I don't think the father would be an asshole for bringing this up in court. It would be the smart thing to do. He should have called his attorney as soon as the cops left his office. She played herself -- the false accusation and sending cops to his workplace might be considered worse than misplacing the kid. On the other hand, I do understand that her panic caused her to overreact. But she gave her husband something to use against her, whether he chooses to do so or not.

Another thing with the lost kid at the mall: since the police came to his office asking about his son, now the dad can use that as ammo in their custody battle, which he will if he's as nasty as the mom claims he is.

That scene was such nonsense that it made me angry. Honestly, I wouldn't even think to immediately call 911 for that. You don't look yourself first and contact mall security? Ask people nearby? I was also pissed at the older kids for completely ignoring their brother. Yes, I know it happens. It was still annoying. Why on earth would Chimney show a ring to a tiny kid like Jee? She has no understanding of its value. It's pretty, and of course, she'll see it as a toy. Worse case, she could swallow it. ETA – I used to get tonsil stones. They were yuck. I had small tonsils and kept getting them. I had my tonsil removed on my doctor's recommendation.

I was excited because she was the same actress who played Tonya on Everybody Hates Chris.

Her goodbye was in episode 8. Most of her interaction in that ep was with Anthony and Nikki. They did have a party for her, though.

I really like Damion. He's cool and he's cute, and I like how much he hypes Sherm.

Telma Hopkins is an OG who should get more accolades. She's been around forever, and she consistently gets new work. I see her doing guest and supporting roles all the time.

Does she have other projects going on? She was already missing from 2 earlier episodes, so Fay will have appeared in only 6 of the season's 10 episodes.

He is. I'm not convinced of his new girlfriend's motives. I think she's a honeypot. Even though she offered to quit his campaign, she's going to have even more access to his life and his work as his girlfriend. She can do more damage to the family that way. I'm not sure if Daphne's father is playing her or his son. Either way, the son's going down because Daphne has had enough of his smug ass. If the father is playing her, he might be going down, too.

The one thing that all of America can get on board with? The only true answer is Dolly Parton.

I really hope they don't bring that clown couple back ever again. I'm glad they got their comeuppance, but they are ridiculous and seeing them three times was too much. Glad to see Marjan getting past her ex.

"Apparently I'm a zaddy."

As soon as they showed that they had killed the entire family, I immediately thought of the Pike County case.

Pritchard Sr. could win a petty contest. He wanted to sell the Daily because it wasn't making enough money. Now he's bought another paper for even more money just to get back at his son. What a ridiculous man.

I think Austin's ex-wife's justifications for why they should all move to Chicago were very reasonable (minus the dig about the gun violence). There will be more opportunities available, and it will be nice for his son to grow up near family. Austin's reasons for staying-- a job at a struggling paper and a new not-quite girlfriend -- aren't strong by comparison.

She left before she got deported. That entire storyline was kind of silly and slapped together. None of that would happen so quickly IRL.

Agreed. She was bugged because Anthony was very engaged with Fay, texting her in her absence. I think Talia overreacted, since neither Anthony nor Fay had ever acted on their feelings and didn't show any movement in that direction. It was messy only in the sense that it made Talia insecure about their relationship, and she didn't want to deal with that, which is understandable.

Dr. Marcel is so incredibly gracious. He refuses to say anything bad about Dr. Tanaka-Reed even when you just know he's cursing him in his head. IMDB says that Liliana is played by Alet Taylor.

It was weird seeing him with a mustache. I just saw him in an episode of 911: Lone Star from last year. His hair was longer and curly, which made him almost unrecognizable from Third Watch.

I saw his name in the credits, and I completely forgot about it. Wow, I didn't even recognize him in the role.

I kept thinking that the older woman at the courthouse looked familiar. It turns out that the actress played Nurse Haleh on ER.

All we know about her is that she was a dirty cop, and I think in the first episode, they implied that Will was responsible for taking her and some other corrupt officers down. Me three. Faith had a lot of chemistry with the fugitive, but I hope he doesn't actually call her when he gets out. I thought Faith was going to use the kids phone to call Will, but since she's smarter than me, she used a more convincing technique to get him to give her his phone.

That walk was really cute. Plus, it was funny that Anthony wore that jacket just to walk down the hall, and then take it off at the door. Yes, there was that episode when Faye set Sherm up with her cousin through an elaborate plot by having him date the cousin's roommate first. For reasons that I cannot explain, it just now occurred to me that the Nikki character and actress have the same name.

This happens more than you'd think. It's an effective tactic for getting a confession, truthful or not. It makes no sense that there was no scene nor any mention of Gabriel getting therapy when he was so clearly struggling. Pritchard is turning out to be more of a mensch than he seemed at first. I hope his father doesn't completely sink him financially.

I'm glad that Carlos Gomez played Nell's dad. I still sometimes mix up the titles of Ugly Betty and Jane the Virgin, so Tony Plana playing Gina's dad would have just added to my confusion.
