This a beautiful wedding. I just want to take some scissors to the girl’s hair. Like the Duggar girls, don’t lop it all off but a few inches would be good.

I knew the second Reverand Dead Poets said his back hurt that he was a goner. I still got teary when Agnes came to comfort Ada.

Kudos to the casting department. The actor playing Jackson was truly a mini Matt Bomer. I don't know if we had confirmation that he committed suicide, just that Hawk and Lucy suffered a great loss. I can't remember if we saw a grown-up daughter in the first episode or what the family configuration was during the celebration. With the focus on Jackson, I'd assume he's marked for tragedy.

Taking the tree to "Christine's Christmas" wasn't the issue. In fact, a rental was the only thing big enough to house all of Jenelle's kids that were coming to town for the Holiday. Christine and her girls showed up later so this wasn't a Christine specific plan. The real trigger was probably not being able to make everyone gather at She-ra Chateau. Instead they did invited him to the rental and he declined saying, "He had a home."

While she's fine being separated there is a lot of pain in her eyes talking about Robyn's husband.

It's wild to watch Kody admit that his life is so entwined with Robyn and their kids that he has NOTHING to discuss with his other children and their mothers. What a cliche.

Notice how Robyn says "It's important for Meri to have a relationship with my kids" It's not important to Kody or Robyn. They use the tenders to placate her.

Robyn is absolutely delusional. Meri is not a part of the big picture. He wants her to mange his storage unit.

Dollars to doughnuts Peggy has a baby out in the world. Too many references to her "living" life this episode.

It just hit me, but I think she's trying to mimic a Samsung frame TV with the canvas covering them. That would be a pretty big grift for her, but it's what all the DIY influencers are pushing recently.

This was a fine show and I love how they included Mitch. Zoey acts more like a 16 year-old girl instead of the 30 year-old woman she actually is.

My understanding was she and DeAnne signed NDA's to get out of their contracts with TLC. This happened in 2015 when the first scandals were revealed.

Jessa never saw that episode of Punky Brewster.

Boob had her sign an NDA?! I had no idea. That's a really crazy thing to do to family.

I'm an adoptive parent and Little Bean is only 9 but he feels and ENOURMOUS sense of loss from his birth family. Sometimes he gets sad and says he misses "his old mom" and I hold him until he feels better. He's been with us since birth and never met her but this feeling of "what might have been" is completely normal and if you don't understand that adoption is rooted in loss and grief you probably shouldn't do it. I don't expect my son to be grateful he was adopted by us. He never asked for it. I don't expect my Bio Bean to show deference for being born so why pass that on to Little Bean? All children deserve happy, healthy, stable families. I'm hopeful now that Randall and Kevin have had this initial talk they can approach other conflicts (i.e. Rebecca's medical needs) without all of the toxicity.

I love this show and am so glad it's back. My only request is we do something about Poppy's wig. This episode it was so noticable.

I don't know how they're going to wrap this up in two more episodes. I'd like for Gemma and Duffy to just stay friends. Zara and Craig are my favorites. Andrew's speech during game night was incredibly moving. I hope he and Tony 2 can make things work. Kash getting fired from his job was terrible. Dude, don't take your phone into an important meeting! Interesting that Ainsley is going to be the one to pursue Dylan McD now. This will hopefully be a catalyst for her to mature a little more in the way she views relationships.

I really love this show. I hope it doesn't pull a BLL and go for a second season. Let's just tie this up in a ten-episode bow. I'm fully looking forward to Fatima and Bash. That was an unexpected delight! Duffy is a Nice Guy. He and Maya had absolutely zero chemistry and his anger didn't sit right. Maya hasn't betrayed anyone. She didn't send the letter and hasn't acted on her feelings for Kash. Maybe his anger was coming from a place of hurt and embarrassment, but that's on him. Not Maya. Also, I wish they would explore why Gemma refuses to let go of her negativity towards Maya.

I loved this read on Dany's actions. Less of a snap and more of following through with what she told Jon about "Let it be fear." https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/game-of-thrones-the-bells/

Was this episode filmed prior to The Bachelor episode? I noticed that Poppy and Mark were still together and I thought they broke up a while ago so the show could move forward with Douglas/Poppy. As an aside, her wig is so distracting to me.

I would love to see this acknowledged. Randall felt he couldn't abandon his grieving mother and they've been enmeshed for decades. Now she and Miguel and leaving for LA I wonder how this will play out in that relationship.

I'd love Katherine to say it's a conflict of interest to help and sashay away.

I'm so confused about how this group of people is SO invested in Maggie, a woman they've known for <6 months, and can't spare a thought for Katherine.

The preview shows Randall running for city council in Philidelphia. How is that possible since they live in New Jersey?
