Fun, Eco Resort, and other best episodes of The Four Seasons, ranked
8. Lake House
The first episode of The Four Seasons is in last place because it is the opening episode and it thus establishes the various aspects of the story. The first episode helps viewers understand who the characters are and at this point in the show, there are no twists and turns, yet. The episode begins with the married couple Kate (Fey) and Jack (Forte) deciding to travel to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Anne and Nick. During their journey, they also meet another couple, Danny (Domingo) and Claude (Calvani). From here, there are some exciting surprises as Danny has to get surgery for a heart blockage and Nick tells Danny and Jack that he wants to leave Anne. On the other hand, Anne tells Kate that she wants to do a vow renewal on that day. The first episode establishes other facets like Nick and Anne’s relationship conflicts and gets the viewers hooked to the humor of the show. However, the show has plenty more humor and character revelations in the future. It also showcases small quirks about the characters like Danny’s tendency to lie, Kate’s negative opinion of Claude, and more.
7. Family Weekend
The next episode on the list is episode 5 of The Four Seasons. This episode focuses on a play that has been put on by Lila and therefore, all the friends are at Danny, Kate, and Jack’s old college to see the performance. However, everyone is a bit shocked, especially Lila, because Nick has decided to bring Ginny. The dark humor amps up in this instance as the play is about how Nick left his family to be with Ginny. Further, the central message of the play is also hilarious. It is all about being born alone, dying alone, but lying to each other in between. The message of the play also symbolizes the dynamic of the group on the show. On the other hand, there are tensions between Claude and Danny. When a shared Grindr hookup session ends with some unresolved feelings, Danny admits that he feels claustrophobic in the relationship and Claude mentions that he does not want to lose Danny. Even Kate and Jack are going through some troubles and are trying their best to reconnect through their past. The episode therefore gives some more glimpses into the relationship problems of the couples and the show begins to flow smoothly.
6. Eco Resort
The Third episode of The Four Seasons is next on the list. This is an important episode in terms of plotline as it introduces the character of Ginny (Henningsen), who is Nick’s new girlfriend and formal dental hygienist. The show portrays the breakup of Nick and Anne, rather swiftly and now, Ginny has made all of Nick’s friends pack their bags and head out on a vacation to an eco-resort. The cinematography of the episode is great with some wonderful shots of natural scenery. The episode also highlights in the beginning that Anne is obviously not invited to the trip. However, when Claude and Danny sneak off to another resort, they do see Anne over there. The episode is comedic as no one is enjoying the vacation. Plus, the episode has a lot of moments that showcase each character's quirks. For example, Kate sees that Nick is crying and thinks that he is crying over his wrong decisions in life. However, Nick later reveals that he was crying tears of joy. The episode is still pretty early in the season and therefore, the story is still building and has some funny moments in between.
5. Ultimate Frisbee
The sixth episode of The Four Seasons has a lot of twists and turns. Aptly titled, the episode keeps going back and forth like a frisbee. While Kate and Jack are working on their relationship, Anne is trying to smooth things with Nick, after the two fight over their daughter, Lila. On the other hand, Danny and Claude are also taking some space. All three couples are therefore at various moments in their relationship’s trajectory. Claude also tells Danny that he needs to decide if he wants a marriage or wants to stay alone in life. While the tone of the show is comedic, it does deal with the mid-life crisis and that is seen in the fight between Jack and Kate as they accuse each other of being envious of Nick, who was able to start over in life. The episode has a lot of short and important moments as well. Danny becomes angry with Kate for insulting Claude and Jack reveals to Kate that he kissed Anne. The episode is therefore a Pandora's box for viewers who have a lot to process after this episode. The episode is important as it marks a turn in Kate and Danny’s friendship. Interestingly, Kate merely laughs when Jack tells her that he kissed Anne and she instead comforts Anne and asks her how she knew that Nick was leaving her. This moment showcases Kate’s own fears of Jack leaving her as well.
