Superstore Season 6 Episode 7 Assessment: The Trough

Spoilers

Feelings have been working excessive on Superstore Season 6 Episode 7

When America Fererra selected to depart the NBC comedy, Superstore misplaced its protagonist and its central love story. 

For probably the most half, Jonah’s been placing on a courageous face, and Superstore did not dive too deeply into his heartbreak. However that every one modified when Kelly was coerced right into a shift on the Stanton retailer and helped Jonah cope with feelings he did not notice he was repressing.

Amy hasn’t been onscreen since Superstore Season 6 Episode 2 aired, however her presence, or lack thereof, continues to be felt by her co-workers. 

Superstore is taken into account an ensemble, however Amy and Jonah’s relationship has all the time felt just like the story’s coronary heart. Jonah did not know what he was doing together with his life till he got here throughout a random Cloud 9 on his drive dwelling and determined to use for a job. 

It was there that he discovered not solely a household however the love of his life. Amy was the rationale Jonah felt such a right away connection to St. Lois, and it is doubtless that he would not have lasted lengthy on the Stanton retailer with out her. 

Now that Amy’s gone, Jonah feels as if he is misplaced his sense of objective. The emotional repercussions of their breakup is a narrative that might have a complete arc devoted to it.

Glenn: Jonah, you want our assist. Proper, Amy?
Sandra: Completely dude.
Jonah: Dude?
Sandra: She’s in California now. That is how individuals there discuss.

Who’s Jonah with out Amy?

However, sadly, there is not a lot time to seek out out on a sitcom. Particularly one which solely has a handful of episodes left.

Above all, the present wants to remain gentle, which is why it is comprehensible that the collection hasn’t spent an excessive amount of time diving into Jonah’s emotional state. 

The chance to verify in on Jonah in a light-hearted manner did come up in “The Trough.”

Mateo, who appears to be extra merciless than humorous recently, was prepared to do no matter it took to get Jonah out of Amy’s home. After all, it wasn’t as a result of he was involved about his buddy’s well-being, however as a result of he needed the home for himself. 

It isn’t shocking that Mateo would go so far as bringing Kelly to the shop. Many followers have been involved that the 2 would rekindle their previous relationship, however that did not become the case. 

Being pressured to work with Kelly offered Jonah the proper alternative to speak about what occurred with Amy. We nonetheless do not understand how he is doing or the place he stands with your entire scenario. 

Kelly: Can I simply ask what occurred with Amy?
Jonah: We simply weren’t on the identical web page about, uh, our future. And so we determined to interrupt up. It was, uh, mutual.
Kelly: I keep in mind us utilizing that phrase too.
Jonah: Yeah, however—
Kelly: I believe individuals say breakups are mutual as a result of they wish to really feel like no person’s the dangerous man. However, come on, normally, one particular person is hurting greater than the opposite.

Does he remorse not going to California?

Amy is the one who rejected the concept of marriage, however Amy is usually blunt when backed right into a nook. She needed to remain collectively, whether or not that concerned Jonah coming along with her or lengthy distance, however Jonah shot each concepts down. 

If it is checked out objectively, Jonah is technically the one who broke up with Amy. Was he proper to take action? That is as much as viewers to determine. However Jonah did have a selection in whether or not or to not pursue their relationship, and he selected to not. 

The purpose in all that is that the scenario is just too advanced to not surprise about. And if we’ve got so many ideas, Jonah should have much more. Fortunately, Jonah lastly let all of it out, so viewers may see simply the place he is at. 

Here is an concept. Perhaps, for those who’re gonna have chilly ft about the way forward for your relationship, you inform the man who’s received your two-year-old drooling on his chest! He is my little man by the way in which. I really like him to loss of life. However, perhaps, give him simply a sign, you realize? That you just’re gonna pull the rug out. As a result of let me inform you one thing, he is very comfy on that rug. Plenty of plans are hinging on that rug staying proper the place it’s. Yeah, we have moved on. She’s moved on! She’s residing in California in what I think about is an infinity pool, whereas I’m caught right here working at her retailer! Residing at her home! Coping with her neighbor’s tree that is previous the property line. You cope with it Amy!

Jonah

To place it merely, he isn’t in a cheerful place. 

Granted, these episodes have been written earlier than the Superstore writers have been conscious this might be the present’s remaining season. They have been doubtless intending to begin Jonah on the method of transferring on, in case a romantic alternative arose in a while within the present. 

It’s going to be compelling to see how issues change now that the present is being pressured to wrap up. America Ferrara has been very vocal about desirous to return to the collection, so it is onerous to think about that Jonah and Amy will not discover their manner again to one another by the tip of Superstore Season 6

Talking of getting again collectively, some severe sparks have been flying between Dina and Garrett. 

It has been so lengthy for the reason that two of them dated that it was believable to imagine Superstore was dropping their romance altogether. However, on condition that the 2 of them shared an almost-kiss, that is clearly not the case. 

Their missen to seek out “the trough” reminded us of the early days, and I could not assist however surprise if the 2 of them have been utilizing it as an excuse to spend time collectively. 

I imply, we used to hook up within the retailer, so we won’t actually choose.

Garrett

Dina, being Dina, would completely wish to resolve any secret the workers are protecting from her. However, it is attention-grabbing how usually she goes to Garrett for assist. In a couple of tidbits all through the season, it has been implied that Garrett nonetheless has lingering emotions for Dina, and I have been ready for a scene to shine extra gentle on the topic. 

The vet does seem to be an ideal match for Dina, nevertheless it by no means felt fairly proper. Dina and Garrett are full opposites in some methods however alike in others. It solely is sensible for Superstore to provide them one final shot. 

It is now or by no means. 

Stray Ideas: 

  • Marcus and Jonah have the funniest relationship on Superstore. Each time the 2 have a storyline collectively, the episode is certain to be a hit. Marcus has all the time taken his and Jonah’s bromance slightly severely, and the 2 being secret roommates was comedic excellence. 
  • It has been some time since we have seen Eric, so it was good that Superstore introduced him again. He brings out a softer aspect to Mateo, and he supplies a connection to Amy. 
  • Was anybody else actually digging Carol this episode? As a result of it could not have been simply Cheyenne and me. She had some nice factors about company, and recording Cheyenne’s confession was a badass transfer. 
  • Sandra role-playing as Amy was a spotlight of the episode. And, it gave Glenn an opportunity to get out some repressed emotions he did not notice he had. 

Over to you, TV Fanatics. What did you consider “The Trough?”

Do you suppose Jonah will transfer on from Amy? Or do you suppose Simmosa will reunite within the collection finale?

Drop a remark down beneath and tell us!
