Growing Up
Meek, conservative Arissa awakens with sufficient courage to aim higher both life and men. Just in time to meet a handsome, sober gentleman who leaves her "smitten like a kitten." Meanwhile, Brynn's panic attacks become sufficiently distressing to require addressing. She fears she is "going crazy," and reaches out to the only authority on this topic in their lives: her mother. A woman who has her own methods of dealing with this problem. Later, Arissa continues to grow.
Uplifting and heartwarming episode on the topics of proper match in relationships, and "mental health" as it was understood at this time in American history. The cast generally express thoughtful and attentive care for Brynn, which is refreshing to see. Certainly speaks volumes for the quality of relationship among castmembers. The illustration of co-occurring substance use disorder as self-medication for mental illness was especially well-developed. This concept was ahead of its time.
This episode is another peak in this show's continued crash course in serious adult topics we all encounter over the course of our lives.
