As the title suggests I guess. I just found this episode a bit of a non-sequiteur and a chore.
It feels like they're getting lost with Cliff; Jane's thread was good but somehow lacking in the heart I'd expect for such an important moment for her; in contrast, Larry's was the best part of this by a mile and suitably poignant.
I don't find Laura to be an interesting character and think her trajectory is obvious and meandering.
But this was all about the sisterhood, wasn't it? I confess I love Rita, but the whole 1949 arc is just not resonating with me and I found their outsiders' group story clichéd, the partying and "piffle paffle" dancing etc., SO annoying and forced.
It could just be I'd binged a bit too much when I watched it, and I'm sorry my only review to date is a negative one for a series I really like, but I really found this an annoying episode that didn't feel in sync with the series' flow.
