Michael chooses truth, and Alexis tries to ask some off-limits questions: “If you were single, what would be the first thing you would do?”. Underneath the suits, behind closed doors, we’re all ruled by the same desires. Other characters’ treatment of Michael on this show almost comes off like alt-right propaganda — the “nice guy” can’t help but get cuckolded over and over again. Also, props for sticking up for a child’s right to be who they want to be. Later, in Larin’s (cuter, if smaller) office, Jean admits that she and Michael are having issues. She lives in a nice home with her successful lawyer husband Michael (Billy Crudup) and their 8-year-old daughter, Dolly (Maren Heary), who’s pushing the bounds of gender conformity. Let’s try this again.

The episode then inexplicably shifts to Jean’s fractured relationship with her mother via flashback and clunky dialogue. He’s furious that Sidney “stole” his dog, and he ends his rant by yelling, “I could f— ing kill her.” Jean reminds him that she has to report if he’s a danger to himself or others, but he assures her that he “wouldn’t even know how to, anyway.” (How comforting.) His complicated feelings are nothing compared to Jean’s relationship with her mom, however. According to Sam, Sidney’s dad is not in prison; he’s dead! She enters her bedroom to find Michael trying to sleep and gets on his case for not waiting to say goodnight (because she can party at clubs in Bushwick but he can’t get some shut-eye). Jean lies and says she was “intrigued.” Jean wins the next round and asks Sidney to dance, and she obliges. They have left the bar and are now in Sidney’s very hip Brooklyn apartment — it has a hammock in the living room, okay? Later that night, Jean is ready for a verbal brawl of her own. Jean is high as f— on the floor, hallucinating, and just realizing things. If problem still occur, please report us. “I know we’re not friends,” she says, voice shaking, “but I really value our relationship, Jean, and I’m hurt.” Jean accepts and doles out more advice, saying that it’s important not to place too much pressure on Rebecca. Jean and Michael are at some swanky silent auction, and Jean seems unaffected by her recent affair. In the premiere, you get the sense that she’s generally unfulfilled by her life at the moment, which doesn’t mix well with the fact that she also has boundary issues when it comes to her patients. Sure seems like Jean’s trying to get Sam and Sidney back together to get them both off her back. Upload - Episode 10 "Freeyond" - Discussion Thread. In the moment, Watts is compellingly inscrutable, even if the scene’s execution is rather dull. The pleasure Jean gets out of the exercise is clear — after all, she’s been hoping to step into Sidney’s shoes since they met. Sidney invites her to a party in Brooklyn, but she has to say no (because she has to get home to her daughter). This does not seem to convince a skeptical Michael. Jean asks Sidney why she seems so upset about him. Best Line: “Do you think G.I. Jean takes Allison to a Narcotics Anonymous meeting, where she convinces her reluctant patient to tell her story, noting, “Sometimes [strangers] are the only people we can be honest with.” Jean suggests Allison do a “90/90”: attend 90 meetings in a 90-day period.

No!” In all seriousness, Jean’s tomboy daughter Dolly is my favorite part of the show so far. Dolly asks her parents what “sexy” means: another unsubtle moment, given her mother’s current obsession with Sidney. He’s invited Alexis to tag along to a coworker’s birthday party, and the two can’t stop flirting at the bar. I think this scene is the most revealing in the series. Even though Jean has only just started down this destructive path, her two identities start to bleed together as Jean shocks everyone at the dinner table by asking for bourbon instead of sticking to wine. After all, how could Jean know anything about Rebecca? Jean just yanks the phone away, calls Sidney selfish, storm out, and heads home to Connecticut.

Now that she’s talked up Allison’s sobriety, it’s time to do something about it.
