Sure this wasn't the best episode of the series, but it was full of great moments. Also, almost every character got to connect with another in a positive way it seemed. Really an episode about how even small gestures can go a long way. As kids, Kevin helps Randall when he gets in trouble at school and as an adult he continues to help Nicky. Kate befriends her neighbor who is recovering from a massive stroke. Miguel stands up for Jack after being fired from his job. Deja is told by Malik that he has a child so she doesn't find out from someone else. Then has a great scene with Tess about her sexuality and not knowing how to express herself. Randall remains loyal to Jae-wan after Randall's secretary recommends she fires him and hires her. Just so many examples of these characters positive traits and paying it forward to one another like everyone should do for the ones their closest with.

Please ignore the other review on here saying Randall has too big of an "ego" and Kate being insecure. Like I said, Randall remained loyal to the guy who has been by his side since the beginning when he decided to run for city council. Also, Kate wasn't being insecure with Toby, just curious. She had every right to ask Toby about his drastic weight loss to gain a better understanding of how he's dealing with the stress of having a blind baby. Chrissy has come has come a very long way since the first season so no reason at all to shame her over her weight. Anyway, this is a solid episode and somewhat scattered episode but full of great little moments. 8/10.

Small Moments
Hitchcoc2 May 2024
The slice of life method used in this series is so wonderful. Like the other reviewer said, this is a series of small, but significant moments where each character has to deal with a momentary crisis. The big one is Miguel standing up to his boss after Jack is fired for making a glaring mistake, costing the company a bundle. He sticks his neck out an solidifies their friendship. Keven comes to Randall's rescue when he has a minor crisis (huge to him) at school. It shows he can back off and maintain family loyalty. Kate and Toby clash because he has been working out and she is putting on more weight. Each seems insignificant except to the person who is down.
