Another episode, another psychotic break. The show continues to explore deeply rooted prejudice in different kinds of Judaism, and how orthodox religion can tear families apart. Alan's son Ezra has been talked about and briefly shown in flashbacks up until this point. His perspective during this episode gave us insight into his sad life full of regret and suppression. The intense emotions at the dinner table, awkward but empathetic interactions with his sister, and desperately searching for his missing father. All of this turmoil paints a vivid portrait of the character, who I found myself empathizing with.
Sam's psychosis develops further as he begins to question the effectiveness of Alan's therapy. Once again, much of this episode was spent inside of Alan's head speaking to an imaginary therapist. It is tough to say where it will go from here, but safe to say I am invested in the outcome.
