This season has been lacking in some humor and high jinks, but this episode had me laughing from the moment Meredith began rehashing her bat mitzvah drama to her dead-eyed family. Everyone on the trip plays a role: Whitney and Heather aren't really at the center of any real drama, making them both more commentators; Lisa has realigned with Meredith as her bestie to slight Bronwyn.
Imagine being in your 20s and your mom is talking about a fight between her middle-aged friends at the bat mitzvah she threw for herself, and she says, 'Last night was all about not having hate. And slut shaming is hate.' What else would you be able to do but just sit there?
It is the first episode where Meredith reminds us why she can be fun to watch: She can be effortlessly and unintentionally funny. I love seeing any semblance of these women moving on for the sake of having fun, which is, in this case, a trip to Mexico organized by Lisa.
But before all that, Bronwyn being attacked by a dog is CRAZY. Those photos looked like zombie-movie wounds, and yet she still came on this trip.
