Does this feel like the third-to-last episode of a hit show?
But theres an emotional gravity thats missing this episode, as it has been at several points this season.
Its an episode that really affirms something disappointing: This is the weakest season ofDead to Me.
It was a soap operas worth of twists with character work out of the prestige-TV era.
But Jen, Judy, and Ben feel more like pawns for the writers this year than real people.
Pushing everything into a final season of only ten episodes has led to an ending that feels rushed.
Like much of this season, this episode is about waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Judy goes for an acupuncture treatment while Jen goes to yell at Perez for putting handcuffs on Ben.
Dont worry about Ben.
Rich white guys dont ever face justice.
It was really just to make Nick happy and close that investigation.
Will they be able to match it to Jen?
They have to stay calm.
They do not stay calm.
Perhaps Jen and Judy will find it in Mexico, though.
Is this how the show is going to get back to the seasons opening dream sequence?
Its going to take some work to get there.
He introduces himself in a very serious tone, and Jen stumbles her way through the interaction.
He just has a few questions!
More urgently, Jen got a ticket near where the body was found.
On the way out, Moranis notices the broken frame on one of Judys paintings.
Everything is starting to look suspicious at the Harding house.
They dont have to kill Glenn or anyone else.
At least not right now.
And Karen reset the cloud password.
So its off to see Karen, Mexican lasagna in hand a callback to theseries premiere.
Jen and Judy want to see the safe room and go through some memories with Karen via her footage.
Thats one fire put out.
Jen knows its for her DNA, so the next morning, she goes to see Glenn.
Is it a little weird that his arrest became more about Jens response and didnt center him at all?
Did Marsden need the week off?
Will anyone else die?
Im still convinced it cant end with Ben in the dark about Steves death.
For all we know, theres another major twist to come.
This season has certainly had more than its share.
