original release date: Tuesday, January 2, 2026 | writers: Sara A. Bibel, Lynn Martin | director: Sonia Blangiardo-Goins
Thoughts:
Seeing Martin and Vernon having a drink together by the fireplace feels so nice. And it is also nice how he (Martin) wants to look out for his grandfather. But he (Vernon) is too slick to fall for it.
Aw, I love that Tracy showed up for Anita! That is some true friendship right there, especially with Tracy having some experience with breast cancer in her life.
Marcel, you are scum. Working with Joey, sleeping with Dana. You are far from innocent in all of this. Plus, Douglas' death. Should have thought about all of this before right now.
Okay... Miss Eva is letting her feelings kind of be felt, and I like that, a lot.
I can appreciate Tracy trying to get beyond Anita's demeanour, but at the same time, I wish she would also recognise it is likely how Anita is coping with what is going on. The reactions are not linear. This is how Anita is dealing.
Brilliant advice from Vanessa; sometimes screaming over/with loud music in an enclosed, private space is the best thing one can do for themselves. That release, much like crying, is the perfect one to have.
I appreciate how much Jessica is there for Tyrell and is listening to him, truly. That, in a young person, is a rare find no matter the era.
I love seeing Laura and Mona rally around Nicole right now. Beyond a professional relationship, you can tell there is a personal one there, too, and it means the world to Nicole.
Well, Anita Williams has been awakened. That is exactly what Tracy was trying to help get out. POWERFUL!
Notes:
Bibel and Martin continue to be a solid team; however, this is not one of my favourite breakdowns from the former. She has done better.
Kudos to Blangiardo-Goins for pulling in some new angles; it seems like everyone has been tasked with that for 'season two', and she has arrived at the task with ease.
Tamara Tunie (Anita) showed up to work today. Whew. Powerful scenes and powerful performances. I am verklempt. Whew. That was brilliant.
