The youths are testing me this week.
THEY ARE TESTING ME.
), but it is 1,000 percent preferable to this hellish jaunt with severalThis Is Usteens.
Lets start with Deja and Malik because Im legitimately infuriated on Randall and Beths behalf.
Theyre like the parent jackpot, and these two dummies are squandering it over what?
They break out their old friend the Worst Case Scenario Game and have at it.
The truth is a little more complicated than any of that.
Thankfully, it doesnt take too long to suss it out of these ding-dongs.
You thought you were gonna pull one over on Beth?
Beth is not fooled by Maliks heartfelt apology or his delicious brown-butter gnocchi.
Beth knows Tess is not thoughtful!!
It takes Beth yelling, Tactics!!
These are all tactics!!
to snap Randall out of it and force Deja into spilling her news.
The announcement does not go over well.
and You should get it, Randall!
The disrespect from this child!!
Randalls head might explode, so he leaves the table.
Maliks like,Yeah, thats not happening.
So, however things shake out, Deja will eventually find her own path.
Are you fired up now?
Cool, lets move on to the other youth giving us trouble: PostJacks death Kate.
Theyve only recently moved past their shit and became close.
I mean, when Rebecca tells Kate shes her best friend?!
They hit rock bottom here.
over her dads death on her mother.
It doesnt mean the things she says to Rebecca dont hurt.
Holy hell, they are cruel.
Shes very rude!!
Still, it gets Rebecca and Miguel talking about maybe getting Rebecca out of her comfort zone.
And so Rebecca and Miguel embark on 15 first dates.
It looks as awful as it sounds.
Right down to the candy bar!
), a familiar face sits down across from her.
Hes in the right room!
The coffee date goes well and ends with a mutual agreement that they should do that again.
Kate calls her a slut.
Its all-around awful to watch.
Rebecca immediately calls Miguel and breaks down: She just snapped.
It was so hard to even force herself to go out and then this happened.
She tells him her grief is unbearable.
Kate overhears the whole thing and begins to understand that she has been the biggest pile of shit.
This story line is juxtaposed with a Kate and Rebecca story in the present day.
Shes playing piano for Kates students!
Shes singing Lordes Royals!
She is learning what Doja Cat is (spoiler: not a cat)!
This is a tricky subject, isnt it?
Kate and Toby are the parents here, but maybe it needed a little more tact.
Like I said, tricky.
Its just so nice; I can barely stand it.
This Is The Rest
Randall really has Kevins number, doesnt he?
Im very happy these two are so buddy-buddy again.
Kevin thinks he lives in a rom-com and Cassidy decidedly does not.
Wow, I hope Madison told her now hot-and-heavy boyfriend Eli about her eating disorder before Kevin did!!
Nicky & Edie forever!!
Nicky has Edie join him at the cabin, and are these two not just the cutest?
I mean, hes still weird as hell, but she doesnt put up with his bull.
Also, she hatesThe Manny!!
What do you mean by that?
Im sorry, Kevin is still watchingEntourage?
No, you know what.
Im not surprised by this.
Oh wow, remember when we were all so intoWho Wants to Be a Millionaire??
