Everyone who pointed out that the three "K" names must have been chosen after Rebecca and Jack knew that the third baby had died should be correct since they only met Dr. K as the babies were starting to come. Therefore, Kyle should have been associated only with the adopted baby. Unless Rebecca had come up with the 3 names on her own after the delivery, but before Jack came back and she found out that one of the babies had died. Jack was doing much better than Rebecca because he was so insistent on replacing the lost baby that it actually seemed as if it didn't matter to him who the babies were, as long as they came home with three. Rebecca realized that you can't just replace one child with another, even if you have never met the lost one, and was still in mourning for the family she had imagined.

I do agree that a mother of nursing triplets! would not be able to disappear for four hours without expressing milk, pumping or exploding. If Jack said she was missing 4 hours, that should be 4 hours since he returned from his hospital visit which included a nap, so maybe 6 hours all told, since he doesn't know when she left. Since there's no way those babies went even 4 hours without eating and they were supposedly not using formula, I will assume that Rebecca pumped earlier and left bottles for Jack. I will also assume that Jack took a carriage in his car and was able to put all 3 babies side by side to transport between car and hospital by himself. Finally, as to whether Rebecca ever told Jack about William, I think not. After they first came home from the hospital and were sitting together against the dresser shell shocked, Rebecca started to tell Jack that she had seen William when they were leaving the hospital, but he interrupted her because he assumed that she was talking about having second thoughts about Kyle.

The scene is on Facebook, but the impression they gave is that they didn't have names until after they were born, since they were named after the dr they had never met. They definitely introduced the African American baby as Kyle in the hospital. Sorry - should have watched the clip. For some reason I assumed when you said "I just watched a clip from episode 3 where they are telling Dr.K what they named the kids, Kevin, Kate, and Kyle. I wonder when Kyle became Randall instead " that you meant they were referring to what they had "named" the yet-to-be-born triplets, not the three living infants.

I assume that they still considered the dead triplet to be Kyle, so they came up with a new name for Randall. Anyway, giving him that name would have been a huge mistake. It's pretty hard to be a "replacement" child after a previous child dies, or after a stillbirth. How much harder to be "substituted in" immediately for a dead child!

I don't remember exactly, but it was something like "Black Braids." It was clearly about women's braided hairstyles.

Her manager asked her if she was free in March for a sitcom, to which Sam said "yes." The only thing she lied to her about was about the role being "best friend" instead of "lead." If she had told her "lead" perhaps Sam would have blown off other, lesser jobs in the meantime feeling there was a guaranteed payday around the corner (although presumably Sam has been in the business long enough to know better.) And Sam did check the status of the proposed job before confirming the trip with Frankie. Had the lead role still been a possibility, I'm sure the manager would have told her then.

If you were able to watch it on TV, does that mean you have a cable subscription? If so, you can watch it on the NBC website.

I think you are correct about the den although I can't picture it. Have we actually seen it? They are always on the living room couch, even during Lily's party, right?

Anthony Anderson referred to Tracee Ellis Ross as a "hybrid' on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (a term that Dre had applied to Bow in the show). In real life, I don't know if that's a cool thing to call someone who's not there to go along with the "joke."

It did bother me that as soon as Amy knew that she was going camping, she started dumping hundreds? of dollars worth of camping stuff into her shopping cart. I understand that it was meant to be a dramatic visual counterpart to dumping all those pizzas and the boxed wine in her cart when she thought she was having a solo weekend (by the way, where, exactly did she put all those frozen pizzas in the middle of her workday? in her car?) but: 1) Can't she use most of the stuff that her husband was going to take camping? 2) If he didn't have camping stuff yet, what was his plan? 3) Can they really afford all that new stuff on their limited income?

I thought that Amy's husband called her at work to say that he had tickets to something and asked her to take their daughter Emma camping instead of him doing so. Amy was obviously unhappy to lose her alone-time. It seems likely that the show is setting up a future separation between Amy and her husband, which will then lead to a "will they or won't they" between Amy and Jonah. We should take bets on when the first post-separation, immediately regretted kiss will take place.

But where would be the comedy in that!!! It would make a lot more sense since they have a huge house for 3 people and a toddler. Or whatever Joe is now Didn't Jay have to give up his den to create Joe's bedroom? And if Mitchell and Cam have a den with a couch, why did Kristen Johnston have to sleep on their expensive new living room white couch in Strangers in the Night?

I believe we've seen that Mr. Kaplan is quite skilled with a gun.

It seems like Sam doesn't even know they're there most of the time. Are we to assume that the boys are not interested in the girls except as friends? Either way, Max is extremely underdressed. I guess she gets it from Sam, who can't find the time to put on pants before the firefighters arrive, either.

Ah, thanks for the info. Well, I'll be rooting for her! But what if the actress is not all that interested in losing weight, or just isn't able to do it? I certainly hope that undergoing a gastric bypass was not a condition of her employment on this show!

The middle child, Frankie, has some sort of OCD, which I'm guessing will become a major plot point eventually. In the second episode she had to say her teacher's name a certain number of times and in this episode the hand slaps with Mel had to be an even number. Keeping those compulsions from dominating her life must take a lot of energy.

Maybe Mr. Kaplan can move to the spin-off. She'll babysit Agnes off-camera so that there are no more baby-in-distress appearances on either show. We know she's good at cleaning up, so messy diapers won't phase her.

From the WSJ review:

He also didn't shoot Dembe when he had the chance, after tussling with him on the staircase. Yeah-it's a good thing they found her car seat and properly installed it-otherwise she would have been catapulted through the rear window and Grandpa would have been mad. How come Elizabeth never said to Kirk: "I shot you when I was 4. Show me the bullet hole?"

And then Rachel would be working for her dad, after all. But would he want Mike on his payroll? I would think not.

NYT: Gina Torres On Why She Decided to Leave Suits So, kind of like her reason for leaving PSL.

Also, not sure how Tara could know who the father is, since Louis came after the first boyfriend, not before. I also don't see how the actually father can be removed from the baby's life, unless that's what he wants, but since he also proposed to Tara without even knowing she was pregnant, it doesn't seem likely.

Rachel's examination of Leonard was quite whispery. Bet she would have worn a suit had she known she'd be conducting the examination.

I believe she was dreaming. Remember, it was established that she was a child actress and it looks like her father was involved in that ("the big game"). It also sounded to me as if her mother had a British accent, which, according to Wikipedia would be accurate in her real life, along with her father's involvement in television. I guess we will be finding out about her presumably married paramour? If so, great example for the teen-aged daughter.

Cahill risking his reputation and giving up all pretense of professional ethics is exactly what Harvey did with Gallo, and Sutter was no murderer. The rest of the machinations and twists and turns are nonsense. With respect to the Innocence Project case, if a death row inmate could get a new trial due to an allegation of ineffective assistance of counsel, as a result of said counsel failing to find an unreliable defense witness, even if said counsel signed an affadavit declaring herself to have been ineffective (which is what I think happened), there would be a lot of new trials for death row inmates! I also find it extremely unlikely that an execution would be delayed due to the prisoner's desired family member being unable to attend, but I have no personal knowledge of that. It's all moot as it has been earlier pointed out that NY has no effective death penalty, as the death penalty statute was ruled unconstitutional in 2004 and in 2007 all remaining death sentences were reduced to life. There is no death row in NYS. (The federal system differs.)
