13
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,200
All right, now we're going to 
get into the recap for And Just 

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,920
like That season 3, episode 1. 
Here's what I'm going to say. 

15
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,480
OK. 
I enjoyed this episode and I 

16
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,880
think, and I was glad to see a 
couple of reviews that that sort

17
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,120
of confirmed what I was 
thinking, you know? 

18
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,280
What? 
I didn't hate it either. 

19
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,040
I really did not want to watch 
it. 

20
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,160
I was not looking forward to it 
at all and it was fine. 

21
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,560
It felt more like the old Sex in
the City to me. 

22
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,920
And I think a lot of that had to
do with the fact that they cut 

23
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,320
down on the characters because 
they were thinning out the 

24
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:27,760
stories, right? 
And they had characters that we 

25
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,240
just didn't care. 
We didn't care about Che and 

26
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,320
Nya. 
Well, I so wish they had 

27
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:34,440
developed that character more. 
Yeah. 

28
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,800
I thought she was so 
interesting. 

29
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:40,200
She was. 
And unfortunately, but also too,

30
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,080
we had two, really we had two 
black women who were like 

31
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,080
powerful and very smart and 
successful. 

32
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,120
They should have done the spin 
off honestly. 

33
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,040
Right. 
And I feel like they kind of 

34
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,640
cancel each other out and then. 
In the writers room, that 

35
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,000
appears to be what happened. 
Yes. 

36
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,560
And so when they when when Naya 
when they cut the character of 

37
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,520
Naya, we have more focus on 
Lisa. 

38
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,840
I'm just going to say this, Lisa
to me, Lisa's my favorite 

39
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,440
character, OK, I. 
Have a question? 

40
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,520
Yes. 
Who? 

41
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,039
Wasn't somebody pregnant at the 
end of last season or was there 

42
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:12,800
a miscarriage? 
It was Lisa and she had a 

43
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,880
miscarriage. 
She had a miscarriage, yes. 

44
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,120
I was very confused when the 
show opened because I was like, 

45
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,720
I could have sworn Lisa was 
pregnant. 

46
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,480
I didn't remember the 
miscarriage but. 

47
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:23,880
Yeah, she miscarried. 
I mean, that makes sense. 

48
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,880
How are you going to have a 
pregnancy storyline? 

49
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,080
In a show about women who were 
like menopausal. 

50
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,560
So I loved her storyline. 
But let's start with Carrie and 

51
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,040
this palatial glacial apartment 
that she lives in. 

52
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,480
It's how many 4 bedrooms? 
All these different. 

53
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,000
Oh my God. 
Opening with the alarm system, 

54
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,560
I'm calling it now. 
It's foreshadowing she's going 

55
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,480
to get robbed and I am here for 
it. 

56
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,680
OK, something's going to happen.
I cannot wait for the burglary 

57
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,160
episode. 
But but I felt that the alarm 

58
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,360
was a metaphor, right? 
Calls coming from inside the 

59
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,280
house. 
I felt that the alarm, the 

60
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,000
sensors were a metaphor of 
what's going on internally. 

61
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,840
That's. 
Like the way the alarm keeps 

62
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,520
going off and she's like, no, 
it's not. 

63
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,360
Right. 
But more like, and I think it 

64
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,880
was most obvious with Miranda, 
you know, Miranda's whole. 

65
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,080
And we'll get to that, that 
story because I actually really 

66
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,520
liked that. 
Love that. 

67
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,680
Story. 
I loved it. 

68
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,760
I loved it and but we'll get to 
it. 

69
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,200
There's something about the 
alarm that I feel as though they

70
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,200
were, they were, you know how I 
love that Thruway I'm trying to 

71
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,320
find and I could not find the 
theme for this episode. 

72
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,520
And I felt like the alarm 
represented Carrie's attitude 

73
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,560
towards this relationship with 
Aiden, where the alarm's going 

74
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,440
off and going on and she's 
saying, no, it's not. 

75
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,840
The door isn't open, but it's 
wrong. 

76
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,240
Nothing's wrong, but there is 
something wrong with the alarm 

77
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,240
is sounding and she's ignoring 
it, right? 

78
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,840
The alarm is sounding in the 
form of Anthony and she's 

79
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,840
getting mad at it. 
Right, Anthony. 

80
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,240
See, this is what I mean. 
I feel like they've really, 

81
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,120
really developed these 
characters. 

82
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,840
They have a. 
They have a better handle on 

83
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,360
them because they're not writing
for as many. 

84
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,840
Right. 
She's just Cloud Chase. 

85
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,320
Oh, I didn't. 
Christ, she's she. 

86
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,600
They're not talking. 
They're writing postcards. 

87
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,560
Her and Aiden are writing 
postcards to each other, not. 

88
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:14,560
Even. 
No. 

89
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,000
Not even with words on. 
Them, I mean, it's the stupidest

90
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,839
thing. 
And so she goes out. 

91
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,400
When they're at the bar and 
Carrie's like, Aiden said he 

92
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,800
needed no communication. 
What? 

93
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,320
Right. 
What what? 

94
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,920
Listen and I said this in my 
recap video on TikTok. 

95
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,920
I truly believe that Carrie is 
accepting this arrangement 

96
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,440
because Carrie is still 
punishing herself for cheating 

97
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,920
on Aiden still and I think he's 
still punishing her for choosing

98
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,280
Big over him. 
They're really. 

