Six months later, in Sitcom World, the show is leaning into its modernist critique of the shlubby guy–hot wife sitcom. She’s alive, working at a consignment store, and living a generally quiet life save for the red Jeep that seems to be trailing her at every opportunity. Six months after Allison faked her death and left Worcester, she’s in Keene, New Hampshire, her hair a rich brunette, crawling through James Joyce’s Ulysses at a café. What was Kevin Can F**k Himself? A meta-theatrical dissection of the narcissism of the sitcom husband? A strong metaphor about what it’s like to be a victim of emotional abuse by the kind of narcissistic nightmare guy that has his own orbit of worshippers who never believe it’s happening? A love story about falling for your neighbor? A love story about finding yourself outside the confines of a relationship?
