The Rehearsal closes shop, for now, with a cathartic season finale
Nathan’s instinct is understandable. Who among us doesn’t spend his days re-litigating old conversations, reimagining the things you could’ve and should’ve said…turning over your every interaction to come up with a more perfect way of having lived your life. Only that’s where Nathan begins.
As a way to understand what happened and to forgive himself, Nathan decides the best way to do so is to see himself from the outside. It’s why he opts to play-act as Remy’s mom—only to, as the final beats of the episode suggest, find himself wanting to break that illusion apart altogether. He breaks the rhythm of the scene by announcing he’s the kid’s dad. He shatters the illusion yet again.Is it a breakthrough or a breakdown? Nathan’s delivery allows us to see it as either. And both.
My head hurt by the end of the episode, which is, arguably, a testament to Nathan Fielder’s entire project. I’ll be thinking about it for longer than I’d like to admit, as if it were a puzzle I was called to solve rather than a television show I should have simply enjoyed watching. I am curious what he’ll do for a second season, though I do worry for our own sanity—and the discourse it’ll no doubt engender.
“I don’t want you to be Nathan!” offered us yet another unwittingly revealing sound bite of the season. Remy may have delivered it in the midst of a temper tantrum but considering Nathan then decides to play act as Remy’s mom , you wonder how much to heart he took it after all. Although, I take it back. Perhaps the most revealing line in the entire episode came courtesy of “Adam ” who, when Nathan breaks character and addresses him as an actor, asking the kid whether Nathan makes for a good dad offers the greatest unintentional read of the show: “I mean. You’re a great scene partner.
