This is how you tell a story! Despite the (minor) flaws in acting and story, I am eagerly awaiting the final episodes. I don’t remember which movies won awards 40 years ago, but I’m still watching the Karate Kid universe decades later.

Not much. The whole episode screams “desperation”

Didn’t Trevor use Enron as one of his stock tips? That bankruptcy was 20+ years ago. How long do dogs live?

And wouldn’t Missy and Sheldon get Social Security benefits for a deceased parent?

But Missy already made plans that would have comforted her. Mary was putting herself first only because Missy was taken care of.

The Black Swan: once again, this is a case where I don’t sympathize with the defendant. The claim that he killed his first wife went too far. After that, everything she said was even more questionable.

Having only read about the Karen Read trial, I thought there was a lot of reasonable doubt in the case. Having watched Friday’s episode and listening to her, she’s lucky her lawyer confused some jurors. I sympathize with defendants often, but not now: it was the showing-her-father-the-cracked-tail light-after-the-suicide-watch-release-in-the-middle-of-a-blizzard explanation that did it. Of everything going on, checking the car is strange.

I’m probably much older than many of you in this forum, so that means I’ve probably seen more soap operas. If this follows soap formula #843-4, Kreese is Johnny’s father. That’s been my prediction for a few seasons, and this episode adds to my theory.

Search for the clip of Eli’s reaction to his brother scoring a touchdown in whatever Super Bowl. That is worth remembering, and I don’t follow sports - just sibling rivalries.

Superficial of me, but it was a welcome change that it wasn’t the spouse this time.

Ever watch 30 Rock? You and those writers have something in common.

Thanks for posting this. I hadn’t read it before. There’s an awkwardness to the writing compared to his previous works. Maybe the whole Swan fallout distracted some people from talking about the lack of quality in this piece. It reads like bad pulp fiction. Capote wrote some impactful and beautiful prose; this is not good.

I loved the comments about 1) opening the window first and 2) just unplugging it. The tv dialogue echoed my family room chit-chat.

Apologies are done for the benefit of the person making the apology? My definitions and worldviews are obviously out of sync with….everything, apparently.

All the predictions about George and Sheldon’s knocking are fulfilled. There are still unexplained scenarios, but you can tell the end approaches
