“Bolognese”

The restaurant takes a huge step forward as it overcomes a big hurdle. Ten days from opening.

We find out that the restaurant really could not afford to not hit its opening, but they had failed the fire suppression test and they had one more chance at it, but something just would not be right.

Amazingly enough, Richie, a character that I have not been a fan of even a little bit, has suddenly become a favorite. His Richie-centric episode last week went a long way to rehabilitating this character. Then, with his awesome suit, Richie went on his apology tour, showing the new Richie to everyone. This was so great.

So was Fak finding the clue about why the fire suppression test was consistently failing and having Richie tell him good job. These two characters had been going at it all of the time, but this is the new version of them. And I loved it.

I also loved how Carmy has finally accepted that Claire is his girlfriend. This running story beat worked well as everyone else seemed to understand that she was already his girlfriend, except Carmy.

However, I have that sinking feeling that something horrible is about to happen. I have no reason to believe this. I have not seen any hints dropped by the show, but it just feels like everything is heading to a good result and I am afraid everything is too good.

There are only 2 more episodes to go this season and I am very nervous.
