Great look at Sarah as she learns the things she'll need to teach John. I miss this show. Sigh.

"I'm not like Dougie," T.J. says.
"You don't have to be," Bud says, but he doesn't mean it. T.J. gets it. He can be the queer son, but not the screw-up. He doesn't get to be both. He can do appearances with Justice Nash and talk about gay rights, and date a young Republican to show how bipartisan his family is. He can be gay, but everywhere else he has to fly straight.
If he was a better person, than he could do that, and maybe than he wouldn't feel like he was still treading water and already starting to sink under. But he's not Dougie. He wishes he could be. Totally believable, heartbreaking backstory for Doug and TJ, from their life growing up in the White House to who they were when we met them on the show.

Absolutely brilliant retelling of the Persephone myth as a noir detective story, with Orpheus as the dogged private dick and the gods as Hollywood royalty. Utterly spellbinding and note perfect.
