Things get quiet, heavy, and deeply uncomfortable in this week’s Six Feet Unfiltered as Chloe and Courtney return after a 7 month hiatus to unpack Six Feet Under Season 2, Episode 5: “The Invisible Woman.” And yeah… it’s a lot. We’re talking about one of the most haunting deaths of the series: Emily Previn, a woman who dies alone in her apartment and isn’t discovered for days. From there, the episode becomes a meditation on loneliness, projection, and what it really means to live a “full” life, whether or not anyone is watching. Ruth spirals at the idea of dying unseen, Claire fiercely pushes back against society’s obsession with conformity, and Nate grapples with the brutal reality that, in the end, we’re all just biology. Meanwhile, Brenda battles imposter syndrome and writer’s block, finding unexpected connection (and complication) in her friendship with Melissa, a sex worker who challenges Brenda’s assumptions in all the best and worst ways. David stumbles into a sweet, vulnerable new romance only to have old wounds ripped open when Keith shows up in crisis. And Claire’s friendship with Parker detonates spectacularly thanks to SAT fraud. This episode also marks our return during a moment of real-life grief and fear in our own community and across the globe, and we don’t shy away from naming that. When we recorded this episode, Minneapolis was still reeling from the killing of Renée Nicole Good, a 37-year-old Minnesota resident shot and killed by an ICE agent; a death that has since been ruled a homicide by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner. Now, at the time of posting, another life has been taken: Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse and U.S. citizen with no criminal history was also shot and killed by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis. Bystander video shows Pretti holding only a phone and putting himself between agents and a woman they had pepper-sprayed and knocked to the ground, and yet he was tackled, disarmed, and fatally shot ON OUR STREETS. This isn’t isolated. These deaths come amid Operation Metro Surge, a massive federal immigration enforcement deployment that has terrorized our Minneapolis neighborhoods, sparked ongoing protests, and ignited calls across the Twin Cities and the country for accountability and the end of ICE’s presence in Minneapolis. JUSTICE FOR RENEE GOOD. JUSTICE FOR ALEX PRETTI. ICE OUT OF MINNEAPOLIS NOW!!!!! The conversation is raw, messy, and honest about death, invisibility, moral panic, and the stories we tell ourselves about other people’s lives. We’re unpacking all of it: projection vs. compassion, independence vs. isolation, emotional labor, sex work, masculinity, and why being “alone” doesn’t automatically mean being sad. Take a breath. Get comfortable. And let’s talk about the women everyone keeps misunderstanding. 🎙💀
