I'm looking forward to seeing how Cato ended up in his current situation. I wonder why they had to recast Patty. I like Brigid Brannagh. When I saw the scene in next week's preview of Rosalee fighting in the dirt, all I could think was, "Wow, she's come a long way from Eve's Bayou." Seriously, I wonder if young Jurnee Smollett could have even imagined having a role like Rosalee. This series is groundbreaking.

Jazz Raycole always plays bratty bitchy daughters. Her characters are always unsympathetic. I hope she gets different parts in the future. The anti-rape activist is wrong to pressure Sydney. I don't get why Noni would purposely hurt the band by giving away the music. Yes she has it in for the drum major, but Cecil is her idol. I cheered when Bo's new friends stood up for him.

I can't believe PJ actually fell for Ava's game, as if he hasn't been alive for the past 30 years.

I like Xo and Bruce, I think because they are so boring. It's the first adult relationship we've seen her have. I think Rogelio is vain, silly, and shallow, so I've never taken him very seriously. Bruce is a normal, adult man - respectful, kind, not full of himself, and grounded in reality. Xo just seems so content with him. I never saw her smile at Rogelio like that. I loved the narrator's outrage at the male "bashing." He has feelings, too, ya know.

Agreed. I can't get with the "don't discipline my kid" crowd, especially in a case like this. It wasn't a random stranger yelling at or being abusive to her child. Petra is another adult in his life. She's allowed to have some authority, especially when his behavior is affecting her children. He has little regard for his parents' attempts at discipline; maybe Petra is someone he'll actually listen to.

I liked the Orlando and Kara storyline because it was very mature. During the first scene when he was just humping away, I thought, "Wow, that's really disappointing," and I thought that was the end of him. So the fact that she talked to him about it in a kind manner, and he was actually willing to listen -- well, I'm just impressed that they went there. It's the kind of thing you read about in sex advice columns (talk to you partner, tell him what you like, etc.), but on TV and in many cases, in real life, many women either a) just dump the guy and talk shit about him, or b) suffer with bad sex for months or years. I admired both the characters for putting themselves out there, and the writers for handling the topic so well. Too bad she broke the guy at the end. I do wonder where their story is going to go, though. Kara is clearly uncomfortable with getting too close at this point in her life. I can't believe MJ thinks Lee is too metrosexual. Do people even still say that word? She is so silly sometimes. I miss Mark. I hope we see him this season.

Jennie Urman has posted a letter to fans regarding Michael's death: http://cwjanethevirgin.tumblr.com/post/156916276515/dearest-jane-fans I hope the jump means that we'll miss out on some of the angst re: Xo moving out (or not) to live with Bruce. I assumed it was their wedding, though the show does have other potential couples.

I thought the selfie girl was pretty nice. Wasn't she the one who invited MJ out for drinks in the first episode? She's young and seems a bit silly, but she's an okay person. I love Lisa Vidal, too. If they hook up Kara with Nicholas Gonzalez's character, I could watch that all day every day.

Once again, MJ is her own worst enemy. I'm beginning to wonder if she is actually good at her job. Lee has a lot of patience. I didn't think he'd come back, and frankly, I'm wondering why he did. I'm not sure she's worth the frustation she causes. "Next time, swallow ya kids, bitch" - damn! I had to watch that interview a few times. I had a hard time understanding Mercedes's accent.

Why couldn't Michael be an investigator for a law firm or for the DA's office, or a private investigator? That seems like an easier solution than going to law school when you already are living on a budget.

Neicy got $150,000. I don't think her dad knows that she bought the car - he only commented on her seeing Dante, and told her not to give him any money. He would have blown a gasket if he'd known she spent 1/3 of the money on a car for her sometime-y boyfriend. When they were at the dealership, all I could say was, "Oh, Neicy," and shake my head. Even the salesman tried to get her to consider buying something else. I'm hoping for a scene where Patrick and Neicy go to Dante's house to get the keys back. Things with Ronda took a turn quickly. I thought Kara was being overeager, but in essence she was right.

I just rewatched that scene because I wasn't fully paying attention the first time. I can't believe he spit in her face like that. I don't see Nova and Calvin lasting, either. The antipathy of his friends? The label of "homewrecker" that she'll be forced to wear, justified or not? I don't see Nova staying for that. On a happier note, I'm so glad that Too Sweet got the chance to leave town. I hope all goes well with him.

I was amazed at how quickly Calvin's friend went from gentlemanly flattery to sexual assault. I could see him being pissed at Nova, but to go from anger to ass grabbing was like, damn, really? Totally plausible, but disturbing nonetheless. Charley was all kinds of wrong. I'm glad Davis and Remy both saw right through her. ETA: I understand Charley's motivations, and I admire her acumen, but she is lying to and manipulating so many people that I can't side with her methods.

