The episode’s climactic dialogue is masterful. Trapped in the dark, Damon admits he signed up for the blind date because he “forgot how to talk to people who aren’t dying.” Cubbi responds by playing him a recording from her archive: the sound of a thunderstorm from 2012. She says, “This is my therapist.” They don’t kiss. They don’t hold hands. They just listen to the rain.
