For the past month, I’ve been re-watching/studying the series for the gazillionth time. As always, I’m stuck on this particular scene and episode. It completely baffles me. I just don’t get it.

 

I feel there’s a major disconnect between S4, Ep. 5 and S4, Ep. 6. Like there should have been an episode or two in between.

 

I don’t understand why Brian was suddenly so focused on Lindsay and asked her to come up “on stage” with him when he’s about to make his speech. I don’t understand why Justin is so shiny‑happy. I’m usually good at figuring these things out, but I am completely stumped. Did I miss something in the previous S4 episodes/scenes?

 

As Joe Miller (Denzel Washington) said to Andrew Beckett (Tom Hanks) in the film “Philadelphia”: Explain this to me like I’m a two‑year‑old. Because there’s an element to this thing that I just cannot get through my thick head.
