Editor's view:

This episode’s portrayal of grief feels tragically real, exposing the raw, messy underbelly of loss.

Tracy’s stoicism, while seemingly cold, speaks volumes about societal expectations that pressure women to be strong, silencing their pain.  Her quiet generosity towards Gregory's family further highlights the unspoken burdens women carry. 

 Meanwhile, Finn’s self-destruction through alcohol, a sadly common coping mechanism, underscores the hypocrisy of expecting stoicism while simultaneously stigmatizing open expressions of grief. This stark contrast lays bare the impossible tightrope society asks mourners to walk.  We demand they “be strong” while denying them healthy outlets for their pain. 

 The writers deserve credit for not shying away from this uncomfortable truth. Let’s hope this storyline sparks a conversation about healthier grieving practices and dismantles the harmful expectation of silent suffering.
