Insecure S5, Ep 7 Review by itsrox

[@melodicsoundz]

Lawrence was actually calling Issa back because she did call him. Molly told her to hang up, but I hope they do end up talking and telling each other how they really feel.

[@Angelamar819]

Exactly or what was the point of the show

[@blessedgrateful3669]

Nah, Lawrence called Issa BACK. She called him the night before. Molly got her to hang up.

[@shawna5417]

I’m not fan of Issa being with Nathan. I know that her and Lawrence being together would come with its own set of issues, but the romantic in me just believes it’s worth the fight. 🥺 And when Nathan told Issa he loved her, I felt like she didn’t really react like she was all that happy about it. She is definitely settling for the 2nd choice.

[@krissy-jw8kj]

Exactly

[@IAmJustR]

im glad its not just me. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@COURTNEYVCK]

You sure didn’t look happy lol she had her stunned face on, no cheesing or anything.

[@delle3955]

I feel the same!

[@Angelamar819]

His corny excuse for not saying it

[@Pagesandperfumes]

It's funny because the way many talk and feel about Condola is exactly the same sentiments many had for janea on the game

[@tivey719]

Yes! I still don’t like Janae all these years later even after the cast completely dissolving. Lol

[@Pagesandperfumes]

@@tivey719 it funny because janae never did anything to be disliked fans just really wanted mel and derwin together

[@tivey719]

@@Pagesandperfumes yes she didn’t fit into the vision for the show. As much as Mel and Derwin moved forth and got married they never went back to that sweet love from the beginning. Sometimes the fans really do just desire a simple, mess-free happily ever after! 😩 Unfortunately, that ship has passed with Issa and Lawrence too! 😢

[@rogers5622]

Right . They expected us to like both of them - no thanks 😂

[@justjimeka5047]

I was not moved by Nathan saying I love you. It was forced just like the writers forcing Nathan on us! Who asked for all these episodes to be Nathan centered?! They have wasted valuable time and storylines giving us Nathan’s backstory that no one cares about! Ugh! Oh and Nathan and Issa are giving Juan and Robyn Dixon from RHOP. She’s not his soulmate.

[@Talkthattawk]

Yessss like nathan isnt even an interesting character

[@justjimeka5047]

@@Talkthattawk at all!! Hopefully these last 3 episodes will make up for the underwhelming season.

[@nikkib4054]

I actually don't think that Lawrence and Condola were opening up to be together. I felt like they were acknowledging that they could be co parents and move on. We shall see. I like Nathan but I don't like him for Issa.....he's too up and down and inconsistent in his behavior.

[@ladymack1799]

Same thing I said!!

[@Thinkerbella101]

When Nathan said to Issa, "I always have" I thought about the episode from S3 following Beychella- they were in bed and Nathan asked her how do they know if it's real. I believe that is when he fell in love with her.🥰

[@wahoo4uva]

I liked that scene. I like this theory. ☺️

[@TisHotMessHistory]

I feel like someone is going to die this season. Too many death references and foreshadowing.

[@IAmJustR]

right! 🥺

[@mcdeazy10]

I agree every episode they mention death. This episode it was more subtle.

[@mj5885]

I’m not gonna lie, I wasn’t feeling Nathan. Now, I’m here for it. When he said “I love you”, I just melted 😫 at least he is trying to get better at communicating. I hope Issa doesn’t leave him for Lawrence. She might lose them both & just end up being single tbh.

[@Three_Diamonds]

I screamed when Dro was calling Molly. Thank goodness it was just for the episode. I kind of wanted Issa to pick up when Lawrence was calling her back, but... that may not be a good idea. Backsliding & all. I thought him & Confetti were going to have sex.

[@Perfect_Peace3]

We’re moving to Denver… Like the omelette? 🤣🤣

[@ciarajca25]

I wonder if the pandemic affected the filming because the idea of them staying in one location the entire episode kind of turned me off. First the spa is cancelled, then dinner is cancelled. I feel like the acting hasn’t been the best this season either, because I wasn’t moved by Condola, Lawrence, Nathan or even Tiffany breaking down about moving. (Or Issa crying in Nathan’s mouth). I feel like with other shows I would cry too. But this just didn’t do it for me. Yvonne’s acting as Molly has really impressed me this season, i really felt those tears of joy when her Mom woke up and I shed a tear too.

[@wahoo4uva]

In real life, we don’t always end up with our “soulmate.” I’d rather Issa end up single at the end of the season/series than her get back together with Lawrence. That’s my second preference. My first preference is that she end up with Nathan. When Lawrence called her back, I said, “GOT. DAMMIT. NO!”