Yeah, Vi's being pretty silly at this point. They are tiptoe-ing around her because of her anger, and too many things are being left unsaid. I'm hoping that now she'll have to grovel to get Hollywood back. The only good thing about that storyline is that golden, tipsy conversation between RA and Hollywood. One of my favorite things about the way Southerners talk is that they use a lot of affirmations of truth. RA and Hollywood used four in just six sentences: "You right 'bout dat," "Ain't nobody say you ain't," "Now ain't that the truth," "You ain't lyin'". I LOVED it. Charley is cold. I don't want Calvin to come back. Okay, he left his wife. That doesn't make their life together disappear. What about his kids? I hope he's focusing on them, too, instead of just trying to get Nova back. I really liked Roberta this time. "He gon' buy us dranks."

I was wondering this, too. It looked quite spacious. For a second, I thought they were back at the hotel. I knew Catalina was no damn good when she brought arepas to dinner. Who brings a dish to a non-potluck dinner party? Rude. Why didn't she bring some of that awesome wine (eyeroll)?

Uggh. So Ms. Velez is looking longingly and jealously at Ralph Angel and Darla. Don't worry, girl, you ain't missing a thing. He's a hot mess. The way Ralph Angel says Remy's name cracks me up every time I hear it.

Thanks, Bwill3133. That makes sense. I agree that the assistant is somehow involved in the murder.

I'm confused. I thought the assistant said that Neil was caught having sex with Melanie. Was she just mistaken or did he have sex with both Melanie and Amanda?

When the family's history of the farm was told, my first thought was that they should go ahead and sell it. Ask for much more money, but still sell. I get the impulse to dig in their hills and to avenge their ancestors, but frankly, I think forcing the Boudreaux family to buy back the land is revenge enough. Are they going to work and/or stress themselves to death when none of them *really* wants this farm? That plan of action didn't work so well for their father. They all have other options, and that money will give them even more options.

I'm so glad that scene with Xo happened. Not just because she explained the virginity-identity connection for Jane, but because it showed that Jane, even as an adult, still needed a sex talk from her mom. She didn't fully understand what it meant to be in a sexual relationship. As much as she likes to be prepared for everything, I'm surprised she didn't talk to Xo about it before her wedding night. Also, for once, Xo gets to be the one giving the best advice.

I'm beginning to not like any of the Bordelon family members, except Blue. I'm waiting for Remy to get tired to Charley's ignorant stubbornness and lack of consideration, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Who are we supposed to be rooting for again on this show? Me, too. It's a pet peeve of mine for parents (or older relatives) to dictate their adult children's behavior because of the parents' worrying. I get it, she was concerned, but Nova is an adult who has free will, and it isn't her responsibility to stop doing something helpful just to calm Violet's mind. Her worrying and incessant calling accomplished nothing, other than being an irritation. Don't even get me started on her willingness to kick Darla out when a hurricane was coming.

I thought Frank abandoning Bonnie was done out of concern for her. His life is pretty much in shambles - why would he want to drag her down with him? His talk about running away was just fantasy and Bonnie knew it. Even if she went along with it at that moment, I think deep down she knew he'd run away again.

The woman sweeping wasn't Tisha Campbell (aka Gina). She was Paula Jai Parker, who herself has been in a lot of different roles. Based on the conversation between Wes and Laurel, and his comment that he was sick of lying to Meggy, it's possible that they have already had sex, and we just didn't see it. I didn't like Asher repeatedly mocking Michaela, mostly b/c it's another example of Asher being a tool. The thing that bothers me most about him is that he acts goofy and says stupid things all the time, and then when someone calls him on it or says they don't take him seriously, he acts all wounded. I really didn't like the president giving in to Annalise's lawsuit threat so easily. Their confrontation last week was so great. I like it when people stand up to Annalise. Viola Davis killed it in the bathroom scene. It was refreshing to see AK admit that Nate was too good to her. That poor man deserves better. It's unfortunate for him that he loves her so much.

This show is playing with my emotions. That last scene with Hollywood and Violet killed me. They have to make up. Poor Micah was having a day. He was probably thinking, "Is there any man in this family who isn't shady?" He had a every right to be mad at Charley for reprimanding him for leaving the house, but I did lol at her "Oh no you didn't" look when he asked which home he should come to. Charley's ponytail had a life of its own. I'm so cynical that I thought she might snap on Remy for all his feel-good, "don't let them kill your spirit" talk at the farm. He's being nice and supportive, but he's also clearly into her. I second Blue's cuteness. I did not like imagining baby Blue being present while his mom was turning tricks. Now I see why they all hate her so much.

I was so upset that she didn't get to eat. If I were Van, I might have been more upset about the food than about the ugly guy. I did love, though, that she walked out. That's something that I would do.
