It seems season two is back on track! The first episode was great but then there were some B rated mission of the week shows, before the season bottomed out with a couple pretty poor filler episodes. The last one about Auggie finally rates a A and now this. I still say Annie got over Ben a little too easily and fast but at least we got closure here. Piper is extremely good being casually and comfortably physical with the various men in this episode. Just little touches here and there say so much in such different ways, and without it ever feeling gratuitous or filtered through a male gaze.
Seeing Joan on the field was great. It shows she wasn't always stuck in an office and has skills of her own. She had good chemistry with the actress playing Meg and it was easily believable that they were old friends with a history. Arthur having a written speech when she got home was very cute.
I'm also very glad we're back to the mole story and Liza Hern. It felt very odd that they dropped it up until now. I groaned a bit when the story flipped once again to Danielle and the kids, but that scene was thankfully very quick and didn't kill the momentum of the show as in certain previous shows. The doctor boyfriend is very generic but we know he won't be around for long anyway.
I hope the filler stories are done for the season and the JV production team has been benched for good. Things are looking up.
