I love how straight forward Sophia is about not wanting to have kids. It makes complete sense given her feelings about her childhood and how she was raised. And it’s nicely juxtaposed with Angie giving birth.

“You’ll be the standard.”

*swoooooooon*

I really like how Sophia differentiates between grieving the loss of a role (i.e. her dad) vs. the loss of the person (someone whom she wasn't close with.) That's an important distinction in grief, particularly with complicated relationships.

"Comparison implied a feeling of inferiority. But she was who she was; there was nothing inferior about her."

There's already magnificent tension!!! I'm into it.
