    In the first season, there were four nuns working as practicing midwives and nurses, but there were other nuns at evening devotionals. 

    I have been worried about these evening devotional nuns for years. Who has been feeding them? Sadly, we must assume they starved to death.

  2. I found this episode extremely disturbing. White FBI agents shoot down two Black men under the false pretense of being firefighters, on a false emergency?

    No due process for the Black man who allegedly shot the officer's partner?  And the Black man's brother, was he just collateral damage?

    A small Black boy watches his father and mother be murdered before his eyes? A young Black woman is left a widow?

    Everyone at the bar in toasting the killing of two Black men?

    How was this different from a lynching?

    So that after the loss of his wife Keifer has a close family member that can offer him comfort and advice and allow him to show the non-presidential side of the character.

    And the children's grandmother chooses to split to Europe after her daughter dies?

    Her home life must have been somewhat lacking (as in parents not around enough)  to give rise to this superficial, less-than-intelligent, raised-by-pop culture, idiot who thinks that what she is doing is laudable.

    I have wondered about this. Apparently, as a child she had no one around her who cared enough about her to correct her pronunciation and vocabulary. Could all of the her caretakers been non-English speakers?

  5. Bernard walks in to the "party room" and sees that it is set up with plastic classroom desk chairs.

    "How am I going to have sex on these?"......"Oh, I figured it out."

    (From memory, feel free to correct.)

    I am still laughing.

    Hey guys, correct me if I am wrong but isn't Stan suppose to be dead dead dead.  Didn't he die 10 or 12 years ago? How did they briing him back to life, just asking? 

    The miracle of television.

  7. I was thinking along the same lines. It has to be more complicated than just a prior relationship. Maybe they had a baby and gave it up for adoption. Or Cordova's older sister is raising it. Have I been watching too many telenovelas?

    This would have been a perfect time to let Connie tell the ladies their cooking is terrible and to never come back!

    So true. I would have loved them to have had a line such as: "Can't Connie take care of this?" I wonder how they will write her out of the series. God, I miss her.

    That mother/daughter combo would have known that they were not good cooks if their father was a chef.  They would have sent over their best sui chef..

    Swimming in the very shallow end of the pool........

    Is Debra Messing pregnant in real life or have they found the single worst stylist to dress her?

    Either her clothes are beyond strange (last week) or depressingly middle aged - this week ....and I should know as a middle aged dame!.

    Inquiring (and shallow) minds want to know.

    I remember reading years ago that Debra Messing to a challenge to dress because she is allergic to natural fibers. The costume department had to find synthetic-fibered clothes for her that still looked high-end. TMI, but this information stuck in my head because I am allergic to synthetic fibers. Believe me, I am counting my blessings now.

    What did bullying have to do with this episode, other than Benson bullying Stone? The PSA about bullying at the end of No Good Reason almost made me vomit BTW.

    I was referring to the middle-school dare game in the opening.

    @sugarplum's post^^ also explains why there was no PSA to go with this episode, which might reflect the "fake" information times in which  we live, but is in no way a reflection of anything that could actually happen IRL.

    I was looking for a PSA at the end about bullying.

    In the Cosby Show, Cliff Huxtable is a graduate of Hudson Medical School.

    The main character in The Secret Life of the American Teenager abandoned her child and baby daddy to attend Hudson U in New York. I remember thinking that it this was her second bad decision she would pay for the rest of her life, the first being unprotected sex.

    The scenes with the daughter seemed odd. I kept wondering why he was only eating dinner with one kid instead of both of his kids. 

    Yes, I felt for his son. He is at least as much at risk as the daughter is. I would hazard more so based on his age and the secrets he might hold.

    The children should have a full-time adult beyond the president living with them. Where is their grandmother? Heck, move Mike in there, he would do a great job.

    Megan, meanwhile, was over in the conservative sandbox trying to fling shit in everybody's eyes. 

