This episode didn't quite meet my expectations. There were still plenty of moments that I loved, but with only 3 episodes left in the series, I was hoping for a lot more to happen. Somehow this felt like a filler episode. I love this show and all of the characters, but I'm starting to get a little tired of all of the repetitive plot lines. Debbie complaining about Lip selling the house like 10 times per episode, Veronica and her mom, and the nearly constant references to social justice issues. I appreciate what they are trying to do, but it feels so insanely forced.
Another slight complaint that I had with this episode in particular was the over the top music and editing. This may just be me, but it kept drawing me out of the scenes. I'm particularly talking about all of Debbie's scenes where they would put "all by myself" on in the background and even put her in slow motion. This show used to be able to get it's emotions and points across without any kind of extensive editing and relied only on the actor. This is what made the show so organic and unique at the beginning. I'm not sure if it's new editors or if they just wanted to try something different, but it really drew me out and reminded me that I was just watching a tv show. Again, this may just be me but I hope the final two episodes are a little more intriguing.
