The first, like most of the women on this show, is baseball,duh.
Max lives, sleeps, and eats baseball.
She dreams in baseball specifically, of pitching to Josh Gibson, a.k.a.
The Black Babe Ruth.
Unfortunately, those women ignore her, humiliate her and then dismiss her.
One of them is literally named Karen.
Its infuriating, to say the absolute least, but Max remains undeterred.
She just knows shell have to get creative about it.
This episode shows us something else Max loves with every fiber of her being: Her best friend Clance.
The crabs are life and death.
When they walk in, the man behind the counter wont even look at them.
Its so dehumanizing and heartbreaking, and Clance runs out in tears.
She has to do it all on her own and she already feels like a failure at it.
So Max marches back into the store.
Shes doing this for her friend, no matter what.
Thankfully, she bumps into Carson and Shirley there and uses her budding acquaintance with Carson to her advantage.
Max saves the day, and Clances boil is a huge success.
Im steeling myself for this, but still!
There shes met by Mrs. Turner the preachers wife!
and the two proceed to furiously make out.
Meanwhile across town, the Peaches are living through a truly misogynistic hellscape.
which, like,wow wow wow and to that end, he hires beauty consultant Vivian Hughes.
This whole exercise chips away at that sense of security.
But even from the get-go Dove is a little off.
His sincerity is questionable and his pep talks are mostly platitudes that dont even make much sense.
The ruse is really up after the Peaches lose and Carson overhears him talking to the heckler.
In short, Dove Porter sucks the big one.
To have it stripped away from them would be heartbreaking.
Theyre doing this for themselves and for their teammates.
It needs the song!
He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972.
Obviously, lots of people were more than okay with ignoring that order.
So theres that, too.
In her review, her farm hands and farm face get noted.
Ive never even been to a farm, Carson whispers, although no one is listening.
Clance and Guy are the freaking cutest.
He kisses her and everything seems much, much better.
DO NOT HURT THESE TWO.
To even attempt to replicate that perfect performance would be blasphemous!
