Best Medicine Season 2 Episode 4 Bonus: No Place Like Om – Hot Goss & Shenanigans

Carol missed our “No Place Like Om” taping thanks to a power outage. Now the lights are back on, and she’s watched both the episode AND our panel. So what did the rest of us miss?

In this Best Medicine Season 2, Episode 4 bonus, Carol and I dig into the moments that tugged at her heart, starting with Mark Mylow (Josh Segarra) walking the graduation stage while Sally Mylow (Clea Lewis) looks on. Carol connects it to a Season 1 callback you may have forgotten: Louisa Gavin (Abigail Spencer), a bottle of vitamin C, and a crack about “couples counseling.”

What we get into:

• The Happy Grove retreat: Martin Best (Josh Charles) says “no shenanigans,” and Mark is instantly drawn to Yuzu. Squirrel!
• Is Martin actually eager to get to Boston and Eden (Eliza Coupe)? Carol noticed something missing at the end of those phone calls
• Aunt Sarah (Annie Potts) and Eddie McCroy (Terrence Mann): George Brady (Jason Veasey) calls it “hot goss.” Is Eddie really breathing too loud? And did Martin learn his commitment issues from his aunt?
• Robert (Martin Clunes) and Vanessa (Judith Ivey) have a long marriage. Why has Martin never found “the one”? Is it related to Rosemary or something else?
• Martin and Louisa as a team with Fred (Barry Pearl), plus some gentle teasing on the dock. Is the new arrival, Parker (Jack Cutmore-Scott), about to stir things up?
• Glendon Roth (Patch Darragh): grown-up bully, richest guy in town, and maybe not the last word on Martin’s past
• Mark and Sally after graduation. Can Mark grow up and stay a little goofy?
• George, the lobster rolls, and “the genius of AND”

Your turn: Is Sarah protecting her independence or just making excuses? Should Mark keep his goofiness? Tell us in the comments and remember to subscribe and like on whatever platform you prefer.
