I think she said something similar to this last season. She made a comment about not wanting to visit Central Park because it was wall to wall ghosts and it was too much for her.

Possibly. I didn't really understand much of anything in the episode. It seemed like a Mad Libs-style finale where the writers had a vague idea of what they wanted, then just filled in the blanks with random words picked out of a hat. That's how we ended up with a double incest monster baby.

It was telegraphed fairly early, but in fairness, most everyone on this show is really dumb. I mean, I don't feel bad for Ricky Martin that he isn't going to get to run off with a con artist he just met like a day or two ago. I did laugh at Julia Duffy menacingly saying "fibrosis" to Maxine. I also wonder if they no longer have any idea of what to do with Cindy Crawford Jr. It's weird that Robert would leave the care of Norma to her.

A little bit. Though if I remember right, in that Short Trek, Zora had been abandoned for hundreds of years, but was still operating without much issue. I know Zora is just AI, but there was something very touching and sad when Zora asked Burnham if she was real or if this was just a dream.

I mean, Maxine also stole her jewelry and a lot of her money.

All the crazy facial expressions Maya Rudolph made while sitting with Benjamin Bratt were pretty darn funny.

She already worked for the school district as a teacher. She didn't quit her job as a teacher to become a fellow. She already should have had a 401K and health care benefits through the district.

I did feel like Janine's storyline was two steps forward, one step back. She built up some confidence, but seemed too timid when she realized the new job wasn't just about her comfort zone of Abbott. I was also a little confused with all the onboarding they were doing with Janine. Wasn't she already a district employee? It's certainly a shift to go from teacher to administration, but I didn't understand why she was being treated as a totally new employee.

Glad to see it will be back for Season 5. I'm curious if we will be treated to 80-somethings being NASA's only astronauts capable of leadership positions, or if they are going to fully move on to the next generation.

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they have done those sketches in the past without Ryan. I'm not saying that she doesn't try to get people to break, only that I think he only appeared for two or three of them and the rest were done with other guest hosts.

Didn't Lorne say at some point that he did not want SNL to be like The Carol Burnett Show where the actors occasionally broke during sketches? I get that Gosling is the host, but he seemed unable to hold it together during any sketches. Though I'll admit watching Heidi Gardner completely fall apart during the Beavis and Butthead sketch was pretty funny. I really enjoy her performances, but I do think they really have run out of ideas for that sketch.

In fairness, I don't think it was established he committed suicide. There was an open question as to whether the character jumped or fell. I think Carter made assumptions, because he blamed Benton for the death. Doctors at Grey Sloane are more likely to die from trigger happy relatives of dead patients, electrocution, plane crashes or stabby child traffickers. I also did not understand why firefighter Ben just stood there watching the whole scene. It seemed like it would be a good idea to call out the rescue squad than just hope some interns would handle things themselves.

She was saying the Rolodex helped keep things in check in Palm Beach. It helped maintain the social order. I don't like the character either. I feel like he's supposed to be more charming than how he comes off, and he's essentially there to just be a barrier to Maxine achieving whatever it is she wants.

Yes. I'd almost go so far as to say he didn't really care that his wife was dead. Maybe you could say his behavior was about grief, but he played it like his wife's death was someone else's problem. I just wanted him to slap her. She was so mesmerized by the defendant's sad story that she seemed to forget that the same defendant bludgeoned the victim to death and stole her baby. Not to mention, the defendant had enough foresight to use that baby to try and leverage a plea.

I don't think the drug was specified, but presumably painkillers. That's the only reason his back suddenly improved from last week.

Yeah, the only real mistake Nick made was not immediately telling Meredith he was taking Bailey to the hospital. That's the kind of thing you don't wait to tell a parent. Of course, if he had, then we wouldn't have gotten the drama. The whole thing felt very performative. The way it was handled made me think the patient simply wanted attention and wasn't really suicidal. ER did an episode during it's first season where Carter is treating a patient and he realizes the patient is transgender woman. Carter reacts to the patient with prejudice. The patient was suicidal but Carter doesn't realize it, and later during the episode, the patient gets to the roof and actually jumps while Carter tries to intercede. Noah Wyle's acting isn't the best during that plot, but it felt more real than this one.

I noticed that too! It was an odd comment given the circumstances, and you'd think Ben and Bailey would have done more than just watched. I think he was just a first year med student, no? She's not a regular anymore, but they've said she will still appear on some episodes. Weren't Jo and Lincoln paged to the ER at the beginning of the episode? Did either actually ever go to check on what was happening, or were they just exiled to their baby storyline the whole time?

It was interesting. You'd think the obvious introduction to death for Beverly Rose would be Roseanne, since Beverly Rose is named after her, but I understand why they wouldn't go there.

I thought it was a lovely scene, and I agree it must be very strange to act out your father's death with him.

I agree they jammed a lot into the last episode. If I had my way, I would have dropped the May storyline since it went nowhere.

If I remember right, when they were going through the board minutes, they noted that the victim had written down dirt about people in the various apartments, i.e. some were having affairs, money troubles, etc.

It wasn't entirely clear, but my guess is she left some record with the agency that adopted him out? I loved that Phyllis was a rock for her during the storyline. The last twenty minutes was all tears. I appreciated that Millicent's son's family took to Millicent instantly, and it was nice she got to be with her son prior to his death. When she mentioned being there for his first and last breaths, I lost it a little bit. I also really liked Trixie's brother taking a hard line with her on her pill use, and that moment when she accidentally set herself on fire was legit scary. The Mother of the Year contest was lovely as well from Reggie talking about his two mothers to the surprise ending where Sister Julienne was honored. Also, good for Joyce for standing up to her sleazebag of a husband.
