We still have a few moreShrinkingsessions before the year ends, and nowApple TV+has teamed up with Collider to reveal an exclusive sneak peek from Episode 9, titled “Full Grown Dude Face.” The episode centers around Jimmy (Jason Segel) trying to stay out of his daughter’s business while also giving advice to his peers. The new episode debuts this Wednesday, December 4, and Apple TV+ will roll out new episodesthrough Christmas.
In our sneak peek, Jimmy is having a blunt conversation withAlice (Lukita Maxwell), who is tired of having people feeling sorry for her. He calls back to Season 1, when he mentioned he had “dead-wife face.” Now, however, Jimmy reveals to Alice that it was a coping mechanism that not only helped people around himfeel a little more comfortablewith his tragedy but also gave him a sense of control over how he felt and that he could joke about it.Like many momentsinShrinking, the advice rings true, and he seems to have gotten through to Alice.
Even though Season 2 ofShrinkingis nearing its end, there’s stilla lot to be unpacked. Jimmy is still dealing with the fact thatAlice and his best friend Brianwere hanging out with Louis (Brett Goldstein) — the man whose reckless behavior in traffic caused Jimmy’s wife’s death. The new episode will also be a return-to-form of sorts for the comedy/drama series since last week weveered into slightly different territorywith flashbacks revealing more of Jimmy’s life when his wife was still living.
‘Shrinking’ Wants To Know What True Forgiveness Looks Like
In Episode 8,Shrinkingshowed that after going through several stages of anger, Jimmy had decided to forgive Louis for causing the accident that led to Tia’s (Lilan Bowden) death. However, the condition he posed for forgiveness suggests that there’sstill a lot going oninside his brain. He asked Louis to disappear, and any psychiatrist would tell you that this isn’t really the kind of thing you say when you truly forgive someone. So chances are thatthis arc is far from over.
The series itself is also far from over.Shrinkingis alreadyrenewed for Season 3, meaning that it’s possible that the current season will leave some threads to be resolved in 2025. As Collider revealed, thenew episodes start filming soon, so from the looks of it, there won’t be a huge gap to keep fans waiting. The main cast is all slated to return, includingHarrison Ford(Star WarsandIndiana Jonessagas),Jessica Williams(Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore),Luke Tennie(CSI: Vegas),Michael Urie(Ugly Betty),Christa Miller(Scrubs) andTed McGinley(The Baxters).
