![]() : My roommate has more makeup than the Kardashians combined.My roommate has more makeup than the Kardashians combined. And they're both getting so much out of this time that they're spending together. It's incredibly sweet that they're navigating this new phase in their relationship where they can be happy. It's adorable to witness that, and it's the happiest we've seen Gina outside of her highest moments with Rome. And even when they butt heads a bit, or he does something extra, she looks at him with such excitement and gratitude that she's finally the apple of her father's eye. He loves her so much, and he's beside himself with ways to show it. Using tree metaphors, Katherine describes how she often feels less integral to the family at times too, but everyone matters.Gina and Ronald's relationship is one of the sweet spots of the hour and this back half of the season. Katherine makes it right in the nick of time and even manages to talk an anxious Theo back into his costume after Snow White makes him feel unimportant. In order to buy her the extra 20 minutes she needs to arrive before it starts, Eddie orchestrates a working moms meeting between a bunch of the overzealous parents backstage and the unsuspecting principal. Eddie really wants to fix this for her, so he tries to come up with inventive ways to get her there, but in the end, it’s Katherine’s prowess in the courtroom that allows her to maneuver her way there almost in time. Speaking of heartbreaking moments, Theo - Eddie and Katherine’s son - is dressed up as the cutest little tree you ever did see for a part in his school’s production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, but due to an email mix up, Katherine is in court all day and won’t be able to make the performance. Ugh, guys, I’m genuinely upset by this!! (Recap continues on page 2.) He begs her not to get out of the car, but she does and says her goodbyes, for good. A tearful Maggie tells him that’s not the deal. With considerably less playfulness than normal, they make plans to get tacos the next night before Gary breaks down and tells her through tears he can’t watch her die and implores her not to ask him to. ![]() Visibly upset, Gary tells her to have it her way and drives her home. The next point wins and, of course, Maggie scores it. Oh my gosh, please win, Gary! He starts strong and is even up 15-6 at one point, but his boastful “we’re going to chemo” chant is short lived when Maggie ups her game, admitting she played in college and is soon up 20-19. She agrees to play but tells him if she wins, she’s not getting treatment, and he can’t ever mention it again to her or anyone. He takes her to play basketball, telling her if he beats her, she’s going to fight cancer with him by her side and win just like she did before. Gary tells her he wishes she had never met him - so that she would’ve started on treatment, but it’s still a mildly devastating moment for them both. She just wants to live out the rest of her days with all of them, not undergoing treatment that isn’t going to save her anyway. She tells him the day after she met him she was supposed to have her first round of chemo but because of being introduced to his friends and his way of life, she opted against it. Gary is flummoxed she should know better than anyone that it is beatable. Only Maggie isn’t planning on having treatment, choosing instead to live out her days without the side effects of aggressive medications. She dubs their day of fun as a “day of deception” and, realizing he should’ve just come to her and asked about it directly, Gary promises he’s going to be there for her through all the treatment. Just when Maggie’s about to open up, she takes a sip of a grape soda and knowing that she hasn’t told Gary of her love for the flavor, realizes he must’ve talked to Tom and therefore already knows about her cancer. ![]() He takes her for a hot air balloon ride and buys a deep-dish pizza, even though he’s not a fan. ![]() Over at Gary’s place, he’s planning a surprise day out for Maggie - mostly to give her the opportunity to tell him her cancer is back.
