Teddy's plan to justify shooting Darius was to pretend he was a robber (IIRC). Nothing got stolen but still goes nicely with the theme.
I thought about that too.
I dunno just seems off compared to the rest.

Nothing was stolen in the Teddy Perkins episode right?
I think that's the only episode where someone hasn't gotten robbed.
He also pushed a girl down the stairs for acting up and throwing a drink on Al. She'd likely break her neck if Earn wasn't there.Tracy's not a mean dude. He's loving life. He didn't want to fight Earn and went easy on him. Didn't boast about whoopin him in the car none either. Good guy Tracy.
Edit: yeah he stole that gun from the frat, but they were confederates so he did good as far as I'm concerned.

Brian Tyree Henry is doing amazing work every week. He conveys so much about Albert's depression through just his eyes and shoulders; it's a remarkable performance.
Yeah, I don't see him as malicious either, but to me that makes his recklessness even more dangerous to be around, haha.Dang I forgot about that. Shows my bias. Hmm I need to rewatch the episode again, but he pushed her forehead in a dismissive, get out of my face kind of way if I recall. So he's definitely reckless and inconsiderate, and those traits can hurt those around him. If Earn wasn't there she could've been badly hurt. But so far I don't see him as malicious.

Shame he couldn't fit that in. That moment of levity between them would have made what comes later even sadder.
Yessssss.
lol obvious why it's not in but that's a good watch
Remember that dude growing up where everyone would always have to tell him "You play too much"?Yeah, that also reminds me of when he was playing with that Civil War era pistol and pointed it at Earn and pretended to shoot. OK Tracy is fucking dumb in a dangerous way lol
Earn's introduction to Tracy was Tracy taking him to a mall where Tracy shoplifts and sets Earn up with stolen gift cards. Malicious or not, he's consistently fucking Earn over.Tracy might be ignorant and careless...but he isnt a bad dude.
Earn should have confronted them earlier about how he really feels about the current entourage setup.
No one is forcing Earn to do anything...Tracy isnt really concealing what kind of guy he is. Earn is supposed to be the smart one yet acts like an idiot. Good luck on convincing someone that you can manage them if you cant even manage your own life.Earn's introduction to Tracy was Tracy taking him to a mall where Tracy shoplifts and sets Earn up with stolen gift cards.

There's that girl Van saw him with on Instagram in the Drake episode.Earn has no other women and he's fronting on Van. Tracy pwned him without trying.

...When I look at Earn, I see the worst parts of me and what could happen to me if I don't check myself. Earn went to a top tier university, Earn is smart, Earn has ambition, and Earn thinks he knows everything. But, Earn is also a failure who rarely follows through on his grand ambitions. As a result, he walks around constantly angry with a massive chip on his shoulder. Earn can never truly relax. He can't relax when he's with the boys at the club because he feels he's better than that shit. He may be black, but he isn't part of that hood life and never can be, he's too educated and thinks too highly of himself. However, when dropped into a more higher class situation he can't relax either because he feels he doesn't belong. Whether that be because of race due to being surrounded by white folk that don't understand him or through class because everyone else is so much better off than him that he feels outrageously jealous. So, Earn just stays angry all the time and makes passive aggressive comments about everything because he's truly angry at himself for allowing himself to be in the situation he's in.
His blow up has nothing to do with the trip and everything to do with him not having complete control over his life. Earn is the perfect representation of Middle Class and up black folk that feel out of place in either world.

There another episode next week. I'll miss this show (again).Caught up with this season last night in preparation for the episode (finale?) tonight. This is my favorite show on TV right now. I've lived in Atlanta or suburbs around the city my whole life though, so I'm probably biased. I actually saw Donald Glover out in Edgewood a few months ago. I think most folks there recognized him, but I didn't see anyone approach him. Thought that was pretty cool and probably a relief for him.
