“What in the holy moly?” is a very apt description for this episode. All I knew going into the episode was that Parker Posey would have a starring role, and I was very excited about that. Seeing Parker as Blair in that wardrobe, which was on fire, going full tilt over the top hamtastic was pretty much everything that I wanted it to be. The opening scene I had to pause a few times because I was cackling like Witchiepoo. Though I'm not as familiar with Jillian Bell, what I have seen her in I've liked, and here as Gina I thought she did a great job as well. Like you said it took a little while to realize what was happening. When it did, I said, “We have a Heaven Sent type deal in The Walking Dead. Oh, my sweet Jesus. ...I love this.” I love the Twilight Zone feel of this episode. I’m always fond of plots where two characters who can’t stand each other are forced to work together. It’s funny how when Gina finally unloads on Blair, and blames her for the situation, I found I was a little defensive of Blair. First reason being that to her defense, she wasn’t the one driving to the gas station. Also, how Gina’s yelling at Blair as if she were a boss from hell, I’m thinking, based on my own experiences, I’ve had worse bossses. Besides which, I also think that though Blair may be psychotically insufferable, and annoying beyond belief, those are things you can work around, provided she isn’t consciencely, actively and/or maliciously awful to the employees, and is in fact very good at her job, which the show never really clarified about. It did not occur about Blair’s boyfriend not lifting a finger to help her out until Blair pointed that out. I expected the end to be more depressing and downbeat and was therefore surprised when it ended on the happier and hopeful note. It did catch me off guard when Blair had the line of kind of hoping that they were dead because she really wanted to see her dad. Had a small cry at that line. I somewhat related to the set-up of the other employees at the insurance company being worried and concerned about should they keep working, or should they all just go home. It recalled the week in March of 2020 where everything was slowly but steadily shutting down due to the pandemic, and there was the atmosphere at work the majority of that week of do we keep working, was it even safe to keep working or do we close up and go home, that part of the episode resonated with me. As you posit, there may be opinions that people did not care for this episode. I don’t care. I loved the SHIT out of this episode, and most thoroughly enjoyed your reaction, Jess. Thank you.
