We've been waiting for the fallout from the brief hints we've gotten that allude to Tiffany having postpartum depression, and the finale comes through. Issa and Molly are called in by Derek and Kelli to search for the new mom when she pulls a disappearing act after a night out alone. "I knew she wasn't happy, but I thought maybe time would help. I just didn't think it would get this bad. I can't believe I let this happen," Derek tells the women as they hunt her down using an Uber receipt, security camera, and Issa's intuition. They finally track her down at a nearby Sheraton, where the new parents are reunited.
I wish this story had been properly fleshed out to make this moment feel more significant, but what we did get made me feel bad for Tiffany. Pregnancy is hard enough for Black mothers, and we rarely get to see what postpartum looks like from their point of view. Hopefully, season five spends a little more time exploring Tiffany's journey through motherhood as she deals with her struggles.
