She ends a night of mischief by catching a glance at a photo on Quentin’s nightstand that confirms a popular fan theory from last week’s episode. Right when it looks like Tanya might finally be the voice of reason for a change, the influence of pure cocaine and a stunning male Italian specimen catch her in a haze. Many people already suspected online throughout the last week that Quentin and Jack’s partnership is different than was originally let on, and after Tanya caught a peek at their bedroom, she warns Portia the two men may not actually be related. Speaking of Tanya’s (Jennifer Coolidge) assistant, the last we saw of her was when she was ditched by the charismatic Essex lad, Jack (Leo Woodall) due to his needing to satisfy his “uncle” Quentin’s sexual needs. We still need to know whether Albie will find out about Dom’s association with Lucia, and whether he will resolve his unfinished business with Portia (Haley Lu Richardson). The focus on Bert leaves Dom and Albie sidelined somewhat, something that is naturally going to happen, but also ruins the pacing of the back-half of the season a little bit. The rejection Bert was forced to witness was the final nail in the coffin on a vacation in which he wanted to get in touch with his purest self. Perfect strangers that symbolize a clean slate. These women were supposed to represent what the Di Grassos could be rather than what they already have been. Dom and Albie have been directly affected by his poor choices earlier in life, such as familial infidelity that has been made a clear theme of the season. Bert is in his 70s or 80s, and his lineage is the last token of respectability he was hoping to make good on. The curtailed reunion has Bert in tears at dinner later in the evening, finally lowering the curtain on a key trait. When the Di Grassos make their arrival, the elderly matriarch of the female side of the family is anything but pleased to make their acquaintance. This finally changes when the family packs up with Lucia (Simona Tabasco) by their side, eagerly anticipating a meeting with their Sicilian ancestors that have been discovered and tracked down. We get hints of what he was like in his younger years through his offspring, but we don’t get to understand what’s going on between his own ears. Murray Abraham), has been a purely supporting crutch for the younger men in the family, a reflection and a shadow of their personalities and heritages. The grandfatherly patriarch of the clan, Bert (F. Watching and waiting for Albie to transform into the sex-crazed lunacy of Dom was the meat of the meal thus far, but this also had many fans (this writer included) disappointed at the character that was chosen as the third wheel. Dom (Michael Imperioli) and Albie (Adam DiMarco) have been the sponges of the family before this week’s episode. A prime example of this is the dynamic of the Di Grasso men. The characters who start out flat slowly start to round out, and the ones who got all of the shine earlier start to drift into the background of other people’s lives. For the most part, every person you see on this show gets at least a little bit of their story told.
