Liz cuddling Agnes and asking, "Have I ever told you how your daddy and I met?" was also sweet, but like… Liz… that is a very long, maybe not altogether age-appropriate story for your kindergartener. "I'm a contrarian by necessity, not by choice - if people were wrong less often, my life would be much easier." "And considerably less smug." Liz making Red laugh by calling him out was pretty cute. Speaking of jarring Cooper lines, him saying, "You're telling me that sound did this" about Healy's corpse had such an "Ice-T in Law & Order: SVU" cadence, I almost spit out my water. But I've always had trouble getting on board with a woman who encourages Aram to do things that cause Cooper to "note" Aram's "tardiness." And wouldn't you know it, after Aram stops thinking so much and leans into his feelings (as encouraged by Lizzie)… and after Elodie's husband actually dies from an unexpected aneurism… and while Aram is waxing poetic to Lizzie on the phone at Elodie's husbands wake about how he loves her precisely because of how wild but also moral she is… he innocently comes across the prenup that she did, in fact, have with her husband that specified she would receive nothing from her husband's estate upon divorce - only upon death. While skydiving, Elodie tells him she'd like to have children with him in the future, but that also doesn’t seem totally plausible considering that she's technically married, and she won't divorce her husband in the state he's in because it just wouldn't be right, specifically mentioning that they don't even have a prenup.
As mentioned at the top of the recap, during all this, Aram is dealing with what has become his standard Elodie drama: She's making him do high-octane things that he half-hates, half-loves.
