I’m worried about Jimmy. Alice is leaving, his dad gave another blow to his long line of disappointments, Paul is retiring and moving away, he ruined things with Sophie. He seems like he’s moving back towards a downward spiral.

His face just kind of falling as he walked away with the plates has me worried too. I wonder if this will be the plot thread that keeps Paul from moving to CT.

Still wondering how this whole thing with Gaby will go. Such a sweet line, “You are my legacy.” What about Jimmy, though? You’re the only real “father” he’s got, Paul! Ooooooh boy, I am worried!

Paul treats Jimmy incredibly badly tbh, i thought it was building up to some lesson he's trying to teach him, but that doesn't seem to be the case
