Stepping up to full cast member status, Alexis Bledel's Emily shows us what life in the Colonies looks like as a member of the "unwomen". Terrible. That's how it looks .

These are our notes from last season with updates from what we saw tonight in red: Ford: Dead. Maybe. Killed by Dolores in front of the Delos Board of Directors. Another possibility includes the Ford we saw get shot was actually a host impersonator. Dead. Saw his body. Dolores: Alive and making her own choices, the first of which is to murder Ford. When we left her, she was taking potshots at board members with a large revolver. Large and in charge of the bandit hosts. Exists as Delores and Wyatt together. William: Confirmation of his identity as the Man In Black. Somewhat disillusioned after discovering his pursuit of the maze was all for nothing. When last seen, he'd been shot in the left arm and had suffered a pretty catastrophic break in his right arm at Dolores' hands. But at least he was having fun. Alive and in the middle of the game he always wanted to play. Logan: Rode off into the sunset , naked and with only a feather to keep him company. No sightings. Hale: Had front row seats for Ford's suicide/murder, making her in prime seating to get gunned down by Dolores. Teamed up with a very conflicted Bernard. Not sure if she survives the whole season though. Sizemore: Alone in cold storage wondering where all the robots went. Survived and picked up by Maeve as... entertainment, basically. Bernard: Now with full recall of being a host-ified version of Arnold. Also at the gala/massacre in Escalante, but probably not in any danger. He did get banged around some, but had also just been patched up from Clementine shooting him... Not in perfect shape. Maeve: Also made her first programming-independent choice by getting off the train to find her "daughter". This is a reunion made for disappointment. On the hunt for her daughter with Sizemore and Hector in tow. Hector: Probably gunned down while "kicking up a row", defending Maeve's escape. Survived the row and looking to cause more mayhem at Maeve's behest. Armistice: Now just one-armed, but still causing mayhem in the mid-decks of Delos HQ. Not seen. Stubbs: Abducted by misbehaving Ghost Nation warriors and NOBODY said a thing. Shows up right away, but no word on how he is "back" from the abduction. Elsie: Missing and last scene being choked. No one showed the audience her body though. Not seen. Felix: Aided and abetted Maeve's escape in a big way. Probably stuck in the elevator since the lights went out in the complex. Not seen.

This episode featured everything that makes TV great. A wedding. A (wo)manhunt. An out of control teen. And Jack's old screwdriver. Only the A-Team van and Webster could have improved this episode. Actually, we found a couple trouble spots that we discuss those as well as the multitude of stuff we really adored! Listen in for a loooong podcast, people!

This one broke our heart. We practically threw popcorn at the screen during Joel and Midge's post-birthday shenanigans. Luckily, we go out with a bang and on a high note. Previous podcasts: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Things start to come together for Midge, professionally anyway, just as she does everything she can to kill her career in one night. Jane Lynch guest stars as Maisel-verse comedy icon Sophie Lennon. Previous podcasts: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

Whether or not you wanted or needed the details of Deja's hard upbringing, you got them with this week's episode. If you wondered about Deja's permanence on the show, the producers explaining Deja's whole background should give you the answer. She's here for a while. If you're not sure we needed this episode, give Caroline a chance to convince you. She changed Paul's in this podcast.

Midge talks a good talk, but she can't stay away from the spotlight, wherever she may find it. Mrs. X at the Gaslight may not work the club circuit right now, but she's still making people laugh. Previous podcasts: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

For all the other stuff that happened this week, I think we'll be able to look back at this one as the one Kevin started to become the man his father always wanted him to be. Be sure to check out our other podcasts for This Is Us: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15

This isn't going to be easy. Not Midge's daytime career, not her comedy career, and not her life at home. Like we would have told Midge if she were our friend, "No one likes work stories." Previous podcasts: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4

After an amazing montage of the Maisel family both moving in and moving out of their apartment, reality reasserts itself when Midge and kids move in with Abe and Rose. Saying the move is a big adjustment is an understatement. Scene stealing moments: * The comedian with the suicidal puppet. * Abe's description of Rose's extended trip to the bathroom.

A bunch of our major characters went on little journeys to find some measure of control in their tumultuous lives. Even Suzy gets in on the act when she invades the Friar's Club in search of a mentor. Previous podcasts: 1 | 2

Sunday we saw the huge event depicting Jack's passing. This Tuesday we dealt with the first step of the aftermath: Jack's funeral. The show's creators decided against dwelling on the funeral aspect, instead focusing on the family car. The car works as a tribute to how much Jack wanted to keep his family safe and happy. We see it on the day they got it, other important days like teaching the boys to drive, and finally the day Rebecca takes over in the driver's seat.

This episode  was the one we've been waiting for. This special episode, which aired after the Super Bowl, showed us all how the show's defining event went down. We all knew the outcome, but our hearts broke anyway. Be sure to check out our other podcasts for This Is Us: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13

I would personally LOVE to be at one of those dinners when Abe (Tony Shalhoub) and Moishe (Kevin Pollak) start going at it. I'm not saying I'd like to be Joel (never Joel) or Midge in that situation. But, maybe an uncle or someone without a real dog in the fight. Every time either father is on screen, they dominate the scene. This episode features a meeting of these titans and the fireworks are AWESOME. Previous podcasts: 1
