For those who wish to see RW in a different role, absolutely see "Freeway" in (the real) 1997. She's amazing in it. I think it's my fave or her movies.

Because that's what teens do.  They have to show off that they own the latest trendy thing.  Teen Kate probably slept with her choker!  I don't recall, is it the same one or different choker necklaces she's been wearing?

I feel that as a teen, certain things become part of your identity. I remember in the 90s Doc Martens boots were *the* thing at my school, and some girls wore them every day, in any kind of weather, with any kind of outfit. I probably would have too if my parents had been able to afford Doc Martens.

Agree! To clarify, I'm snarking on TPTB, not the character. 🙂

I think the ones they have the character wear are similar if not the same.

Shallow nitpick that's been driving me crazy for a long time...

I get that choker necklaces were popular in the 90's (guilty!) but why does pre-teen/teen Kate have to be wearing one AT ALL TIMES? In every single scene she's in. I don't think I've seen her without one. Even while she's just lounging around. It's THE 90's! Got it!

Ahhh, I feel better now.

It's a long shot but I wonder if Randall is upset with Kevin because of his bond with Tess.. re the coming out on social media. He looked kind of shocked at the news.

I was worried that when Tess came out to the drive thru person, that the person would be a classmate and it would backfire. But I was wrong and it worked out nicely.

Loved the funny moments...

Jack and Nicky ditching Thanksgiving... How Jack dropped the pie on the porch, rang the doorbell and ran.

Present day Nicky wanting to go on the road trip with Randall

Nicky: "It'll give me a chance to get to know Russell"

Randall: "Randall"

Nicky: "See?"

The episode's writers must be under 35.

I'm in my mid 40's and stuff like this sticks out to me too. Especially slang usage. Such as the first scene when Rebecca and Jack were talking about having a family pool day and Rebecca says, "Right??" more than once. It is rooted in the phrase, "I know, right?" which I'm pretty sure wasn't a thing in the 90's. But I could be wrong...

Re Tess haircut and hat in the mirror scene. I took it as excitement. I thought it sounded like she gasped when she put the hat on as if she finally has the look she wants and is growing into herself? I could be way off..

I laughed out loud when Maddie and Celeste were talking about Celeste not remembering that the bartender was still at the house when ML returned... Maddie said that ML should have called or texted first because who just barges in? As ML barges in to their conversation.

I had a very different idea of what may be happening to baby Angela. I thought that Naomi was secretly poisoning her to "escape" motherhood and that the expert Dr. would happen to discover it. Then what? But I was way off.
