Episode Trailer Breakdown: Call Me By His Name

Here’s a breakdown of the trailer and synopsis for Season 8, Episode 17: “Call Me By His Name” and my thoughts on what’s happening:

The trailer reveals some major drama, especially between Gary and Andy, and hints at some intense twists in the upcoming episode. Gary fights with Hudson to be released from his restraints, and there’s a moment where Hudson warns Gary to forget about Andrea, calling her poison. This had me wondering if Hudson might have feelings for Gary, but it seems more like a power dynamic. Perhaps Hudson’s jealousy over Gary’s loyalty to Andrea is what’s fueling the conflict. Is there a romantic spark, or is it all about strategy? That remains to be seen.

On the other side of things, Andy is meeting with Jordan to settle their issues. She’s been supportive this season, but it’s becoming clear that her patience with Jordan is wearing thin. He’s been nothing but trouble, especially with his campaign and political career in shambles due to his connection to the attempted murder investigation. I can’t understand why Andy would entertain a reunion with him. If anything, their relationship seems destined for destruction.

There’s a lot happening between Robin, Jordan, and Andy too. Robin’s still working his way into Andy’s life, trying to make up for past mistakes, but Andy’s heart seems to belong elsewhere. Robin’s side of the story with Penelope added some tension, too. Penelope’s perspective is interesting; she sees how Andy still cares for Robin, even if she’s been distant.

Then there’s the drama with Danni at the airport, where her confrontation with Leonard ends in her losing her job. This could lead to a wrongful termination lawsuit, possibly with Andy stepping in to represent Danni. It feels like there’s a lot at stake for Danni, and it could add another layer of legal drama to the show.

Lastly, the situation with Karen is heating up. Miss Lisa finally gets some solid screen time, confronting Karen about her actions. It’s been a while since we’ve seen Lisa take such a strong stance, and it’s clear she’s ready to hold Karen accountable. Let’s see if Lisa sticks around and continues to push Karen to do better.

Overall, the episode looks packed with drama, from Gary and Hudson’s conflict to the ongoing battles in the love triangle with Andy, Jordan, and Robin, plus Danni’s troubles at the airport. It’s shaping up to be an explosive episode, and I’m excited to see how these storylines unfold.
