A lot of this episode centers around Meredith. Sophie meets her for the first time, and there's a lot of tension between her and Sid.
During season one, I talked about having complicated feelings towards Meredith. She gets a lot of flak for rejecting Jesse's proposal that I don't think is warranted. That scenario is the exact reason why you shouldn't propose publicly unless it's something that you've already discussed. I hate the idea that she should have said yes just to spare Jesse's feelings or something.
Now, in season two, we're continuing to learn about more legitimate reasons not to like her, and I just wish that the proposal wasn't presented as the first sign that Meredith wasn't a great person when that one really wasn't her fault.
Sid is refusing to get along with Meredith, and he makes a big deal about her eating his burrito once. At the end of the episode, we find out that the real problem is actually that he heard she faked being sick to avoid going to Jesse's recital, which seemed rather obvious from the beginning.
I'm actually a little frustrated that Sid doesn't mention it. That absolutely feels like something you should tell your best friend. I get not wanting to hurt Jesse's feelings, but him not knowing the full story will only make things worse in the long run.
Ellen's love life seems to be going a little better than Jesse's. She and Charlie throw a party to try to get Rachel to talk to Ellen. It seems like it's been a disaster, but then it turns out that they've both just been nervous about talking to the other. I thought they were cute this episode, and I thought it was hilarous that Charlie and everyone at the party was listening in on them agreeing to a date.
While all of that is happening, Sophie is meant to take pictures of a home birth. When the midwife gets stuck on a tram, Sophie and Valentina end up having to deliver the baby. It seems to get Sophie and Valentina on a high, and Sophie is even more excited when, at the very end of the episode, she learns that her photo sold.
I'm curious to see what happens now that the photo has sold and what it means for Sophie's story.
