the righteous gemstones | season 3, episode 9 "wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted"

[gloomsday]

this scene has been rolling around in my brain. like, yeah, it's basic scatological/gross-out humor that's pretty endemic to mcbride's properties. of course we're watching kelvin struggle to take a shit in front of his siblings, and of course jesse and judy are making fun of him in true gemstone sibling fashion.

but if you think about it, this scene encapsulates the entirety of kelvin's arc for the season. his inability to stand up for keefe, to take responsibility for smut busters, to tell keefe how he really feels… he has been holding himself back this whole time out of fear. it's only after he's faced with the threat of death that he is actually able to take care of business.

literally and figuratively shit or get off the pot, kelvin.

and he did. right in front of them.
