I just want a full on Erica Ortegas back story episode already. But this was a very enjoyable episode. Im not that picky with music in general, and yet also enjoy musicals generally, so I was happy.

It occurs to me that her partner died around the filming of.this season, and she may not.have had it in her to be a lead for an episode.

I didn't know that.That's a fair assessment, and makes sense. I hope she takes good care of herself and takes the time she needs to mourn.

She has written a heart-wrenched, tragic letter about this experience and grief. It was very moving/difficult to read and gained me a lot of respect for her:

And I just read every inspiring, touching word. Thank you. Deeply, thank you for sharing this.
