Ripple Episode 6 Review: The White Coat
Ripple Episode 6, “The White Coat,” is a quieter chapter on paper, but emotionally it does some of the heaviest lifting of the season so far. In this episode, the story leans into grief, trust, and the complicated choices that come with letting go – not just of people, but of certainty. We’re breaking down how each storyline circles the same question: where do you put your faith when life keeps taking things away? From Walter’s deeply moving arc to the growing tension between Kris, Nate, and Aria, this episode left us reflective, hopeful, and ready to talk about community, boundaries, and what it really means to show up for one another.
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.
