I was really happy to see Kitty make it through unscathed -- and to see Joan and Sherlock as godparents. Nice touch.

I hope they don't end up fostering or adopting yet another kid. Perhaps this will turn out to be a link to Girls United if Diamond is placed there?

I really enjoyed this episode. Kenny was a bit more restrained and Jimmy is hilarious, as usual.

I've never been a fan of Buck and Wanda. I did crack up at Angela's disgust at being asked by Brennan to dig into the haystack.

Blair Brown with the red hair -- and the red hair found at the cemetery - too coincidental. I liked seeing Kitty return and am suspicious of the nanny because I recognize her from other roles.

I particularly liked this episode - especially given the political messages. Limited Mon-El with a dash of Luthors really helped. What is the big deal with Mon-El being the Prince (with the exception that he lied to Kara about his true identity)? Perhaps TPTB decided that, without Cat Grant, they would prefer to jettison Jimmy, Snapper and the Catco set and spend their production money elsewhere?

I thought this episode was done very well. I even enjoyed seeing the stars in the background while allowing Iris and Sharee to take center stage. Have to admit that I teared up a bit when Travis joined Chris and at the end when Iris received the call from the President.

My speculation is that Lena is on her way out at Anchor Beach. Perhaps this is the catalyst. Monte seems to get on very well with the replacement and Lena's aggressiveness on an issue which can polarize prospective parents will push her out the door.

I really enjoyed this episode - until the last minute when Callie's terrific episode was ruined by the reemergence of the car crash/Troy/prison issue. I suspect that this will be the catalyst for discovering that Kyle is really innocent and that Detective Gray and possibly others in the police department were in league to cover it up. So glad that there was no Aaron/AJ/Callie. I liked seeing Talya standing up for Callie (who would have thought?!) and seeing her classmates sympathetically question her about her project and her time in juvie. Having the art professor seek Callie out for praise was the icing on the cake for her. It's been so long since Callie had a triumph - possibly since the adoption ceremony - that it felt great for her - until the last minute. Brandon's surprising rehabilitation was going so well until he spilled Emma's story to Mariana. I am liking this Brandon a lot; reminds me of the Brandon from the Pilot who took the bus with Callie to rescue Jude. Speaking of Jude, I liked seeing the Moms parenting him. I thought the scene was very effective and Stef, the cop who has likely seen teenagers who have been raped in such situations, looked like she was going to burst out in tears. After seeing Lena in her office at Anchor Beach interacting uncomfortably with Monte and her "temporary" replacement, I don't think she will be returning to the school. They moved very quickly to replace her and he seems to have made himself right at home. Moreover, Monte's attitude towards Lena was far from welcoming. My guess is that this will turn into Lena moving into a new job elsewhere. What have TPTB done with Mariana? Where is the smart Mariana who led the STEM team and is so knowledgeable about computers? I know she likely has PTSD from the Nick situation but it is such a dumb move to post secrets on a website which could easily be hacked and lead to them being uncovered. This is clearly not going to end well. Enjoying the Jesus TBI storyline. I hope that it we see more of his struggles. I like AJ and it seems as if Mike really cares for him. I hope that he has a happy ending and doesn't see Mike's desire to adopt him solely as a vehicle for Ana to move in. Surprised that Ty has rehabilitated himself. If AJ goes to live with Ty, is that the way to write him off of the show?

I thought this was a really stupid episode. Jeremiah comes back from captivity after 14 years -- and the cynical, highly trained professionals at the DEO lose their minds because they are so overwhelmed with his return? The only person who can see through the glorious haze is Mon-El? Sorry, I don't buy it. I really like Alex/Maggie but Alex has lost her edge as a DEO agent since this storyline took off. Previously Alex was shown to be smart, tough as nails, always prepared and sharp as hell....It's as though she has lost those qualities once she fell for Maggie - which is a shame and a bit insulting because strong women can obviously fall in love and still retain their previous traits.

Bill Paxton dead at 61. http://people.com/movies/bill-paxton-dead-complications-surgery-age-61/

I don't see what purpose Nas serves on the show. She was initially investigating Sandstorm for years but it seems that recent events - including Roman's capture - make her less necessary to the search.

Didn't Shepherd mention having a mole in the FBI?

I love this show. Particularly loved Kenneth figuring out how to level the playing field so that the kids could fight. Nice to see a wide representation of special needs kids. Nice to see Michaela Watkins, who I have loved since Trophy Wife.

I liked this episode more than usual. Zapata seemed civil to Jane. Pairing Weller with Roman was a great move; Weller mumbled less than usual. When Nas got into the car, I kept saying to myself "check the backseat!". Dope. The FBI can barely protect itself; how are they able to protect others? I would be happy with a show based around Jane, Roman and Patterson.

