Season eight, 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:33.559 Episode ten lists plans airdate of November twentieth, twenty ten. 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:37.000 Synopsis reads in order to get an agent's license, Nathan 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:40.120 returns to college boy does he ever? Haley sets up 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.440 a concert at Trick featuring Kid Cuddy appearing as himself. 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:47.319 Julian helps Brook complete her bucket list she had made 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.280 before losing her company. Alex and Mia start a friendly 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.000 competition as they take over the bar at Trick. Meanwhile, 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:57.000 Quinn sneaks out of town to visit a fun familiar 0:01:57.080 --> 0:02:00.520 face that was directed and written. No, it was. It 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:04.520 was written by Johnny Richardson and it was directed. Okay, 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:08.040 so you boked when Joy said this episode was great, 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:08.960 So lay on us. 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.120 I did, because I felt like this episode kept giving 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:17.320 me whiplash. There were things about it that were so great. 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:22.320 I loved the teaser and the wedding nightmare I loved. 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:25.000 I thought, I actually thought all of Brooke and Julian's 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:26.840 stuff was so freaking sweet. 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.600 Yes, Gangbusters just so good. 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:33.360 And I loved all of your stuff, joy in the 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:39.360 way that everybody's sort of taking charge at Trick a 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:41.320 bit and at the record label, and Alex and me 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.320 are becoming friends, and that I felt like I was 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:49.080 in a completely different universe every time we cut to 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.480 the Quinn and Dan's stuff. Yeah, and I was like, Yeah, 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:57.600 what is happening? And also kudos to Paul and Chantelle 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:01.720 for being such good sports with the most absurd dialogue 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:02.919 I've ever heard two. 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:03.960 People have to give each other. 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:06.960 And I was like, how in one episode can our 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:11.440 show be nailing it and then also be embarrassing? 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.400 And I couldn't. I couldn't make sense of it. 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:20.239 Yes, I agree, we watched two talented actors do their 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:25.919 very best do the Lord's work with some highly questionable 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.520 dialogue and material. In general, First of all, it just 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:31.520 didn't make any sense. Okay, it didn't make sense for 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.960 a lot of reasons. One is Dan the only person 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.760 who works at this diner that has never had a 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:38.720 customer ever. 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:42.400 Right, no other customers, no other people. 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:47.000 As the lighting is like it's nighttime always in this dinastic. 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:50.360 The reason that you have no customers is because it's lit, 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.440 like people go there to kill other people. 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:56.840 Yes, hard spotlights on them. I don't know why they're 0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:00.680 constantly moving around the diner. I got to a scene finally, However, 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:02.040 many scenes in, I was like. 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:03.240 Is it night three? 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.560 Have they spent three days in the diner together? Like 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.320 it's been daytime, it's been nighttime, it's been daytime, now 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:10.000 it's nighttime. 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.120 It was so it pulled me. 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:17.720 Out of the episode so much, and I'm so glad 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.280 we're seeing Dan and I get the device, and I 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.840 totally get the You're the only person I know that's 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:27.599 ever murdered anyone. But we're gonna believe that this woman 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:31.200 who's been shot and traumatized feels safe alone in the 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:36.359 dark with a murderer. Like none of it makes any 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:41.560 sense to me. And they did great with what they had. Yeah, 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.880 and I didn't get it also, Dan go. 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.200 At one point, Dan says, you know, is this is 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.719 this the life you want? Having to live away from 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:54.880 everyone being isolated. It's like, sir, you had a nationally 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:59.160 broadcast a TV show, Yeah that was wildly successful that 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.080 you chose to walk away from like, you are not 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:05.200 an outcast, you just chose to be a hermit for 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:07.960 some reason. Also, the last time we saw him, he 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:13.120 was on some altruistic, you know, philanthropic stuff. He was like, 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.960 I'm giving it all away and I'm gonna help the world. 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.120 It's like, what happened on your journey that you decided. 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.200 I think I'd rather be bitter at a greasy spoon 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:23.800 diner that no one ever goes to. 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:32.560 Okay, hold on, agreed. I can see all of that. 