    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Anna receives a picture of herself standing in front of Compton's Cafeteria. In 1959, Compton's was a hangout for San Francisco's transgender community. Police and staff made a practice of harassing patrons. Early trans activists picketed the place in July 1966. In August there were two nights of rioting in response to arrests of trans patrons. This was the second known instance of the LGBT community fighting back against oppression in the United States.

      Mary Ann and Robert are heading east on Market Street on their way to the airport when they pass Safeway and Mary Ann tells Robert that's where she met Michael. Not true; she met him at the Marina Safeway, which is nowhere near the one at Church and Market. Soon thereafter Mary Ann decides to stay and gets out of the car while Robert presumably continues on to the airport. But the car is now heading west on Market.

    8/10
    Good start to the latest chapter at 28 Barbary Lane
    Mary Ann returns to Barbary Lane for Mrs. Madrigal's 90th birthday celebration & finds herself engaged in some familial drama. So first, the cast; Linney & Dukakis make another appearance in the roles they made famous, Paul Gross make a welcome return as Brian, and Murray Bartlett effortlessly steps into the role of Mouse. In addition, we have Page taking the role of Shawna, who thinks she's Mary Ann & Brian's daughter (but is actually the child of deceased friend Connie), and Barnett as Mouse's younger lover. We also meet the new tenants, one of whom has recently transitioned to male & thinks he's experiencing some confusion.

    All the characters have moved on over the past 25 years although, I'm a bit confused about that timeline & Shawna's stated age. Nevertheless, it looks like another party at 28 Barbary Lane and I wouldn't miss it for the world.
