“Depression Diet”
Gaby has to face her own guilt, grief and emotions after Maya’s death. Maya overdosed and the question of whether she did it on purpose was making things tough for Gaby. She was withdrawing from her friends, from Derrick, but not from work. However, when she discovered something she did not know, she decided to take time off.
The episode was powerfully acted by Jessica Williams and she had some really strong scenes with Harrison Ford. The friendship of Paul and Gaby is one of the most original ones on TV and it shines with the writing of this show.
Jimmy has a new first date with Sofi that is not a family remembrance of Jimmy’s dead wife. It turned into a sudden therapy session with Sofi and her ex. It seems like Jimmy and Sofi are doomed to have awkward encounters… or maybe from that kiss at the end… maybe not.
The show also dealt with Brian and Charlie becoming more assertive when it comes to Liz. Of course, this actually came from Liz.
Another great Shrinking episode with some top notch performances as the main storylines continue to move forward. This is episode 8 out of what sounds like 11 for season three.