[@kenyafromcali]

I don’t wish this life on anyone! It’s hard out here! Lol, I want her to find a special love with Lawrence. I love life, and I find joy every day, but love and marriage are necessary and beautiful.

[@richegeorge5286]

I agree 1000%

[@stephaniec2219]

I don’t think Issa is in love with Nathan but I do believe Nathan is in love with Issa. After rewatching season 1-5, Issa does not like being alone. She needs a man’s attention; she need to feel wanted thus why she cheated on Lawrence. Daniel was the first rebound for Lawrence and Now Nathan is a rebound for Lawrence. She need to get full closure before she break Nathan’s heart.

[@osheafrancis6572]

Lawrence & Issa are definitely soulmates. When Condola started to open up about considering an abortion, I thought she was going to say she slept with someone else. Since the show is based on Issa’s real life, I don’t think Lawrence & her will end up together though.

[@Kodak718]

That first part: I was so ready in that moment for her to say the baby isn't his 😂

[@nitrajohnson3030]

I thought she was going to say the baby wasn’t his too lol

[@MCSquared7776]

I guess I’m the only one who thought she was gnna pass out she looked weak 😂

[@nadiaalbury8344]

Nathan ain't her soulmate...she knew that he was a sure rebound cause he always had feelings for her. I see them trying to give Lawrence a path to Condola bonding over the baby...smt. This season although okay, isn't giving me all that I needed for it to be ending. Which I guess is smart in a way, Issa those made it semi-blah so we can be like okay it's done, and not looking forward to more, because right now it's just blah, and I watch because I have to finish it out lol....your reviews are giving more than the show.

[@shaleesal.2060]

I was literally hoping you would post! I think Issa and Lawrence will get back together. Nathan may get his heart broken. I didn't sense a chemistry between Lawrence and Condola. I think there's just a mutual level of respect now.

[@Chicsummer2]

Judging by what Issa said. Her changing the finale. 2 weeks before they shot it. I think her and Lawrence are going to end up together as well or it’s going to leave off with her showing up at his door. Or a time jump of them being together in the future.

It's looking like we're not going to get the Ross/Rachel moment with Lawrence/Issa. I was so irritated that he offered to fix Coochie Cutters' book shelf. They're starting to give each other that look that's telling me they might end up together and I hate it. I still don't want Nathan for Issa.

[@MCSquared7776]

Bruhhhh not coochie cutters 😂😂😂😂😂

[@bk4eva_876]

I felt like Condola put the nail in the coffin for their relationship when she said “I hope the best for you too”, I think Lawrence felt it too. I know it probably wouldn’t happen in real life but I really hope they get back together before the end. 🤞🏾Bye Nathan. It’s always feels like we’re waiting for the other shoe to drop with Nathan. Like we’re waiting for him to hurt or leave her, I don’t like that.

[@nikkib4054]

Omg I just said basically the same thing. I completely agree. Nathan is too flighty and I think that Lawrence was definitely calling to see what's up. If Issa is smart (for once) she will give it a shot. Hell she's the one who called it off without trying.

[@diatammy]

I hope Issa will contact Lawrence. She really can’t cast Lawrence aside because of the baby. Many guys are single parents now. It’s not like Lawrence confessed any love for Condola. Nathan is too quick to run. I hope Issa sees the truth about Nathan soon. She & Lawrence are meant to be together.

[@staceylynn3109]

I still have not given up on Lawrence and Issa. There is still a possibility they can end up together. I think they are one another's soul mates and just can't see them settling for people they aren't in LOVE love with

[@diatammy]

True. Condola & Lawrence don’t have a bond because Condola is so dismissive. She didn’t laugh at his jokes and she seemed preoccupied when Lawrence was talking. Not good. Nathan didn’t sound convincing that he cares for Issa & Issa didn’t look convinced either. We shall see.

[@Fa__timaaaa]

We are running out of episodes. I hope there is a time jump and Issa and Lawrence end up together finally!! I don’t see it happening otherwise.

This episode was hilarious! From Keli, to the clapbacks, and the call-outs. One thing I will always love and miss about Insecure is that they are able to balance comedy and drama. Lawrence and Condola seem like endgame to me. Issa might need to stay single until she gets her mind right.

