This episode is the one that did it for me -- brought out my box of tissues. I bawled like a baby, like I personally lost someone dear, because I felt like I did. I've known Alice longer than all of her grandchildren. Every time they zeroed in on that picture of Alice at the gravesite, I lost it. This was just a perfect episode. The right people spoke at the service. When Lucas called Alice "royalty" I was shaking my head yes. Yes, perfect description. The montage was wonderful. The whole thing felt so real and I identified with each of the mourners.
Thank you writers, producers, and actors. Phenomenal job.
