Such systemic condoning of Nicole’s behavior goes all the way up to the top. Petty HR quibbles are “mosquitoes” to the brass. All they care about is performance. As we’ve learned time and time again, people have no value in places like Pierpoint unless they’re making money for the company. And even then, they have an expiration date . It is absurd to think such an environment would truly put “care” over “profitability” when it came to their employees, let alone their clients.
Jesse wearing an “Of Course I Cum I’ve Got Fish to Catch” tee is so stupidly hilarious in so many different ways that I feel the need to single out the amazing work Colleen Morris Glennon has been doing in this season’s costuming department. Given that we spend so much time in sterile, slate blue environments, I enjoyed being welcomed into Jesse’s obscenely old-school house , especially as director Isabella Eklöf let us see the vastness of such a space in wide angles. It further drove home how isolated Jesse is and yet how imposing he can still be in such stuffy environments.
Oh Kenny. Just last week I was singing, well, not his praises but commenting on how interesting an evolution of his characters we’d been presented and then…between his nerve-wracking elevator pitch and his concern later in the episode, it seems like he may not get the grace he thinks he deserves. Though it must be noted that in all of this he does make Yas look all the worse.
Gus continues to surprise me. Anyone who’s complimented by being told they were always destined for politics is someone to be wary of. He may be quiet and unassuming, but to watch him effortlessly pull levers with those around him to get his way is to see a master manipulator at work. He’s a sly one!
