
Couldn’t they just ask Bill to make them a baby, cuz from the looks of things he’s going to father a child with Kathy any minute now.
Anyway, lots of drama to catch-up on with these people who you are definitely invested in, so might as well hit the “next episode” button and see what happens next in Serenity!