4. Ski Trip
This episode is the seventh episode of The Four Seasons and there are some humorous moments and a big twist in this one. The episode begins with Anne dating a man called Terry and Claude thinking that Terry might be the man he had got intimate with, many years earlier. Claude’s old flame had a birthmark and Danny and Claude decide to go on a hilarious and wild adventure to see if Anne’s new boyfriend also has the birthmark. Turns out, that he does not have it. On the other hand, Jack and Kate are trying to work on their marriage and decide to go to therapy. The therapy seems to work as the two begin to share their feelings. However, all things go for a toss when Kate discovers that Jack had searched for mediation services, which means that he was considering leaving Kate. On the other hand, Kate gets close with Danny and Claude. While no one is enjoying the trip, not even Nick and Ginny, who organized it. Ginny gets angry at Nick for not getting along with her friends and not trying as well. This leads to one of the most unexpected moments in the season as Nick decides to head out and get some stuff that Ginny’s friends will love but gets into a fatal accident while coming back. Therefore, the seventh episode features Nick’s unexpected death, which takes viewers by surprise. Though Nick was a complex and unlikeable character, his death feels emotional.
3. Garden Party
One of the most iconic episodes of The Four Seasons is the second episode of the series. Even though it is only the second episode, it had the perfect balance of comedy and emotions and a ruckus wedding drama at the center of it all. The episode starts with Kate and Jack being worried that Nick has decided to flee as he is nervous upon hearing that Anne wants to renew their vows. On the other hand, Claude learns that Danny is not going ahead with his heart surgery and gets furious. As Anne gets ready, she shares with Kate that she is worried about Nick and feels as if he is unhappy. This makes Kate worry about her own relationship and she tells Jack to promise that the two of them will not stop communicating so that they don’t end up like Nick and Anne. While Nick does return for the vows and the ceremony begins on a sweet note, everything goes for a toss soon. The episode is important not only because it signals the end of Anne and Nick’s relationship but also because it has the perfect amount of laughs and emotions. The episode is paced well and it has some funny moments like Claude singing Anne and Nick’s wedding song, only to learn it isn’t. Further, it also lays open the problems in Kate and Jack’s relationship. All of this finally ends up exploding in Anne’s kiln and the relationship between Anne and Nick ending.
2. Beach Bar
The fourth episode of The Four Seasons is also well made and has some important moments. The episode begins with Anne revealing that she knew about the friends’ trip as she can still see Nick’s private photos and wanted to confront them, but decided to not do it. Danny tells Anne to enjoy her own vacation and she therefore tries to hilariously and unsuccessfully seduce her surfing instructor. On the other hand, Nick asks Kate and Jack to be nicer to Ginny and a moment of panic erupts when Danny takes drugs after his heart surgery, which makes Kate and Jack nervous. The finale of the episode is hilarious as a hurricane hits and the group has to travel in a pedal pub to get shelter at Anne’s resort. The episode showcases the messy lives of all the friends. From Danny’s reckless attitude to Jack and Kate’s own relationship problems, the show underlines the realistic problems that each of the character is going through. The episode also has some heartfelt moments as Anne saves everyone from the storm by giving them shelter at her resort.

The last episode of The Four Seasons is hilariously titled, “Fun”, even though it revolves around the funeral of Nick. The episode once again does a good job of balancing humor and heartfelt emotions. The episode begins with a lot of things going wrong. Nick’s urn is a giant show and Jack and Kate are arguing once again. On the other hand, Claude thinks that Nick has turned into a butterfly, which annoys Danny, who wants to truly sit with his feelings and feel the loss of his friend. The enmity between Anne and Ginny is also going on as Ginny wants to give a speech but Anne refuses. More than the funeral, it is the circumstances around it that are the high point of the episode. Ginny runs away and Kate tries to stop her but falls through the ice instead. During this moment, Jack saves her and the two finally reconcile. It is after the funeral that the friends realize that Nick has truly gone. Towards the end, the group raises a toast for Nick, except for Ginny, who Anne reveals is pregnant. The episode therefore ends on the perfect note of mayhem, comedy, and heartfelt emotions. The question of Ginny’s pregnancy also sets up the show for a possible season 2. However, there are still some simmering tensions as Jack and Kate’s and Danny and Claude’s relationship only looks fine from the outside. The poignant moment of the episode occurs when Ginny and Anne have an honest and wholesome conversation about their relationship with Nick.
