It’s a sucky situation, and the fact that Zoey didn’t mean for it to happen doesn’t make it hurt any less. Whatever your relationship, it would hurt to have the person you love confess they love you only to turn around and express their desire for someone else. Of course the position he was in would hurt. But there’s a difference in being justified in feeling a certain way and in that feeling being fair.
RIDICULOUS GLITCHING SONG HOW TO
This is clearly the first time they’re really had this kind of significant level of tension and anger between them, and she didn’t know how to handle that.Īs for Max, I think it’s really easy to blame people for negative, ugly, or inconvenient emotions. But I don’t think it was conscious boundary crossing so much as…he’s her best friend. Even in the aftermath of the two songs, when she asked Max if they could talk about what had just happened, he said no and she pushed ahead anyway. Jade: I don’t think she intentionally pushed boundaries, though she certainly was bad with maintaining them throughout the episode.
RIDICULOUS GLITCHING SONG MOVIE
Do you think Zoey was intentionally pushing boundaries in suggesting they resume their movie nights in the beginning of the episode? Was Max justified in his anger in the end? Source: Tumblr This was another friction-filled episode for Max and Zoey. Jane Levy honestly deserves an Emmy for all her work throughout the season, but this episode alone showcases her vast range of talents. This is the growth we’ve been needing to see from Zoey, and it’s what pushes her towards growing more and being more open with her feelings by the end of the season. It’s such an emotionally raw moment but it’s also the first time she allows herself to be open about her feelings, her insecurities and is willing to be vulnerable. I would have to say the most impressive moment is when she tells Max that Mitch isn’t getting better. I think Zoey, and Jane, did a remarkable job with that in this episode.Īmanda: This whole episode is such a whirlwind of Zoey’s emotions and moments that it’s difficult to pinpoint which moment is really the most impressive. But it is much more of a challenge when what you’re facing is your own baggage.

It’s easy to help everyone else fix their lives and learn a little something along the way. These are the moments that made me really feel something (other than second-hand embarrassment for Zoey – poor thing) I love when Zoey shows growth, and I think it was in this episode that it truly started to take hold. The scene towards the end where Zoey finally faces her hardest truth of the day.

The scene with Zoey and Tobin talking about mistakes. The scene where the high-pitched ringing started and the world went silent. While all the songs in this episode charmed me to no end, I think it’s the softer moments that really impressed me. You can tell she puts 100% of herself in everything she does when playing Zoey. We already knew she was a very talented actor, but her singing and dancing skills are just off the charts. Jacquie: Jane Levy absolutely blew me away in this episode. Jane Levy had shown her acting chops all season leading the show but she really blew me away with this episode. I also think she deserves a special shout out for “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” and “Pressure” as both were so physical along with her singing. Jacqueline: I was most impressed with the final scene with Zoey and Mitch, you could feel her pain. As for Zoey, in particular, I will say that the growth and the strength it took for her to go to her dad, and just be upfront with him, like she did in that final scene, well …that’s one of the biggest Zoey moments of the season and one of the reasons why Zoey, even when she’s being …well, Zoey, is still such a likeable protagonist. She has the most insane range, and she can literally play Zoey in her highest highs and lowest lows without us ever feeling like she’s overreaching. Lizzie: It’s weird because I feel like the juxtaposition of her first musical number and her last say all that needs to be said about her performance in this episode, and in this season of Zoey’s Playlist in general.

They really were incredible onscreen together. I would be remiss, however, if I didn’t mention that Peter Gallagher also blew me away in that scene. It’s hard not to pick the final scene with her dad as a standout, because she was so amazing in that quiet moment between them. It doesn’t matter if it’s comedy or drama she commits wholeheartedly to it and knocks it out of the park every time. Jade: Jane Levy is amazing and deserves all the Emmys for her work on this show. Source: Tumblr Jane Levy has been amazing as Zoey all season, but this episode allowed her to really show many different facets of Zoey’s character.
