    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The Black woman riding the blue motorcycle is an homage to Bessie Stringfield. She was the first Black woman to ride solo across the continental United States. She did so in 1930 on an Indian Scout at the age of 19. During WWII, she served as a civilian courier for the US Army riding a blue 61 cubic inch Harley Davidson between Army bases. She died in 1993 from a heart condition, having kept riding right up until the time of her death. She was inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2002.

      The Butterfly Gold pattern on the cup on Montrose's table was not introduced until 1970, fifteen years after the events of this episode take place.
    • Quotes

      Hippolyta Freeman: [Speaking to George Freeman] When I was a kid, I thought I was big enough to have every right to name something out of this world, and then I just started shrinking myself. By the time I met you, I'd already gotten so small. And I thought you knew how big I wanted to be. I thought you saw me. But you just stood by and let me shrink myself more for you.

    10/10
    One of the top 5 tv episodes I've ever seen.
    I had to scroll through a lot of clueless white boys' complaints to find my fellow "I Am" fans. I thought I had to be dreaming up this episode because no way could there be anything this lovely on tv in 2020, could there? But "damn, it feels real," and joyous, and angry, and I loved it. I second all the other 10-star writers' more specific comments about it thus far: a lovely tribute to Black women, a breath of fresh air, and all the rest.
