Spoiler Alert!
Hello everyone!
Oh My God, I don't even know where to start! When I think this show can't surprise me anymore, it always does, and always in a good way. Truly, one of the best shows I've seen lately. It's incredible how they can touch on so many important subjects on a light but still meaningful way.
So, this episode starts right where the last one left of - with Zoey seeing that Emily isn't fine. However, Emily still doesn't acknowledge that she has a problem and so, the remaining of the episode is Zoey trying to get through her. And in the process, she discovers all kinds of issues that her friends have as well as some issues within her, which was such a big surprise.
Where do I start? I guess I'll start with Zoey and Simon. Even though this episode was mostly about Emily (but we already know that she's not fine, so it's mostly making her realize that) the other thing that was pretty prominent in the episode was Zoey and Simon's relationship that is being a little it rocky. I mean, they acknowledge in the episode that everyone's relationships are facing some type of issues, which is later on talked in such an interesting set of scenes, but Simon is having this issue that Zoey isn't spending as much time with him as he wanted. Part of me is happy that they're having some troubles because I'm a Max & Zoey shipper (still don't know their ship name) but on the other hand, I can see that Simon is a great guy and him and Zoey work really well together so... I don't know how I feel about them yet. Anyway so Zoey has been so focused on Emily that Simon is feeling left out, and Zoey realizes that on some of the best scenes in this episode!
It started out with Simon, Max and Mo having a musical number expressing their feelings which I loved and then, on a really interesting turn of events, what Zoey thought would be a Girls Night In with Emily, turned into a Girls Night Out, which was so much fun to see Zoey so out of place in a club and all of that. But the best part really was that the boys were at Mo's house and they were the ones to have a night in - where they even did some face masks as well as some feet thing. It was so interesting to see the duality of something that the girls where doing that it's typically seen as more of a guys thing and the boys doing what is seen as a girls thing. I just loved that!
Then, what might have been my favorite musical number in the episode, Zoey finally gets through to Emily after Emily sings Gasoline by Halsey on the club's bathroom. I love Halsey and it was so surprising to her one of her songs in a show like this, and even more not one of her most mainstream songs so... Yeah, super surprised but loved it! Also, Emily's version was so powerful! Really loved it!
And well, in the end not only Emily comes to terms that she has Post-partum Depression but she also tells David and realizes that she needs professional help. That was huge and is something that is so true - people have to come to terms themselves about their problems so I loved that the show tackled that. And then, in the very end, while listening to Mo singing about leaning on each other, Zoey realizes something about herself as well - she also needs help - and that's when we see her go to a therapist and saying that she has a power that might not be good for her. That was such a huge twist that I did not see coming! I always saw this power as somewhat a good thing but, if you really think about it, it must be such a burden - mostly if you are an empath and you need to help people, which is Zoey's case so... Interested to see where this goes, as well as to see if she tells Simon about her powers because he already got a feeling of them in, again, a really funny scene where he asked Mo and Max about Zoey 'knowing what everyone is thinking'.
More on the side there was also a plot with Maggie finding herself and going to casinos with Deb. Fun, but might be a problem in the future, and there was also Max and Rose, which I do not ship, that are moving forward with their relationship (let's see where this leads, having in mind that next episode is called 'Zoey's Extraordinary Double Date', that should be interesting) and Mo and the Fire Marshall that are take a step forward with their relationship as well.
Overall, great episode, truly loved it! And now I'm super curious where everything is going - Zoey and her powers, the couples, Maggie's possible addiction... We'll see. Unfortunately, Zoey's Playlist is also taking a break so no new rant next week but the show will be back in May! In the meantime, let me know what you thought of this episode and tell me, are you team Max or team Simon? I don't think I asked it that so, let me know, and I'll talk to you in my next rant!
Love,
Daniela.
