A Million Little Things Season 5 Episode 8dear diary
Secrets are revealed when Katherine meets Greta’s parents. Maggie returns to unexpected changes at her workplace. Rome and Omar reluctantly come together to make an important decision.
And we’re back to form with an hour more cemented and cohesive than A Million Little Things Season 5 episode 7.
We got some movement in A Million Little Things Season 5 Episode 8, which mostly touched on many of the characters’ story arcs for the season, which is a plus as we hurdle toward the series finale.
Although Maggie, Professor Kraft, and Rome were in some type of competition over who could be the most annoying.
They’ve relied heavily on Inez to be the supportive older figure in Maggie and Gary’s life as they continue to navigate parenthood and their jobs.
Inez has been worked into their home, but it has some difficulties.
It’s mainly due to Maggie, who struggles with Inez’s presence and what it says about her as a mother, that she’s leaving Javi to return to work.
In some ways, I’d like to revisit Maggie’s parents or even work in a phone call to understand better what that support network is like for her.
Because Maggie is so resentful and rude to Inez, considering that she’s still getting to know the woman. Yes, Inez’s criticisms were too much, and Maggie should have nipped that in the bud.
The last thing a new mom needs is a more experienced one nitpicking and questioning her every choice and making her feel insecure, especially when said mom is feeling vulnerable about working and leaving her child behind.
And it was wrong of Inez to go against Maggie’s wishes and use the pacifier without permission. That one is such a common thing. Personally, I recall my mother’s struggle to refrain from using a pacifier for my niece and nephew.
Like Maggie, their mother also caved before the potential violation of trust could come to fruition, but who knows if it could have and how much of an issue that would have been?
But overall, Inez is genuinely happy to be in Gary and Javier’s life, and she loves looking after him. And with the price of nannies and daycares, it’s a gift that she’s around and can do that for them.
Maggie has to stop lashing out at people and learn to communicate better than she’s been doing. It’s incredibly shocking how terrible she’s gotten with this considering she’s a licensed therapist!
