Younger Boss Breaks Down Liza and Kelsey's Defining Moment: 'That's Where Everything Finally Landed' 

Liza’s friendship with Kelsey reached a new high on Wednesday’s

Younger Clip: Will Josh Get Over Liza… by Getting Under Montana?

A weekend in the woods for a top-secret publishing retreat turned out to be a solid bonding experience for the friends-turned-frenemies, though it certainly didn’t start that way. In fact, Liza could only take so many bitchy glances and cutting remarks from Kelsey before drunkenly expressing her interest in launching a rival publishing company’s new young-adult imprint.

But things really turned around (pun intended) during the ladies’ drive back to New York City when Liza got a series of emergency messages about Caitlin being hospitalized. Seeing Liza jump into mom mode changed everything for Kelsey, making her numerical indiscretion but a distant memory.

“That’s where everything finally landed for Kelsey — why Liza did what she did,” series creator Darren Star confirms to TVLine. “It’s something that Liza could have ever explained. It’s something Kelsey had to come to understand.”

Moving forward, Star says that Liza and Kelsey’s friendship “will continue to transcend their age difference. They may relate to each other a little differently, but [Liza’s lie] won’t continue to be an issue for them. It’s like a friend who comes out about their sexuality; it might surprise you at first, but then you don’t even think about it.”

I feel that Kelsey needed to drop her anger toward Liza, & it happened just in time. Liza was getting frustrated so I’m glad they’re working back toward their amazing friendship

Couldn’t agree more! Now I’m just waiting for the Josh to meet a guy. Not that far off considering Nico is sexually fluid.

I definitely wish the show was an hour long. I think it would really allow for more development and stronger plotlines

I completely agree. In fact, if I remember correctly, didn’t season 2 show two episodes back to back each week? I think that worked out very well as far as plot lines go, even if it made the season go by quicker.

I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m glad. The hatred didn’t make complete sense. They’re too good of friends for Kelsey not to have come to understand.

I really don’t think it was hatred. It was her being hurt by Liza lying to her and not feeling like Liza trusted her.

I’m glad that Kelsey came around this ep, because honestly, I was just about done with her. It’s one thing to be angry with someone and being rude about it. It’s a completely different thing to sabotage someone’s career. Nice walk back, Kelsey.

I wish the episodes were longer. I feel like it was JUST getting to the juice and then it’s ends. The 1/2 hour model doesn’t work for a show like this.

That was an awesome episode. They keep upping it each week. While I will miss Kelsey being a total jerk (because some of it was comical), I am glad they are back together :)
