Renata (Laura Dern), Monterey power mom and protector of Amabella, is holding a power stance at the edge of her property, singing, “It’s my house and I live here.” We pan out to see that this is not the beginning of an in-episode musical sequence—Renata is posing for a photoshoot, mouthing along to the pumped-up playlist.
