Minority Mindset

Jackie never lost her calm, graceful voice, even when correcting her son. She often reminded him, “No one understands what it’s like to marry into this family.” She believed no amount of experience could truly prepare a woman for life as a Kennedy’s wife. Marriage to John wasn’t a partnership, but a sacrifice: a woman had to dedicate her life to supporting him, and the ideal wife would not only accept that, but embrace it. Above all, she had to love him despite his flaws. It was a huge ask. In fact, Jackie felt that, given these expectations, the perfect woman for John – affectionately known as John-John – might not even exist. And she was deeply disappointed that she couldn’t somehow be reborn to fulfill that role herself.

Tyra Banks has been considering bringing back Top Model since at least 2020, though a new season hasn’t been officially confirmed. She’s said that it’s the question she’s asked most often – people want to know what happened to the show she created. Banks told Haute Living in 2020 that they were exploring ways to make it work, and she’s expressed similar thoughts in other interviews. America’s Next Top Model originally aired from 2003 to 2018, lasting 24 seasons. The new docuseries about the show might reignite interest in a revival, or it could serve as a reminder that revisiting that time period isn’t necessary.

The situation at Westbridge is still unclear, with no resolution yet for Ahmad’s board, but things are definitely getting more intense. Patient numbers at PTMC are continuing to rise rapidly. Robby, Dana, and Dr. Al are struggling to manage the overwhelming influx of patients in the emergency room, and all the surgeons are currently occupied. The waiting room was already extremely crowded early this morning, so it’s likely even worse now. The hospital is reaching its breaking point. Beyond that, several other emotionally charged situations are on the verge of escalating. I’m particularly watching Robby and Langdon, as Robby is avoiding his former protégé, but they’re stuck working closely together for a long shift, and Langdon seems determined to reconcile. The ongoing tension between Robby and Dr. Al-Hashimi is also a concern. Plus, Santos is already struggling to handle multiple tasks and is frustrating her supervisors with her difficulties, which could lead to further problems. And to top it all off, it’s incredibly hot outside, making an already difficult situation even worse. When I’m already miserable from the heat, dealing with illness is unbearable. Everything is building up inside PTMC, and the system can’t sustain this level of stress.

Before the results are announced at breakfast—where Mark shows up looking like he stepped out of Peaky Blinders—everyone discusses who they think the Traitor is. Suspicion is quickly falling on Johnny, especially since Candiace strongly encouraged him to receive a shield last week. If Johnny is the Traitor, the question is who he brought in as his accomplice, and Tara immediately becomes the prime suspect by quickly defending him when she joins the group. Johnny, meanwhile, seems to realize he’s in trouble, and his energy and even his hair seem to have lost their spark.

The movie Goat doesn’t have any extra scenes after the credits or during the middle of the film. However, there’s a short audio clip at the end that doesn’t relate to the story, but offers a positive message.
