“The Last Thanksgiving”

What a wonderful final episode of Shrinking.

However, I really thought this was going to end with a tragedy and I just did not want to see it happen. Thankfully, Jimmy arrived at the train station just as Louis, who had been rebuked by his friend who said that he “got drunk and murdered someone”, was about to step out in front of an oncoming train. I really thought this was going to happen and I could not handle the season coming to an end with such a horrible tragedy.

So many great things happened:

• Derek forgave Gaby and brought her mother to Thanksgiving.
• Brian and Charlie hired a nanny, and had Liz do two days a week. It was Derek’s idea at first.
• Julie kidnapped Paul again… this time to go to Gaby’s Thanksgiving. He kept saying he was under duress.
• Paul stood up and gave a beautiful speech about the people at the party being people that he did not have to hide his tremors from. It was an amazing scene and Harrison Ford knocked it out of the park.
• Sean had a nice scene with his father *finger poke*
• Summer called for help from Jimmy when she was shoplifting abortion medicine.
• Jimmy worked with Paul to try and get better after admitting that he was not okay.

The scene with Jimmy and Louis at the train station was legendary as they sat and tried to guess what other people’s jobs were. It echoed back to the past when Louis and his wife used to do that.

This was a wonderful episode to wrap up a pretty solid season overall. Shrinking will be returning for a season three on Apple TV +.
