This episode is no longer a one-man show that takes place in a small space, and Patrick finally walks out of the room for a banquet that doesn't really take place in human society. The situation finally improved a little, and as the scene shifted from the depressing mansion and the small bathroom to the crowd, the heavy heart began to relax.

This is not just Patrick's road to change, Johnny, Bridget, Chilly Willy are all changing themselves.

patrick confided his hidden secrets to johnny. At first he was angry and disdainful, and he looked down on the small groups his friends were in because he found the idea that speaking out loud would solve problems. In his heart, his own pain is far more than others, so he mocked the girl who only smoked cocaine with disdain. He dared not say those things because he was afraid of being laughed at by his friends. Ironically, he found himself and him The cowardly group of people had the same experience. Later, at the banquet, he saw the arrogant and domineering attitude of the princess, empathized with what happened to the little girl, bumped into Bridget's anger at her husband's cheating, and heard other bridget's mean remarks, and he finally chose to face the past.

I'm glad that I, like Patrick, have already faced my own past. After the college entrance examination, I talked with my best friend for more than two hours in a small shop, and put the problem that has plagued me for six or seven years. Told her the secret that haunted me when I was alone and broke me down. I remember that I used a joking tone with sore eyes, and she didn't laugh at me, she comforted me with an apologetic tone. I was going to let it all rot in my heart and take it to the grave, but I was sure I had found someone to talk to.

bridget is the character that resonates with me the most in this episode, her attitude towards mother reminds me of moments in my life, I've been rude to my dearest people, and I've been full of low self-esteem about my past . Her mother tolerated her, met her unreasonable demands, forgave her mistakes, and finally chose to go with her. I watched all the scenes with tears in my eyes. It's so hard to be a decent woman, to take care of all the housework, to please all the guests, and to hide your weaknesses carefully, bridget is my favorite character in the third episode.

The banquet is over, and an era is over. Those class ideas, those glamorous sins will dissipate, and there is a glimmer of hope.
