The last 20 minutes of this episode felt more real and conveyed the messy mix of emotions of a complex relationship more genuinely than any stage, cinema, or television production I've ever seen. I've thoroughly enjoyed the naturalistic writing and acting as well as voyueristic peak into the intersecting lives and relationships of these characters, but even if I had been less enamored with this series, this episode alone would have been the pay off that made the journey worthwhile. Elizabeth Reaser gives a career defining performance in just 20 minutes with a heart-wrenching, eerily real, resonant, and astonishingly vulnerable performance. I can only imagine how difficult that must have been to undertake and I can only hope that was shot in one take because the thought of her having to go through that multiple times seems torturous to my mind. This should be her submission for an Emmy and if she doesn't win I would be shocked. Brava Ms. Reaser, BRAVA!!!
