Over the years, Ive developed a soft spot for Lindsay Hubbard.
Can she be terrible?
Is she an unfillable maw of need?
Is she a monster?
(Surely having an infant will disqualify her, right?)
But I have never seen Lindsay perform poorly.
The episode starts great with the unlikely duo of Paige and Lindsay driving out to the beach together.
Im not apologizing to you.
And I got that from Lindsay.
I was raised by Lindsay Hubbard.
You and me both, sister.
We see this exact behavior at Jesses Shabbat dinner, which is a really sweet gesture.
Its so much better than Adam Brody singing onNobody Wants This.
Can we start a Change.org petition for Jesse to do the singing voice in season two?
Pour one out for Larl 2.0.
This makes him declare that her personality is too zany and she might not be right for him.
She thought Lils texts were enough to convince him that there would be life after Lindsay.
Pull the eject lever now.
You are getting owned by Carl.
Its a bad look for Lindz.
Theyll look at it, but they dont want it in their hands.
Finally, Lindsay takes the phone and sees that she DM-ed him in October after they broke up.
Carls immediate response is, What are you mad about?
What are you mad about?
Why make this into a thing?
Lindsay does wind it down after that as much as she can.
After dinner, Paige, Ciara, and Amanda gather in where else?
Ciaras bed, and Paige says, Ive never seen Lindsay be so shut down.
Neither have we, but this is not Lindsays fault.
Im sorry, but all of this is because of Gaby and her failure to ask good follow-up questions.
Gabby asks when Carl met her parents at the soccer game, and Lil says it was last summer.
It is just contrary to her very nature.
This is why it is all Gabys fault for feeding this particular beast a lot of disinformation.
Guys, they have only been dating for a month.
No, this is wild.
Thats fine, but she needs to be respectful if that isnt how Jesse rolls.
(Did anyone peep the Danielle cameo?
She didnt even get a name-check!)
He jokes that he doesnt even know how to track that and, honestly, same.
Okay, that seems very concerning, but thank the Catholic Jesus that Paige is in this conversation.
She points out that Lexi is 26 and this is very 26-year-old-girl energy.
But I think Paiges other point is even more valid.
After settling at a picnic table, they talk about Craig.
These are the real revelations in this conversation.
Thats because, it turns out, Paige makes more money than the pillow magnate.
But lets not end on a bummer.
Good on the collective Y chromosomes in theSummer Housecrew for giving us a new template for masculinity.
That is all Carl needs: a few clutches from the boys and a little bit of time.
