Frank encourages Mac to come out to his inmate father, and discovers that Mac has been workshopping an interpretive dance number to explain his feelings, which Frank arranges for him to perform at the prison (with ballerina Kylie Shea as his partner):Īs a narrative, the dance routine (which non-dancer McElhenney trained for months to learn) makes no sense, which the episode lets Frank point out. But it’s one of those moments where logic doesn’t really matter. Set to a haunting Sigur Rós song, the choreography and direction - particularly the way that McElhenney and Shea slide effortlessly along the rain-streaked floor - are so beautiful, and the emotion on the faces of Mac, Frank and most of the prisoners (but not Mr.
McDonald, who bitterly storms out midway through the routine) so palpable, that Mac and the episode get across the basic ideas about pain and confusion, light and dark, secrecy and release. #Charlie am i gay for god episode series.
