Ugh, so many feelings
This wasquitean episode, was it not?
Written and directed by Jay and Mark Duplass, it sure packed an awful lot in.
Lets begin with the news that, Im sorry to say, theDunepuppet show is still happening.

Im sure theres an actual name for aDunedevotee but I refuse to do that Google search.
I wont do it, I say!Dunedudes are a real specific flavor of man-of-a-certain-age, right?
As the landlord leaves, he says, This is why pretty girl left.
And the guys are like,Hey wait….where is Christy?
!Turns out she up and moved out.
Who can say certainly not Alex who has to open drawers to figure this fact out.
Christy, Ill miss you more than I can say.
She beams at the other women in line who smile at her.
But then theres a telltale sound that means something is rotten in Denmark.
And by Denmark I mean Frankies diaper.
Tina panics and these ladies are all,changing room upstairs, honey.
This poop situation is real bad.
Like rethink your child-rearing plans bad.
Maybe Larry?).
Michelle thanks Brett for watching the kids and starts nervously over-explaining her plans.
Hes says its cool.
He shuts this down real quick.
Michelle leaves and cries in her car and rather awesomely talks aloud to an imaginary Brett.
I get it all!
But perfect-seeming Anna shows up, and Michelle tries to cover but cant.
Im having a meltdown, she tells her new friend.
Anna is essentially says, Hell no, youre kicking ass!
Anna hands her a lipstick to put on and pot lollipops and is all,Lets do this.
Cant put my finger on why this Anna chick gives me anxiety, but she does.
Anna is like,listeeeeeen.
And then she gives him the what for and pushes Michelle to fire him.
The guy is like,Peace out, crazies, and stomps off.
Michelle quickly starts to freak out, but Anna says she knows someone who owes her.
(Whatisthat like, I wonder?)
Theres an odd hush on set and he wonders why.
Alex finds Dudley in Alexs trailer, manic, looking for drugs.
He starts to cry big gulping sobs, the kind where the sound is delayed.
(God I love Josh Leonard.
Time to watchHumpdayagain, everyone!)
Dudley gets into Alexs car and see his copy ofDuneon the front seat.
He reaches into his bag and pulls out the exact same copy.
Oh god, theyre multiplying!!!!
This means they go out on a dude date which involves a food truck.
(What will Brett say!)
Brett, meanwhile, is Uber driving some insane women around who get in a straight-up fist fight.
Brett ends up getting hit in the face, though.
Great day hes having.
Brett has what looks like a giant scratch/bruise on his forehead.
Tina is home with baby Frankie who is now fecal free and sleeping sweetly.
She hears Larry come home and, hilariously in a panic, considers hiding the baby with her handbag.
Theres no hiding the kid, though, especially cause he wakes up and starts to cry.
Tina starts nervously chattering about how she just stopped in for a second, but Larry just leaves.
He returns with Cheerios and charms Frankie.
His electric car (see?)
dies in her driveway.
Oh man, this bit killed over on the Vilkomerson sofa, let me tell you.
Is that what were calling it these days?
But, moving on.
Meanwhile Tina is all revved up for Larry and comes in hot and starts taking off her pants.
He reaches over for a condom and shes all,The hell?
Im on the pill.
And she loses it as she realizes he doesnt trust her not to get secretly knocked up.
Amanda Peet is absolutely incredible in this scene, as is Peter Gallagher, by the way.
And then he forces her to hear that he really, really doesnt.
Tina drives around dark L.A. and ends up outside Alexs apartment.
She calls him but then hangs up when he answers.
(Doesnt Alex have her number programmed in his new phone?)
Mark Duplass is in this girls apartment, and they drink a beer.
Hes torn but then our last looks is to see him head toward her bedroom.
Hurry up, next week.
