What a week for DRAMA here on our fair comedy series!
All to be the president of a democracy.
(Ben: I think its pronounced half-white.)
Her daughter is getting married and the wedding planner, Gary, is on top of all the details.
Wow, is there anyone out there who doesnt want to buy America a president?
Keith knows all about that time Selina droned a wedding.
Possibly my favorite line read of the night is Selinas reaction: A: That never happened.
B: That footage ishighly classified.
Minna has no choice but to report Selina.
TheVeepwardrobe department is killing it this season which naturally enrages Catherine, who looks extremely beige.
Selina pretends to slip into the bathroom to freshen up.
Catherine should immediately note that things are off (when is her mom ever this attentive to her?
and she decides she needs to swing by the Nobel joint and pick up her prize.
(Kent: Maam, that is the Nobel Prize of bad ideas.
No, thats economics.)
And eventually it even brings together Jonah and his estranged dad!
But only after Jonah gets the chicken pox and whoops!
spreads it all over the place, from one anti-vaxxer hub to the next.
Just as things are really improving between father and son (I love you, too.
), Jonahs dadalsocomes down with the chicken pox and then he dies.
And just when he was about to be a moderating influence on his sons campaign rhetoric!
Now Jonah has pivoted to railing against immigrants, who apparently are responsible for chicken pox.
Glad Beth got in a makeout with Agent Youngblood before she had to head to rehab.
and also paralyze him (!!).
So Richard is now the governor of Iowaanda super delegate.
Who do you think hell vote for?
A few other things… Like, Idronedthat wedding, man.
Minna can forgive Selina for not voting for her to be the head of the IMF.
You dont go toprisonfor not being head of the IMF, Selina points out.
Minna: Only the prison of unmet potential.
Catherine: I found the perfect dress at the Oslo Medieval Festival.
Gary: Oooh, Idoubtit.
Marjorie learned to do a perfect smoky eye from JSAW.
I love this back and forth between Catherine and Selina: Do you remember my 13th birthday?
What about my 16th birthday?
Are we going to go throughallthe birthdays?
I dont remember any of them.
This is small but I highly recommend looking closely at the teleprompter as Selina speeds through Leons speech.
My favorite part: The exclamation point on Possibly even killed!
You think they would rather choke me than listen to me talk?
I can only speak for myself.
Ill also give points to Selina calling the United States barely a democracy.
Compliment of the episodeIts a real strong week for men supporting women!
(Amy, blushing: Its a new dress!)
Jonah Shall Henceforth Be Known AsPatient IQ Zero.
