One Day at a Timesure knows how to set the stage for its home stretch.
First off,adiosMateo.Ya basic, and not in a good, Chidi sort of way.
And hes getting married again to a woman who could be Penelopes long-lost twin.
Or, more simply, as Alex observes, Dang!
Papis got a bang out!
Meet Nicole (ODAATco-showrunnerGloria Calderon Kellettkilling it with Justina Machado hair).
As much as Penelope resists bonding with Nicole, its of no use.
Who wouldve thought that the one person capable of appreciating Penelopes marital trauma would be Victors next wife?
She even allows Penelope a little bit ofschadenfreudeby letting her know that Victor was miserable for a long time.
When Victor rejects Schneiders bachelor gift of a V.A.G.
She also calls Victor out for being so accepting of Nicoles sister Mia, who is gay.
(Did you go to herquinces?)
Which brings me to the episodes last important story arc: Schneiders sobriety.
But thats because there is no ambiguity with him now, and there is with Schneider.
This Is The Rest!
It doesnt matter how over an ex we are.
Wanting that person to be miserable isnt selfish, its human.
Sorry, Jill, but I didnt think the Penny and a Nicole joke was funny either.
Penelope to Mateo: When I think about something bad happening to you, I dont get upset.
In fact, I dont really care.
Ouch, but fair.
