Earn and Van have a game-changing relationship Talk in tonight's 'Atlanta.' sepinwall's recap.
We are also reminded, as we saw back in the German festival from Season Two’s “Helen,” that Earn and Van come from different backgrounds and have different views of the world. She did a stint in Girl Scouts, and feels like it’s an appropriate rite of passage to send Lottie out on a snipe hunt after dark, where Earn finds the whole thing weird and uncomfortable. But the joke backfires when Lottie actually catches something, even if the animal ultimately crawls away without harming anyone.
Perhaps a snake, or perhaps some kind of mythical creature; it’s hard to tell in the dark, and with this show, it could be almost anything. The meat of the episode, though, takes place in that oversized, lopsided tent. Van has been suspicious of Earn all day, assuming he has been putting on a big show of fatherhood to convince her to follow him across the country. And as he presses her on the subject while Lottie sleeps next to them, she accuses him of wanting them along so he won’t feel lonely in a new city. And it’s here that the conversation — and the way thatplays this character — makes a significant turn.
But Van is not the world. She is the mother of his child. And more importantly in this moment, she is the woman that he loves, the woman he repeatedly screwed things up with, and the woman with whom he wants to make it right before it is too late. This is Earn putting himself out there, and Glover does very well for himself in this pleading, romantic mode.
Lottie has spent much of the trip in a bad mood. She laughs at times at Earn’s jokes, and she gets excited about the snipe hunt. But overall, she is in a funk that neither parent can quite pull her out of. But as the trio drives away from the campsite — having abandoned the stupid tent as a thunderstorm begins — her mood shifts. They are back in the car, Sade again playing on the radio, but now they are a family, real in a way they have never really been before.
