Casual 2.11

Death and Taxes

- Alex continues in a downward spiral; he doesn't seem to want to listen to anyone or seriously examine his life; he maybe incapable of doing either of those things; it's hard to say whether he makes any progress in this episode; he certainly flails about a lot and tries approaching a number of different people
- Laura hangs with Spencer; they visit a mortician and then a factory where caskets are made; everything seems okay until Spencer suggests that she can be his social media guru after he passes; that seems to have an affect on her; maybe it finally sinks in that he won't be around forever and she realizes that she is going to miss him; hard to say for sure but it was a good character moment
- Val spends a day with Drew, first getting their taxes done and then stalking one of her former patients; they share a moment in a restaurant and then again outside the restaurant; they discuss how relationships get stale; good stuff

- not sure how to rate this one; it wasn't great but it wasn't awful either; I think maybe if Alex wasn't making such a mess of things I would probably feel better; I wish someone or something would point him in the right direction; by contrast Laura and Val's lives don't seem perfect put they seem to be a little more solidly in control that their brother/uncle
