Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Newly promoted George is faced with her first big corporate decision at Happy Time; and Joy sells the family home and looks forward to her new life.

Our Take

A quieter episode that leans into George’s awkward climb up the corporate ladder, and the office stuff is genuinely funny in a dry, uncomfortable way. The Joy subplot gives the hour some real weight, even if it feels like it belongs to a different show sometimes. Not the strongest of the season, but the character work carries it. Worth your time if you’re already invested.
