Ep 17 was another one of those evenings of television that had me yelling back at the screen for the majority of the time. I should have expected the premise of this episode after watching the end of ep 16 and watching this stupid show delve into It's a Wonderful Life territory was a no brainer but it sure didn't play out the way I expected. I was thrilled when Randall's first version of Life with Jack was interrupted and he decided to take a more realistic look at what might have happened. I was glad the therapist brought up the fact about Randall learning the truth about Rebecca and William was the first thing that happened in both stories. I was a little confused by Jack making a toast at Randall and Beth's wedding in the first story and in the second Jack is toasting Kevin and Sophie and Randall is with some random girl and he supposedly never meets Beth. I did love when teen Beth pulled teen Randall into the kitchen and chastised him for being rude to his mother. Sadly, the emotional turmoil that this episode put us and Randall thriough was all for naught, because after everything he had supposedly learned, he got on the phone and bullied his mother into going to St. Louis. I don't think I have ever hated Randall more than I did in that scene and I hate that it worked, because now Randall will think he's king of the world. Loved Pamela Adlon as the therapist and I still love this stupid show.
