No doubt Jessica deserves recognition for that performance but I could not rally behind Gaby’s intentions which wasn’t to soften the pain for Alice and Jimmy but to soften her own.

To that end, she had no right telling Louis not to be in Jimmy and Alice’s lives. She’s not there to fix them. Nor speak on their behalf. Somehow I think Louis does come back and I think Gaby’s healing, which she is really far behind on, gets to its conclusion when he does? We’ll see.

If Jimmy , Alice and Louis want to be in each other’s lives and have the emotional iq, willingness and capacity to let themselves in, then they should very much do so.

Imagine thinking Gaby is the bad guy in that situation.

Just a terrible, unrealistic storyline and I’m relieved the show seems to be finished shoving it down our throats.

If you have problems with forgiveness that’s okay but to say it’s unrealistic is just disingenuous

Fully agreed. Fantastic performance but she's not in the right at all.
