The season is a disaster. You could delete the Nate and Jules subplot and lose nothing. Nate as a pathetic withering mess does nothing for me.
Lexi as the 4th wall doesn't work either, mainly because Apatow just isn't a strong actress.
Sweeney was probably the MVP of the episode. You get way more out of that Cassie character when you get her out of the house and around other people. I don't care about her Onlyfans career, just put her in strange situations.
They had to drag out the Laurie/Alamo tit-for-tat in order to give Rue a storyline, but until the final scene that wasn't working either.
