Enlightened Higher Power

[dalydj-918-255175 · 29 January 2013]

Like Consider Helen last year this episode does not focus on Amy at all but chooses Levi as the main character. Amy gets some mail from Levi as he talks about his time at the rehab resort she found so live changing compared to him who cannot deal with his experiences there. Levi in the letter does not seem to like anybody there and all the problems they complain about in the group sessions. Levi does not seem to want to say anything in group. Levi seems stressed while staying there. Levi meets some young kids who seem just like him not wanting to be there. They invite him to go to a hotel late in the night and he agrees to go. They arrive at the hotel and seem to have a lot of fun. The girl and Levi end up kissing in the stalls and she seems to be the stress relief he was looking for. This episode was very boring mainly because of the character Levi was even when with other characters. Unlike Consider Helen Wilson does not have the talent Ladd does.

EPISODE GRADE: E+ (MVP: N/A)

Levi's Turn: Levi is the star of the episode as his life takes twists and turns.

Levi is coming to realize that he loves Amy. Levi talked with Danielle about Amy, referring to her as his ex, and a do-gooder. Danielle called Amy a bitch. Levi objected, saying that Amy was not a bitch. Danielle asked if he was still in love with Amy. "Some," he replied. (Amy, had she been asked, would most likely have said the same.)

When Amy was at Open Air, she saw a sea turtle and this turtle became a kind of totem for her. In his first letter to Amy, Levi writes that he has been looking for her turtle. He tells all that all he has found is garbage. He writes, "Your turtle, if it ever existed, is gone." At the end of the episode he writes Amy another letter. He says he goes out everyday looking for her turtle. He adds, "Even if I don't find it, I know you did."

In this second letter, he is recognizing his love for Amy. He tells her that during the meditation exercises everyone is asked to remember their best self. This makes him think of Amy. "You thought I was great. Maybe you are my Higher Power." This is the true-love-never-dies" moment of the week.
