>Lemme begin by saying that I was hyped to this episode

>Issa and Yvonne were talking about Kerry Washington directing

>Based on this I had been predicting for months that there

>Nothing I saw tonight screamed, to me, a scene where Kerry had

>That is to say nothing really happened tonight, nothing was
>resolved, AND ONCE AGAIN AND WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE THEME OF
>THIS DAMN SEASON, everything was kicked down the road.

>Literally the only storyline resolved here was that Condola
>wasn’t pregnant and that they are done.

>Other than that? Lawrence and Issa are stupidly back on, we
>are left in limbo to see if he moves to SF (y’all I really
>don’t want to see a season 5 based on their long distance
>relationship), and Molly and Issa still aren’t resolved (no,
>I don’t believe how they ended the convo before Issa got in
>the car is really resolving anything, just kicking a true
>ending or reconciliation down the road to the next episode or
>maybe even next season).
>
>This episode annoyed me because it made Molly the bad guy once
>again, not saying she doesn’t deserve it sometimes but here
>she showed up to Issa’s brunch, didn’t snarkily bring up
>the Block Party, and patiently waited for Issa to bring it up
>(as she should, since Issa is the one who extended the invite
>and also because Issa has dodged speaking about the issue
>before, like canceling pie time), that’s a win in my book
>and yet Andrew got on her about it and said SHE coulda brought
>it up. Nah it don’t work like that bro.
>
>Similarly I don’t really have an issue with Molly bailing on
>the Clippers game, Andrew shouldn’t expect her to just gloss
>over what happened if she and his brother haven’t truly
>talked it over, nice seats or not. They made it come across
>like Molly and bro were cool since they didn’t mention
>anything after the trip was over but if she still is feeling a
>way I don’t think it’s right of Andrew to try to force her
>to accept the invite if she’s uncomfortable, he should he
>facilitating a talk between them to fix it since in theory
>they will be part of each other’s lives for a while, not
>making her feel bad for not accepting the invite.
>
>Finally, Issa is weird for even making helping Nathan a
>thing.
>
>I get it, she feels like she owes Nathan because he hooked her
>up with Andrew but there’s nothing wrong with getting out of
>helping him move since she knows part of it is he’s lowkey
>still interested in her and the circumstances have changed now
>that she’s sorta back with Lawrence.
>
>She should have just gotten out of helping him and she
>didn’t need to call Kelli or her brother or Molly to figure
>that out nor did she need to tell Lawrence about it.
>
>Other weird thing about telling Lawrence is if y’all are
>officially together what is that going to look like if he gets
>a gig in SF?
>
>Either they are just truly hooking up and she doesn’t really
>care if he moves to SF and therefore he didn’t to know about
>Nathan either way or she’s playing herself and totally
>isn’t going to be able to deal with having a boyfriend in a
>whole different city so she’s setting herself up for
>disappointment.
