SNL Season 51 Episode 3 Review - Sabrina Carpenter

 INTRO: Going into this episode, I am expecting a lot more sketches pandering to the TikTok/Gen Z crowd, and/or some very oddball sketches, knowing that Sabrina is a big advocate for being silly. Anyways, as always, some sketches will have italicized text beneath where I give unprofessional and unnecessary ideas for how the sketches could've been improved.

COLD OPEN: Domingo

- A non-political cold open, but unfortunately, it's Domingo.

- Same old, same old. I'm bored.

- I at least got a small laugh from this being the "sixth strike" for the wife.

- Absolutely shouldn't have happened. Knowing that the first Domingo sketch got almost no laughs during dress, I like to imagine Lorne specifically just really gets a kick out of these sketches. Unfortunately, I do not.

RATING: 2/10

(My enjoyment would've been improved greatly if Domingo had been shot at the end. Credit to a Twitter user for that idea.)

MONOLOGUE: Sabrina Carpenter

- An okay joke about the album cover "controversy".

- We get a photo of Bowen here, who wasn't actually in the building tonight due as he was busy accepting the Vantage Award as an Academy Museum Gala honoree in Los Angeles.

- I was worried the entire monologue was going to go the direction of "host says they're not ___ but then reveals they are!" but thankfully it didn't.

- Very meh at Sabrina's interactions with the audience.

- A good Kenan walk-on, even if the last joke fell a bit flat.

RATING: 5/10

SKETCH: Boys Podcast

- A very meh premise, even being familiar with the exact podcast they're parodying

- The material is actually fairly fun, and it's weirding me out how well-replicated this dialogue is. 

- Random, unnecessary appearance from JAJ's Trump. 

- Trump absolutely killed this fairly fun sketch, unfortunately. Still, I won't knock the fun performances given here.

RATING: 4/10

(No Trump! Simple as that.)

PRE-TAPE: Plans

- A very fun atmosphere to this sketch.

- A good reveal of the scary text, and wonderful escalation.

- A particularly good, relatable laugh at the "the video's ELEVEN MINUTES?" line.

- Ben's giving a really good performance here.

- Yeah, this was great. Some really good, Blumhouse-esque editing here that really nailed the modern horror vibe.

RATING: 7.5/10

SKETCH: ShopTV: Pillow

- Really good bit with the Jesus Halloween basket. 

- An iffy premise with the pillow Sabrina's character is presenting being a vagina.

- I think they're really making this work, with Mikey and Ashley reactions absolutely killing me throughout this sketch.

- I find it weirdly charming they're trying to prevent Sabrina's character from realizing what's wrong with the pillow.

- Funny call-in from Kenan, especially the part where he's still on the line after Mikey asked the line to be cut.

- A sketch that worked despite it's kind of shaky premise!

RATING: 6/10

SKETCH: Girlboss Seminar

- We sure are seeing the same two women paired together in sketches. I get they have Chloe as their "veteran" and Ashley as the real stand-out, but it'd be nice to give Veronika and Sarah a bit more to do.

- A good laugh from Jeremy and Brennan twirling around a ragdoll.

- Good turn with Sabrina having a concussion and continuing her presentation with non-sensical buzzwords conjoined together. 

- Good laugh from Kenan's goofy delivery, and what I thought for a second was a gaffe when Sabrina's ragdoll slammed into the wall.

- A genuine gaffe when Jeremy's ragdoll stayed hanging on the window, and Kenan had to softly push it out of the way.

- Good fainting from Sabrina at the end.

RATING: 5/10 

PRE-TAPE: Grind Song

- I do really like the vibes of this music video already.

- A fun reveal that the kids are just getting ready to grind at the school dance.

- Not much to say, but this is a good pre-tape with some solid performances.

- I like Kenan's small verse, as well as the cut to how the dance is actually going---very awkwardly.

- Jeremy: "I think I'm in love with you." Jane: "Oh, no thank you." Good delivery from Jane there.

RATING: 7.5/10

MUSICAL PERFORMANCE: Sabrina Carpenter, "Manchild."

RATING: N/A

WEEKEND UPDATE: 

- Ah, another joke calling Colin a racist.

- Movie Guy! Not the biggest fan of these repetitive jokes, but again, Marcello's infectious energy really makes me smile and laugh anyways. 

