The penultimate episode provides plenty of emotionally complex moments, which have become the best part of Shrinking.
lately, haven’t they? This show doesn’t shy away from dealing with heavy topics, especially surrounding grief, but with only one episode to go, everything feels a bit light and. Barring another dramatic fall or delayed comeuppance for Jimmy — something I honestly don’t expect to see — he should manage to pull through and deliver an inspirational wedding speech for Brian and Charlie.
There’s a little too much telling instead of showing here, with various characters explicitly discussing how well Jimmy is doing, but the details really sing. First, we see Jimmy flipping through a book of his memories with Tia: photographs and ticket stubs from over the years, cutting off abruptly on the page corresponding to the year she died. Jason Segel’s tearful delivery of “That’s all we get” is deeply moving, but he’s more wistful than devastated in this moment.
This final scene is a highlight of the season, especially how it goes down at the conclusion of a peaceful, comforting episode. We spend several beats with Jimmy and Alice sharing one of their classic listening parties, with Alice lying at the end of the bed and dancing along to the song she’s showing her dad. We can sense what Jimmy’s thinking: He knows that Alice forgot, and he doesn’t want to disrupt the moment, but she should probably know.
Another satisfying twist: Gaby and Jimmy hooking up again when it seemed like she might fall for Nico’s charms again. But it’s a relief that she doesn’t backslide; I’m not sure I’m fully onboard with Jimmy and Gaby as a genuine romantic item yet, but this dynamic works for them. More importantly, her Nico encounter pushes her to think about the dreams she missed out on when taking care of him sucked up so much of her time.
