Even the personal stories themselves are a bit hit-or-miss, with some resonating more than others.

Take Spence, whos newly emboldened to confront his mom after learning Cheri is out to her parents.

I find Marks uncomplicated generosity touching in all their scenes together, sure.

But Spence sticking up to his mom feels like the next obvious beat in this story.

So Teresa returns to her body and weakly opens the garage door, saving herself.

And in general, Natsukis perspective on depression is refreshing and complex.

By contrast, Ilonka is beginning to irritate me.

After screwing up with Anya, she doesnt seem to have learned her lesson.

Stanton makes a good point, but Ilonka pulls an Ilonka and tells Kevin almost immediately.

In her latest therapy session with Shasta, she even admits to a suspicion thatshesthe patient whos going home.

Shasta encourages this belief, going so far as to invite Ilonka to stay with them at the collective.

She explains that Good Humor chose this spot because of its proximity to a nexus point centered on Brightcliffe.

(She doesnt seem that put off, though.)

But there are only so many episode-ending old lady sightings I can watch without craving something deadlier.