- I did get a cheap laugh from the admittedly basic, "I Know What You Did Last Summer?" "Do you?"

- Tommy Brennan at the desk, and his first real showcase!

- I can tell Tommy's a bit nervous, but he's really picking up.

- Some solid jokes from Tommy.

- A good, if a bit predictable, joke about the Catholic priest pleasuring himself during their confessional.

- A good showcase from Tommy! Excited to see what he'll do in the future.

RATING: 5/10

SKETCH: Appliance Store

- Good laugh at the start.

- So, fun concept, and the singing is great, but there's nothing actually... funny happening here.

- Yeah, this all has a nice, fun atmosphere, but it's like they forget there needed to be some jokes thrown in here. Unless the only joke is them being bad washing machines/dryers.

RATING: 3/10

SKETCH: Surprise

- My actual reaction about twenty seconds into this sketch: "Oh. That's the joke."

- The absurdly long hold on Ashley's reaction was hilarious, and made the fart humor a tiny bit worth it.

- The joke about Ashley being angry everyone else has been promoted but her is funny, and is the only thing keeping this sketch alive.

- More fart humor.

- Jeremy's walk-on gave me real Bobby Moynihan vibes. 

- The cut to the explosion didn't really work. It honestly might've been funnier than trying to do the fake-out subversion.

RATING: 2/10

PRE-TAPE: Social Experiment

- Martin out of nowhere! Apparently this sketch got cut from dress previously, so I'm glad to see it here.

- A very fun concept with the audience being full of Frankenstein's monsters.

- Some good back-and-forth between Jane and Martin. 

- Funny turn with a previously sleeping Frankenstein's monster actually being dead.

- Good turn with Kam really vibing with the Frankenstein's monsters. It gets even funnier when it's revealed Kam has no idea who Frankenstein's monster is.

- Overall, this sketch gave me huge Nathan Fielder vibes, and I absolutely loved it. Absolutely the best sketch of the night for me. I hope we get more Martin pre-tapes.

RATING: 9/10

OVERALL THOUGHTS: A fairly 50/50 episode. Some great highs and some fairly low lows. Still, very strong pre-tapes and a couple good sketches, it's about what I'd want from a good episode of SNL. Sabrina was a really fun host, and I'd love to see her back again once the writer's room has a bit more cohesion between them all.

We had some good showcases tonight. Tommy's debut showcase really worked for me (much better than Kam's did, though even he had a good showcase in the last pre-tape) and I'm excited to see what he does. Jeremy was relegated to dancing and a small walk-on, but just those were brilliant. As I'll say over and over again, he's giving me strong Bobby Moynihan vibes as to where he'll fall into on the show. And Jane didn't really have an weak points tonight---she worked in the podcast sketch, she gave me the biggest laugh in Grind Song, and she even had some really solid back-and-forth with Martin in his pre-tape. All around, a solid night for her.

And, of course, Ashley. She is doing much more work than one would expect from a featured player, and she's absolutely killing it. We're witnessing a star in the making.

On November 1st, we have Miles Teller and Brandi Carlile! See you then.

SNL Season 51 Episode 2 Review - Amy Poehler/Role Model

 INTRO: Tonight's a very special episode, as it's SNL's date-by-date 50th anniversary episode. Going in, I knew they wouldn't make a big deal about it, and I was right. Still, I'll go in later about whether I think this episode is worthy of being SNL's 50th.

COLD OPEN: 

- Amy immediately in the cold open! Taking over from Ashley Padilla as SNL's Pam Bondi.

- I'm getting some good laughs from this cold open, even if it's nothing too special for me right now.

- It is nice to get a Trump-free cold open for once, and it feels strangely refreshing. Here's hoping we get a non-political one soon?

- Huge laugh from Jeremy's whole Epstein bit. 

- Yeah, Amy's crushing it in this cold open, and it's not just her delivery carrying these lines. 

- Tina Fey cameo, as expected. And she's SNL's Kristi Noem. 

- Great reaction from Mikey.

- Solid delivery and chemistry from Fey and Poehler, as was to be expected.

- Strangely surreal to see Amy and Tina giving a LFNY together in 2025.

RATING: 7/10

MONOLOGUE: Amy Poehler

- Always a delight to see Amy at homebase.

- Good to see the new cast members get a small spotlight, even if this feels more fitting to happen in a premiere. 