    Thanks to much repetition, I know what Meghan views are on many things, but I don't know her thinking behind those views.  Why is she prolife? It is for religious or scientific reasons? Could she imagine any exception to her prolife stance? Spend your air time telling us the reasoning behind your opinions, Megan you don't have to keep telling us who your family is.

    I did appreciate that we finally got a life update on Wyatt, but I'm not sure he'd be able to sae enough money for that studio apartment--more likely he'd be in a tiny room in a house crammed with a dozen college students.  But I'm glad he's not homeless anymore.  I'd rather he and Callie connected as friends then to see him wasting his time on Mariana.

    Since Wyatt is going to Anchor Beach, wouldn't Lena or the school counselors have been aware of his financial status and lack of familial support and have stepped in to provide him services?  I would have like the plot better if Wyatt had been living with one of those dedicated male teachers.

    Weren't the Moms supposed to been on a retreat this episode? Did Grace and her mom steal their gift certificate for their own bonding spa weekend?

    Weren't we supposed to learn this episode why Stef was not happy with herself?

    Are being set up for Stef to be killed in the line of duty before the end of this series?

    Will Xiomara be deported along with her parents? 

    Where was Jesus?

    She said an ex-boyfriend had gotten a tattoo, supposedly of her face, but she said it was "in her wheelhouse" (or something to that effect).  We have "people" for exact transcriptions, LOL.

    I think she meant that the tattoo was in the ball park.

    And the therapist wore the same clothing every session? Is he for real or a figment of Kirkman's imagination?

    I thought the same thing since I am a therapist and do not get paid anywhere near $800.00 an hour.

    No, seriously, I think all those sessions were supposed to have taken place on the same day.

    Did you notice that Timothy Busfield, said therapist, also directed this episode?

    So, after 18 years, J.J. has some privacy and a space all his own. And so do Dylan and Ray -- who gets their hidden "cave", I wonder.

    I'm wondering if JJ's cave will be made more accessible - since he'd need a way to open the door.

    I had thought that the reason J.J. shared a room with Dylan and Ray was because he needed 24 -hour monitoring, in case he fell or choked or something.

    I seriously thought they were going to have Barba tell Olivia he was in love with her during his baffling speech at the end. He was all but groveling at her feet. Gross.

    Was Benson expecting to here that too when she said "and...." after his speech. Was Barba turning her down?

    Forget the name, but Allison Janney played the head of a baby food company. Apparently, her partner got money for the company through illegal means. I believe it was the Russian mob. Janney's character was honest and had no idea, but Ben made her testify about her partner or he would put her in jail for contempt or something.

    She did...and we learned at the end that when she was moving or leaving town (been a while since I saw the episode), she was killed.

    That's when Ben Stone had a final scene with Adam Schiff and resigned.

    My memory was that Stone promised her protective custody and she was killed while being transported to protective custody. The story stayed with me. Stone really pushed a decent woman to do something that she knew would kill her, and it did.  It made sense that it destroyed Stone's love for the prosecution game just like Barba's love was (more slowly) destroyed.  By the way, Alison Janey did a fantastic job. One of the few times on L&O that the most famous guest star was not the killer.

    Really, the father of the baby gets probation after, binding and confining his teenage babysitter? That girl with have emotional scars for life.

    Ana is too much of a professional and an adult to act like an immature child. She doesn’t strike me as someone who would stoop to that level. Plus, she handled what happened last week with maturity, calm and professionalism.

    I came across this quote and had an epiphany about Meagan and Ana.

    “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

    ― Maya Angelou

    Meagan argues in a way that makes others feel small. Ana elevates them, even when she is disagreeing with them.

    I am learning a lot of how to be a better friend, co-worker, and daughter from this show.

    I feel like there was an easier way to deal with the play date and lying to the moms. Just say you have plans that afternoon?

    I agree. But the line at the end by one of the moms, "Now you can return the house to the porn-star couple who live here" was worth all my second-hand embarrassment.
