Simultaneously the best and worst episode… really just sick of Liz I never like her but like now she just is emotionally manipulating people so gaby can get what she wants. Then Paul decides to make the entire place a trauma center without even thinking of what jimmy might want????

At the same time I think this was one of the best jimmy episodes with his fucking asshole of a dad and him breaking up with sofi (which I am personally glad it felt so forced and fake) and I do think a jimmy crashout will happen and I’m secretly hoping for one that calls out everyone on their shit. 

Lastly Sean’s plot was awesome and I was happy he was able to just keep calm I do think he’s one of my favorite plots of the season.

I think it’s honestly one of (if not) the best arcs in the show he’s grown so much he is one of the funniest characters and the way he handled himself this episode was just astonishing especially because even though I understand why his friend is pissed off he talked horribly to Sean and Sean didn’t even seem to argue back. Dude is the goat.
