Yes, the scenes that showed how Rico got started in the funeral business were great.
Even so, my favorite scene in this episode was when Claire burst into Gary's office to tell him how excited she was about art school but he was in the middle of moving on, had already moved on emotionally. Having been on both sides of similar conversations, this one really rang true to me. Timing.

The fact that welding is not just feasible but obligatory - and the matching hearse parked adjacent - clearly acting as convincers for Clare.
The juxtaposition of Ruth's introduction to Maya and Brenda and Nate's massive row, was nicely done.

In this episode we learn how Rico found his calling and came to work for Fisher & Sons. Nathaniel really was good to him and was smart to nurture his talent -- it was no wonder Rico basically saw him as a second father. And David's backing him up over the casket choice reminded him of Nathaniel. I can sympathize with the son for not wanting the Our Lady of Guadeloupe casket, though. That thing was tacky.
Keith "de-gaying" his apartment before the social worker got there was hilarious. Though I think he was mostly overreacting, that picture of some guy's naked ass definitely had to go.
The LAPD should have had Keith monitored/treated for PTSD after he shot that guy, because a cop with undiagnosed/untreated PTSD is a disaster waiting to happen. And it happened, and now Keith's career as a cop is over.
Claire has found the right educational path for her, and it's nice to see her working on her application so seriously and earnestly.
I'm with Brenda in finding her parents' commitment ceremony an eye-roller. It was so pretentious and cheesy.
Now we get to see/hear what Brenda's novella is like, and it's... not good. Such flat, mechanical, trite-ass prose. It sounded like something written by someone 10-15 years younger than Brenda. And then Nate figured out it was a transcription of reality, and their relationship implodes as only something that's rotted from the inside out can. I only wish that were the end of the two of them, but being the dysfunctional people they are, it isn't.
Bye, Nikolai! Hello, Maya!
