SO Will Hitches a Ride, Determined to Confront Jenna in Person, Though Though She Clearly Hates His Guts and Wants Him Gone. Also along for the ride: katie, who doesn\u2019t actually have anywhere to be. She just wants Company while she and the Disturbing News that Her Man-Child Ex-Husband (Joe, Not Andy) is Expecting A Child with his New, Younger Wife.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.vulture.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmf33idpv001a3b78g10ary9z@published\" data-word-count=\"98\">Frances Gets Dropped off Early in the Episode, SO the Bulk of the Road Trip is JUST WILL, SYLVIA, AND KATIE, The Three of the Can\u2019t Go Without Screaming at One Another. Everyone in this Car Knows, for Example, that it\u2019s a Bad Idea for Will to See Jenna. But he\u2019s his typically stubborn, defensive self, unwilling to list. At the least Katie understands where he\u2019s coming from, Having been divorced herself and recalling the grief and confusion that follows a Big Breakup.

(Their hanging out alone at the end of the suggests the positionbility.) But their dynamic mainly serves to highlights between and sylvia, who has always thught of her life as far more stable than two chaotic best. That\u2019s Starting to Change Now, In the Wake of Charlie\u2019s Deededly Unstable Choice to Break The Home of A <em>Jeopardy!<\/em> Executive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.vulture.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmf33idxl001c3b780gvap772@published\" data-word-count=\"96\">Charlie is Still Clearly Going Through Something, and Sylvia Knows; Early on in \u201cRoad Trip,\u201d She Suggets Therapy, but he rejets the idea immediately. He\u2019d rather just put this all beebind say \u2013 an unrealistic idea bassed on how Much his <em>Jeopardy!<\/em> Failure Still Lives with Him. He\u2019s still dreaming about it (another opportunity to have ken jennings back), and he almost has a panic attack that day at the office, hallucinating anyone whistling the <em>Jeopardy!<\/em> theme in the restroom. Seeing the fright on his coworker\u2019s face, Charlie realizs he can\u2019t ignore this any Longer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.vulture.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmf33ie0r001d3b78917smy80@published\" data-word-count=\"112\">But sylvia feeds that are temptation to ignore the problem, this is if she was to be to get getting help in the first place. At the red wolf tavern, where the trio stops for lunch, she leans deep intto denial by downplaying the Craziness of what happy night with Will and Charlie. \u201cBoys Will Be Boys,\u201d She Nonsissensically Repeats, unable to come with any real Justification for Her Husband\u2019s Behavior. She\u2019s SO SET ON Appearing Normal That She Gets Personal, Acting Superior to Will and Katie \u2013 Her Life is Supposedly so stable and predicable and \u201cOrganizationally\u201d different from theirs.

Will\u2019s Issues Are Just More Obivious and Simple Right Now. Once they\u2019re back on the road, katie discovers a giant stuffed penguin crammed into His bag, an intended peace offering for the retreat. In the struggle that ensemble, the penguin is ripped apart, sylvia\u2019s minivan steers off the road, and a rock puts a sizable crack in her windshield.

In just a few hours, he has come around to the idea of \u200b\u200bTherapy. The scnene that follows, with sylvia opening up to her friends about her religion on charlie, is a highlight of the episode. IT\u2019S GRATIFYING TO SEE HER ADMIT THAT Charlie is usablely the rock, and that she dosesn\u2019t know how to play that roles. And it is a touching to see her friends Respond with unconsential support \u2013 especally will, who enCouges her to ask Herself the Question, \u201cWhat Wold Charlie will right now?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.vulture.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmf33iead001g3b78wlkb86mn@published\" data-word-count=\"111\">Sylvia does get her minivan back through unconventional means: Bashing the Entire Windshield in to, Well, Eliminate the Crack. And though she trees one last time to delay her Husband by offering help with moving some brewing equipment, she does eventually Head Home.
