An opening scene set at a roadside shrine further clarifies the differences between Judy and Jen.
Jen hates the entire roadside scene, especially the Cross.
(Ted wasnt religious.)
Is she hoping that he will confirm to Jen that the case cant be solved?
Perhaps he can offer closure by declaring that the killer cant be found.
That could be her plan.
Jen says they are surprisingly good and resilient.
Shes confronted by the fact of Charlies drug-dealing at school, and later by Henrys hair-trigger anger.
Charlies principal is taking pity on him because of Teds death and not reporting him to law enforcement.
Instead hell be suspended for two weeks; she suggests he talk to Pastor Wayne.
Where did Charlie get the pills?
He refuses to give up his source.
To say Jen is bad at handling hers is a bit of an understatement.
While theyre there, they learn that the case is indeed very, very cold.
There are no leads, witnesses, or CCTV, nor is there a vehicle.
Judy continues her seemingly self-destructive spiral when she goes to talk to Shandy about finding Teds body.
Speaking of crimes, Jen makes the horrible decision to scare her son into thinking he committed one.
All this talk of guns means someone is getting shot before the season is over.
Maybe Ted threw himself in front of the car?
Maybe he was high and stumbled?
Poor Nick points out that its not the hitting but the running that really matters.
More importantly, he says something that lingers for Judy: No car, no crime.
After Shandys mom makes her drop it off at Jens house, Judy enters another panic spiral.
Its time to get rid of the car.
Of course, Steve beat her to it.
Theres a great beat in which the principal praises the awesomeness of Lorazepam to Jen.
Its interesting perhaps important?
that Jen didnt even know her husband was on it.
She brings a solid pace and rhythm to Oh My God.
Henry likes it and wants to join the group.
Henry is so sweet.
Where do you thinkDead to Megoes in the final four?
More importantly, how do you feel about Judy?
Do you want her to get away with it or get caught?
The most interesting thing about the show is how difficult it is to answer that question.
