“She’s completely undone.”

What do you do after not protesting enough to stop your childhood friend from bring murdered?
It was all too much for the tightly wound Mon, who finally needed a release.

She has to do the whole thing with people watching her.
Which means the Senator has no choice but to keep all that frustration hidden inside.
And it all ramped up and out at the marriage ceremony.

The wedding is just a disaster for her, Gilroy says.
That’s a kick in the face.
And then my God, Tay Kolma is Fredo!

He’s not the guy you thought he was.
Man, oh man, if you don’t need a drink!
And after the drink came the dance.

She’s deranged on that dance floor.
She’s completely undone.
I wanted to redeem Perrin as well, says Gilroy.

I really didn’t like that people were so down on Perrin from the first season.
So it was very pleasing to do his wedding speech and their scene together.
Well drink (and dance) to that!
