Vestiges. Ghosts. Loss. I really like how fluidly this series deals with concepts and sorrow in a way that feels organic, sad, and also by pushing through it. Characters feel believable because of how static they can feel: Midge won't give up comedy for Joel because she's never been the type to give up things for anyone. Abe has never been the sweet guy so why start now? And Rose never says what she thinks, so here she uses escapism to do the talking for her. And I really like how this episode seems to pose Midge's stand-up as a new obstacle for her: perhaps, even though she's really good at what she does, she should find another outlet for her therapy and comedy can still work.
