It’s the 100th episode of Superstore, and a bittersweet one at that, with the episode serving as Amy Sosa’s huge send-off.
It’s Amy’s final day at Cloud 9 on Superstore Season 6 Episode 2, and if it confirmed us something, it’s that there’s a gap in our hearts with out Amy.
Superstore had lots to cowl to shut Amy’s arc, together with saying goodbye, assigning ultimate supervisor duties, and maybe, most significantly, coping with her relationship with Jonah. And whereas all the pieces that occurred didn’t appear out of character, we can’t assist however really feel disillusioned about Amy and Jonah.
Certain, long-distance didn’t appear believable, however neither did the present state of affairs. Truthfully, nothing about Amy and Jonah’s state of affairs appeared reasonable except Jonah went with Amy to California, however that would not occur.
However there’s nonetheless a problem with how they left Amy and Jonah’s relationship. It felt unfinished — like there was much more to say, however no time to correctly resolve something.
Amy, we have been collectively for years. We reside collectively; we work collectively; we’re elevating Parker collectively; I do not know what else you might want to know! And I feel I deserve slightly extra than simply ‘see the way it goes.’
Jonah
Was that presupposed to be the purpose? As a result of if it was, it didn’t come throughout positively.
A relationship with unfinished enterprise has its benefits, and we should always give Superstore the advantage of the doubt. Jonah might at all times get again along with Amy and transfer to California each time the present ends.
However did they even break up? Are they on maintain? Will they do some bizarre long-distance factor? It looks as if they broke up, however as a result of the present put an enormous query mark on their relationship, it’s laborious to know for certain.
Superstore put an enormous query mark on their relationship, and we have no idea something apart from Jonah just isn’t going to California. Is that this higher than a agency breakup or worse? Who is aware of what’s going to occur? Solely time will inform.
Amy: Jonah, what if I am unsuitable? What if I get on the market, and I understand that I made a mistake?
Jonah: I am guessing you will know the place to seek out me.
In addition to, that was what “California Half 2” tried to get throughout. With Amy Sosa gone, we don’t anticipate the group’s dynamics to alter considerably, however we’ll really feel one thing lacking.
That’s the reason we nonetheless have hope for Superstore, regardless of our anxiousness over what the present might be like with out Amy. All the things is up within the air, so it’s inconceivable to say how the subsequent a number of episodes will play out. Nonetheless, we do place confidence in this entertaining and groundbreaking present.
Amy’s precise send-off was candy, humorous, and effectively carried out.
All through, Glenn and Mateo scrambled to place collectively a tribute for Amy to look at on the finish of the day, but it surely proved to be simpler stated than carried out.
We thought it could be hilariously dangerous due to how they struggled, however Glenn and Mateo pulled it off and made us cry within the course of.
We anticipate nothing much less from each character’s contribution to this tribute. Cheyenne’s unusual phrases ended up being hilarious, Garrett’s ongoing disdain for Cloud 9 whereas being surprisingly candy, Jonah trying to be humorous however not showing that method.
Amy: It is simply this transfer is numerous strain on the connection, and what if it would not work out? Jonah’s uprooting his entire life for me.
Dina: That may not be true. That place is a land of liberal small-boned males who drink Kombucha and accumulate sea glass with out disgrace. Chances are high Jonah would find yourself in California ultimately.
Everybody remained true to themselves throughout Amy Sosa’s ultimate moments at Cloud 9, which made her send-off far more satisfying.
The pivotal second, in fact, was Mateo’s shock track on the finish. Who knew he might sing? That second was absurdly humorous, and Mateo acquired the final phrase, which he at all times does.
Amy’s tribute couldn’t have performed out higher. Superstore did a wonderful job, and we noticed simply how a lot Amy Sosa had impacted everybody at Cloud 9 from starting to finish.
Issues acquired much more emotional when Glenn gave Amy Myrtle’s ashes (since she at all times wished to go to California) and Amy’s I-9 — her interview sheet from the summer season she first labored at Cloud 9 all these years in the past.
If you happen to see somebody ugly crying within the nook, it’s positively us. However fortunately, we managed to interrupt out a couple of laughs when Glenn and Amy shared a pandemic type hug — they stood six ft aside and hugged themselves.
Dina additionally had an ideal arc. Whereas Amy anxious about her future, and Mateo and Glenn labored on Amy’s tribute, Dina was on the hunt for a brand new finest buddy.
In spite of everything, Dina wants somebody to uncomfortably share her life particulars with and boss round as she sees match.
However all through her mission, Dina involves a realization that broke our hearts over again and made us bear in mind how a lot we’ll miss Amy’s presence.
You realize, the tougher I attempt to change you, the extra I understand that uh… possibly you are not replaceable. I do not know, that is in all probability unsuitable. Most likely simply drained or one thing.
Dina
Dina realizes she can’t discover a new finest buddy as a result of Amy is already hers. She can’t change Amy as a result of her finest buddy is irreplaceable.
After we thought we couldn’t cry any tougher, Superstore proved us unsuitable.
The touching second between Amy and Dina reminded us what Superstore has been about from the start. On the finish of the day, this present just isn’t about one singular character or relationship.
Superstore is in regards to the eternal bonds of friendship. Romances will at all times come and go, however the bonds these workers created and maintain with one another is what makes this present particular.
Amy and Jonah’s relationship could have cooled down, however Garrett was there to assist Jonah choose up the items whereas Dina and Amy reminisced on their friendship.
Thanks for reminding us, Superstore. We can’t wait to see what comes subsequent.
