Hope ("Burned" S1 EP 10)
Courtney, Laura, and Daphne are back to dissect the episode where Billy is robbed on the 'bad side of town' and makes sweeping generalizations about a whole community, leading to an exploration of race relations. The trio wonders if the story would have played out differently if there had been Black writers on the show, how Vanessa Estelle Williams influenced the episode, and Courtney reveals she wishes she had received more direction in the scene where she gets defensive with Rhonda. Meanwhile, on the lighter side of things, Jake gets a surprise visit from his estranged mother, leading to some cringeworthy moments, and Michael and Jane aren't faring so well in parenting classes, which Courtney finds hilarious and relatable.
