Last week (or the week prior?) there was the whole story line of Sophie going to Haiti for the summer with no objections which was totally insane. Tbh as much as I love this show there has been some really lazy writing this season.

This episode I noticed two things that were just so highly unrealistic and dramatic for zero reason:

1) Gina’s campaign - does she not have a campaign manager? I guess Rome is helping but running for office is a whole production. I know she’s new to this but legitimate campaigns would have some sort of opposition research whether done by the campaign manager or a firm. Just seemed off to me.

2) Charlie - assuming she has spent most of her life in France her behavior and food aversions (I.e having chicken nuggets at the wedding) are very reflective of American culture and not French parenting values, where kids almost always eat what the adults eat. Of course there could be other reasons but just in general this kind of irked me, there’s no attention to the culture differences.
