Hanging over the scene, of course, was the abrupt departure, at the end of Season 2, of Louie?s unrequited love interest, Pamela (played on the show by C.K.?s real-life friend and Lucky Louie co-star Pamela Adlon). Louie?s dating in Pamela?s absence, but it doesn?t seem as though he?s turned the page. Before April arrives at the caf?, we can tell that he isn?t looking forward to the encounter. He sighs, runs his hand agitatedly over his head. When she slides into the booth, complaining about work stuff, C.K. nicely captures Louie?s wandering interest with a quick cut outside the caf?, a burst of street noise interrupting April?s speech. The difference in their age is never mentioned explicitly, but it?s addressed, and inverted, implicitly. April comes off, by far, as the more emotionally mature, or at least emotionally intelligent, of the two. The fortysomething with two kids and an ex-wife is stammering over his bowl of ice cream. The thirtysomething, fresh from dealing with hellacious meetings and an office rival (Lisa, that cooze!), plays an expert ?game of relationship charades,? as she puts it, rapidly pinpointing, and then making peace with, Louie?s unspoken ambivalence about their future together. ?You should just say the words and we?ll move on,? April says. When he can?t, she does. April appears again at the end of the episode, this time tucking Louie in, making him a sandwich, and, in another bravado monologue, saving them from ?wasting four years of both of our lives? after he suggests, flailingly, that they get back together. He?s got a blurry penis; she sees things clearly.
