So is the connection between Leo, the athlete with the socks, and Clive, the taxi driver, yet another red herring or were they in on all of the rapes together? I think I can count the Broadchurch people who are decent and likeable on one hand. It's a tamer version of the Hellmouth. Do we know that there is a relationship between Ed from the feed store and the young police officer? (I saw this upthread but I'm not sure if it is true.) Connecting Chloe and Daisy was an interesting move. Was Daisy's photo part of the "porn" that Miller's son was watching on his phone? Love Hardy and Miller together. Will miss them when this is over.

I am so happy that the show is not focusing on Callie Saves the World and Puts Herself into Jeopardy that I'm willing to overlook a lot. I liked this episode because it focused on the characters and not on the ridiculous Super Callie plots. However, I do not understand why Stef and Lena are not actively trying to work with Jesus as opposed to letting the status quo become the new normal. We should at least see Jesus in some sort of ongoing therapy - physical, occupational, behavioral, etc... - for the TBI. Lena's non-action really surprises me. Do something! I really thought it would be Callie who would be joining the roller derby so I liked that it was Mariana instead. Of course, she continued her devious ways by signing Lena's name instead of asking permission to join. I loved seeing the drone drop the newspapers; too bad that the club got caught and the guys blamed Mariana. I do not see the appeal of Noah and Jude at all. Since when is Jude addicted to video games? I only recall him playing with the game set that Connor gave him way back in an early episode. I do, however, like Jude trying to help his sister with her mission. Brandon and Grace = meh but Grace is so much more age and personality appropriate for Brandon than any of his other girlfriends. I also like how she recognized that he was running away from music after the SAT debacle. Loved the awkwardness of the dinner with the neighbors. I thought that Frank found Stef and Tess cuddling on the couch and sent Stef to see the priest? The dinner conversation didn't sound as if the cuddling actually happened? Did I mishear it or are they trying to say that Stef was the one with the crush on Tess and that Tess was not interested back then? Surprised that we didn't see a bunch of Nick's father's high powered lawyers at the School Board meeting since the main purpose of privatizing Anchor Beach is to make a ton of money for their group? I don't understand how Drew is still there given that Lena is now back from her leave? The board member's threat to Lena makes me think that her future at Anchor Beach is limited. Perhaps she can train for a career working with TBI individuals? I'm not sure how I feel about the Callie/Aaron dinner. Despite the way that Callie acted, at least she wasn't trying to save the world and didn't end up in juvie, so I can live with it. It sure looks as if the show is done with Mike Foster. Given that he is no longer Stef's partner and that the Hot Dad role is being filled by Gabe right now, I don't see how he fits other than as Ana's boyfriend (and that may well be ending too).

This was my favorite episode in a very long time because there was no Callie In Danger/Callie Saves the World. I really liked both scenes with the Moms and Callie as well as the scene where Stef yells at Jesus. We finally get to see the Moms parenting teenagers for teenage appropriate behavior. So glad that the court issues with Callie are over. I like her new art class friend and look forward to her being a good influence on Callie. It's good for Callie to have someone who is not a part of the foster care system as a friend. I also liked seeing how the Moms are dealing with the two bio dads who are involved with their lives right now. Very interested to see how the return of Tess plays out. I definitely remembered the name from the episode with Frank. Great idea to insert her into the show. I don't see Stef cheating but this will be a very interesting complication. I like Grace far better than any of the other girls/women with whom Brandon was involved. I also like how he is struggling to figure out his future now that Juilliard is out of the mix for at least a year. I actually may re-watch this episode; I haven't said that since the episode when the Moms got remarried.

My guess is that there is money to be made by taking Anchor Beach private.

I fast forwarded all of the Callie in danger/Stef racing to rescue her scenes and tuned in to see Stef warning Callie about winding up dead. I so hope that this is the end of the SuperCallie saves the world storyline; I would far prefer to see Callie trying to move forward with the normal teenage drama instead of the Kyle/Diamond/Troy/going to jail/Justina life in danger drama. I did enjoy the Anchor Beach storyline, which seems a lot more realistic. I can easily see a school with a beachfront setting being the subject of privatization. I wouldn't mind Monte sticking around if she and Lena can figure out how to save the day. Speaking of Lena, I understand why TPTB chose not to keep Jesus in a facility for storyline purposes but he really needs ongoing therapy and assistance as he recovers from the TBI. This has the potential to be a great story; I hope that it doesn't turn into just a Jesus/Emma/Brandon one. I really liked Ana and Gabe's conversation about being bio parents and their ongoing - or not ongoing - role in the twins' lives. I also liked the Ana/Mariana discussion about the therapy debacle. Noticed that Danny Nucci's name is no longer in the opening credits. I wonder if this means that Ana and Mike will no longer be a couple and that Mike's role will be phased out? Biggest issue with the premiere: not enough Stef/Lena time.

