I think it was too soon after the wedding for them to be together. It would have just compounded the scandal. If they'd waited a few weeks or months before being together openly, people would still talk, but maybe it wouldn't matter as much. I agree. Why blow up Eloise's and her family's whole existence? They had to create drama, I suppose.

Oh my goodness, that office couple was stressing me out! Glad one of them finally made a move and that she survived her fall.

That's her right-hand man, Brimsley. I'm not sure what his official title is -- I've seen him called her secretary and her butler.

I'm binging this show now on Hulu. That fight scene was brutal. I know this is petty, but it bugged me that Athena's hair still looks perfect as she was being rolled away. I know it's a wig, but they should have messed it up to add some realism.

Me too. It was so obvious that she didn't fit in with the family. I was hoping that she would either see that clearly or get scared off.

I want Pops to get some backstory or home life or something. He's the only character we don't know about outside of work.

My favorite moment came at the end when Ava said that her boyfriend had been dating her longer than she'd been dating him. Janine and Gregory awkwardly cute with each other, but I agree that she's not ready to be in a new relationship. I'm awkward about clothes and men in the way that Janine is. I wish I had a little of Ava's confidence in me.

Barbara's daughter broke up with him bc he didn't make enough money. She sent a text to Barbara about him being a "broke boi." The new girlfriend is the mom who put her number in his Halloween candy.

WTF did Luke hesitate to shoot Sikes? He'd already shot at Luke before. There was no reason why he wouldn't do it again. I haven't liked Amy since last season. She's wronged Mark many times. I hope he drops her.

It's unbelievable that Jen has the audacity to threaten Perez when Perez is the only person keeping her out of prison.

Pritchard learned the hard lesson but necessary lesson that not only is Eileen not interested in him romantically, but she will also use any and all means in service of her job. Being a reporter isn't just her job; it's her identity. I don't get why he invited her to the gala in the first place when she shut him down so strongly after the kiss. Also, given how a supposed ethical violation is what sent her to Alaska in the first place, why would she risk her job by dating him? He should know better.

It was odd that they showed her moving on so quickly after the suicide. I can't remember if there was a time jump or not in the final moments, but I would have hoped to see her do some sort of reflection on how the incident with Damon could have been avoided had she acted more ethically in their initial interactions.

I thought of him as awkward more than creepy. If the show continues, I hope he and the officer end up dating. Nice of them to leave a cliffhanger. I'm not mad at the friend for dispensing with her husband.

I know. I feel bad for saying that. I'm not sure who it is now. Everyone on this show is shady except Daniel and Krystal. Some of my favorite moments on the show are the little Black cultural moments that confuse the non-Black characters. Like when Jax and Krystal used the phrase "been done," and Daniel was confused, then tried and failed to use it correctly. In the last episode it was "All skinfolk ain't kinfolk" in front of Rich, who looked bewildered.

So Damon's been pining after Jax for 16 years and seems to have no awareness that she was not doing the same. She has a whole family. The fact that he has any degree of jealousy is beyond the pale. She needs to stay far away from him, and he needs some therapy.

I think Tariq is lying about having a girlfriend. I saw it is as feeble attempt to make Janine jealous. Who else would want him?

That's what I'm thinking, or at the very least, he physically abused her. I'm surprised Jax never told Lewis what happened. And if that is what Paul did, then her mother is triply wrong for butting into Jax's marriage. She has no standing to tell anybody anything.

She dated Will previously. Archer didn't meet her until she came back this season, and he didn't want her to work there at first because of her past drug abuse. He gave her a hard time for a while, but then she proved herself and he backed off. So Vanessa is going to quit just like that? Why the do all the doctors at this hospital just decide to leave at the drop of a hat with no notice? And why are they getting rid of all their cast? The show changed for the better starting last season and they've gotten rid of all the new people. Ugh, April and Ethan are back together? I'm not up for that dysfunction again.

Janine is dressing better now. Her clothes fit a lot better. The outfit she was wearing when she was packing Tariq's stuff was really cute.

I'm wondering if his reaction is supposed to be a clue that he is the serial killer. He seems to be aroused by it. Super creepy.

Damon is getting on my nerves. Jax stated very clearly what she wants and what she can give him, and he thinks he can fuck her into changing her mind? Her life is completely different from when they met 16 years ago, and he seems to have no respect for that. He's crossing all kinds of boundaries. If he gets hurt from their relationship, it will be his own fault. I'm willing to take bets that security guard guy will end up being the kidnapper from the show opening.

I was chuckling at the way that Gregory was standing while he was talking to Amber. He was leaning on the wall at almost a 45° angle. I wasn't sure if he was trying to be smooth or trying not to stand too close to her.

The credits said Victoria Hoffman.

Yes, nice to see Leslie Odom, Jr.! The actor who plays Tariq is really good. He plays a charming loser so effortlessly. I thought Tariq was making up a girlfriend just to make Janine jealous. Janine's friend spoke the truth about breaking up in a public place. If my parents had done that, I wouldn't be here 😁

I can't remember for sure, but she might be the woman who Luke was flirting with after Paige went missing.
