Does Hazel miss the squeaky-clean cell of the Hub as she scrubs urinals at the Shangri-Lanes?
She lives to troll Byron, who she (mistakenly) believes is still watching her every move.
Hazels not the only one working hard today: Her dad is at Judiffs house.
Judiff has gotten awfully cute for a work meeting.
Thats not the only reasonforcibly implanting a surveillance chip into your unconscious wifes brainisnt allowed!)
So they need to lure Byron out of the Hub to get him to admit his crimes on tape.
But maybe what this world needs is a little bit of Judiffs can-do spirit.
Herb was diagnosed with cancer two years ago; he says chemo is not for him.
Judiff says she couldve handled it, and I believe in her, but Herb is not sold.
She leans in for a kiss and he skedaddles.
Rachel Lindsay appears on TV to report that Byron is outside the Hub for the first time in forever.
GEE, BYRON, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A REAL DRAG.
So Byron gives Bennett the task of watching it and telling Byron everything Hazel is doing.
And what is Hazel doing?
What are any of us doing most of the time?
She is staring forlornly at the underwhelming contents of her refrigerator.
Herb has left Hazel a note saying she needs to make herself scarce because its Dianes and his anniversary.
Byron never took me anywhere, either.
and squeals with glee at the prospect of getting into a car (!!)
And coerce Warpaint into rescheduling their L.A. show so they could play this pathetic concert for two.
Because why be subtext when you’re able to be dialogue?
I was Byrons doll.
Thats why I get you.
THATS why Im going to make Dad take you out tonight!
Im sorry, but I mean, come ON.
I just feel insulted.
Does the show not think we are smart enough to connect those dots?
We are seven episodes in.
I am wounded by this, truly.
He wants to talk to Byron.
Did nobody use their time in quar to watchThe Sopranosexcept for me?
Though he begs for Byrons forgiveness Im nobody out there!
Wouldnt it be smarter to build a separate pasture cube?
Am I the only one thinking things through around here??
Herb returns home to find his dolled-up doll and his daughter adamant that Diane be brought out to dinner.
Who shows up at the bar but Jay from the Shangri-Lanes?
Hazel and Jay have good chemistry.
Jay invites her to talk shit with your new co-worker, which is a perfect opener.
I love his questions for her, and his enthusiasm: Were you in a cult?
You just came out of nowhere …
If you were, thats fine.
I would join one!
Only to, inevitably, escalate to being a dick.
My wife has brought something to my attention, he says.
Ive become a bit of a stranger to the world.
In the Hub, his life was just screens, screens, screens.
He looks knowingly at the camera and announces, Ive put the screen down.
He is ready to connect on a PERSONAL level.
Youre going to start seeing a lot more of me soon!
Not at all frightening information, that.
Hazel freaks out and goes over to Shane.
Just in case Byron is not watching, she needs to feel free.
With Diane offered up as collateral quite the sign of trust from Dad!
Shane lets Hazel borrow his plane.
It makes her so happy.
The clouds up here are seamless!
Its a Manila envelope that is universal television shorthand for divorce papers.
(In real life, anything can come in those 8.5 x 11 envelopes.
Either way, somebody gets to chuck the envelope at you and say, Youve been served.)
Hazel opens the envelope to find yes, duh divorce papers.
And, more importantly: Has Byron even signed these papers yet?
