We break down Furious Episode 5 (“Pick a Sticker”), our favorite episode so far, and talk about why the show’s plotting and thematic payoffs feel so tight. We also share Patreon updates, including new free community chat categories (including Furious) and a heads-up that a paywall is coming for episodes while chats will remain free, then we recommend A24’s The Invite (rent now, later on HBO) and HBO’s The Drama (Zendaya and Robert Pattinson), plus note the older horror film The Invitation. On Furious, we discuss Catherine and Alden’s unsettling cold open and whether their relationship is transactional and sincere, Alice’s strategy around Marshall and Danny, clues involving Nora’s past and the bracelet/baby-box system, and parallels among Alice, Catherine, and Isabelle (including the theory that Isabelle’s “sister” is actually her daughter). We cover Hal’s revelations and death, Marshall’s apparent sidelining after Alice’s setup, and the cliffhanger where Alice and Catherine end up at the same shelter, speculating on what Alice does next with three episodes left.
