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.

00:00Well, in episode six, when she decides to forgive him,
00:02she tells this lovely story about her mom in Disneyland.
00:05I was so deeply moved watching that scene.
00:08I was wondering if you could talk to me a bit about why.
00:10What kind of led Alice to in that moment decide to forgive Lewis?
00:16That conversation with him.
00:17I mean, she says it in at the end of it.
00:20It's something that her mom would have done.
00:22I think that she's a young woman trying to figure out who she is in this world
00:26and who she is on the other side of this great grief
00:29that has affected her life at this point and will forever.
00:33And she wants to be that kind of person
00:38that would forgive somebody and is able to,
00:42you know, move through life with compassion and understanding.
