This show needed a few more supporting personalities to bounce off of Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini.
Speaking of that, wheres Ed Asner been lately?
Hes not in Palm Springs, where Judy and Jen are at a Friends of Heaven Grief Retreat.
Is this arguably the first major time jump in the chronology of the show?
But this feels like a jump forward during which Jen and Judys friendship has been solidified.
One thing Applegate and the writers have made clear about Jen is that she acts quickly.
You cant go on thinking nothings wrong, indeed.
Its awkward, and that quick-thinking Jen makes the decision to flee the scene before the crying starts.
Yes, Judys new love interest is a cop.
Interestingly, the criminal in the room doesnt run or panic.
What is she going to do with a cop in her life?
And does it mean something that Nick is dealing with grief too?
Most of the major characters inDead to Meare shaped by their grief.
Well, except for Steve.
Hes just a dick.
This declaration of self-hatred is what frames the final beats of the episode.
Nick comes out of the bathroom and Judy tells Jen that hes a detective.

Nick claims that he has.

Judy, Jen, now Jason what is it with the writers of this show and J-names?
She was codependent with Steve and then codependent with Jen.
What happens if she becomes codependent with the man who may discover that shes a murderer?

One of my favorite songs of the 80s.
