While watching shows and movies, I always try to put myself into questionable choices trying to resonate and understand where characters decision come. I really can`t imagine a life without my smile. It`s a part of me and I understand why Gretchen (OUAT`s Violet) wanted her smile. Smile was written by David Hoselton and Karen Struck, and directed by Bill D鈥橢lia.
Before talking about the big Smile surgery, let's talk about Claire and Morgan's fraud case. It was an interesting take on the usual fraud stories and using the contrast between Claire's and Megan's personalities and takes on lives. I did feel for both patients and was quite during the death scene. Personally, I warmed up to Reznick as well. Morgan is a complicated person and the more we find out the more entertaining it is to watch her.
Living without a smile must be terrifying and Olivia Steel Falconer delivered an amazing performance here. Not sure if they've used some props or local anesthesia to stop her from smiling but it did seem all her. The complexity they've created about her was interesting, they put her into a complex situation and tried to expand her story with the writing so we would care more about her. And they did succeed in their attempspt, caus I was heartbroken the moment I've thought she died. And while I was happy after they've find a solution, thanks dear Dr Park, the more important and impressive part was the talk between Andrews and Shaun. How to barry such a burden?
A special shoot out to all the Shaun-Aaron and Aaron-Debbi scenes. Shaun playing matchmaker was hilarious and Freddie`s smile is radiating. Aaron finding someone and his bonding with Debbi was really sweet. That last scene though great acting from Richard Shiff.
Last but not least I wanna punch Chris D`Elia in the face so hard. I thought Shaun and Kenny could have something really sweet but this is really despicable at this point. The way he let Shaun down was terrible and I hope Shaun steps up to him next week and puts him into his place before the season checks out.
