Small Bites
This episodes writer, Sofya Levitsky-Weitz, has an M.F.A.
from Northwestern, so she has spent time in the Chicago area.
chatter, it did feel like this episode was laying the Chicago on a little thick.
Whats up with Marcuss roommate, Chester?
Hes very fun, a designer of all things, and he doesnt want to smell like spicy giardiniera.
Interested to see if he comes back.
Richie talking about corresponding with his cohorts and associates I cant.
Circle back and ping me if you want to touch base later.
I like that Sydney seems to finally be getting through to Tina.
All it took was some straight talk, a few compliments, and evenhanded fairness.
Lets hope this sticks.
Do we think that Carmen and Sugars dad is still around?
Maybe hes in the clink, or maybe hes just off on a bender.
And, really, do we think Uncle Cicero will ever let the boys pay him off?
Hard to say, really.