- Not the strongest of jokes, but Amy's making everything work here.

- A nice, more real segment as Amy talks about SNL going on for 50 years.

- Overall, I'm just delighted to have Amy Poehler back.

RATING: 6/10

SKETCH: The Rudeman's

- Immediately got Debbie Downer vibes from this sketch, and that's worrying for me. I only really liked the first Debbie Downer sketch for a reason I'm sure everyone is aware of.

- Yeah, this is just awfully tepid and boring.

- This is doing nothing for me at all. Even Mikey's sudden outburst at the end failed to get a laugh from me. 

RATING: 1.5/10

(I think this sketch could've worked if literally anything happened. Sudden escalation, be crazy with it. This sketch is already absurd, just go as far as possible. You're allergic to recurring sketches in this era anyways, so don't worry about trying to top yourself next time. Kill someone in the sketch, for all I care!)

PRE-TAPE: Non-Alcoholic Beer

- A maybe unintentional laugh from a very young looking Andrew saying, "I'm getting too old for this."

- Good laughs from all of the reactions to Andrew's beverage, but I can't help but think about Vanessa in this sketch, as she's always sort of been the queen of smiling-through-absurdity in commercials for me.

- Loved Kam's line about the smell of gasoline.

- Good ending with Andrew running from Ben as a cop.

RATING: 7/10

SKETCH: The Fast Psychic

- I'm probably one of the younger people who immediately clocked this was going to be a Sylvia Browne parody.

- Amy feels so natural in this role, and she's absolutely killing the fast delivery here. 

- Love the turn here with Amy just bluntly telling everyone their loved one is dead.

- Particularly laughed at the "My husband-"/"He's dead."/"No, actually, he's right here." exchange.

- Good laugh from Kam's shocked reaction to being told his father was dead, despite already knowing.

- Funny corrections scroll for all the people misidentified as being dead. It reminds me a lot of the corrections scroll that the Fox & Friends sketches have.

- Loved Jane's reaction to hearing that she's dead.

- Hilarious part with the camera panning over the audience while Amy rapid fires psychic readings, especially with the "Marry, F, Kill," bit.

- Funny walk-on (or I guess, stand-up) from Marcello at the end. Honestly, he does sometimes feel to me like a Hispanic Andy Samberg in these live sketches. 

- Great ending with the call-back to the hard out at 7.

- Overall, absolutely flawless. Loved this to bits.

RATING: 9/10

PRE-TAPE: Hunting Wives.

- A parody of a show I've never seen in my life, so it's a 50/50 if it'll be enjoyable.

- What do you know, it's enjoyable. It's a bit funny seeing Amy and Ashley overshadow Chloe in a pre-tape so effortlessly.

- Aubrey Plaza cameo!

- A good bit with the homoerotic tension being broken by homophobia.

- A solid pre-tape, even if I think it might've worked better if I'd seen this show.

RATING: 6.5/10

SKETCH: Work Birth

- Feels like the kind of sketch Amy would've signed up for back when she was actually pregnant during her tenure.

- Amy's, of course, absolutely perfect in this role. I don't think anyone else could've pulled this off as well is she is.

- Amazing performance by Ben, who's playing a very Will Ferrel-esque role, as many others have pointed out. 

- For all the wackiness of the sketch, it lost me a bit with Bowen's part at the end, but not completely.

RATING: 7/10

MUSICAL PERFORMANCE: Role Model "Sally,  When The Wine Runs Out."

- During this performance, I texted my friend many messages, including, "Is he supposed to sound like that???" and "Oh." 

- Seriously, why does the audio sound so raw? And not in an artistic, interesting way. In a I'm watching my older cousin show off the new music he just wrote" way.

- I'm so out of the loop with Role Model, and I also didn't recognize Charli XCX when she entered, so this whole "Sally" bit did absolutely nothing for me.

- I don't really like rating Musical Performances, but this one gets a special 1/10 from me because what the fuck did I just watch? I understand, performance jitters, but still.

WEEKEND UPDATE: 

- Solid Jigsaw joke.

- A new Sarah character.

- While I'm not really a fan of this, I doubt that "the Zohran voters would use this toothless commentary as an example how evil SNL is." This is light-hearted jabs given by a character that's obviously supposed to be in the wrong, this is the kind of stuff the right would take offense to but play off as being totally in on. 

