This sixth episode is the best episode in the whole series, full stop.
Partly because its narrative center is closer to the ground.
Partly because the of the chemistry between Mitchell and Chau.
Andres a broker, and hes just made his way to an open house.
Its the very first one that Sarahs ever hosted alone.
They are funny and sharp and careful with one another.
But, eventually, we get to the crux of the scene: Sarah is engaged.
He tells her that the Together Forever Thing isnt really a Thing for him.
She challenges that idea.
Theyve both just turned 30.
And the pair begin to dip into the marriage as a concept seems a little antiquated conversation.
They dont come to a reconciliation, but the two definitely enjoy each others company.
But Sarah doesnt press him.
She accepts what hes saying, and then Andre leaves.
Even still, a few years pass.
The next time we join them, Sarahs visiting Andre during an open house of his own.
In the interim, hes since married a (white) lady named Nikki (who loves horses).
Sarah shares that she married Craig in Denver.
There is still, clearly, tension between the two of them.
When youre white, you have to go the extra mile to be bullied.
In the same way that their conversation flows, the pair moves from the stairs to the putting green.
They talk about supervolcanoes and climate change.
Andre says that hes an optimist, and that he trusts humanity.
When she doesnt make it, Sarah eventually admits that she doesntactuallyhave a client interested in this particular house.
She just knew that Andre would be around today.
She tells him that hes thought of their last evening often.
And Andre admits the same.
This time around, Andre and Sarah kiss with feeling.
If you go back far enough, says Sarah, wed probably never meet.
They discuss how their lives might have looked generations ago.
They start to make murmurs about the future.
When Andre tells Sarah that he feels bad about spoiling the moment, she tells him that he shouldnt.
What would they do, blow up their lives and move to a new country?
No, he says, We cant do that.
And thats where it ends.
Sarah says, This was nice.
And then shes gone, leaving Andre to himself.
It looks like Sarah and Andre have found each other a third connection.
Theyre still married to their respective partners.
And their love for one another has turned into an affair.
And then, Maybe we should stop.
To which Andre replies that he cant go back to the way things were.
The pair make vague noises about splitting from their spouses, right that moment.
But then one mentions a childs birthday party, and another mentions visiting parents.
After a debate about the timing, they both agree that, We have to do it now.
But it becomes clear, just that quickly, that neither of them will do anything.
And then there is another beat, where it looks like an older black dude is touring homes.
Its a grizzled Andre, and he shows up to find that Sarah passed away a few months ago.
When he takes a moment to process the news, he notes that they missed their moment.
And June is standing right beside him, watching the whole thing.
The same questions surrounding monogamy, lasting relationships, and life after death are broached.
Similar jokes are made although, this time, they slap.
