I love this episode, it is such a tearjerker for me. I feel like a Tina episode was way overdue so I'm glad we finally got it. That scene between Mikey and Tina is one of the best in the whole show. We found out so much about Tina and also Mikey which was an added bonus. Glad you checked the credits, Ayo directed the sh*t out of this one, girl is multi talented.

What a treat to have a Tina episode! I think you guys nailed it - the operative word here is humanity. She is so full of life, she’s a joy to watch. And then her husband too - they’re kind of ‘relationship goals’ aren’t they? Really beautiful. Even if we didn’t know how things turn out for her later, I’d still be happy that she ended up working at The Beef. It may not be the most prestigious job, but it’s fully human. She won’t be stifled. Applying at corporate offices - Oof, been there. I still had a job at the time, but the last time I switched gigs it took at least a full year. Endless applying, interviews, the whole bit. And it was every bit as soul-less as portrayed.

I hate how Americans define themselves by their careers (I blame the Puritans). People might actually be happier if they worried less about what people thought of their careers and just worked in the fields they enjoyed.

This episode was filmed and paced as well as any on the show. Ayo really did a great job with this HUGE directorial task.

While not my favorite episode of the season, this one is definitely a standout. It's easy to miss in a first watch but this episode takes place in 2018 so 4-5 years before the start of the show. I feel like it gives some insight into why Tina was so hostile to Sydney & Carmen. I think she was afraid those "kids" were going to push her out & she'd be back in this situation. You are right about previously seeing the scene with Mikey & Tina looking at the phone & the pic of Carmen's dish. It was in the season 3 premiere. It was decided in Season 2 that Ayo would direct an upcoming episode & because she had no scenes in Fishes, she shadowed Chris Storer during the filming of that episode. This was her first time directing & she joined the Directors Guild of America & took some of the courses they offer in order to prepare. Ayo received an Emmy nom for directing the episode. This is the first episode of the series where Carmen doesn't appear. It's also the first time Liza Colon-Zayas & John Bernthal worked together although they had met on the set previously. David Zayas visited his wife on set during the prior season & Chris Storer asked if he'd want a part & then wrote him into the show.
