Welcome Back to Cloud 9: Superstore "Essential" Season Premiere

 


The season premiere of Superstore brought us much need laughs but also left us with a cliffhanging moment. Here's a recap!

The season premiere picks up where we left off with a short recap of Amy informing the staff that she and Jonah will be leaving for California for her new position. But here comes the COVID-19 and all things don't go anyone's way, even Marcus, who decided to go to a spring break party and caught the COVID. 

The episode shows off serious moments like when the staff learned about George Floyd's murder. While Amy tries to handle both managing the store and being on zoom calls with corporate that's pretty much taking a lot out of her. 

But after a crazy day, Sandra and Cheyenne's idea to store extra stuff for them in the ceiling didn't go so well as it became too heavy and collapse. Later on, Jonah learns that Amy will be going to California but he corrected her saying that they are going to California. That moment ends with Jonah hugging Amy, she gives a worried look. 

"Essential" was a very good and funny episode. The episode was so well written that had really good moments in the chronicle order as we catch up. 

While I loved the whole Glenn getting deep washed from Dina but it was mostly Sandra and Cheyenne that stole most of the episode with their crazy idea of storing items from the customers. And that Tom Hanks scene was another treat in this episode, the second time goes so well (with This Is Us). 

The 100th episode will be a special one no doubt about it. I think it will be a tearjerker, to say the least, but an episode that probably would throw some flashback moments, wouldn't you say? The tear-jerking moment will be Amy saying goodbye and leaving Jonah and the Cloud 9 family. 

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch the 100th and Amy's final episode of Superstore Thursdays at 8/7c on NBC.
