"Can you believe it took this show seven whole episodes to finally dabble in necrophilia? As we saw last week, Dina Standish's husband, Doug, has died, and rather than calling the morgue and making arrangements, she simply gets ready for bed and goes to sleep next to the body. What could initially be seen as a relatable, albeit extreme, bit of procrastinating is soon revealed to be a reluctance to part with the body that lasts for days on end."
"As the other women divvy up Dina's cases back at the law firm, Liberty feels left out of the loop when she learns that both Allura and Emerald have been in contact with their grieving boss. Liberty says she feels like she'll never be a part of their American sisterhood, finally making a brave political statement about the xenophobia British people apparently face throughout Los Angeles."
"I do love the notion that Allura, Emerald, and Dina all gossip behind Liberty's back about how the American version of The Office is superior to the original, that they're glad Madonna went back to using her original accent, and that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has gotten much better now that Lisa Vanderpump left. I bet they even all get time off for the Fourth of July but make Liberty work."
Dina Standish's husband Doug dies and Dina keeps his body in bed, refusing to arrange a morgue or funeral while the corpse decays. Other women at the law firm redistribute Dina's cases while Liberty feels excluded after learning Allura and Emerald visited Dina. Liberty worries she will never belong to their American sisterhood and frames the exclusion as xenophobia against British people in Los Angeles. The women gossip about pop culture preferences and privileges, highlighting class and cultural divides within the group. Liberty attempts to visit Dina but is intercepted by Carrington, who competes for Dina's favor during the grotesque wake.
