Alex cannot get over the fact that Rae is happy with Jeff. He tries talking to Jeff. He invites him over for dinner with him and Leon. It doesn't seem to help. He tries to get Jeff to talk about his relationship with Rae. That doesn't help. Eventually Jeff gets the message and leaves. Leon leaves at the same time. Alex invites Annie, his current hookup, to come over. He wants what Rae has but with Annie but she isn't interested in that.
Valerie gets morose over the direction in which her life is headed. Seeing her dead neighbor's stuff dumped on the curb doesn't help. Talking to Rita, one of her other neighbors doesn't help either. She winds up going out with Rita and Leia.
The three women go to a puzzle bar, smoke cannabis, and talk while they work on a puzzle together. Leia leaves early. She is fairly sure she is pregnant but keeps that information to herself. Valerie and Rita stay to finish the puzzle but there is one piece missing. The missing piece disturbs Valerie. She berates the manager of the bar about it.
Laura's relationship with her girlfriend isn't going the way she wants it to. Tathiana seems to be focused on having fun. Laura wants to settle down. By the end of the episode Tathiana makes it clear that she thinks that Laura is taking their relationship too seriously. Laura, sees the writing on the wall and goes to see Valerie, to see if she can move in with her.
Valerie has an epiphany of sorts on the way home from the the puzzle bar. The self-driving car she hires takes her to the wrong place. It drops her off at an empty storefront. The episode ends with Valerie announcing to Laura that she is going to open a wine bar.
Thoughts
I don't understand why some of the recurring cast members are not listed as being part of the cast of this episode, on IMDB. I am specifically referring to Rae, Leia, and Tathiana. They are listed in the credits at the end of the episode and they are all in it but they aren't listed in the credits on IMDB. Huh?
This is an interesting episode. I like it. I like the way it unravels. The title is very apropos. It isn't just Valerie that is missing a piece of the puzzle. It is a little painful to watch at times. I feel sorry for Alex but he does seem to be finally waking up or at least evolving. That is good to see.