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.360 I feel all of that. Okay. As far as Quinn 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.760 feeling safe for the murder, I totally get that. However, 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.680 I think for me, I was like, Okay, she's trying 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.320 to prove to herself that she's tough and strong and 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.160 she can handle anything, which I can relate too. I 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:48.640 think a lot of women can relate to that. After 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:50.760 you've been through something traumatic, you want to put yourself 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.800 in another situation that feels difficult to prove in some 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:55.839 way to yourself that you can handle it. If you 0:05:55.880 --> 0:06:00.400 felt like you were taken advantage of before, so that 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.880 the lighting in the diner was ridiculous, of course, and 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.280 it always felt like we were watching a different scene, 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:16.120 but for me, Quinn's dialogue felt honest. To her, Dan's 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:23.760 dialogue felt completely correct in the sense that he's trying 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.680 to convince her not to go kill someone. That's all 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.719 he's doing from the second she walks in and tells 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:31.880 him she wants to murder someone. All of the things 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:35.640 that he's doing is he's just trying to make it worse, 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.920 sound worse and worse and worse. Sure, you're not going 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:43.159 to end up killing anybody. So I don't know that 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.279 he's like bitter and angry and working at the diner. 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:48.400 I think he's playing the part of the guy that 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:52.800 she wants him to play. When so it was much 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.320 more interesting to me than that because I was watching 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:59.920 Dan do his manipulative Dan thing but having fun with it. 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.880 I wish they'd showed us that, but didn't. He didn't 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:04.680 Paul show it to. 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:05.520 You, like as an actor. 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:11.280 Sure, Well, here's what I'm gonna say, Paul, I absolutely 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.600 understood that he was trying to push her till she 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:15.800 broke and decided she didn't want to do what he 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:20.800 had done. Yeah, but the way they directed it and 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:24.000 the way they wrote it and the way they did 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:29.600 his hair and the way everything about it didn't feel sure. 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:31.920 He looked he looked like a hot convict. But like again, 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.280 he was the star of a television. He was Doctor 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:38.440 Phil and now he's this guy, Like what it They 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.280 They put it in a scenario where it felt so 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:48.200 ridiculous that I didn't get to see Dan look around 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:52.480 at his life and then make some choices. It felt 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.400 like a hat on a hat, and I think they 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:56.960 had to act their way out of it, but I 0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:00.000 don't think the choices made around it made any sense. 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:04.320 And I think you, as we do. You love Paul 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.520 and you love Dan Scott, and so it's like, well, 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.560 I see what they were, but I just I don't know. 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.840 I thought the episode was very well directed except for 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:16.320 this stuff, and so I didn't understand it. 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:20.320 I also feel like, yeah, well it's he. He kind 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.240 of Dan was getting the guest star treatment where they 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.960 can just go away and we don't have to explain 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:27.920 anything about what they've been up to. We just bring 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.280 him back doing something else. And he's too big of 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.360 a character for that. So that I agree with, right, 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:35.959 But I gotta say, as we're talking about this, I'm 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:40.120 realizing because I'm with you, joy I, I don't. I 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.720 didn't really bump on the dialogue because I knew what 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.200 Dan was up to. I didn't bump on Quinn being 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:52.240 there because this is these are like extraordinary circumstances. Yeah, 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.800 so she she is not acting in her she's not 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:56.839 in her comfort zone, she's not in her right mind. 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.119 I honestly think it's it was an issue of aesthetic. 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.920 It was that this it was an empty diner, and 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.600 then it was like one swinging bulb. 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:08.920 Yeah, it's like a Dick Tracy movie. 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:13.840 And I'm like, why you have two great actors and 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:15.679 a great storyline. 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.480 Why I'd done it in a populated diner or a 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.720 diner where people are coming in and out. It's regular daylight. 