This season. Brilliant. Love the Magnolia homage. Love how the whole thing pays off. All the crumbs come together in this episode and the Oprah character was brilliant and hilarious. 👍

The Best Episode So Far...

Warning: Spoilers
There is a pattern on this show of proud, token black characters being outed as fools. It was present with Dorie's ex, Drew's juror fling, the judge, and now "Oprah" in this episode. Amidst a foreground of idiotic, crazy white characters, black characters don't have stories, and are clueless pawns, tricked or gotten the better of by the main characters: the most clueless of the clueless.
Episode plot: Chantal, stupid white person writes a stupid book. A smart white publisher is discerning, and "correctly" sees the book as deranged. Later, an Oprah character is shown to be vain, foolish, and clueless. She mistakenly declares Chantal's book a masterpiece and becomes a punchline. The episode ends with Chantal getting the better of "Oprah" on live(?) TV.
