♫IT'S FUCK MOLLY SEASON!!!♫

How was her face cracked that Issa agreed with her instead of fighting for a relationship Molly doesn't want to fight for? MAKE👏🏾 IT👏🏾 MAKE👏🏾 SENSE!👏🏾

And you can tell that Andrew is nearing his limit. I think he pulled back and was watching how Molly navigated this with Issa as a trial run of how she might navigate things with him and YIKES! If she won't fight for her why would Molly fight for him? She's already not even considering trying to entertain letting his brother properly apologize (which I get TBQH, no one likes a 'this is an interesting debate' type of man') but now little things like getting different food than what he wanted and not telling him beforehand are sure to tick a box.

Which isn't to say Molly is wrong at being mad at Issa blowing her off for months but she's been openly aggressive towards her since the block party and can't even admit that confronting her in that way at that event was wrong. Like SIS?!!?!?!

I see it all falling down on Molly next week and honestly maybe that's what it'll take for her to finally take some personal accountability.

That pissed me off so much. She definitely wanted Issa to beg for her. If I was Issa in that situation I also would been like "Fine, if you don't even want to discuss it when I'm right here asking you to then that's that on that."

[pikapika217]

I probably would've wanted to say/add 'if that's how you feel then I respect it/that' but honestly what else is Issa supposed to do? There isn't even a promise that Molly will actually want to be friends after the begging either. Molly just feels bad about her part in it and rather than examine that she wants to ignore it and hope people let her get away with bad behavior again. Not THIS TIME, HUH MOLLS?!

[colossusx]

to molly's credit she HAS tried to discuss it but issa is nothing if not confrontation avoidant. i don't know why molly didn't bring up their issues over brunch, she definitely wanted issa to beg like you said.

I understand Molly's feelings for sure, but seeing as Andrew is seemingly pretty tight with his brother there would need to be some sort of discussion had for the future. Does she let him apologise and be cool with him, does she try to avoid him as much as possible and be cordial, etc but if he's still going to be in his brother's life and they're going to have a LTR, I mean, at some point you may have to cross paths with his brother and you'd need to both be on the same page regarding how those interactions may go but she kind of ended the convo by saying "you asked me to do something uncomfortable, so" there isn't much to say in response to that lol

[comava]

idk, my jaw dropped at the "you asked me to do something uncomfortable, so" line, it's super immature reasoning and borderline gaslighting. Molly knows perfectly well she can't put off dealing with his brother forever but she's also just ignoring that as hard as she can and making Andrew the bad guy for implying she'd need to face the music and do something she doesn't want to.

like you say there are still tons of different ways she could handle meeting his brother again. She could say her piece, tell him that shit doesn't fly and then be open to getting along, but she probably doesn't even see being straight with him as an option. We've JUST seen her inability to do that with Issa, so for Molly, the idea of meeting him again probably equals swallowing her pride and slapping a smiley face on her resentment.

LT:DR maybe i'm giving Molly too much credit but i appreciate how human she is in baby steps towards accountability and immediately relapsing. She is trying, not well enough yet but it's a start! hope she's come far enough to be able to make amends next week when the shit hits the fan with Andrew

[msbombtastic]

No I def agree, it was immature lol. She knew saying it made her uncomfortable would essentially close the door on further conversation on the topic. It's a bit manipulative, like "well, you can't argue with that; it would make me uncomfortable" kind of thing.
She in no way needs to be buddy buddy with his brother or even accept the apology, but it's your partner's family member who clearly means something to him. It's worth hearing him out and deciding if you wanna be cool or you're gonna stick with the "hi" and "bye" whenever you may see them at gatherings etc. It seems like he was pretty patient too, didn't rush her to just go and talk to him immediately.
Idk 🤷♀️ I don't want to be insensitive to how she felt re: racial bias (even for a fictional character lol) but like Andrew straight up said, are you just NEVER going to see him EVER? Even if you guys are together for the rest of your lives? Lol
She could have also said something like "I don't think I'm ready to face him yet and discuss it because it's still raw for me" or something. Communication is key which seems to stump Molly in general, with Issa too.

[comava]

lol they're both bad at communication but so is almost everyone! i always thought i was great at it because I'm talkative and actually enjoy talking about feelings and shit but turns out i was just saying whatever thoughts happened to cross my mind haha oops. It basically boils down to a) how well you know yourself, your needs and motivations and b) whether you've really done absolutely everything in your power to make yourself understood but it's SO fucking hard

[comava]

Andrew's dynamic with Mollly was really well done, and perfectly in line with how we'd seen him handle conflict before with his brother. He's not a doormat and will call people out on their BS but he'd rather give way rather than push back if they're gonna be stubborn about it. It's just a question of where his boiling point is, and we just saw Molly forging a few steps ahead.

And there's a nice bit of hypocrisy in Andrew pointing out to Molly that it was her place to bring up whatever was bothering her with Issa. Pot kettle!

[emyouknit]

ugh i love andrew...can't wait for her to fuck this up (Even though it means less of his fine ass in the show).
