Kerry’s disastrous audition tape is a stroke of genius. Conor was the standout out of the episode though - his “Ahhh America” upon entering the Average Joe bar, the Famous Blue Raincoat karaoke, etc. And then the “I don’t need love” bit which was just genuinely heartbreaking.
Season’s off to a terrific start.

Yeah, this was perhaps Connor's best episode on the show. And Roman was on fire tonight."What happens if you kill a buddhist? Do you reincarnate as a buddhist?".

Recency bias could be at play, but I think the Karaoke Room convo might be a Top 5 scene in the show.

Yea that scene really says it all. Logan is right when he says his kids aren’t serious people and you can see his genuine frustration in that moment when he tells them that and storms out. It’s been so funny watching these bumbling idiots try to run a business together this season. Roman may somehow actually be the best suited for the job. Logan probably does mean it when he says he needs him at the end of the episode. Sure he probably is the most likely to defect to Logan but there’s also probably more to Logan courting Roman than just his questionable loyalty to his siblings. If I was in his shoes I’d take Logan up on his proposal in a heartbeat. Read the writing on the wall, man, there’s no future there with Kendall and Shiv. They’re not fit to run this business

No spoilers yet, but you're going to want to watch this one, and stay out of social media and entertainment sites until you do.

Holllllllllly shit. Did not think we were getting here so soon. Incredibly crafted episode that captures how sudden and surreal this would feel. Sad to lose Cox for the rest of the run but also allows them to kick things into a brand new high gear for the last 7 episodes. Hats off to everyone for their performance in this episode, but above all, Culkin continues to be astonishing. That vein in his forehead is the secret weapon of this whole damn show.

This means one thing for sure, Cox has the Guest Emmy on LOCK. Poor Offerman, Bartlett, Serkis, Skarsgard etc. .

And yeah, Culkin is fucking amazing.

Man, there's just so many moments I keep thinking about. Connor's "He never even liked me anyway" and "My father's dead and I feel old." Tom's "People should know that I was with him." Roman obsessing over whether he said "I love you" (he didn't, btw). That three second shot of Colin standing alone and uncertain on the tarmac. "Do you think your uncle's gonna make it?" What a breathtaking hour of television.

An all-timer episode. Bravo to the cast, crew, and writing staff.

I was never on the Culkin train but he's been murdering it this season with the last episode being the killshot.

I have not seen it mentioned anywhere, the Kerry reaction was heart-wrenching!
I loved the episode.

It's wild that the most successful relationship in the show is turning out to be Connor-Willa of all.
Also, give them all Oscars!

This was the most powerful and real depiction of death and grieving I've seen since "The Body" episode of Buffy. The two episodes are starkly similar in many ways, particularly in portraying the surreal confusion surrounding a sudden loss, the repeated questions and half-uttered reassurances. My grandmother died three years ago, and my immediate family and I could not be with her because of COVID restrictions. I remember us all crowding round an iphone saying our final goodbyes and love yous to her. This episode brought all that back, and I'm honestly devastated. Everyone was incredible. Every scene was perfect. Even while I was holding back unexpected tears, Kerry's "chuckles the clown" moment had me howling.

Love seeing Friedman, Rasche, Smith-Cameron, et al getting to step up to the plate with some new room cleared on the board. Great stuff from the suits this week.
The excitement of the unexpected Hiam Abbass return was only surpassed by the excitement of the unexpected Stephen Root return for like thirty seconds.

Double Stephen Root tonight! (I presume, I haven't seen Barry yet).

Willa is such an icon! "Look at us both, right?" is my favorite line this episode 😂

Uhhh, that was one of the best hours of TV I've seen since one week ago on the same show.
I can't believe how casually this show keeps one-upping itself.

That smirk on Ken's face! I do not think this is going to end well for him though.