- The Jost-parting-with-Epstein bit wasn't all that funny, but not nearly worthy the anger I saw a lot of people give it because it's a joke about Colin being a sex pest. 

- GRANT AND ALYSSA! 

- As my profile picture on this website would suggest, I adore G&A. I understand that it's Marcello and Jane basically just tapping into their default performance mode, (Marcello shouting, Jane being awkward) but lord does it work perfectly for me. IMO, this is exactly how cast should be utilized, I don't see why it's a problem for them to be tapping into what they are best at doing, especially because the writing is always fairly solid for G&A. 

- It's a bit obvious the show lost two writers of this sketch (2/3 of PDD), as it feels a lot more off than usual. I think Marcello might be using a different voice as well. 

- The Sylvia Plath line is exactly what I mean when I say Jane's deadpan delivery can work sometimes. 

- Good bit with the pumpkins, I love how earnestly Grant loves his pumpkin. 

- More thoughts on these guys at the end, but it needs to be known G&A are in my heart. 

- A Joke-Off! I expected Amy to return to the desk, and even Tina, but seeing Seth really made me happy. Despite the very eh feel Seth had towards the latter half of his solo desk era, I still have a very nostalgic connection to that era that makes me keen to his delivery style. 

- Lots of good punchlines to this joke, though I think the previous one with Amy/Tina/Jimmy/Seth was a bit funnier. 

- Very nice way to end Update, and felt like both cameos for Amy, and a nice nod to this being the 50th anniversary. 

RATING: 8/10, if only because Sarah's commentary was a bit eh. 

(Seeing as they're really all this era has going for them in terms of recurring characters, we're probably seeing Grant and Alyssa again. Personally, I think it'd be a crime to leave them at the desk. These characters can only really shine and grow by putting them in new situations, and thus, putting them in sketches. I saw discussion on Twitter about a a potential "meet the family" sketch, with Grant being the Boston Teenagers' kid and Alyssa being The Needlers' daughter, and while that's too cameo-heavy and nostalgia bait-y for me, it's the kind of direction I think these characters should go to, if they really want G&A to shine. It's funny hearing what they do in different situations, but it'd be funnier to actually see them.) 

SKETCH: Experienced Lawyers 

- Great entrance from Amy. Seeing a wall get burst through in the first half minute of the sketch says a lot about the escalation we're about to see. 

- More and more lawyers appearing to try and best the previous' level of experience is hilarious, and I love how they're all tied to testimonials. 

- Jane's flat delivery halted the sketch a bit, but not enough to fully stop it in its tracks. 

- A really great part with "Clones, activate!" Absolutely love that. 

- As many have pointed out, Jeremy's expression in this sketch is giving a lot of Bobby Moynihan energy, and honestly I can see him slowly becoming this era's Bobby Moynihan. 

- Sarah absolutely killed me with the Draculaw entrance, and it's a pun I can't believe I haven't seen in another sketch or comedy piece. 

- An eh reaction to Bowen as the great World Tree, but Kenan as Zeus managed to salvage this turn. 

- Overall, an absolute classic with nearly zero flaws. I can see myself coming back to this over and over again, and I'm sure it'll be divisive between many people. please more sketches like this SNL please please please please. 

RATING: 9.5/10 

MUSICAL PERFORMANCE: Role Model "Some Protector" 

- Not much to say, just that this is an amazing improvement over the previous song. I actually enjoyed this one! 7/10 

SKETCH: Emo Mom 

- JAJ is absolutely killing it as a kind, suburban father. 

- Amy is, of course, killing it as a menopausal mother going through her emo phase. And she looks fantastic to boot. 

- Just great lines from everyone here, I love the back-and-forth between everyone. - Fun walk-ons from Jane, Kam, and Ben as goths, and they all look stunning in those outfits. 

- The disgusting tattoo reveal at the end is, to use a strange analogy at 2 AM, kind of like the end of the Boombox Digital Short: almost more disturbing than it is funny. 

- An absolutely killer piece. 

RATING: 8.5/10 

SKETCH: Theme Songs Masterclass 

- This isn't doing much for me, even a minute in. 

- As to be expected, solid performances from JAJ and Amy, but otherwise, really nothing to write home about here. 