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:22.280 It doesn't look like an episode of children. And it's 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.080 like it feels much more like they're having a private, 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.880 quiet conversation. The waitress keeps coming and interrupting them. He's 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.320 taking the time off off a break, off the stove 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.600 or whatever, flipp and burgers. He's on his break. They're 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.559 talking in the corner. That feels much more dangerous. Actually, 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.640 to have a conversation like that in an open environment, 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.520 that would feel much more appropriate much and I think 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.840 everything else could have stayed the same in terms of 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:49.240 what was on the page. The choice was a bit 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.320 a bit of a juvenile choice, I think from a 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:56.200 director standpoint, to make that, yeah, lighting and the setup 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.960 look like that, And in that regard, it did really 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.480 make you feel like two completely separate episodes, particularly because 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.960 we start with this hoot Nanny wedding backyard wedding, so 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:11.199 it's like, Okay, we already got the kitch of something. 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:15.040 We don't need more kitch, we need more authenticity. 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.280 Yeah, or he could have just gone to her hotel room, 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.400 you know, like met her at to have a private commerce. 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.160 It was just it felt like, well, we've got this set, 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.480 how do we mood it up? And it's it's weird. 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:28.760 By the way, this episode of this podcast should be 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:34.640 hot convict in a Dick Tracy movie saying it's good 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.840 jot down producers. Well, then let's go back to the 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:39.520 start and talk about the hoot Nanny. 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.559 Oh, I had so much fun filming this. I did. 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:44.160 I don't know if you I need to know about 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.120 it because I wasn't there for this, and to be honest, 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.040 I had zero collection that this even happened in the show, 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.319 so I was wildly entertained. 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:52.640 It's great. 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.720 Yeah, it was really fun. I had a ball, I mean, 0:10:56.000 --> 0:11:01.080 especially being pregnant in that whole scenario with the like 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.040 the lawn chair and the rifle and the tweakie cake 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.079 and the flannel and all of it was just. 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.120 And the kid drinking beer and the. 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:11.400 Whole ridiculous monster truck. 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:14.720 Yeah, the monster truck hitting the twinkie cake. 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:19.720 Yes, listen, there was so many hilarious, outrageous elements to 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:23.679 that sequence. And you know, my favorite one was the 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:29.440 hanging meats in the background above the altar. Yeah, was 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.959 such a good touch by either set deck or art 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:35.959 department to remember and to put that in there in 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:41.320 Brooks Nightmare is the hanging meat at the web, yeah, 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.280 at the altar exactly just so fun. 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:48.720 And I remember, you know, even Carol Cutshawl doing such 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.640 a great job because it's obviously supposed to be a reveal. 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.439 So we took the top of an actual wedding dress 0:11:55.520 --> 0:12:00.760 that had like a white sequin bodice and cut off 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:05.720 the bottom and then she stitched these layers of denim 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:09.360 skirt with the you know, short front and the long 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:11.280 back so we could show the cowboy boots and it 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.360 would cut away from the veil and cut back and 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:14.800 there'd be a cowboy hat over. 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:15.440 It and a whole thing. 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:20.000 It was so much fun to build that world, and 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:22.240 they really leaned in. 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.120 She was so I mean, she is so creative. Obviously, 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:29.040 she's having a wonderful career right now. We really should 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:31.840 do an episode about costumes and we just go through 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.760 the sort of iconic costume moments in our show, and 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:38.720 we need to bring in Carol and I mean, whoever 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.520 was there at the beginning. I think maybe Alfonso. I 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:44.160 can't remember that Carol was with us for the longest, 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:47.040 but that would be really fun to bring them in 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:47.440 and do it. 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:49.880 We should also do a music one with Lindsay Wolfington 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.800 because at least a dozen times we've said that, and 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:54.079 it would just be fun to have her on for 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.160 an app and just pick her brain and hear stories. Yeah, 0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.079 because she's going to get a nod in this episode 0:12:59.120 --> 0:12:59.640 as well with. 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:04.199 The kid Yeah, cutty, Yeah, this was This was great. 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:09.000 So the backyard wedding super fun.

