Good thing Nate let Arthur sit on in the interview with Mr. Su, because Arthur was able to take the reins when Nate nearly blew the whole thing.
Everything had to take a back seat to Lisa's disappearance in this episode, though there was plenty going on: David and Keith needing to talk, Ruth meeting George for the first time, and Claire not only dealing with her ex boyfriend Russell and a grossly unfit instructor, but also finding out she was unexpectedly and undesirably pregnant. It speaks so well of David and even better of Claire that they put their problems on the back burner to be there for Nate. Nate also picked up on the tension between David and Keith despite his own anxiety over Lisa, so kudos to him too. The whole Fisher family did genuinely care about Lisa.
Pollyannas who tell me, without evidence, that something's going to be totally fine, drive me crazy, so Ruth's state of extreme denial got on my nerves. But it was realistic. My mother behaved very similarly a few years ago when one of my foster sisters was having neurosurgery to remove and biopsy a brain tumour. Even though the doctors said the tumour was almost certainly benign, and Gayle was receiving excellent medical care and the operation was very likely to be a success, I was still concerned that something might go wrong, that Gayle might have a stroke on the table and/or sustain brain damage. But when I suggested as much to my mother, she was absolutely adamant that everything was going to be fine and very upset with me for even suggesting otherwise.
Vanessa's sister Angelica really is kind of an asshole, but then Rico can be too, so the two of them deserve what they get from each other.
God, that interment ceremony. Why didn't the Chenowiths' decide and plan in advance what they were going to do with Bernard's ashes? And Billy's declaration of love for Brenda... [shudder]. I always find it difficult to have sympathy for Brenda when she's living life on her own and doing things like calling Nate -- nominally to apologize, but really to drag things out with him, given that she apologized at the time -- because she is so dysfunctional and can be such an arrogant asshole, but all the Chenowith family scenes make her sympathetic, because her family is such a nightmare.
