There’s no doubt that Akingbola has been a steady force throughout the season as the Banks’ house manager, Geoffrey. HONORABLE MENTION | It’s hard to single out just one person in Bel-Air’s super talented ensemble, but we have to acknowledge Jimmy Akingbola’s stellar performance in this week’s episode of the Peacock series. “If you’re ready to talk, I am ready to listen.” Jess, alas, couldn’t stop the trigger from being pulled, but she did save the widower’s life, after which Law showed us how shaken her otherwise-unflappable character was. “You’re not even going to try to fight? You’re just gonna die a wife killer?” she asked. Throughout the eight-minute standoff, Law toggled between Knight’s well-trained handling of such a crisis and her more compassionate side, as she urged the suspect to seek his fair trial. When Jess found a suspected “wife killer” cowered in his bedroom, gun to head, the man (A-plus guest star Mike Erwin) invited the fed to simply “walk away” and let him end things - but “that’s actually the worst part about it, the sound,” Jess remarked. HONORABLE MENTION | Katrina Law just recently spoke of how NCIS‘ Jessica Knight is inclined to talk things out, and what rolls around this week but a prime showcase for the negotiator’s skills. Trust us when we tell ya - this Young kid is goin’ places.

When the stress finally proved too much, leading the amiable and super-chill Beth to finally crack, Young rose to the cathartic occasion, throwing her entire body - magical, Meryl Street-level tear ducts included - into the emotional breakdown. Young’s impressively naturalistic acting style lent heartbreaking authenticity to Beth’s battle with Trichotillomania. The up-and-comer displayed a depth of talent well beyond her years throughout the 10-episode Hulu dramedy, with her most compelling work arriving in the flashback heavy penultimate installment, which found Young Beth careening toward a mommy issues-induced mental crash. HONORABLE MENTION | If you found yourself asking, “Who’s that girl?!” while watching Violet Young portray the younger version of Amy Schumer’s titular Life & Beth heroine, you were not alone. And energized by Youn’s performance, we can’t wait to join her on that journey.

At episode’s end, Sunja arrived at her son’s pachinko parlor, Youn’s eyes full of excitement but maybe also some anxiety, to declare that Kyunghee “wanted to see our homeland once more,” and to that end, “I want to take her home. Where was all this heading? The landowner spoke of how hearing your language on the streets of Korea, how just feeling that ground beneath your feet, makes you feel truly at home - at which point Sunja observed that Kyunghee would have been happy to go back once more.Īnd she will. She said the rice “reminds me of my mother, the day I got married,” and as that memory hit, Sunja succumbed to sobs. To eat white rice in their childhood had been a “luxury,” and “now we eat it every meal and don’t even notice. Youn had us rapt in the minutes that followed, as Sunja and the landowner got swept up in nostalgia, before explaining to Solomon that the rice had been brought over from Korea, as evidenced by its nuttier taste and harder bite.

And no sooner did the grains hit her lips, you saw a life lived flash before Sunja’s eyes. But no one could predict where that awkward introduction was heading.Īfter meeting Han and learning that she just graduated the sixth grade (having had education devalued like many a Korean girl), Sunja took a bite of the rice the landowner made for her guests. When Solomon suggested that he bring his grandmother along to Tokyo for another run at the landowner - to reiterate her stance that a house is “just a roof and walls” - she agreed.