I guess. 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.680 Let's talk about the cake, because I gotta say I'm 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:33.560 not mad at the idea of a Twinkie cake. I'm 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:37.160 interested to learn more. Yeah, doesn't it sound good? 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:38.320 Kind of does? 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:39.440 Is it a thing? 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.120 I don't know if it's a thing, but it should be. 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:46.480 It feels like it could be the like the brunch, 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.440 like a cake at the brunch the morning after, like 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.200 a fun little if you had a little barbecue brunch 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:52.840 the next day or something. 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:54.920 Or like a cake you make for yourself when you're 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:59.600 going through a really bad breakout. Just sad. Cake soaks 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:01.240 up your years. It's easy to eat. 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.400 Somebody on Etsy's making Twinkie cakes. 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:06.800 Probably it's also a good thing. 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.480 I mean, and they and they do it in the sequence, 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.240 but it's it's so pluckable. 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:13.199 Yes, kind of a perk. 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:16.080 Maybe we're onto something, guys, from the people that brought 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.440 you corn dogs comes the Twinkie cake. 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:24.320 Not No, it was also nice to do something I 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:28.400 think so out of the ordinary, because everyone got to 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:29.960 be ridiculous. 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.760 Jamie coming out of the no, out. 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:35.360 Of the Oh my god, and. 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:43.080 Especially Haley and Nathan are in such a good adult 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.680 place and it was fun to watch you and James 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:52.200 go nuts. Yeah, like the hooting and hollering and being ridiculous. 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:56.360 It gave you space to be so silly and you know, 0:14:56.600 --> 0:15:00.480 you're in these big professional sort of moments where everyone's 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:04.400 grown up and fun but more serious, more mature, and 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:08.000 to see you both be you know, wild and crazy. 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:09.160 It was really a good time. 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:10.400 Rob. 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:11.720 Why weren't you at the wedding? 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:15.200 I don't understand why you weren't in this Like Chantelle. 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:18.120 Was there, Apparently I am. You know, Clay was not 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.600 worthy of being in Brooks nightmare. Maybe she just thinks 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:23.680 he's such a great guy that he wouldn't participate in. 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:28.960 There's also the choice to have sweet, sweet Stephen Coletti 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:31.920 just in a dinghy in the middle of that pond 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.600 on his own. Was so funny and perfect. I had 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:36.360 to rewind it to go. 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:40.840 Was that Stephen was so random? That was a fun day. 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:43.440 She was great this episode. His stuff was fun. I'm 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:44.960 glad he's more involved the season. 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:49.000 Me too. I loved Yes, I'm I'm really I continue 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.680 to show up more and more for Chase. Whatever he's 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:53.080 involved in. I'm like I want to I want to 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:54.280 see what's happening? Yeah, what is it? 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:57.880 I also love his little side with you when the 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:00.680 girls are really vibing and he's just what He's like. 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:01.520 You did this to me? 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:03.920 Yeah, it's so great. 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:11.120 Okay, So Brooke and Julian, this was my favorite part 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.400 of the whole episode. This was there was a lot 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.200 of you had a lot of like a Sara Disco 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.000 Parker energy, like it was very sex and the city 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:24.360 sort of vibe with this storyline. That's what struck me anyway. 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:30.640 But I just had so much fun watching watching Austin, 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.920 watching Austin play Julian. So he was having a ball, 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:36.240 like he was lit up all the time at every 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.680 little thing he was doing for you. And to see 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:42.680 Brooke just receiving it all and enjoying it all and 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:46.440 being loved on. You should wear red lipstick more often. 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:48.280 Your mouth looks like a pretty heart when you wear 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:53.880 red lipstick. It was so pretty. Learning French the sky diving, 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:55.720 I mean, you have so much to tell us about 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:57.720 all the adventures that you guys went on in this episode. 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.360 But I just really really loved this storyline, the whole 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.240 realm coram of it. I needed, I needed in my life. 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:10.240 It was really fun just to do something adorable. And 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.200 and you know we've talked about this. All of our 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:15.840 characters go through these sort of trials and tribulations. It's 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:19.040 a drama, and there's these seasons of sort of sadness 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:23.040 or struggle whatever, and it's just so nice to see 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:26.439 these two have a good time. Yeah, And I love that, 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:32.320 you know, he figures out a way to bring some 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:37.520 levity and some joy and some romance into her life 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:41.240 when she is grieving this loss and also trying to 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:44.960 really trying to be in that place of I'm I'm 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:48.240 sad about this and I can't do the things I 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.320 thought I would and my life isn't going to be 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:51.199 what I thought it was. 