So…am I the only one who thought that Lawrence and Condola were going to have sex? I just knew that they were going to cut to a quick sex scene after those two were talking 🤣. Ironically enough, I liked Condola in this episode. I don’t think that her and Lawrence are soulmates but I believe that he’s going to settle with her. I’ve ALWAYS loved Nathan but Issa will probably be single in the end. I wonder how things would have played out between the two of them if he never ghosted her? That’s really the only reason why Issa and Lawrence were able to rekindle things because Issa was sprung off of Nathan for a little bit.

[@vonnc04]

@Rox… “Happy Tuesday!” Just wanted to point something out. Issa actually did call 📱 Lawrence. She LITERALLY did so. The 📞 rang twice before Molly took the ☎️ from Issa’s hand & disconnected the call. She asked Molly “what was she doing?” And Issa responded… “calling Lawrence.” That’s why Lawrence called 📱 her the next morning when the girls left; noticed the missed call & simply called her back, but of course she didn’t answer allowing the call to rollover to voicemail. 👍🏼 That’s all!

[@MusicLova84]

Do ya'll notice that the actress that plays Condola was really pregnant during the filming of these episodes? Wait, she may have just had her baby at the time of filming. One or the other, lol. As far as Nathan I'm still not feeling the love. I think he felt pressured to say he loves Issa. She shouldn't have ever let it slip out her mouth, shoot hold that shit in! lol. Okay that may be a toxic way of thinking, but if you don't want to pick your feelings up off the floor you might wanna hold that info close until you're sure he feels the same...

[@MrsAries]

Yeah, Issa said she was post partum while filming those scenes. You can still see it all in her face 🙂

[@SincerelyTyTaylor]

Nathan has been in love with Issa the entire time. Issa is gon hurt that baby. I don't think the relationship with Lawrence is gonna happen because once a baby is here the feelings between new parents often change. My partner isn't my first choice. I can say that wholeheartedly. After the relationship didn't work out as years went by I end up with someone else but by God if I would have married anyone I would have married his ass.

[@closetwhisperer7029]

I went back & binged Insecure starting from season 1 & Issa has been getting the inconsistent speech from the guys she dates this entire time. Daniel gave her the same “you’re all over the place” speech in season 3 that mirrored what Nathan said to her this season. I thought that was interesting. Issa has grown professionally throughout the show but her love life has had the same patterns of behavior. She told Molly she needed to go to therapy but she hasn’t & she sure could use it. Lol I’m sad this show is gna be over.

[@SimeonToko]

Lawrence is just being kind and considerate to the mother of his child. The love of his life and happiness is with Issa. Let's see if life sucks on this show too and they don't get back together. That playing family stuff with no romantic love is for the birds.

[@SweetCocoa214]

Lawrence was having a hard time finding a job. I think for what 2 years he was out of Wk was it? and now she turns around and dates Nate who quits wkg at the barbershop for no good reason. At least not good enough to be with no

[@CosmicAirhead]

Something tells me that Taurean isn't into Molly. I think he's trying to be there for her considering all that she has going on. My prediction is that he'll get her text message and it may get her fired from her job. Yvonne did say, in an interview, that she doesn't like how things end for her. I also think that Issa needs someone more stable and mature than Nathan. They both are unstable. She needs a man that can kinda guide her in some way. They are both unsure of what they want and it seems that the relationship is a bit forced. I do think Lawrence and Condola might end up together.

If you can’t love the one you want, love the one you with. But I’m trying to figure out, how does Issa & Nathan love ea other like that like that. Since they’ve known ea other (which hasn’t been long), it’s been off & on, mostly off. If I were Issa, I’d definitely choose Lawrence. Who wants to live with, what if? Condola seems very mature and really unproblematic & she already knows Lawrence & Issa’s history, so I don’t think she’d cause much, if any, problem🤷🏽‍♀️

[@behindtheace]

In theory, I want Issa and Lawrence together, but just because of the history but I also feel like Lawrence’s recklessness ruined the possibility. And that’s a consequence he should have to live with - he called her back because he knows there’s something undone. I don’t think Issa and Nathan would make it long term; they both have self work to do and he’s essentially a rebound. She just needs to be single if she’s not gonna go back to Lawrence. And step mom life would come with an entirely different set of issues that I don’t think is fair to her.

Besides I don't believe Issa really wants him she just has a need for a relationship and he is the second best. Lawrence on the other hand is the man she wants but the man she does not need. At the end of the day he messed up and got condola pregnant and his child will always come first over anything and anybody. Im not sure if Issa would be able to handle being second to his love child. Let's not forget that condola and Issa was friends and worked together so that would be a major awkward situation. She needs to move on and just be single.
