Tucker is a super talented kid. Before this show, I saw him in School of Rock on Broadway and then he was on the first season of the show, You on Netflix. "Child Star" is literally insane and he killed it.

They did change the actor for Paula's son Brendan. Funnily enough, the former actor appears in one episode of Mad Men - one you haven't seen yet, so try and see if you can spot him !

Yay this episode! "Child star" is one of those CXG songs I keep remembering exists and then absolutely needing to watch on Youtube right then. I love that whole plotline, how they try and make Luca Padovan look scheming when he's scheming but he's just too adorable to pull it off, and how it brings Rebecca full circle on dealing with her past. When you think of it this whole show has been about this one summer camp experience hasn't it been? It obviously prompted her to go after Josh Chan, and we saw her trying to recreate it in the first season in that episode at camp with Josh, and this very season started with her trying to recreate it in prison. Here she gets faced with a modern version of her past self and she recognizes it, deliberately tries to "set it right" and (as far as anyone can tell at this point, which is all one can hope for) succeeds brilliantly. It also feels fitting that we finally get a glimpse of "Slumbered" ! (But Rebecca how have you not digitized it, backed up 3 copies and uploaded it to a torrent site yet, tsk oh well I guess she isn't supposed to be a computer nerd) The plotline with Paula's kids is cute too I guess. Shout-out to Tommy subtly alluding to Brandon's ex-gf's assets and when Paula goes "what????" about the whole situation he clarifies "Boobs" without missing a beat, matter-of-fact delivery, no notes. EDIT: Is anyone else bothered by the continuity error of the Renfaire coming every two weeks in this episode but coming once a year last season? Or are we supposed to understand that the Renfaire is a mystical event with a privileged relationship to the innocence & pureheartedness of childhood, and Heather only getting to go once a year is supposed to symbolize her no longer being a child despite (at the time) her struggling to hang on to her self-image as one? And here it coming every other week for Paula's kids reminds us that despite the terrible things the show has told us about them they're still fundamentally children, and good ones at that? (and of course someone as deep into adulthood and responsibility as Paula cannot even perceive the Renfaire, hence her total unawareness of her kids going there).

Also one more comment on the season 4 theme song (now that we've seen it several times): I love that last bit at the end that "other Rebecca" does, you're right it changes every time and I also love how increasingly bizarre they are. It's a funny because this character is set up by the song as "the good, beautiful, put-together, normal one" that everybody should aspire to be and that our Rebecca is very much not (or so the opening/shot composition tells us) and then she says "I think I'm a fork" and oh no she's even weirder than Rebecca is

Chris Gaines....ah, those were the days. I went through this weird phase through middle/high school where I ONLY owned Garth Brooks' CDs. I think I took fandoms very seriously, so I was like a monogamous musical listener. I obviously bought and listened to the Chris Gaines CD as well. I remember trying to like it, in like a supportive "you tried" way (as if the unspoken support of a 14 year old girl in Maine made any difference to Garth Brooks). I just went and looked up some of the songs....I did not know that there was a MUSIC VIDEO. My god. It's weird. He's wearing his emo outfit, but it's like a light pop song that he sings in a high voice. *shudder* Y'all should do a reaction video for THAT.

I suppose we actually had 1.75 songs this episode: in addition to "Child Star" we had Tucker's nearly complete reprise of "One Indescribable Instant" (which, as Rebecca exclaimed, sounds great in real life, not just in his head). Luca Padovan was an amazing child performer (I say "was" only because he's no longer a kid; he turned 20 last month). He started on Broadway at 10, appearing in Newsies and School of Rock, and in 2018 his solo performance led off the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade on TV, 3 weeks after this episode aired.

Regarding the kids: I find the juxtaposition between Tucker and Paula's kids interesting. On the surface, Tucker seems like an "ideal kid": he's polite, well-spoken, and ambitious, i.e., the type of person parents often hope to see in their kids. Paula's kids, on the other hand, are more stereotypical teenagers, and seem like "mindless lumps" on the first glance. However, you could also say that on a deeper level, Paula's kids are much more content and confident. Sure, Paula has not been the most attentive parent but she and Scott have not left their kids any huge traumas either, and that will probably carry their kids a long way. (A tiny spoiler: We will learn more about Paula's kids in this season, and it's gonna enhance what we already learned about them in this episode.) On the contrary, Tucker is dealing with a lot of internal turmoil, and his overtly nice personality seems to be a facade, at least partly. If not stopped, he could def become Rebecca 2.0. I'm not sure how intentional this it but the show seems to send a message that to get healthy adults, you need to let kids be kids. Rebecca and Tucker both had to grow up too fast, and it is probably a huge reason why they are struggling mentally.

I love that so much. Trauma is definitely inherited in most cases. Let kids be kids is such a good point.
