Where were at in the eighth episode of the second season feels like the season could endanywhere.
Yes, Charlie is figuring it all out.
But where will this season leave characters like Nick, Michelle, and Perez?
What will Ben discover before the end of the season?
And what roles will new characters like Chief Hastings and Eileen Wood play?
it’s possible for you to almost see season three from here if you squint.
First, Jen and Judy have to explain why Steves car was in a storage unit.
Applegates delivery when Charlie asks her why they had the car is amazing: Cuz?
Im gaslighting my own kid, she says.
Judy gets back with Michelle.
Jen goes with Ben over to the Wood mansion and sees photos of a young Ben and Steve.
This season is going to leave some big ones.
Sadly, Judy, who would be really good at it,probablywont pass the background check.
Open investigations and vandalism reports arent easy things to overlook.
Karen is going to need a lot more orange wine.
More importantly, Jen knows who spray-painted her garage.
It turns out that Charlie has another girlfriend and the Insta-awful Parker knows where to get spray paint.
Is it Steves illegitimate daughter?
Charlie spots the gas can in the garage, where it shouldnt be.
And he speaks Greek!
Judy tries to call her mother, only to find out something that seems to upset her.
And Ben comes to make out with Jen.
Lets hope the heart that had seven surgeries can handle it.
Extra Counseling
The ensemble this season has elevated in every way.
Both Applegate and Cardellini are even better than in season one, and they were great last year.
Marsden is showing his range, contrasting Ben with Steve.
And it extends to the supporting cast.
Riva is great and Sam McCarthy deserves some praise for how hes grown as an actor between the seasons.
He was also excellent onThe Good Place.
I love that Eileen calls her son Benji.
Dont you think mom is the only one who does that?
How about that chemistry between Applegate and Marsden?
Its really strong in ways that shows like this dont often consider.
And it will make the ultimate flaming out of this cute couple all the more heartbreaking.
