The episode opens on a close up of Jocelyn’s face, as she receives directions from a photographer giving her cues for specific emotions from joyful to vulnerable to upset.'And Just Like That...
“The first shot of the show, I think, tells you everything you need to know about Jocelyn, how gifted she is as a performer,” Levinson said in a segment about crafting the series, which aired after the episode. “She can laugh on cue, cry on cue. You see how good this character is at manipulating us emotionally. What’s so brilliant about Lily’s performance is that despite the fact she tells you that up front, you forget how she’s able to deceive the audience.
The camera pans out, and we see that this is part of a photoshoot for her new album. As Jocelyn lays on a table, clad in only a red, silk, backless robe , the intimacy coordinator rushes over to make sure that she follows her nudity rider. She tries to explain that she’s perfectly comfortable showing more of her body, and an argument ensues — almost exclusively between the men in the room — about whether it’s appropriate for her to have her robe open in the photos.
As the episode progresses, it becomes clear just how many people are making decisions for Jocelyn, often without her involvement at all. From her assistant to the music label to her plethora of publicists, Jocelyn is often the last to be clued in on details about her own life. When a reporter fromasks her who she answers to, Jocelyn says, “God.” But, it’s clear that she’s not quite as free as she’d like to imagine.
