Insecure: Chillin, Okay?! - Episode Reaction
By: T.K
After all the drama the past two episodes, it was time to finally have a girl’s night. This week, we see Lawrence step up and my boy Nathan saving his fan club.
“It Holds Power..”
Episode starts at Issa’s apartment, where Molly, Kelli and Tiffany have met up to start a day of relaxation for Molly, who has been stressed due to her mother’s health. Issa plans to meet at her house and then head to a spa, but when a pipe bursts at the spa, they are forced to stay home until their dinner reservation. Tiffany plays Diddy’s “Last Night” featuring Keyshia Cole and the girls sing their hearts out. Issa suggests they play Questions in a Hat, where anonymous questions are thrown in a hat and randomly selected by them.
Co-Parenting...
In Lawrence’s world, It looks like Lawrence and Condola are trying and getting the hang of co-parenting. It looks like he has moved back to LA to be closer to his son and help Condola. Example, he volunteers to help build a bookshelf for her and hangs around the house helping her. He lets her know that Elijah likes the “choo choo train” method more than the airplane method when it comes to feeding him. To the audience and myself it shows that, Lawrence is not back seating fatherhood and putting his son first which makes me like more now but I’m still #TeamNathan.
Back at Issa…
Back at girl’s night, we learned everybody would hook up with Issa’s ex Daniel which I can’t complain about! That’s a beautiful man! Anyways, the girls agree with Nathan that she is inconsistent. You gotta love her friends for knowing it and keeping it real with her. While getting dressed for their dinner reservation, Tiffany drops a huge bombshell on the girls : She and Derek might be moving to Denver. The news shocks all the women, but Kelly the most. She explains why she hasn’t said anything because she isn’t ready to face the news and is afraid that if they do decide to have more kids, she might become depressed again. The girls reassure her and let her know if it happens, they are jumping on the next flight to Denver.
After the bombshell, the girls decide to slip in pajamas and skip the dinner reservations. They decide to turn up and smoke on the balcony. Issa decides to help Molly kick things off with Taurean. Before the text can be sent, Dro, Molly’s old fling, calls her. Kelli reminds us the Questions in the Hat truly holds power. Issa, being inspired, decides to call Lawrence. Thank goodness, Molly saves her and lets her know that this is why Nathan believes she is inconsistent.
Next morning, After all the girls leave, Nathan comes through and holds himself accountable and explains his thoughts and feelings and saids “ I love you.” I knew I could count on him and saved himself. Another great episode in the books!