99
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,200
Definitely. 
He made her buy that whole 

100
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,880
apartment, right? 
Could you? 

101
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,440
Imagine an infant. 
Because he wouldn't go into her 

102
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,040
apartment, he still refused to 
do it, but that really should 

103
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,720
have told her he's not over it. 
He's literally an infant. 

104
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,800
He's not over it, Carrie. 
He won't even go into your 

105
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:02,560
apartment. 
I. 

106
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,640
Don't know. 
I mean obviously Kerry is not a 

107
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,080
real person, but like, what is? 
What is Kerry thinking trying to

108
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,280
date somebody with kids, period?
That's the other thing too. 

109
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,600
That's the other. 
Thing too. 

110
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,360
You know you can't do that, 
right? 

111
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,160
You are not OK with being the 
second. 

112
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,440
You're not OK with it, Carrie. 
You're just not. 

113
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,200
You couldn't even stand. 
Even when you were first in 

114
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,640
Big's life, you were still 
neurotic, right? 

115
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,080
Right. 
I mean, she was obsessed with 

116
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,280
his ex-wife. 
She was obsessed with Natasha, 

117
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,320
right? 
Yeah. 

118
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,920
No, she's not the Carrie Brash. 
I was not going to tolerate 

119
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,920
children of any age. 
Correct, although. 

120
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,640
She is good with Lily and she's.
Very good with Lily, I love 

121
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,480
their relationship. 
What's Charlotte's on our kids 

122
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:39,560
name? 
I can't remember Rock. 

123
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:40,680
Thank you. 
Yeah. 

124
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,240
Rock. 
And so she goes out and she's 

125
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,240
telling Charlotte and Miranda. 
And Charlotte's like, oh, a 

126
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,160
postcard. 
That's so great. 

127
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,760
And Maria, just thinking you're 
being that excited over a 

128
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,040
postcard. 
But at one point Miranda says to

129
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,040
Carrie, listen, if you're if 
you're happy with it, where's 

130
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,040
what? 
Who? 

131
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,480
That was huge for Miranda. 
Who? 

132
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,200
Was that was huge for Miranda. 
But we don't want to see that. 

133
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,480
I don't want to see that. 
Well, someones got to be the 

134
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,080
voice of reason, right? 
Right. 

135
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,040
It's not going to be Sema except
for herself, right? 

136
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,560
Which is refreshing. 
Right. 

137
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,600
And I love the way they 
juxtapose those two characters. 

138
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:14,480
Yeah, right. 
Yeah. 

139
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,200
So they go to a lesbian bar with
Miranda, and Miranda is still 

140
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,720
very awkward. 
Like she's still that awkward 

141
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,520
person, right? 
And she so she's still very 

142
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,160
awkward, right? 
And she's at this bar and 

143
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,800
they're trying to encourage her 
and they're being sort of her 

144
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,720
wing women. 
And then someone waves at her 

145
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,080
and it turns out to be Brady's 
old girlfriend and she just 

146
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,040
starts trauma dumping Brady. 
'S old babysitter. 

147
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,680
Thank you, Brady. 
Brady's old babysitter. 

148
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,800
And she just starts trauma 
dumping, right. 

149
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,480
And it's sort of exposition. 
She has to let everybody know. 

150
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,640
Yeah, we sold the Brown house. 
Yeah. 

151
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,840
We're divorced. 
So this is what's going on since

152
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:51,440
two years ago. 
And it's just so, it's so cringy

153
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,920
because not only does she talk 
about we sold it and the 

154
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,960
divorce, but also I'm in the 
program. 

155
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,320
She's just going and going and 
going and going. 

156
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,720
Yeah. 
And you're cringing for her. 

157
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,600
And I. 
We're just seeing she's always, 

158
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,120
but she's always been like that,
right? 

159
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,920
Like she's always needed 
somebody to tell her she was 

160
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,960
attractive. 
She's always needed somebody to 

161
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,320
want her. 
Yeah, that whole scene struck me

162
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,200
as very much in character for 
her. 

163
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,720
Yes, I would agree. 
So then it's the end of the 

164
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,480
night and she's just hanging out
at this bar. 

165
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,200
And again I'm thinking, girl, 
just go home. 

166
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,800
Yeah. 
And she sees this woman and this

167
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,560
woman is in jeans, in a in a 
button down shirt that's 

168
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,560
untucked. 
It's Rosie O'Donnell. 

169
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,720
It's Rosie O'Donnell and you can
tell right away this woman 

170
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,440
doesn't live here. 
At least I could tell that as 

171
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:37,840
someone who lives there, lives 
here. 

172
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,520
And she and Miranda talk for 
maybe 2 minutes and she says I 

173
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,360
have a hotel room and Miranda's 
like cool. 

174
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,640
And they leave. 
And that to me was shocking. 

175
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,680
But I'm a straight woman. 
I don't know that that's like, 

176
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,960
is it different? 
I I would assume that it's 

177
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,120
different because you don't have
that fear of danger. 

178
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,640
It was different for them. 
It was different for them. 

179
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,480
So they go back to the hotel 
room. 

180
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,680
They have sex. 
They wake up the next morning 

181
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,080
and this woman, Rosie O'Donnell,
her character named Mary. 

182
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,520
Mary says, you know, that was 
her first time, and Miranda's 

183
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,000
ever. 
Maria's like, you were a virgin.

184
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,320
And she's like, yes. 
And on top of that, she's a nun.
