Yeah, I have to think she gave him an epic takedown that he would not soon forget. I did like the episode, particularly Cutter taking down the perp on the stand after she tried to claim the Judge had coerced her into sex. I also was amused at seeing one of Peter Scanavino's pre-Carisi appearances on the mothership. It's strange to hear him speaking without the Carisi accent.

I half-believe they convinced Angela Bassett to guest star for this show by telling her they would have her do a mini-montage of Athena trying on gowns. This is like the very late term pregnancy woman who was somehow allowed on the gay cruise. Transplant girl is obviously very ill. How was someone with her health history allowed on the ship?

I'm sure it's a ratings thing. L&O has been doing the ripped from the headlines storylines since the beginning. Who can forget the first season where Cynthia Nixon was a female Bernie Goetz? I'll defend Nolan a little, if only because the Judge in the case made such absurd rulings and stacked the deck so heavily for the defendant.

I don't know who "most" are, but I think that's more of a tv and movie trope (think Superman finding Lois Lane's dead body after she is buried alive, letting out a guttural yell, then immediately turning back time to erase the event) than anything else. It's obviously entirely possible it might not be Belinda, but I don't think anyone, aside from Zion, with dark hair can be ruled out at this point.

He looks terrified and tries to get away from the body as bullets are flying. That seems like a pretty normal reaction (i.e. shock and self preservation), even if the body was that of a beloved parent. How is he supposed to be reacting?

Why do we know that? I looked back at the opening scene from the first episode, all we see is someone face down with dark hair floating in the water. You can't see their skin color, and they may possibly be wearing a shirt similar to the White Lotus uniform Belinda wears.

Having "sex" with both brothers can mean a lot of different things. Given how he just kind of appeared in her path this episode, and it was super creepy, I'd tell her to avoid being alone as much as possible. Thailand does have an extradition treaty with the US. I'm also not sure if Tim has access to the kind of funds he would need to completely start over with a new identity.

Saxon wasn't being called soulless because of his lifestyle or background. He was called soulless because of his behavior and personality. I don't think that Chelsea appears to be a party girl undercuts her message.

I presume Kate feels guilty because she kind of started the feud by telling Laurie what happened. Jaclyn didn't help by lying when confronted. Things probably would have cooled down instantly if she had just admitted to what she had done (not that she tried to encourage Laurie to have sex with Valentin, but she really wanted him for herself, but that she did sleep with the guy). I'm not sure what Greg is up to (either murder or perhaps he will offer Belinda a payoff to go away), but I'm glad Belinda got out of there as quickly as possible.

Loved Executive Manager Trixie taking on the board, and am glad we finally seem to be done with the "Nonnatus House might be shut down!" storylines. I just couldn't with the spina bifida parents. I get that having a child with a birth defect can be terrifying. You don't know what could happen and the challenge can feel overwhelming. That their first move was to abandon the kid was just too much for me. In a way, it might be a blessing, if only because that baby deserves parents and/or a guardian who will love her.

Is that right? In Episode 3, I thought they named the abandoned spina bifida baby "June," because she was born in that month.

"You are sleeping with him, aren't you?" That was followed by Claire's stunned silence. It was the line that caused a million fans to all scream at the same time! I understand they can't just have everyone in the DA's office agree on such a hot and loaded topic, but Hugh Dancy seems to struggle at times to make his line readings work. Sometimes, it feels like Nolan is about to burst into tears, other times he acts completely clueless about how his case is playing.

I like when the show nods to their very long history together, even I thought less of Finn when he then ran off his mouth to the newer cast members, not saying what Olivia's issue was, but making it clear she had a big secret.

I had just finished watching the show on Hulu. As a show, is Reba all that great? No. The show could be wildly inconsistent, and by the end, I wondered why Kyra and Jake were even still on the show, and where they buried the bodies of Henry and Elizabeth. However, Reba McEntire has the kind of charisma that can elevate average material. She's also helped by Melissa Peterman's and Steve Howey's comedy skills. Even for a very silly show, I really did appreciate the show's attitude about family, and how things evolved between Reba and Barbara Jean.

Was Sophia Bush ill when she filmed the episode? Her voice sounded so hoarse. And I can't even with Ben. Dude, your wife is essentially warning you that you are jeopardizing your job. Listen to her when she says you need to get with the program and start doing what you are told by your superiors. Instead of listening, he responds like a petulant child announcing he'll do what he wants. Finally, get a divorce or open your marriage, Teddy and Owen. It's like every episode is just rinse and repeat as to how bad a couple they are.

In fairness, I don't think the protocol they have is specific to shootings. It would be for any mass casualty event, like a fire, train derailment, explosion, etc.

"You're here!" - Heart melts. And Javadi with her mom! I've seen my mother make the same face that Javadi's mother made at her when Javadi told her to read the f-ing room. That's the "I can't kill you here, but be prepared to discuss this at home," look.

I don't know that it works like that. I'm not even sure Ava has teaching credentials, and given her attitude towards actual work, I don't think she would make a good teacher. How would he have known there was an audit going on?

It's funny. I had the same thought, even though her role in that movie was that she was against her daughter participating in the choir.

Honestly, I'm a little mixed on this because she did what she was accused of doing by the district. Sure, she made it so the teachers wouldn't go down with her, which is a kind gesture, but it's not like her punishment is unjust. I think they said the teachers would only be suspended. That was why Ava took the blame, because she thought she'd only be suspended. Instead, as an administrator, she was fired.

Was the lawyer a hospital lawyer or Richard's personal lawyer? I thought it was his own lawyer.

I liked her shutting down the board guy, but he was also right. Her behavior in going to confess she screwed up to Dixon's widow was reckless and impulsive. She could have set up herself and the hospital up for a giant lawsuit.

So there was a mass casualty and the hospital's protocol was to rely on an intern to tell them what to do because he had combat experience as a medic? And were none of the patients triaged in the field? It felt like they were just taking everyone first come, first serve, regardless of need. I'm also thinking the guy they brought back after being down for 45 minutes is going to have serious deficits, if he is able to function at all. So is Richard gone forever? I don't see how the character could ever come back from this. And honestly Amy, just take a job at another hospital. None of these people are worth all this drama.

I didn't think the problem was Shue. I know it's an issue that has been addressed in the past by the production team (and they said if they had known there would be a sequel, Jennifer would not have been in the Delorean at the end of the first movie), but the writers were never able to get past that and the movie suffered for it. On the positive side, I did like the general concept of the future and what the writers of the late 1980s imagined 2015 would be like. Like in a lot of cities, formally run down areas of downtown Hill Valley are spruced up (for example, the parking lot that was in front of the clock tower in 1985 had been turned into a lovely looking park area with a man made lake by 2015).

I can't even imagine what Lennie and Schiff would have talked about. With Schiff, if a cop was interacting with him it was because the police had made a mistake. Van Buren was typically there to get reprimanded in her role as leadership at her precinct because some type of evidence had been excluded due to a police mistake. Sometimes she might also be giving an update on a particularly important investigation. One thing with the revival, and particularly with Brady, is they have started giving the Lieutenant much more to do during the investigation as opposed to Van Buren mostly just being given updates and suggesting courses of action for the detectives. I may not even be remembering correctly, but with the first series, it felt like a big deal if Van Buren was questioning a witness/perp. Here, Brady seems to do it as a matter of course.
