In today’s e-filing world, sure. But what about during the years of mailing everything in on paper? I wonder if any repeats or fake numbers were written off to operator error in earlier technology days. Remember the days of multiple IRS processing centers for sending off returns? Then again, the IRS was able to convict Capone when bootlegging couldn’t: maybe they beat Geraldo to the vaults…..

Is the IRS that quick to find bigamy? They’re so slow to find people working W2 jobs with phony Social Security numbers. And even my county is slow to find fraudsters: there are property owners who claim the homeowners exemption on multiple houses, even the ones they rent out in a clear violation of the statute, but no one seems to check.

Cliques are in big cities too - there are just more of them. And more wannabes. Sometimes I wonder who does more damage: the mean girl or the wannabe sucking up to her. This behavior isn’t gender-particular, but my own experience hasn’t involved males.

We can leave high school, but some mean girls and their acolytes never graduate to fully-formed humans.

What scares me about the whole Betsy Faria murder case is how quickly everyone was to suspend their own disbelief in the face of the loudest voice, one speaking words that can’t hold up against questions. The only thing in favor of such words is the fact that it saves the listener from exercising judgment in the first place. But then the listeners will go through such logical contortions to justify the loud nonsense later. Critical thinking skills are lost. Our society reacts first, and thinks much later, if at all. How many other Russ Farias are there? And how many Pam Hupps?

I wish there were waffles with vanilla for my breakfast….. I’m starting to wish the B&B was real.

How awkward and ignominious. Richard Marx was enjoyable, definitely the highlight of the episode. But have the writers ever been outside of California? No one plans outdoor wedding in March in Philadelphia. I miss Pops!

I’m with everyone else glad to see this show back! And both stories were personally relevant: like Sam, I delayed something web-related; when the bad news came, there was a Flower-equivalent as a comfort. Now if only there was a live storyteller to replace my tv…… The side conversations were hilarious, especially all the maybes and Hetty’s response to Trevor

I forgot about Paul! Thanks for the reminder. But why can’t the second chair work with a female lead? Now that I think of Robinette, it would be good to have him as DA. Nothing against Waterston, but why isn’t McCoy retired?

21st century attitudes everywhere is one thing, but why is the lead prosecutor always a male? Why can’t we see a male legal second banana?

GRAMMAR MATTERS! ”her and Dr Schwarz will just have to….” Didn’t anyone on the show get past third grad?!?!?! No scriptwriter, director, editor or cast member hear the mistake, or even care?

What is the point of this show? EVERYONE is unlikeable. I feel like bingeing Hallmark channel Christmas movies to balance the hours spent watching the various degrees of malice on this show.

I hope the team from last night did find Susan Powell (I didn’t see the ending), not just for her family but because it is even more heartbreaking if a second, still unknown person was left behind.

Just remember your potholders! By episode 5, I sarcastically predicted the killer. Really surprised to be right.

I’m not sure he did it, only because: 1) I’ve seen a pipe hit a car in a similar matter (but the car was parked and empty at the time, and the pipe was not as long as the one in this case). No one was injured at the time, although a sore throat developed later, after repeated phone calls with insurers. 2) If he had planned it, he’d have a better story. The weakness of his explanations is bizarre, but is that damning?

In the movie, Captain Gregg went to London with Mrs Muir. It would be nice if the ghosts could travel, if only for Trevor to discover a total lack of Blockbusters and Circuit City stores among modern retailers. But, to me, this episode reflected the smaller gatherings demanded by COVID protocols. No bridesmaids, no guests, no extra staff to serve at the wedding? The Hollywood extras that would have been in the background 3 years ago are missed.

If it was in the episode, I missed it: who died first, Hetty or Elias?

That was my first thought too! If the ages were switched around, no one would be amused by the statutory rape. This scenario is disturbing.

Unless the senior year is extended yet again.

With all the Kreese flashbacks, I was expecting him to be revealed to be Johnny’s father. Was really surprised the concealed news was her death in a car accident and not a baby.

Could June have sued Meemaw for the money? From the Judge Judy school of law: since gambling is illegal, June would not have had the clean hands necessary to bring suit. Will this kind of argument get me appointed to the bench?

Croquet mallets are versatile! Phyllis is the best!

With the rest of the show? The plots are recycled, and the actors seem tired. Odd that it appears the least-objectionable on-screen character is, allegedly, the opposite off-screen.

If I were in the academy, I’d vote for Jay for an Emmy based on the first 5 minutes I can’t remember the last show where someone’s physical comedy seemed so effortless! An unnatural plot device, he made it seem so natural.

I get what you’re saying, but wouldn’t turn down the opportunity to test that theory firsthand. Was weighing going to the theater to see the movie, but the episode persuaded me to read the book instead. Did anyone else find the cages in the courtroom eerie?