RATING: 3/10 

OVERALL THOUGHTS: I'm aware some people weren't hot on this episode, but for me, it was fantastic, and exactly what the show needed after how rough the Bad Bunny episode was. While they sandwiched by two bad sketches (Rudeman's and Theme Songs), tonight was really solid. Highlights for me of course include Grant and Alyssa, Experienced Lawyers, and Emo Mom, but there was something enjoyable in practically every sketch. 

Amy was, of course, a sketch stealer throughout the entire night, and I'm so glad she came to host. Overall, an episode with a few misses, mostly hits, and an absolutely classic? I think this episode is fairly fitting as a representation of 50 years of SNL. 

I'll see you all next week for what I'm sure will be a heavy TikTok-pandering episode with Sabrina Carpenter hosting!

SNL Season 51 Episode 1 Review - Bad Bunny/Doja Cat

INTRO TO REVIEW: Unfortunately couldn't get this review out earlier, but it's happening now! I did rewatch these segments prior to this review, so I've got about three viewings of each sketch in. Amy's episode will be posted either earlier tonight or tomorrow!

To introduce my format quickly: If you've seen Stooge's One SNL A Day Project, it's basically that. Segment title, a list of my thoughts, and a rating at the end. Occasionally, I will offer my very amateur and needless thoughts on how a sketch could possibly improve. Enjoy!

COLD OPEN: Military Meeting

- Absolutely love to see Jeremy Culhane opening up the season. He's the only one of the new 5 featured players that I'm familiar with, and it's been lovely to see everyone be so excited for him to premiere. And he's pretty solid with his delivery here.

- Colin as Secretary of War, Peter Hegseth. It makes good use of his Harvard-graduate look and charm, and the novelty of seeing him doing a character is always a delight. 

- I think I'm a fan of Colin's performance here more than most of the other review bloggers.  You'll see I'm a bigger fan of flatter performances than most when we get to a certain featured player next episode

- The expected JAJ Trump. As practically everyone else has said, his impression is much too kind to the real man. I did get a few laughs, but it's definitely not what I want to see over and over once again this season. 

- A very energetic, solo LFNY to kick off the night.

RATING: 6/10

(Of course, I would've loved to see no Trump tonight. I think the writing for Hegseth was, as is usual with SNL's political sketches recently, just not funnier than what it's parodying. I mean, they were harder on Obama, and that's Obama! Just a universal wish for SNL to be stop being toothless in today's political climate.)

MONOLOGUE: Bad Bunny

- I know some people find Bad Bunny unfunny because of his stilted delivery, and frankly, I think that's idiotic. This is a funny guy, and I can absolutely understand the difficulty with speaking the awful language that is English.

- Nothing to really say about this monologue, for the most part.

- A good laugh from Bad Bunny commenting, after speaking Spanish for an extended time, "And if you didn't understand that, you have four months to learn."

RATING: 5/10

Sketch: Jeopardy!

- I mean Jesus Christ. With the killer reputation basically every other Jeopardy! sketch holds, it's almost embarrassing to see something so tepid and amateur. 

- I did get a single laugh from this sketch, of course provided by Kenan going through Bad Bunny's thought process, before BB replies "No, that wasn't it at all." 

- Overall, an awful lead-off sketch to start the premiere, and just so embarrassingly lazy.

RATING: 2/10

(Aside from literally just not using this premise, I would've loved some sort of escalation. Unfortunately, once you start escalating, you quickly run into the trap of the sketch just being Celebrity Jeopardy without the celebrities. There's just no salvaging such a freshman idea. This is the kind of thing I would've written as a sketch idea in the 9th grade.)

PRE-TAPE: ChatGPTIO

- A relatable premise for me, rather than just a bit of a silly one that I'm sure it is for most SNL reviewers.

- I am, personally, a big fan of Marcello. As much as his performances can boil down to yelling things in an exaggerated accent, he has enough charisma that it works for me 90% of the time.

- Marcello's performance here is elevating the lines, especially a particularly angry, "You don't!" in response to being asked how to make vegan bread.

- Funny moment with Bad Bunny.

- While I would've loved a more biting attack on ChatGPT (SNL is usually very happy to make fun of the wacky things millenials and Gen Z are into), this was funny and relatable for me as a Mexican.

RATING: 6/10

SKETCH: The Donor

- Funny reveal of Bad Bunny's appearance.

- I'm getting a few laughs from the premise here, but it's not nearly as funny as I think it could be.

