Class, money, the table

Money is the thing nobody wants to talk about honestly, and tonight's writers refuse to be polite about it. Hughes puts a tenant and a landlord in a room and lets class warfare play out in a dozen lines. Wallace goes to a lobster festival and discovers that food, pleasure, and economic history are harder to separate than anyone at the fair wants to admit. Fitzgerald sends a man back to Paris after the Crash to negotiate how much of his old life he can buy back. Watch who's spending and who's being spent.
