Fleabag 2.04

Episode 4

Fleabag helps the priest pick a new outfit for the wedding. They walk walk down the street after clothes shopping. She keeps tossing asides about his neck and how gorgeous it is. He hears one of the asides. She denies she said anything about his neck.

He takes her to a Quakes meeting. She takes him back to the cafe after the meeting. They get into a bit of a disagreement. She mentioned that she started the cafe with a friend but when he asks what happened to her friend she won't tell him. She turns and makes an aside to the camera. He can't hear her but he can tell she's doing something but can't quite figure out what. She gets annoyed and asks him to leave.

Fleabag has an extended flashback to her mother's funeral. Boo is there. Fleabag looks fantastic. Everyone comments on how good she is looking. Fleabag is sure that her godmother is hitting on her father but Clare disagrees.

Fleabag goes to the church at night. She isn't expecting to see the priest but he's there. They start talking over a drink. She doesn't want to tell him anything. He catches her looking to the side again. He talks her into getting into the confessional booth. He sits in the usual spot. He gets her to talk. She tells him about how she feels like she is failing at life. She wants someone to tell her what to do.

They start kissing after the priest tells her to get on her knees. They get up on their feet. She starts trying to undo his clothes. Something falls down near the altar. The mood is broken. The priest leaves.

Thoughts

This one was not as much fun as the previous three but it has heart. I felt like she wanted to tell the priest about Boo but she couldn't. She thought of Boo when the priest was asking her to confess her sins. There was also something in the flashback. It seemed to have to do with her sadness over her mother's passing. There was a hole in her life after that. Maybe that is part of her problem. I'm not sure.

It was a good episode but I barely laughed at it and it felt incomplete. There are two more episodes in the season.
