Ripple Episode 2 Review: Drip, Drip, Drip
If episode one invited us in, episode two is where the show quietly locks the door behind us. “Drip, Drip, Drip” slows the pace just enough to let the emotional weight settle. John confides in Kris, Aria spends time with her mother, Walter struggles with technology in a way that feels more symbolic than silly, and Nate leans on Claire for support that feels tender. Nothing explodes in this episode, but everything subtly shifts. It’s the kind of hour that makes you lean forward on the couch, aware that whatever brought these people together is still seeping beneath the surface – and it’s only a matter of time before it floods. Let’s dig into our recap of Ripple episode 2.
All eight episodes of the new series Ripple are now streaming on Netflix. Add Girls Gone Hallmark to your podcast feed to catch our episode-by-episode reviews dropping every Wednesday.
