"Three episodes into the season, and we're finally getting taglines, and the good news is that they were worth the wait. In fact, these are some of the best in recent memory. Meredith's monotone voice saying, "While you drop lies, I'm dropping the beat," teases her upcoming DJ arc. "I'm Greek, and the rest are just a tragedy," Angie purrs. And perhaps best of all (and the most factual tagline in history), Mary's is, "I'm just here to eat, drink, and be Mary." Well, yes!"
"After a brief, yet beautiful scene of Lisa rearranging chairs for a Sundance party, the episode begins with Bronwyn getting lunch with Todd, who always appears to have been tricked into filming the show, and we hear about the health struggles her parents have been going through. They just moved her father into a memory care facility, but her mother is still living with them after recovering from surgery for a brain tumor. And if that's not bad enough, she's got Lisa Barlow on her case, but Todd encourages her not to engage."
Strong taglines reveal character personalities: Meredith hints at a DJ arc, Angie delivers a sharp Greek line, and Mary declares she's here to eat, drink, and be Mary. A brief scene shows Lisa rearranging chairs for a Sundance party. Bronwyn has lunch with Todd and learns her parents face health struggles: her father moved into memory care while her mother recovers from brain tumor surgery and lives with them. Editing draws attention to a close-up of Todd adding Splenda to his iced tea and inconsistent drink levels, creating continuity quirks. Bronwyn cleans out her childhood home and faces her mother's gratitude toward Todd's money.
