The Girl From Plainville (1×04) Can’t Fight This Feeling Review

For our review of the three episode premiere of The Girl From Plainville, click here.

Nothing much happens in the latest episode of The Girl From Plainville, slowing down as it continues to approach the story on multiple fronts as Coco attempts to move on from his first suicide attempt while a case against Michelle is in its early stages in the present.

As far as Coco was concerned, he needed help but his parents were divided on the best course of action as he was set to be committed with therapy recommended upon the end of his treatment. Michelle’s obsessive personality started long before she met Coco. If her delusions seemed ridiculous last week, this episode took things to another level with she and Coco performing a disturbing duet of Can’t Fight This Feeling. Either way, she tried to be there for Coco, who was feeling down. Michelle was in love which only complicated her relationship with her friend Susie. However, she would have had that situation sorted out for her as a result of Susie’s parents who had enough of their relationship. Now with Coco’s new truck, he and Michelle’s futures were set in their own minds during what was both cute and sad, knowing what would come of it.

Meanwhile in the present, county prosecutor Katie Rayburn (Aya Cash) works to build her case by doing some background work in order to establish Coco’s mental state and avoid any surprises. An indictment was easy but Rayburn needed to prove motive. Michelle’s parents, on the other hand, got her a lawyer of her own who was taking things very seriously and recommended her stay away from social media or anyone involved with the case which would be easier said than done. In the end, she felt trapped as a passenger while major decisions were being made about her life. On the other hand, the Roys were trying to move on with their lives as the remaining truck was arguably a manifestation of their grief,

It’s a shame that Coco and Michelle’s dreams, be it theirs or just hers, were never going to be realized as she turns herself in to the police.

At the end of the day, if anything, Elle Fanning and Colton Ryan can definitely sing.