Given Callie's luck, someone in the deal process will refuse to go along and she will still be in legal jeopardy. I'm a bit surprised that we have yet to see Jesus's birth father - the one whose nail gun started this whole thing - visit Jesus. Perhaps that is still to come? I still think that Jesus will end up at the rehab center full time.

I liked this episode more than this season's previous ones. Particularly liked the therapy session with the moms and Mariana because the therapist addressed how they are parenting each child. More of this, please. Also liked how Mariana's issues stem from her childhood with Ana and continue to this day. Realistic. I also really liked the Jesus TMI storyline: I could do without Pregnant Emma but I think the show is doing a good job showing the patient's frustrations and the limitations of untrained caretakers. Lena is so well-meaning regarding Jesus but has no rehab training and 4 other children to care for. Being a caretaker for someone with brain issues is a 24/7 job and is incredibly wearing on the caretaker. It's only a matter of time before she snaps. At least we saw Jesus getting some real therapy at the rehab center. I wonder whether they will decide to move Jesus in-patient at some point; probably not great for the show's storytelling but much more realistic. Speaking of Lena, she mentioned that Monte had already hired a replacement. Curious if the show is going to eventually move Lena from Anchor Beach to another job? Glad that Robert mentioned Sophia being stalked by the guy whose house Callie broke into. I so hope that this storyline is at an end. Very pleased that the moms made the decision for Callie that they were taking the deal. Hopefully the deal doesn't fall apart for some reason. Glad that Lena mentioned Callie's senior project and college applications. I want to see more of Callie trying to move forward with her life as opposed to Detective Callie. I do hope, however, that Stef is able to uncover evidence which frees Kyle. Really do not want to see a Callie/AJ/Aaron triangle. I like AJ a lot and think that Callie treats him badly. I remember Captain Roberts as being more supportive. Interesting that she didn't want to know what Stef suspected was going on in her department. I wonder if the Callie storyline is going to culminate in Detective Stef engineering a clean-up of the Police Department? So...Brandon and the Music Girl? I did like Brandon a lot more this episode: working on music rehab with Jesus, giving Lena a break from watching Jesus. I hope that this Brandon sticks around. Did not miss Jude at all.

I had emergency abdominal surgery 3 years ago. As I watched this episode on my dvr, I kept thinking how glad I was that I had an experienced surgeon performing the complicated surgery. I know that this is a teaching hospital but, as a patient, I would rather go to a different hospital than have one of these inexperienced residents doing a solo surgery on me - particularly with someone like Minnick handcuffing the most experienced person in the OR. I hope that the parents sue the shit out of the hospital; I'm not sure that they would actually win but they should do it anyway. April telling the patient in the ICU that she was "nicer" than the patient's own doctor is so unprofessional. I can easily see why April took the job. I also think that Catherine was manipulating her placement behind the scenes because she knew that April - who had worked for everything her entire life - would not say no. Maggie's hair bugged.

Really liked Maggie/Alex - the slow pace and the limited viewing time notwithstanding. To the poster upthread, we saw Maggie doing her police job last week when she arrested Lena Luthor. I don't think it is fair to say that she doesn't have a reason for being on the show other than as Alex's love interest. How could Winn take his alien girlfriend to a hot restaurant? Are aliens such a normal part of the community there that they are interspersed into the general population? I was under the impression that many hung out in the bar because they stayed away from "regular places"? I like Mon El but since his arrival, the entire storyline has been on putting he and Kara together. I miss Cat Grant.

Is there a rule that there can only be a certain number of people on the Team at any one time? We gained Dinah - who I like - and lost Rory - who is the best of the Squinterns. Doesn't losing Evelyn count so that we can have Rory back? I like that Rene is now working for Lance.

I liked seeing the Captain's niece.

Really liked Jimmy as the Uber driver and Shannon figuring out how to make money off of him. Also liked Shannon snagging the free hotel room. Would love to see more of her. I think they have made Jimmy less dopey and more lovable since the pilot. Conversely, I liked Kenny early on but he now comes on too strong and is insufferable for me. I do think that Pat and Eileen are endgame.

Agreed

I love this and agree with all of it. This is why I so dislike the current Callie storyline. Enough already.

From TV Line: Anything happening with The Fosters‘ Callie? —Marissa You mean besides her big legal battle and potentially going to prison? An upcoming episode will find Callie getting involved with Girls United again. “Through Stef, we’re actually going to meet a new girl that gets into” the group home, executive producer Joanna Johnson previews. “We’ll go on a journey with this girl that will intertwine with Callie, as well, a bit.” The storyline also features the return of an old friend. “Daphne’s actually taken on a counselor role [at Girls United], and it’s amazing to see her progress,” star Maia Mitchell shares. “You’re going to see Callie supporting Daphne through that.”
