Some are better than others.

Shall we start with Moira, then?

The options in Schitts Creek are bleak.

Who should overhear the women discussing their dire situation they may have to take out an ad on BroadwayWorld.com!

Ever heard of her?

She had a short-lived, critically reviewed reality show calledA Little Bit Alexisand a corresponding album.

She is who they have been searching for all along.

Only Moira goes out of her way to avoid getting Alexis involved.

Jocelyn assumes its some weird mother-daughter competition thing and so insists on letting Alexis audition.

Eventually, Moira gives up she can audition, but Moira will have nothing to do with it.

She performs A Little Bit Alexis and Annie Murphy is horrifying in the most glorious way.

(Also, I cant stop singing this song, yo send help.)

So Jocelyn realizes she was clearly wrong.

But no, its a different orchard Moira explains.

And that whole training with Barbra Streisands vocal coach thing?

Apparently he quit the business after just two lessons with our sweet Alexis.

He now lives in a monastery.

So shes happy, regardless.

The back-and-forth is genius.

And so Moiras ignore and lie parenting technique works out in the end.

Except for the fact that the ladies still have yet to find a suitable Sally Bowles.

Their psuedo-father-daughter relationship has been a joy to watch grow, and it goes next-level here.

Johnny tries to play it off like its no big deal, but the man has a speech written.

And once he and Stevie arrive at the reception, he is downright giddy.

Unfortunately, when she surprises him with the idea, his reaction isnt what she hoped for.

He thought they were just casually hooking up whenever they saw each other.

He likes her, but hell always be traveling and shell always be working in Schitts Creek.

Thats not going to change … and he doesnt really want it to.

Its a real shame I had such high hopes for Amir!

Heart not warmed enough yet?

A true gentleman always offers to bring you shrimp when youre crying over a boy.

An equally delightful thing occurs once Stevies made it home.

Moira appears at her door with a bottle of wine after hearing about Amir.

She thinks it could do the same for Stevie.

Stevies flattered by the comparison that anyone would see her that way.

In this case, its Patrick and Ronnie.

Patrick is annoyed that Ronnies taking longer than their agreed-upon timeline to build a restroom in the store.

He tries standing up to her and it is very cute, but you know who wins this fight.

So, like, is Davidteachingthe calligraphy class at Rose Apothecary, or … ?

Jocelyn, after Alexiss audition: Theres a place for her, somewhere.Moira: Onstage?!

I dont know why, but it brings me joy that Moira refers to her as Babs Streisand.
