This is something that I dislike about the show, when the characters are stupid, or behave in a stupid fashion, simply for the sake of a joke. I was confused why Bruce was doing the exam. Isn't he a surgeon?

I think it was renewed for another season. I felt bad for the cat.

He definitely has the best hair.

Yes, you knew that was coming. Though I wouldn't trust a word Sinatra says. On the positive side, I thought Julianne Nicholson did a great job showing Sinatra falling apart in the face of a direct challenge, and really showing just how vulnerable and weak the character is when cornered by things she can't control. I also rolled my eyes at the entire take down plan being a weird tribute to Die Hard. Brooklyn 99 had a variation/running joke as to Die Hard across its seasons, and this just felt like a rip off. Also a big eyeroll at Xavier's daughter, of course, not following the plan, and easily falling into enemy hands. And I get that Jane is a killer and is supposedly a bad ass assassin, but it is so hard to take her seriously. The actress plays her cover like she is at the maturity level of a very young teenager. That might disarm people, but it would be hard to believe she could be in the Secret Service.

They aren't. The site apparently has a list of forbidden words and can't differentiate between the last name of the actress and a racist term. It's dumb.

I expected Greg to be alive. He left before all the mayhem of last season. I am more curious if he is on the run, or got away with his crime. Tonya's assistant did escape last season and while she doesn't know everything, she knows enough to at least see Greg investigated and perhaps charged. That's presuming that she wasn't too frightened to come forward. The way it was played, I presumed Saxon was grooming his brother for a sexual encounter.

Yes, when the actress and the other women were praising one another, and then they suddenly seemed to realize Carrie c**** was also there and offered her some faint praise about her job and daughter, you could kind of feel her deflate.

My only thought was that older son apparently wants to have sex with his siblings. That whole scene with he and his brother in the bedroom, what the hell was that?!? Where is this even going? In fairness, all the kids have beds this time around and I don't mind two siblings sharing a room. That first season, they put one of the kids in the bar area to sleep. It was bizarre. I do like the girl's trip. So much tension there that I can't wait to watch it just explode into chaos. I also see why they brought Belinda back now.

This. What she did with both the daughter and the father were just variations on what she has been doing all shift. She thinks she knows best, rushes ahead to do something based on what essentially is her own arrogance and it suddenly is an open question as to whether she's hurting or helping.

I don't remember my last experience in a New York courtroom, but I don't think it is uncommon for the court officer to be armed. I don't know how it works for police officers who are in court to testify, or for other reasons.

Didn't love the episode. It felt like a rejected SVU script. I had real trouble believing the daughter's video was going to come in at the dad's trial. The allegations she made in the video were explosive (presumably uncorroborated?) and would have prejudiced the jury against the father well beyond the point of whatever probative value it had. Also, she obviously was not under oath when she made her statement and could not be crossed on it. I know the mom confirmed the abuse was happening later in the episode, but at that time, all it would have been was just allegations with no real support. I did wonder about that. They kind of yada yada'ed past a bunch of stuff in the episode.

It was a sad episode. Between his lawyer and Stone, the kid was convinced he was irredeemable. The kid had serious psychological problems, even if he knew what he was doing when he killed the other kid (and obviously had a history of violence). It was the kind of case where I hope the judge accepted the plea, but changed the terms of the sentence to where he was significantly punished for what he had done, but there was still some hope for him.

I was wondering that too. Joyce was talking about the VIP room as though it was something new, but I thought it was introduced in an earlier episode. I was curious if people have actually been to hospitals where the ER staff tried to upsell them with unnecessary procedures? I would think that kind of thing could get a real hospital into a lot of trouble.

I had completely forgotten that he and Julianne Nicholson were regulars on Ally McBeal almost 25 years ago where they played a couple!

Haven't they been down there for years at this point? I find it hard to believe he's been able to keep the dog a secret all this time. And the scientists were killed, not because they found the world was not as dead as it was made out to be, but because they found someone and tried to bring her back with them. I would guess that means there are lots of survivors out there.
