Was Daniel Wrong? And Other Questions We Have After Last Night’s “Insecure”
Another episode of “Insecure,” and other week of L’s and life lessons. Check out the moments that left us cringing, laughing, and pondering lingering questions.
Can we agree Molly is taking things too far with her parents?
Last week, I was defending her fleeing from her parent’s apartment in a tizzy because she couldn’t handle the fact that her father cheated at one point. But now she’s screening and blocking her mom’s calls. Sad. Like sis, what did your mom do in this situation? Nothing. And while she likely feels betrayed by her parents keeping this information from her, they really didn’t have to tell her anything about their marriage.
Is Lawrence receiving all this truth?
My disgust towards Lawrence stems mostly from the real-life men who attempt to rationalize his foolishness and hold him up as if he were some type of angel. So, on most weeks I don’t sympathize with him. But last night, I found myself feeling some real sympathy. It’s one thing when your personal life is not going the way you would have liked. But when you think you’re doing well at your job and then you realize people are simply sparing your feelings, that sucks, especially since he’d dedicated so much of his life toward the app.
It was during this scene that his coworker dropped a gem on him: “Sometimes saying goodbye means you’re making room for something better.”
And I have to wonder if that applied to his relationship with Issa as well.
Why did Issa pop in on her neighbor bae?
These two are not in a relationship. They barely know each other. Why in the world would she think she could make a pop up visit? The least she could have done was texted him and saved herself the embarrassment. She slicked down her edges, put on a fly shirt, gave herself a pep rap all for nothing.
Is Dro taking advantage of Molly?
My friend text me this last night after the episode aired. I think the answer is quite simple. And I’m sure I addressed it in the last recap. But for the people in the back, Dro has known Molly since they were kids. He knows what she wants out of life. I mean, we all saw her flip out over her parent’s imperfect marriage. She did that because they were aspirational for her. And now she’s questioning whether the type of relationship and marriage she wants is even possible. Dro knows that being a married man, he can’t and won’t be the one to give her anything even close to what she wants. And while she was the one who invited him up, I think as a friend it was selfish of him to oblige. No good can come of this.
Is Issa really about this hoe life?
Questionable at best. While she is definitely and only tryna f*ck, she’s got to be less affected by the men in her hoetation being unavailable and, in the case of Niko, unwilling. Maybe the answer lies in better communication and increasing her roster. But the thought that Issa might communicate clearly in uncomfortable situations is…a stretch
