I absolutely loved cotton candy Garnet. She was just so beautiful. Loved seeing blue pearl. Loved BD. Who am I kidding, I loved everything. The coloring and the characterization and the world building and GAH this show is amazing.

I do not know how to feel about this yet. Though I will say Oscar is a moron.

UUGGGGHHHHHH SHE'S PREGNANT!! UGH! OF COURSE SHE IS. And Sloane and Pete deciding to try again. I have no interest in that either. Especially now that Lionel is pregnant. Ugh. WHY DO THESE PEOPLE NEVER LEARN?? Why are they still having these conversations at the arena? Their actions just scream, "look at us! We're doing something suspicious!" With their ten second, hushed conversations, and all of that glancing around to see if anyone can hear them. Why aren't they just going to Sloane's house, or literally anywhere else? They got caught once and they didn't learn from it. At all. I find rooting for such stupid characters to be a strain. And after all that talk about wanting to be sure that information directly gets into the right hands, Sloane takes said packet to the arena, and then leaves it behind in her office. Why couldn't she just take it with her? Because Oscar would be suspicious? All she had to do was lie if he even cared to ask. And even if he didn't believe her, what's he gonna do? Assume she's plotting against him? Force her to hand it over? She didn't even lock the door, allowing Jelena, of course, to just waltz in and take it. Speaking of Jelena, seeing her get out of the shower with her makeup all done and perfect amused me. Still not a fan of her and Terrance. At all. Her apology wasn't terribly impressive and as far as I'm concerned, she's still a horrible person. Maybe I'm a little crazy, but a significant other who was awful to people, blatanlty jealous and power hungry with no qualms about manipulating, backstabbing and tearing down other people they precieved to be a threat wouldn't be very appealing to me, just because they were slightly less awful to me. Or even arguably more awful, considering she drugged him! That's not the sort of thing someone can handwave away with a crappy apology. I mean, so what if she's never apologized before? Have some standards dude. Or self respect or something. Emotions are generally illogical, and people have been in far worse relationships, but this is also the method they're using to endear her to us, and I have problems with that. I don't care about German being so easily played by that reporter chick or whatever that's supposed to be. I feel like I liked that first girl's dance more than Ahsha's, but I've already deleted it so I can't be sure. Jude sure did quickly go from being presented as only liking women, to kissing Zero and adamently denying that he's gay, to agreeing to meet some random dude at a party to being in a bitter "relationship" with Zero and openly mentioning it. It's been like two days, or something. If only such a transition were so smooth.

I... do not know what to say to this episode. Apologies do not work that way Jelena. Victim blaming is not okay. Ever. You were in the wrong 100% in that situation. If I were Terrance I wouldn't be that impressed by such an apology. I REALLY hope Lionel saying how she and Pete will be in one another's lives forever isn't a vague pregnancy reference. Pete, STOP! Just stop. Stop jumping back between your harem. That is the last thing you need right now, and they should know better. Ahsha, you've had plenty of times to talk to Derek. Plenty of times. You're the one who decided the coke issue was resolved. You're the one who didn't talk about it. He shouldn't have done it, certainly, but holding onto it after saying it's resolved and then using it against him later is extremely immature. And annoying. Also I'm pretty sure German reached out to Ahsha about Pete, by telling her he wasn't answering his calls or showing up where he needed to be, since she's his daughter and all. I don't remember very well, but I don't think she specifically sought him out as much as she updated him after German expressed concerns about Pete. As for Jude and Zero, um. ??? I probably have other complaints. I dunno.

Serves them right for talking about Oscar in the arena like idiots. I don't really see how Jelena has a choice. That is, it's not like Terrance and Zero are fighting over her. Terrance still broke up with her, and has given no indication that their situation is going to change. Kyle is not currently amusing me, which is just sad for me. I love Kyle. I still really dislike Pete being an alcoholic out of the blue. And how is it that Ahsha feels the need to give him an ultimatum about the alcohol yet barely gives her boyfriend's cocaine use a second thought? It must be expensive for them to have new outfits every time they perform. Pete needs to just be alone. No Sloane, no Raquel, no Lionel. Even after getting caught, they continue to have their secret meetings in the arena. You have a house, Sloane! Use it! Or you could go literally anywhere else. Breaking and entering in order to find something you can use to blackmail someone with in addition to being in the country illegally seems unwise, but I guess it worked. Way to break it Ahsha. Way to just fail at life. I jokingly said, "now kiss!" when Zero and Jude were talking in the limo, and then it happened. Ahaha. It seemed obvious that Pete was unwell when Lionel left, but apparently not.

I really hope Lionel doesn't get pregnant. That would annoy me just about as much as Pete suddenly being an alcoholic. Finally Ahsha and Derek have the chance to do something besides argue like children, and it's swept away just like everything else. I'm pretty sure cocaine isn't something one just quits doing one day with no reprecussions whatsoever. If Jelena and Terrance had broken up over him wanting to leave and her wanting to stay, then I would be slightly less unwilling to believe she's a human being and that he's not over her. But she drugged him! There is still no excuse for that. And even if she hadn't she still spends her time going after two people who didn't do anything to her, just because they threaten her power or whatever. Also, Zero, you were sleeping with two random chicks at the end of the last episode, and you reffered to Jelena as a trophy and stalked her. I mean, I don't see her as a human being, but that behavior is still not okay, at all. You'd think the last thing Jelena would want is a person who wants to own her rather than be with her. It's no wonder Oliva was able to blackmail everyone considering no one feels the need to leave the arena for sensitive conversations or actions. Really Terrance? You're keeping your drugs in your locker right there? Really? Sigh. This show. Oh yeah! And why doesn't anyone lock their phones? I don't know anyone who doesn't lock their phone.

Ahsha's bras are magic. They transform after a night of sex. I want one! No, Jelena was being blackmailed! Oh wait, I don't care. Generally speaking, one can't be blackmailed when they've done nothing wrong. Also, was he supposed to appreciate her taking care of whoever else knew about his positive drug test? Considering she was the one who drugged him to begin with. I also don't much care that she misses him. They didn't miscommunicate or spend too much time apart. SHE DRUGGED HIM. That's amoral. And illegal. He owes her nothing. Are they allowed to know another team's plays? I know nothing about sports, so. How was that guy's phone not locked? Or in his pocket? I thought he was a reporter or something. Maybe I misremembered. I love Kyle, and her not boyfriend. Forever. Even though it was completley obvious and expected. They seem to have fun together unlike everyone else. Raquel please stop being so easily swayed. Maybe, I dunno, talk to the guy you're seeing instead of his ex-wife and the guy who said extremelty distastful about the mother of his child. And of course he is still going to talk to said mother, especially after an event regarding their child that resulted in media attention. I loved her charity dress, though. The people on this show sure do love having personal, sensitive conversations in front of literally everyone. Terrance should have stayed home and enjoyed his nakedness; I sure was. All that time dedicated to Ahsha not getting fired for dating Derek, and Jelena can not only entice Terrance to show up for a slice of the spotlight, in a very childish manner I might add, but she then goes to plan Zero and takes pictures with him like it's nothing. I can't with that. Everyone also seems to love wandering around the DA all day and night doing... who knows what. Suspicious red envelopes for everyone! It's so awful, yet I'm completely and shamelessly adddicted.

I find Jelena bragging about figuing out Ahsha's secret while in bed with Zero incredibly annoying. And they keep mentioning that they aren't allowed to date players, but I don't remember who originally told them that, so who exactly would be enforcing that rule? The director, her mother? The coach, her father? The criminally invested and far too busy to care about such things Oscar? Who would even care that much? I love Kyle. Since it can never be said enough.
