<p id=”par-6_54″>Meanwhile, Brian finally spills the details on what’s going on with him and Louis, played by <em>Shrinking</em> co-creator Brett Goldstein. Or as he tells Alice, “the young man who ran over your mom.” In a <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/shrinking-star-christa-millers-husband-called-being-too-thirsty-scenes-harrison-ford.html/”>monologue that impressed the <em>Shrinking</em> cast</a>, he recapped what happened after he saw Louis outside Jimmy and Alice’s house. </p>
<p id=”par-7_28″>“He came here, and I was like, ‘Get away from this family. Scram!’ And he was like, ‘Sorry,’ but he seemed wounded,” Brian said, calling Louis’s life “bleak.” </p>
<p id=”par-8_41″>“He has no friends, no one to talk to, he’s suffering,” he explained to Alice. “So I took a walk with him and we talked because I knew I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t at least try to help.” </p>
<p id=”par-9_53″>Upon learning Brian’s been “palling around” with Louis, Alice demands he take her to see Louis. With Brian by her side she proceeds to tell Louis the heartbreaking contents of the letter she wrote him. But it isn’t all tears. They reminisce about fond memories of Tia, which brings some smiles and laughter. </p>

<p id=”par-10_52″>Viewers see a different side to Liz (Christa Miller) in the Nov. 13 episode of <em>Shrinking</em>. Instead of the confident, nosy yet lovable neighbor, she’s feeling “a bit off.” The house she and Derek (Ted McGinley) share is once again empty after their youngest son, Connor (Gavin Lewis), finally returns to college. </p>
<p id=”par-11_45″>In the wake of the food truck disaster—Liz sold her share to Sean’s dad—another, albeit smaller, one follows at the local dog shelter. They won’t put Liz’s portraits of the dogs who are available to adopt on the walls for potential new owners to see. </p>
<p id=”par-12_58″>Gaby, played by Jessica Williams, encourages her to reflect on it while doing what she loves—playing with rocks. It’s then that she opens up to Derek. “I’m feeling like, I don’t know. You ever feel like you’re a bit off, like you’re underwater? It’s so stupid. That thing with the dog photos really got to me, you know.” </p>
<p id=”par-13_61″>Derek reminds her the house is “less noisy” without their sons and suggests he get her another food truck. Later, in the final moments of the episode, Liz is catching up with her old flame, Mac, played by Miller’s former <em>Cougartown</em> co-star Josh Hopkins. It ends with the two heading to the park so Liz can take photos of his dog. </p>
