Somebody Somewhere Season 3 Episode 2 Recap: Dinky Dinkies?

Date:

Somebody Somewhere

Season 3 Episode 2 Recap:

 Dinky Dinkies?

What happened in Episode 1:— There were changes in Sam’s relationships at the start of the new season of Somebody, Somewhere, played by Bridget Everett. The first episode of Season 2, “Margarini,” set the tone for a season about friendship, discovering oneself, and being alone. Sam’s life looked different after Fred got married at the end of Season 2. Her close friends from the past are now busy with their own lives. Joel (Jeff Hiller) is moving in with his boyfriend Brad (Tim Bagley), which changes his relationship with Sam. And Fred is putting his marriage to Susan (Jennifer Mudge) first and has even stopped going to their weekly brunch. Sam feels left out and wants to connect with others, but she doesn’t know how she fits into the lives of her friends as they change. At the end of Episode 1, she feels weak and alone.

As we move into Episode 2 titled “Dinky Dinkies?“, the story gets more complicated as Sam deals with new problems and thinks about her place among her friends. The show, which used to be comforting, becomes a little darker as Sam deals with her fears, especially after meeting Susan. Samantha, who is hurt, helps her friends in important ways, showing the strength and loyalty that make her who she is. She tries to be there for other people, but she starts to wonder if she really belongs.

Somebody Somewhere Season 3 Episode 2 Recap

In the beginning of the episode, Sam joins Fred and Susan’s new “Catch Club,” a group of people who get to know each other through baseball practice. Susan isn’t very friendly when Sam brings doughnuts to share, and she tells Sam off for making a “unhealthy” choice. Susan tells Sam not to “bring Fred down” with her in a very condescending way. What they said really upsets Sam, and it makes her wonder if she’s a bother to those around her.

Sue’s harsh words stick with Sam, even though he tries to ignore them. They make her doubt herself. She clearly cares about her friends because she spends the rest of the episode helping Joel pack up his things to move in with Brad. Sam knows that Joel is giving up things he loves, like a piano that is important to him, so the task is bittersweet. Joel used to save things for a future child, but now he plans to throw them away because Brad, who already has adult children, doesn’t want any more. Even though she is worried — Sam respects Joel’s decisions and supports him without pushing her own ideas on him.

Surprisingly, Brad asks Sam to help him write a love song for Joel as a gift for his new home. They become closer because of the challenge, and their relationship grows in ways that didn’t seem possible at first. At the housewarming party, Brad nervously sings the song while Sam plays the piano. This is a touching way for Brad to show his love for Joel. The audience and Joel are both clearly moved as we see how important Sam is to making this moment real.

After that, a little tipsy Sam asks Joel if he thinks she’s a bother —but she cuts him off before he can answer. The next day, her insecurities get worse when Brad, who means well, offers to help her with money after hearing from Joel that she might be having a hard time. Sam is embarrassed and upset when she checks her bank account and finds that she has less than $300. At the end of the episode, Sam is struggling with feelings of not being good enough and self-doubt. Her normally strong and positive attitude is slowed down by the fear that she might be bringing her friends down.

Episode 2 of Somebody, Somewhere does a great job of showing how complicated friendship and self-worth can be. Sam’s journey is moving and painfully familiar as she wonders where she fits into the lives of her friends. The episode ends on a raw and emotional note, making people want to see how Sam will deal with these tough feelings and, hopefully, get back to accepting herself.