- Another funny appearance reveal, this time from Kenan.

- And a third funny reveal, this time a walk-on from Marcello. Though, this one definitely wasn't as funny as I think the writer's thought it'd be.

- Yeah, overall, while I did get a few chuckles, this sketch really didn't do much for me.

RATING: 4/10

SKETCH: K-Pop Demon Hunters

- Another restaurant set! How easy would it have been to just set this sketch literally anywhere else? 

- I am much more online than the 40 year old men who usually have these blogs, so I'm happy to say I'm familiar with K-Pop Demon Hunters, even if I've never actually sat down and watched the movie.

- This premise just is not working for me. It's like they knew they had to reference the movie, so they just picked some generic premise they could put the skin of K-Pop Demon Hunters over.

- Oh, yeah, obviously cameos from the voices of the main characters. A novelty I'm sure I'd be more excited about if I'd actually seen the movie. I'm sure this will be the most watched segment on YouTube.

RATING: 3/10

Musical Performance: Doja Cat, "AAAHH MEN!"

- N/A

WEEKEND UPDATE:

- Again, unlike most of my fellow SNL review bloggers, I am not advocating for Colin and Che to leave the Update desk. I mean, they continue to consistently be the most-watched segment of any episode, they still have killer chemistry, their jokes work for me---really, I don't see them stopping anytime soon, unless Colin and Che suddenly feel burnt out or get some other offer that's more attractive for them. 

- Solid jokes tonight.

- Kam Patterson first appearance being on Update, something I predicted a few days before the episode's premiere.

- Kam has a bit of a eh delivery, but that's never really bothered me. His jokes aren't anything strong, but he's still coming off likable enough.

- Yeah, nothing special.

- Bowen as Dobby the House Elf. I'm sure this will stay non-political.

- No way! It's political! I do love to see some insults being thrown at Joanne Rowling, though, but I can't forgive this commentary for just being unfunny.

RATING: 5/10 (to be clear, for me, a Weekend Update 5 is like a sketch 7/10)

SKETCH: Inventing Spanish

- Some good laughs during this sketch, but nothing really to write home about. 

- A Benito del Toro cameo, that's neat to see.

- A few more laughs, but again, this sketch isn't doing much for me.

RATING: 5/10

MUSICAL PERFORMANCE: Doja Cat, "Gorgeous"

- N/A

SKETCH: Parent-Teacher Conference

- Ashley Padilla in a leading role!

- Marcello is getting some laughs out of me.

- Ashley is absolutely killing it in this sketch. You can tell she's just so natural in sketch comedy, unlike a lot of the stand-ups that SNL tends to hire now for some reason.

- Love Ashley trying to explain the increasingly insulting drawings as just kindness and childish imagination. 

- Overall, yeah, definitely the best sketch so far. SNL, I beg, please, put Ashley in everything.

RATING: 7.5/10

SKETCH: The Kid From Number Eight

- I jumped when this sketch started. I have so many fond memories from watching El Chavo de Ocho, and I knew immediately this was written with a lot of love.

- The performances here are spot-on and top notch, everyone is absolutely perfect here.

- The purposefully cheesy slapstick is absolutely doing it for me.

- Of course it ends with everyone crying, and somehow even that was impersonated absolutely perfectly.

- While I didn't have much to say, yeah, this was my favorite sketch of the night. Even if it did just feel like An Episode Of El Chavo de Ocho, I loved it regardless.

RATING: 9/10

OVERALL THOUGHTS: Save for the a couple of sketches, this night was horrid. Sketches were either boring and tepid or just forgettable, and Weekend Update had two slogs of commentaries. Of course, we have one of my new favorites, The Kid From Number Eight, but that's about it.

Ashley really stood out in this episode, and Marcello especially got a lot of screentime. You can tell SNL is taking a hit from losing two of their star female performers, and its a shame they only have writers familiar with Chloe Fineman now.

Bad Bunny is a charismatic and likeable guy, but I just really don't think he's a good fit for SNL. Still, I like him enough as a host that I don't think I'd be too upset if he was asked back again.

And, as a final note, I damn near forgot Tommy Brennan was introduced this episode, but that's to be expected with a cast this size and five new featured players. Interestingly, the only cast member not in this episode was Jane, who only showed up for goodnights. No comment on that.

Luckily, I know things pick up in the next episode. See you then!
