Oh also in E6, having Isabella explode on Chip after maybe having two lines the whole season was pretty dumb.
We’re just one ep away from being caught up, and I’ll say this season is a mixed bag. Some of the character arcs have been terrific; others haven’t had time to breathe, so the dramatic moments feel totally unearned (see above); and some of my favorite characters are getting sidelined to make room for stuff I don’t care about. Chip is basically an extra at this point.
Alex's back injury Bradley is gay/bisexual Isabella hates chip -- she never even worked with him before! Claire has just completely disappeared We learn in a flashback that Cory loves Bradley Mitch is gonna drive off a cliff despite falling for his Italian beauty
Meanwhile we know absolutely nothing about some of the production team members we've been seeing every episode since day 1

Regarding Mitch driving off the cliff. I don’t think he actively did that. He seemed to be ran off the road (by Alex?) and with all his feelings about the book revelations and everything, he decided to just not fight the flow. As if it was meant to happen, so why fight it?
And of course Cory loves Bradley. That’s been evident from almost the start.

I agree about your reading of Mitch; but I think they could have spent more time this season demonstrating his despair. He's basically spent the entire time in Italy coming to some meaningful realizations about himself, and falling for the Italian gal. At no point did he seem depressed, and then all of a sudden we get this voiceover montage of all the negative stuff in his head moments before he decides to take his hands off the wheel.
And I don't think it was Alex's car, based on the geography of her approaching the airport, I don't see how that could be the case.
As for Corey and Bradley, part of what made Corey so great was that he seemed like he genuinely cared for Bradley's career, and in getting her viewpoint on national TV. The romantic interest wrinkle kind changes his motivations to some degree, and I think it was just clumsily handled.

I agree

Generally a strong finish! Alex's off-the-rails commentary on the streaming platform was a bit over the top, and Bradley's season-long story with her brother never did anything for me; felt like filler material. Everything else was great. The phone call between Mia and Daniel was oddly my favorite moment of the show, and it took all season, but by the end I found Stella to be one of my favorite characters. I hope S3 continues to flesh out the supporting cast at the expense of Alex and Bradley.

We started it not knowing it was a longer episode. We’ve about 30 minutes left. Because Mrs Wease is out of town until Sat, it’ll be at least then before we get to finish it.
