It gets better in episode 10. The focus switches to the first leads, exploring Jessica's relationship with Frankie and her father.
SPOILER!
I really like the last scene where Jessica attempts to seduce Frankie. The cinematography, music, outfits, their acting and chemistry were great! It's the first time that we got to see a romantic scene between the older Molly and Gordon after multiple snapshots of them as a young couple over the last few episodes. And it's also one of the few scenes where Jessica gets to get out of her "strict office look" and look attractive.
Looking forward to episode 11 as episode 10 ended with a great cliffhanger!
