1. Raquel does have a file and red envelope. Thus, making her a suspect. My one fear regarding the Olivia's murder is that they pull a cheat so the murderer isn't a red envelope recipient or only reveal that they were getting red envelopes at the same time they are revealed as the murderer. 2. Obsessed fan. 3. Lynn Whitfield.

IIRC, Remi was getting the merch for free.

Ahsha's terrible, and Racquel has sadly went downhill this season. But otherwise I'm reasonably happy with the show this season. I think we're supposed to think that Jelena's wrong for blaming the victim, but growing up in a home of abuse still leaves scars even for the person not being abused. As far as Zero, I think the actor is doing well playing a phony manipulator. Hell, even if it's obvious what is endgame, at least I give a shit about Zero/Jelena/Terrance which is all I can ask from a show. Kyle was obvious this episode, but she's still the best. All this, hot people, and the fact that I'm reasonably interested in the murder mystery mean I'm happy.

Only Marisol would act holier-than-thou when caught trying to drug someone. I hope Opal kills that bigot.

Let's put aside Ben/Riley nonsense for a moment. What is supposed to be appealing about Georgie? Wouldn't her brother be annoyed that she's spending all this time with his exes friends? Why was Riley apologizing for Georgie setting up a phony job interview a few episodes ago? If Riley's feelings for Ben "forced" her to break up Philip/Riley, why aren't Danny's feelings for Riley a dealbreaker? I'm beginning to suspect that the writers know that they have the audience on the hook for Riley/Danny and figure that we'll swallow whatever they dish out. Given the ratings and the creative direction, I wouldn't be surprised to see a change in showrunner.

I was in complete disbelief at last episode. Are the writers this tone deaf? Do they really think they've done the work on Ben/Riley? Are they this wildly overestimating our interest in Georgie/Danny? All of that though pales to what's really surprising: that the suits at ABC Family approved this.

When Marisol gave Nicholas the ultimatum, I just wish he told her off as a homophobic, busybody. At this point, I have lost interest in everyone except the Powells, Susan Lucci, Zoila, and shirtless Remi.
