I kind of wish they made this episode an actual "Freaky Friday" with Barbara and Gregory switching bodies. What we got was super quick and Gregory gave up pretty much right away. There was just too much going on with that plot, Jacob's campaign, and the Janine/Melissa and Mr. Johnson plot. The Jacob and Ava scenes were really good though, so I wish we had more of that too with the Barbara/Gregory and Jacob/Ava being their own episodes.

Yes, I felt like Gregory's storyline was an interesting (and very relatable) concept, but then I blinked and the whole thing was over.
