Yes, I do believe you predicted correctly that things kicked up a notch. Plenty to say with this one. Start by talking about Mon Mothma first, following your strategy. I had anticipated that you would lose it over the gowns at the wedding. I gave particular attention to Mon’s dress myself, saying, “JE-SUS! Woman, you keep sporting fierce look after fierce look and they all, I mean, godDAMN!!” It does get you bad when Mon offers Leida the escape route, and Leida, both as you said, being as young as she is, she doesn’t know what she really wants, combined with how her father’s just ingrained such disdain for Mon, she spits in her mom’s face with that BRUTAL line. I like how you assess the tragedy of Leida of having the empathy for her and what she’s likely condemned to, even if sympathy for her is in short supply. Tay continued to cause a fuss, and let slip some things that made Luthen say that he needed to act. Mon was holding onto the hope that she can offer a number to Tay to smooth it over, and Luthen knows that any number would be weak, that it would look bad. Say for sake of argument that Mon gave the number, Tay would look at where Mon’s at, and he would look at any number Mon gives, and he’s going to wonder what the problem is. Hence, any number she gives, that’s just going to make him more nervous and insistent. And ultimately, she knows nothing she can do will change anything. And Tay leaves the episode by getting a ride from the lovely driver whose name she offered, I believe, was a Miss Belinda Chandra. Indicating, as Vel clearly clocks, that he’s not making it to that meeting, and after Tony Jack went to all the trouble and hard work to set the meeting up. Damn shame. All done, as you said, for the greater good. (The greater good.) And the stress of the wedding, combined with everything else, (Jesus, I got some flashbacks with Mon’s last scenes by the way,) she sets to tying one on. She kept knocking back the shots, got plenty boiled and just sets to furiously “dancing so she won’t scream” as I’ve heard Genevieve describe it. Jesus did Genevieve kill that sequence. Says something when even Perrin actually looked concerned for a second, which is honestly one of the most unnerving looking things ever. Hope Mon has plenty of coffee and orange juice for the morning. Bringing me to an amusing thing. My brother had some wedding planning commentary of his own with the music, calling the DJ weak for only having one song. I added that the song sounded like Spring Break rave drivel, though I see Ryan perfectly note how it does work with the narrative. Still get behind Mon getting boiled and dancing though. In her shoes, I’d hijack the DJ, have them play big band music, and just let loose. You danced along to it, defending that the song was catchy. Not really, no, then again, I’ve been an old man with music, pretty much my whole life, so maybe I’m the one who’s wrong, so, it’s cool. The wedding gift, by the way, had my attention, and it made me request, “Yes, please speak more of these Rakatan invaders. I am most curious to hear specific details of some of their... past histories.” Love how Kleya does receive word from Cassian. Kleya, I’m really starting to live for. Here particularly how she actually starts to lose her cool when she keeps telling Cassian that she has no concrete answers to the one situation, and I loved the look on her face when Cassian hung up on her.

We now come to Dedra and Karn being in the match made in... someplace, like you said. I find myself somewhat coming around to the idea of them as a couple. Helping is that I heard Denise was of a similar mind as I was as she’s stated that she wasn’t strictly speaking super enthusiastic about the idea of Dedra and Karn becoming an item. After talking with Gilroy, she came around to it. Me, though still highly jarring, it is certainly very memorable, so I’m working with it. Your own description of it, the way you look at it further helps me in this respect, so thank you for that. Hilarious how you found Dedra’s smiling face to be unsettling. Considering how I look like Palpy and/or the Joker when I smile, I’m not one to talk. I see Ryan said the scene felt like a personal attack, frankly I’m inclined to agree. Hosting Eedy, “I should have known” as you and I both said. That dinner was HELL. Oh, I was dying the entire time. The lady makes Marie Barone seem unbelievably tame by comparison, especially with the passive aggression and the backhanded compliments, and I did NOT think that such a thing was even possible and yet, here we are. This also makes me preemptively thank my mother in the event that by some miracle the day ever comes that I find the woman for me, and the time comes to introduce her to my mom, I know that Mom’s not going to be anywhere close to being as awful as Eedy was here. Karn went off to lie down, I don’t blame him. We both just lived for Dedra putting Eedy in her place. Rare is the day when you do your fingernaps for an Imperial character as ruthless as Dedra, but the situation calls for it. Now to the Ferrix crew. The stress increases there. Great scene where the guy helping them out vents about how the Imperial sweeps are far from being a new thing, and how the people hate them. Further showcasing how people in the galaxy don’t like living in the time of the Galactic Empire and think that the Emperor is not a very nice man. This therefore begs the question: Does the Emperor care? No. Of course he cares! Anybody would care! But honestly, he doesn’t. He does. And for damn good reason: The Emperor is a perfectly nice guy, and he has the focus group data to prove it, so maybe the problem lies not with Sheev, but instead, yeah, no, I run with that any further, my tongue will snap off its roller. Even I’m not sick enough to maintain that bullshit and keep a straight face. It is such a fantastically subtle moment when Brasso yelling at the guy, “You no good dirty rotten stool pigeon!” allowed the guy to avoid further wrath from the Empire. So adored your reaction when you caught that. We both had such strong disgust for the big moment with Bix. You already sensed correctly the vibes from the one Imperial, and he lays it on thicker here. We had comments a near the same time. You said, “Sir, you need to fuck off.”, and later, you said, “Get. The FUCK away from her.”, and me, I said, “This is just repugnant. Look, you English Pete Campbell looking motherfucker, you better STEP the FUCK BACK if you know what’s good for you.” I also think we were both shaking some at that part, it was that bad. There was encouragement when she bashed the fuck’s head in, namely I said, “Hit him again and keep doing it until his head looks like a Denver omelette.” Sickening when the other Imperial had zero sympathy, so good that he got killed. Cassian gets his big damn hero moment, but alas, Brasso is killed. I dubbed him our collective bro, and it is sad to lose him. I know you liked him last season, and it hurt seeing how saddened you were to lose him, just as we will probably lose the rest of the crew. And we leave B2 behind. You were quite sad about that as well. My brother made a comment about it himself, saying, “Damn, they left B2.” A hell of a finish for the first arc of the season. Your reactions to this show have remained some of the best things, Jess, cannot wait to continue the journey with you. Thank you for the excellent reaction.

I completely abstain from alcohol (and much like Jim Gaffigan it was just a personal decision with no big drama behind it, no matter how much people ask "Why?"), so I can't personally relate to any scenes like this and just have to make an intellectual leap on what it feels like. Kind of like Richard E. Grant playing drunks multiple times despite being physically unable to digest it.

The most telling part is when she can't believe neither of them were instantly curious what she thought Dedra would look like. Makes me suspect she came up with a whole bit about that and was desperate for any setup, like Pierce and Eartha Kitt. I was a bit worried that Cassian would arrive to save Bix and make her look like a stereotypical helpless female victim, so that was a big relief. And big props to Alex Waldmann for such a brutal-looking pratfall that you fully believe would have killed him.
