The entire time I was watching this, I was either half asleep or grabbing my screen and screaming CARLA IS YOUR REAL MOM, YOU IDIOT!

Ncuti carried this episode. His preformance was gorgeous and emotional, and his scenes were the best scenes.

The resolution of Ruby's mother left such a sour taste in my mouth. How do you go from Church on Ruby Road to this? How do you go from the scene where she smashes that f**king iPad to this? How do you go from Carla saying she doesn't want Ruby to find her biological mother to this?

How do you undermine a black woman raising a child and doing all of the labor to placing the title of mother on a white woman who happened to give birth as a teenager?

Unrealistic, insulting, and downright boring. Actually despise this episode.
