The struggle was real last night but I made it through. After thinking I added HBO to my TV just so I can watch 'Insecure" I get an error message. After chatting with Comcast for 30 minutes and thanking the representative several times because I now can watch this anticipated series. "This will cost you an additional $15.00 a month, is that ok?" says the rep. "Umm, sure", knowing damn well I am cancelling this subscription as soon as the season is over (and Starz).
I have taken great joy at watching the talented Issa Rae glow-up. From youtube, to book deal, to the big screen - She wins for us all. Now back to show...
Issa
The scene opens up with Issa daydreaming about Lawrence while she is trying out the dating world. For a quick moment I was as caught up in the dream as she was....suddenly the real faces of the guys she was dating appears and realization that this is her new life without Lawrence. (inserts Issa rap about being a cheater lol) Issa now feels the need to throw a party to paint the picture she is enjoying the single life. She goes to the mailbox and noticed Lawrence received some mail from the court. She quickly will use this as an excuse to see Lawrence and throw in his face she is happy but to her disappointment he never showed up.
Molly
Now off to Ms. Molly... Molly took the advice of Issa and sought help from a therapist. Of which she is afraid to open up and express to Issa her ongoing issue with finding the "right therapist". Meanwhile at work Molly feels like she is being slighted because she is both black and a woman in a law firm. She is accidentally given a check that belongs to another employee and feels slighted that she isn't being compensated appropriately for the work she does. She begins to look at that employee differently and sparks a conversation to see if he got a raise recently.
Lawrence
Lawrence is introduced in the scene the same way he left us last season...D!cked-down in Tasha long-stroking her from the back. He is currently still looking for a place to stay and is crashing on an air mattress at his homeboy house. Making Tasha his weekend flame. His homeboy brings up that he doesn't take "the bank girl" on any dates and that he appears to just be smashing her. Trying to assure his nice-guy agenda he decides to take her on a date. (During the time he was scheduled to meet up with Issa). Soon after his date with Tasha Lawrence shows up at Issa place to pick up the mail. He knocks on the door to retrieve his mail and Issa opens the door with letter in hand. Lawrence then makes the excuse that he has to get something from out the bathroom. She allows him inside her home. As Lawrence makes his way back towards the front door he swoops Issa up and proceeds to bang her out on the couch.
Confused and uncertain of what just happened between Lawrence and Issa. I think he was trying to close this chapter with Issa but we all know he just made matters even worse. You can clearly see that Issa took that tryst as a "we working it out and we will be back together" but not for Lawrence.