I finally watched just in time for the start of Season 5. It's amazing how quickly the episode goes when you FF through all of the Callie/Diamond/Pimp stuff. Ugh. This is NOT why I started watching The Fosters - not at all. I thought that the entire episode sucked. I did like hearing Grandma's voice but that is about it.

Horrible, horrible story. I had never seen Ellis in True Blood but heard he was very gifted. What a terrible loss.

So happy to see this show back. The first time that Hardy yelled "Millah"...I screamed! I'm already more intrigued by Season 3 than I was by all of Season 2.

VP Murray! I'm not finding UKS as funny this year as last year.

It has taken me this long to watch this episode because the Callie/Kyle/Troy story line - soon to be the Callie/Diamond story line - has completely turned me off of the show. Watching Callie in danger from murderers and pimps and threatened with prison is not why I signed on to watch The Fosters. Horrible decision making on the part of TPTB. I'm now FF through all of the Callie scenes. I also do not need the Diamond story line. I understand that teenage prostitution is a huge issue but I wish it wasn't shoehorned into the show. On a good note, I did like the Jesus scenes because the actor is knocking it out of the park with his portrayal of the frustrations of a TBI. While I do wish that he mentioned some other ramifications of the pills other than the impotence, it is believable that a 16 year old boy would focus on sex first and foremost. The Jesus scenes are saving the show at this point. Many points to Gabe for telling Lena about the pills. I'm tired of Mariana -- and the stupidity of her online activities make no sense for a girl who is supposed to be as smart and computer savvy as she is. I did like Brandon comforting Jesus -- just as he comforted Emma with the abortion. Brandon has come a long way towards redeeming himself this season. I am mildly curious as to the Anchor Beach private school story line -- and the presence of Nick's father in the middle of it. I still have the finale to watch. I really hope that the upcoming season is better than this one; the focus on Callie in danger is really eating the show in a bad way.

Oh no...not Mikey! I love Titus and Mikey together. Loved seeing Daveed Diggs.

Reminiscent of the Bones finale.

Great episode. Loved JJ's face when they reached the bonfire. I'll admit to tearing up along with Dylan.

I liked it more than I thought I would. Still not a fan of Weller because I can't stand how the actor speaks in this role. Loved the 2 geeks from NASA who were pulled in to help Patterson with the satellite. Loved Mary Stuart Masterson; it was very nice to see an FBI Director who appreciated Jane's contributions. Loved seeing Nas finally get her win. The rock climbing scene at the end was amazing.

Time Travel gives me a headache. I like that Cecile now knows about Team Flash. I like HR and Tracy together - much more than HR by himself. Getting bored with the Savitar storyline.

Per Deadline, Moonves said that Elementary made an $80 million profit for CBS Corp. the previous year.

I thought this was a very good episode. Still not clear what COGS in the bunker actually means but I liked seeing some of the faces from the prior episodes (the CDC rep, the CIA guy). I half expected Nas to show up. When they were walking Weller down the hall, I was sure that Shepherd and Roman were on the other side of the door. Shepherd's rocket has to factor into this somehow. Plus - are we sure that Borden is actually dead? I can't see Shepherd making it to next season.

I really enjoyed this episode - logic be damned. Thought it was great that Alex figured out how to keep herself alive long enough for Kara to rescue her. Such a badass. I like Alex/Maggie and really appreciated that Alex asked to talk to Maggie privately when she thought she was dying. Limited Mon-El, no James, limited Winn works for me. The actress playing Lena can really command the stage. I hope that they do not turn her evil.

This was my favorite episode of the season. Finally held my attention. The Martha/Gabriel scene was riveting and I was intrigued with the Tuan situation. Best part: no Paige.

I continue to love this show. Kenneth maneuvering JJ into his apartment was gold.

I particularly liked Rogelio's confession to Xo about how much he missed Michael. I also liked Jane's conversation with Professor Donaldson and the reveal of her books in the closet.

Shepherd is one hell of a one-person fighting force. No desire to see Zapata in jail so I'll likely skip the next episode or FF a lot. I missed Nas.

I'm doing a binge watch of Leverage - missed it originally and am loving it now. This was a great episode. Loved seeing everyone's version of the attempted theft. I continue to crack up at everyone else's reactions to Parker.

I loved the melon smashing and watching Sherlock exasperate Joan. Never fails to amuse.

I enjoyed this ep - likely because there was no Shinwell. Cracked up at the Joan bench! Do JLM and Lucy really not get along? Could not tell by their on-screen chemistry.
