The one thing I'm confused about is that the first episode of the season took place no longer than just a few days ago, in-universe. It might even be just two or three days ago. Either way, in the first episode, Connor pulls an audible on the original wedding plans, in order to save money for his final election push (an election that is only "days away"). And now, just a few days later, they've already got the new wedding planned, the boat/location secured, they booked the band, new invitations went out, etc? So was it spur of the moment, and that's why it's on a Friday? But if not, wouldn't Connor have *already* paid for the extravagant version of the wedding? I'm really confused by the timeline here.
Also, I read a rumor that the entire season takes place over 10 consecutive days, with each episode essentially comprising one day. Apparently Brian Cox said as much in a recent interview. Which seems, so far, to be true, and would support the idea that the first episode was only two days ago.
