GLOW 3.07

Hollywood Homecoming

Sam and Justine go back to Los Angeles to pitch her script to a number of studios. Sam takes charge at first. Most of the meetings don't go well and he's very negative after them. They finally get a meeting with a producer who is receptive. It goes well but Sam starts to have a panic attack in the middle of the meeting. He manages to keep it to himself. Justine wants to celebrate afterwards but he doesn't want to let her know what's happening. She drives off. He goes to a hospital where he finds out that he's had a heart attack.

Debbie has brought her son to the Fan-Tan. She's happy to have him there but it isn't easy. She runs into Tex (Toby Huss) at the casino. He's the guy she ran into on the flight to L.A. in 3.02. He asks her out on a date. They have a very nice evening together at what looks like a Japanese steakhouse. She wants him to come back to her room but he suggests instead another date the next night. She accepts his counteroffer.

Bertie, Bash's mother, comes to visit. He never told her that he got married. She found out about it secondhand. She spends some time with Rhonda. Bash told Rhonda that she should be scared of Bertie, and to a degree she is, but she is also very straightforward with her. She tells her the truth about why she married Bash, about needing a green card. Bertie accepts it all and also calls the family lawyer who let's Bash know that because he's married he now gains control of his $40 million trust fund.

A few but not all of the other characters from the show make appearances but only a few of them have lines.

Thoughts

I really liked this episode. I'm not sure I said that about any of the previous episodes in this season. It felt like an episode from one of the prior seasons, in that regard. The Sam and Justine arc really got to me, emotionally. I thought it was very well played. I was really worried about how it was going to turn out. I’m wondering if Tex is on the up and up. It seems a little too good to be true and then there’s the fact that he had a beard the first time Debbie met him and now he doesn’t. Hmmm.
