I love all the snark here for this cheesetastic show. As far as the ultrasound goes, instead of Chris Harrison's face, I would have have loved to seen Bentley's head pop up. Now that would be good TV! This show is so formulaic and strange. Why is it so hard to quit watching?

Milz: The log-splitter suicide attempt still baffles, because I'm guessing the wounds would be long smashed up skull gashes (sorry for the gross imagery), but hitting him with a block of wood would cause an indentation of some sort. So, even if the police understood it was suicide, they'd still have to investigate the type of wounds and the timing of the wounds and ultimate death. I see nothing but trouble for Gillian here after the forensic results. So, why was there no complete investigation? Wouldn't the whole incident make the police terribly suspicious? By the way, I loved your sitcom observations. How apt! Brattinella: I looked up some Google images of log-splitters and had to cover my eyes. Just the thought brings shudders! SonofaBiscuit: I agree with everything you (and others) said about Celia. She's a real sanctimonious shit stirrer and I fear for that new blended family as long as she tries to steer the ship. Some people just have to cause trouble. Sad that!

Hi everyone. I'm dipping my toes in this thread, and want you all to know that I deeply enjoy your insights and thoughtful posts -- great food-for-thought! I agree with you all about Celia. Gossips like her have a mean streak, and she'd better watch it while she's nurturing her new marriage or she could lose all those new relationships. What does she get out of being the town crier? I too am baffled as to why Gillian told her harrowing tale to John (of all people!) or to anyone else, for that matter. What I really want to know if this: Why is her story and Alan's story conflicting? That means one of them is lying. Watching someone die and not calling an ambulance and not doing everything possible to save him is bad enough, but in Alan's version, she bludgeoned the guy. That's cold blooded murder, no matter what her original intentions. Why do their versions differ? Who's right, who's lying and why are they lying? Also, if he was bludgeoned, wouldn't the police immediately investigate his death as a murder? I'm so confused? Any ideas?
