“You’re going to have a big fun wedding like rich people.”Īs the absurdities at the Biltmore mount, so do the Suarez’s snickers. “So what?,” one of one of Sophie’s sisters, played by Jillian Mercado, says when Sophie expresses her doubts. Meanwhile, the Suarez family has taken it in stride. Somehow, Dani-who works as the megaphone for someone bent on calling out inequity-still has yet to notice the obvious sociopolitical divide. Ostensibly to make up for his lack of enthusiasm, Rodolfo books a tour of the Biltmore-a swanky hotel that “offer a certain level of luxury and sophistication.” It also offers a certain level of shade at Sophie’s side of the family, who clearly don’t make the cut when it comes to class. Still mourning her mother, Dani is obsessed with making sure the wedding is everything that her father, Rodolfo, has ever dreamed of-never mind that he clearly didn’t even want Dani to get married to her “friend,” Sophie, in the first place. Infidelity hasn’t (yet) entered the picture, but a third party has most definitely caused a fissure between Dani and Sophie, who seem increasingly unlikely to ever wed.

This time, Finley is in tears-and apparently ready to accept her very own (Gay) Hot Priest as her savior. The episode ends with another heart-to-heart on one of the pews. Turns out Finley was raised “very, very Catholic”-and suddenly, the scene in which she almost vomited mid-sex with Rebecca starts to make sense. “I’m actually more closeted about being Christian than I am about being queer,” Rebecca eventually tells Finley, who’s still in shock, sprawled out on one of the pews. Finley predicts they’ll burst into flames upon entering, but it turns out the Lord’s wrath has more nuance than that: It only takes a few minutes for Finley to realize that the person she’d been “fudging all night” isn’t just a believer, but a priest.

But Sophie, who’s in full wedding-planning mode, has no time for sympathy she just wants to know if Finley will take her to the church, so that she can consider it as a wedding venue.

Christ.Ībsolutely aghast, Finley fills Sophie in as soon as she gets to work. “So tempting, but I can’t,” Rebecca responds she has a date, it turns out, with Jesus H. “I wish I could be in bed with you all day,” Rebecca says, prompting Finley to enthusiastically suggest that they call in sick. “I wanna be drunk but not like dizzy drunk for this girl, you know?,” she tells Micah at the end of episode 2.Įpisode 3 finds them in bed the morning after their reunion, where they’re adorably cuddling, giggling, and reminiscing on their early sexual partners (in Rebecca’s case, a doll named Sylvia). Not only does Finley seem genuinely surprised that Rebecca gets in touch after their one-night stand-not to mention goes home with her in the first place-but she takes her hook-up’s follow-up seriously. Case in point: The painful rejections upon rejections she’s met with before finally successfully propositioning a woman named Rebecca. Up until this point, the only real indication that Finley, played by Jacqueline Toboni, might be a bit more conservative than she lets on has been the fact that she constantly uses the word “fudge” instead of “fuck.” The more she gets as much screen time as fellow Gen Q’ers like Dani and Sophie, though, the more it turns out that-aesthetics aside-she’s far from the Kristen Stewart-slash-Shane wannabe she appears to be.
