So this recap isn’t going to be much in the way of a recap cause like the title, this episode of Looking was looking for a plot.

Honestly, I expect shows to take a break and have a down episode and even with some interesting things that happened in the episode, I was severely underwhelmed. This was an episode that showed off the dramatic chops of one Lauren Weedman, and though kill it she did, I wasn’t really drawn in like I’m sure they wanted to be. I think this has a lot to do with Patrick being our main entrance into the world and him not being a big player or having things circle around him. In my pilot writing class, we talked about how you always have to serve your main character and though I’ve been begging to see more of other characters, this definitely proves what the teachers were saying is right. Like if I think about this episode with it being a member of Patrick’s family with him getting the material it would have had more gravitas, especially with what happens at the end of the episode. Anyways, I don’t have a ton more to say so I’ll just list my 10 memorable moments of the episode.

  1. Patrick bawling at the funeral. When I tell you I cackled at this…yall I almost fell off the couch.
  2. Doris breaking down when Malik arrived. Such a great moment.
  3. The Emmy award winning acting they had to employ in order to make it seem like they actually enjoyed that KFC. KFC is fucking disgusting.
  4. Dom yelling out the window that he’s gay. So disrespectful to do at a cementary but so hilarious.
  5. Dom coming out to that one guy. Why did the dude say that he loved that Dom was gay? I screamed.
  6. The moment when Doris found out her dad died.
  7.  Um…this is difficult. Dom wearing that suit?
  8. Patrick and Doris’ bad childhood off.
  9. “Best Apple Fritters 10 years running.”
  10. Kevin apparently dumping Jonathan and him and Patrick kissing. Yall know I hate them two and I let it be known. I literally threw my phone across the room when this happened. It felt so shoehorned into the episode but I guess we’re stuck with them for at least a week longer.

One thought on “Looking Episode 2.07 “Looking for a Plot””

  1. We’ll definitely have to see the conclusion of the relationship between Patrick and Kevin to the last episode of this season.

    I think that Patrick’s going to end things with Kevin and might even quit his job.

    Patrick really has absolutely no idea on who he is, how he wants his life to go and who he wants to have in his life. He clearly messed things up with Richie and he’s able to admit that to himself.

    Now, he’s got to go through the stages of seeing, how things could possibly go with Kevin, before he starts being honest with himself about why he was attracted towards him.
