In One Mississippi season 1 episode 6, entitled "New Contact," Tig becomes preoccupied with reconnecting with a childhood friend named Trish. She seems to be struggling with the loss of her mother, and Tig wants to help her get through it.
Tig had lost touch with Trish after high school, and when she reaches out through social media, she's surprised to find that Trish is still living in their hometown of Bay Saint Lucille. She immediately jumps at the opportunity to reconnect with her old friend and maybe recapture some of the past. She thinks of all the good times they had, the countless hours they spent talking about everything under the sun, and the priceless memories they shared.
When Tig drives over to Trish's house, she finds her in a state of mourning. Her mother had recently passed away, and she's in no mood for small talk or reminiscing about old times. Tig attempts to console her by sharing some of her own experiences with grief, but Trish isn't interested. As the episode progresses, we see Tig's frustration mount as she tries everything she can think of to get through to Trish and cheer her up.
Meanwhile, Bill begins to grow increasingly curious about Tig's relationship with Trish. After Tig tells him about her childhood friend, Bill finds her Facebook profile and starts to ruminate about the past. It's clear that he's feeling jealous and insecure, and he worries that Tig might be looking to rekindle an old flame. He confronts her about it, but Tig just brushes him off, insisting that her connection with Trish is purely platonic.
As Tig continues to try and reach out to Trish, she discovers that her friend isn't as open to reconnecting as she had originally thought. In fact, Trish seems downright hostile to Tig's overtures of friendship. Tig struggles to understand why her efforts aren't working and why Trish seems so closed off to her.
Throughout the episode, we see Tig start to doubt her own social abilities and wonder if she's doing something wrong. She feels like she's pushing too hard and overstepping her bounds, and she begins to second guess herself. Bill tries to comfort her, but it's clear that Tig is feeling vulnerable and unsure.
In the end, Tig finally confronts Trish and demands to know why she's been so difficult. Trish finally admits that she's struggling with her mother's death and that she's not ready to deal with old memories or relationships. Tig is sympathetic and understanding, and the two women finally connect over their shared sense of loss.
"New Contact" is a deeply emotional episode that explores the delicate dynamics of friendship and the complexities of grief. Tig's journey to reconnect with Trish is a powerful reminder that sometimes we need to be patient with ourselves and with others, and that healing takes time. The episode also delves deeper into Tig's relationship with Bill and the insecurities that can arise when old friends resurface. Overall, "New Contact" is a poignant and thought-provoking installment in the first season of One Mississippi.
