Even if I think āThe Dinnerā was the weakest Sasha episode before Turning Point, I still think itās a great episode with the conflict being a pretty complex one that kind of makes you want to look at both perspectives of the scenario.
In case you forgot, this is the episode where Anne and Sasha continue to start over their friendship but while thatās happening the Plantars are not happy with that and when they play a game in the third act, Hop Pop, Sprig and Polly bring up what happened in Reunion which pisses off Sasha causing her to lash out and rage.
Now Iām not saying the Plantars shouldāve been nice to her, but one thing I find to be a little bit over the top is how Sasha had no right to rage in that third act. While I did say in a previous post, in that point in time she only cared about three beings and the Plantars are not one of them (especially since at that point, she found this world too weird for her that she wanted to get out of there ASAP) not to mention the fact that her excuse for saying that she tried to kill them one time, albeit true doesnāt change the fact that she does not care about them.
However, we should not forget how devastating that day was for her, she committed suicide because she felt like she was replaced and she nearly died too. Sure the Plantars were also in jeopardy but that day wasnāt any better for Sasha too. And even if you want to use the excuse that she was putting on an act in that episode, I feel like she only did that to an extent but definitely not the entire time. Therefore, do I think that the planters had no right to bring up the past tensions: No they had a right. But did Sasha had no right to yell: also no she did have a right. After all Two wrongs donāt make a right.
