I was having a conversation where the person was telling me about this really difficult person in their life and she said, “he’s an asshole, but he’s Our Asshole,” and that is how I feel particularly about Richie. Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s performance of that character has just been so brilliant and giving him a whole hour to bounce off the even more emotionally unstable Mikey (as opposed to Carmy, who shuts down emotionally) gave us another color of this character. I do think I need to watch the episode again but yeah, more of this and less of Carmy’s culinary masturbation please.
I really love Richie. I love seeing him grow. Seeing him pulled in and down by Mikey's struggles was really hard in this episode, but also makes the payoff you know is coming for him later in life that much sweeter, too.

Plus he does really love his kid
He really really does. I was going to be SO mad if that episode ended with him missing the birth.
