'Shrinking': After Lukita Maxwell’s Alice Forgave Brett Goldstein’s Louis, I’m Thinking About What The Actress Told Me About Why Her Character Did It

Spoilers are ahead for "Shrinking" Season 2, Episode 6! If you aren’t caught up, you can stream the comedy with an Apple TV+ subscription.

When the sixth episode of "Shrinking" dropped on the 2024 TV schedule, I wasn’t expecting Alice to make the move she did. After Jimmy told her about the drunk driver contacting him and her confrontation with him in the coffeehouse, I didn’t think she’d forgive Brett Goldstein’s Louis. However, she did, and Lukita Maxwell told me why her character decided to do that.

As I mentioned, in Episode 6, Alice takes a massive step forward. After finding out that Brian had been in contact with Louis – the driver who killed her mom – she demanded that they go see him. Then, after chatting with Brett Goldstein’s new "Shrinking" character and telling a story about her mom, Alice concluded that she wanted to forgive the driver.
