I really love this show - and I have rewatched basically all of it these past few months. This was honestly a really important episode. There are lots of feelings and emotions about the Belcher family that I have developed as a viewer that really were handled so beautifully in this episode. Everyone has their moment and I did get really emotional towards the end. I was practically screaming at the TV telling Linda to leave the stupid play and go be with Louise. I was so distracted with my emotions towards Linda that I didn't even see the ending coming. Tina really deserved this moment of being the big sister- and Louise equally deserved this moment of realizing that it is okay to grow up and not be as crazy or as immature- all while having her secret passions for poetry be validated. Gene, Bob, and Linda also had good moments this episode- but I found myself focused on Louise and Tina. Really really beautiful episode.
