Not perfect, but felt a little more true to form than most AJLT episodes. This episode felt well balanced, equal parts sentimental and funny.
Carrie's plotline is interesting and SJP continues to shine with any material she's given. Her lying to everyone saying she has covid so that she can avoid doing something which might cause her pain is quintessential Carrie.
The LTW/Charlotte story was simple and silly but garnered actual laugh out loud moments.
Seema is a natural-born scene stealer and she had some of the best moments of the episode. With her, they've managed to recreate at least some of the missing Samantha energy without being too on the nose about it. Her rapport with Carrie is fantastic.
Nya wasn't present much, but her storyline seems promising. Wish we'd gotten to see just a bit more.
And Miranda and Che ... well, it wasn't the worst. I don't find there to be much chemistry between the two, but they're rounding out Che's character a bit more and we're exploring new layers in the relationship. Miranda is acting completely out of character, and while that may be the point, it's not particularly fun or interesting to watch.
It hasn't exactly found its footing, but there was a certain rythm to this episode that felt good for once. The story beats didn't feel as random. One of the few episodes I would watch again.
