And you're telling like, you know, I'm not sure what happened, you know, I just kind of lost my way and now I got back and everything.

So I only have this little...

poison ivy that's going on or what have you and you see randall what i love about it is like he just clocks everything you know what i mean like he's he's that dude detective he's a little bit you know encyclopedia brown is doing his thing all the time but bearing witness to it and then at the end of the conversation mom goes like are beth and the girls here he's like no no but you know you'll see him next time right

Doesn't make a big thing of it, but just like, you asked me the same thing twice in the span of maybe 90 seconds, right?

Also, when she mentioned taking medication for her poison ivy, it's like I could see something in Randall like, I remember.

Let me think back to the conversation I had with the doctor.

There were a couple of medications that the doctor, it's like you know that Randall would be that person who would remember exactly the list of medications that the doctor said would interact with the medication she put Rebecca on.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Anyway, I was like, okay.

Like there's the whole mentioning of like you telling me that, you know, she's been thinking about William a lot lately and wonders if this would have happened in St.

Louis.

So those two different things, right?

So you ask like, you know, do you think this would have happened if I had gone to the clinical trial?

And he simply says, I'm not sure.

And then you talk about like, I've been thinking a lot about William and he says, we don't have to talk about that right now.

And you're like, well, if not now, then when?

Right?

So there is a part of you

that recognizes the importance of engaging with your son about his past.

Because at the end of season four, with our therapist played brilliantly by Pamela Adlon, he winds up telling her like, look, you have a point about a lot of this stuff, but the idea of relitigating it right now, as she's dealing with what she has to deal with, it's not something I'm really interested in.
