We dont really need to see it to know what it says: June left with Kase for Oceanside.

It certainly speaks to the state of her marriage that June couldnt have that conversation in person.

He acts as if nothings changed.

The reaction we see from Matt is more on par with what we might have expected from Oscar.

But Oscar declines this, too.

In fact, hes gonna gofindher.

The whole scene is a little predictable, and more than a little bit numbing.

Meanwhile, June and Kase arrive at Oceanside.

Its a mansion, with a number of folks ballroom dancing inside.

But, at least to one viewer, there wasnt much to root for.

As a viewer, I just couldnt care.

And the temptation for somethingnew?

And Junes feelings of being constrained?