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:52.480 And he's like. 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:56.040 Says, who, yeah, we can do things. We can have 0:17:56.080 --> 0:18:00.720 a nice time, and it's just so's it's so sweet 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:06.280 and it's so refreshing, and I love seeing her, you know, 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.640 try to figure something out for the wedding and it's 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:11.160 not going to work and she's trying to stay positive 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.119 and gets in the car and then it starts, you know, 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:16.359 the French lesson starts. It's like everything is just so 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:21.480 the gestures aren't even that big. I mean, obviously the 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:24.800 sky diving is, but it's it's all these little things 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.920 that are just so genuinely kind and life. 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:31.440 She shows he cares. It's also so funny that there 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:34.600 are these attempts that we've talked about so often to 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:38.240 emasculate Julian or make him look silly, and then he's 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:42.520 given material like this, and it's it's just it really 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:46.520 shows it kind of shines light on just how immature 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:50.479 the attempt at emasculation is, because it's things that like 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:52.960 women don't care if a guy is good at high 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:56.199 fiving or if he knows how to camp. It's like 0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:59.880 what they are giving him is like he's a great partner, 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:04.480 he listens, he shows up, he's there, he's a teammate. 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:06.600 And so it's it's so funny that, like the attempts 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:10.879 to make him look silly are so overshadowed by episodes 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:14.200 like this where it's like this dude is so grounded 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:17.880 in himself and just so present and loving and awesome, 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:22.200 Like this is the ideal teammate. Yeah, so to do anything. Look, 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:25.399 he doesn't know how to high five. It's like, bfd, 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:28.760 what who cares? Dude? Who what Yet. 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:32.000 This is the Julian that we hoped for. It feels 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:34.200 like such a great payoff after the journey that they've 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:36.920 been through after breaking up and all of the drama 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:41.320 with Alex, to see him growing and coming into fruition 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:43.080 of the man that he wants to be in, the 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:44.600 partner that he wants to be in, the partner that 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:48.240 Brooke needs and wants. It feels like a great payoff. 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:53.040 And the other great payoff is having watched Brooke hustle 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:59.200 for so so so long and gaining so much. I mean, 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:03.040 she she ran a multimillion dollar company. She's on top 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:06.280 of the world. She has everything that people think they want. 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:09.879 And to see her through all that time, there was 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:11.879 so much drama and struggle, and. 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:14.280 It's so. 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:19.159 Perfect that now that all the money's gone and she 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.000 really has no other choice but to discover the magic 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:24.960 of ordinary days and to discover the little things in life. 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:30.800 To see her so light and happy and enjoying the 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:35.760 sucking the marrow out of just daily life. It's it's 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:39.600 such a great over, like a huge long Seasons by 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:43.159 Seasons arc. That feels like a great payoff that that 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:45.560 we're getting to walk into with her. I'm really happy 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:46.080 they did this. 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:49.680 There's also a great kind of blink and you miss 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:52.639 it line in that first scene I think with Brooke 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:56.359 and Julian, where Julian's just says something to the effect 0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:58.719 I think Brook says like, aren't you worried about our 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:00.840 moms becoming friends? And he's like, I'm just glad I 0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:03.280 got her out of the house, and one of you 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.159 says like, yeah, they're having like a girl's trip to 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:08.720 New York, And I just thought, dude, that is this 0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:14.560 spinoff episode we desperately needed Sylvia. Could you imagine Sylvia 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:17.520 and Victoria do Manhattan? Just an episode of the two 0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:18.240 of them. 0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:19.080 I want that. 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:21.119 I really would want Barbara to show up at some 0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:21.960 point as well. 0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:22.240 Yeah. 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:26.200 I don't know how, but the three of them, that's 0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:27.120 the trifecta. 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:32.000 Yeah, someone's getting arrested, that's a shirt. If Barbara's there, 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:33.600
