Ep 7. Coping and Stuff

In The Guild season 3 episode 7, titled "Coping and Stuff," the members of the guild are continuing to cope with their various personal issues. Codex is struggling with her job search, and the pressure from her mother to find a steady income. Meanwhile, Zaboo is still feeling the after-effects of his breakup with Riley, and Tink is dealing with her own relationship issues.

The episode kicks off with Codex going to a job fair, hoping to find something that will give her more stability. She's feeling the pressure from her mother, who constantly tells her that she's not living up to her potential and needs to find a real job. Despite her efforts, Codex is rejected from every booth she visits. She ends up running into Zaboo, who is there with his mother. They have a heart-to-heart about their struggles, and it becomes clear that Codex and Zaboo are both feeling lost and directionless.

Later, Tink and Clara show up at Codex's apartment to vent about their own problems. Tink is in the middle of a fight with her boyfriend, and Clara is dealing with an alcoholic husband. As they try to cheer each other up, they realize that they need to take action to make things better for themselves. Tink decides to confront her boyfriend about their issues, while Clara makes plans to attend an Al-Anon meeting.

Meanwhile, Vork is trying to cope with the fact that Bladezz (who had previously sold Vork's sword in the game) is now living in the same apartment complex as him. He's having trouble adjusting to this change, and decides to avoid Bladezz at all costs. However, this quickly becomes impossible when Bladezz starts hanging out with Zaboo and Codex. Vork is forced to confront him, and the two of them have a tense conversation about their past.

The episode comes to a close with Codex receiving the news that she's been offered a job. She's thrilled, but also realizes that her guildmates are still struggling. She decides to sit down with Zaboo and Tink to discuss their issues and come up with a plan to move forward together. Even though they're all dealing with their own personal problems, they're still able to support each other and come together as a guild.

Overall, "Coping and Stuff" is an emotional episode that highlights the struggles of the guild members. While they may be united in their love of the game, they're still individuals with their own issues to work through. It's refreshing to see the characters facing real-world problems and trying to cope with them in their own ways. The episode ends with a sense of hope, as even though things are tough, the guild members are still there for each other.
