This drove me crazy too. There is no way the detectives would actually believe either of them was responsible.

I just finished the current season’s 4th episode (“How the Other Half Dies”) and found it too frustrating. I wanted to punch literally all of the victims/suspects of the week. An hour in I stopped caring about the who or why; I just wanted them all to get thrown into a pit somewhere where they’d be left to rot, safely off my television. I can’t remember the last time I had such a visceral reaction to an entire cast & plot.

I kept waiting for E(velyn? llen? ricka? ugenia? vangeline?) to appear and it drove me crazy (but in a fun way)! I am so happy to see Charlie’s return and I loved this episode.

I loved that scene but especially loved the twist that Ormewood missing the play didn’t result in a sulk-tantrum guilt trip from the son. This season has really been Jake McLaughlin’s chance to shine as Ormewood develops more and more into a person rather than a prop for the other actors to talk around. I’m so happy the writers seem to have unlocked the character!

That scene was pretty much my only takeaway (with Faith and Will more or less making up a close second)!

Langdon lost any sympathy I had left for him when he implied that he could hold Robby’s PTSD as some kind of stay-out-of-rehab-free card for himself.

Same! I’m pretty sure there was one point when he said it was supposed to be his day off. I honestly wish more shows would do this. I love that in most of the British shows I’ve seen, if a character is a wheelchair-user or an amputee they don’t even address it; we’re just seeing people living their lives and doing their jobs (as it should be). There’s none of this “here’s Joe, who lost his leg in a tractor accident” or whatever unless the tractor incident is what motivated the killer. This was hands-down the best season of tv I have seen in a very long time

Can I just take a moment to express my deep, undying love for the wardrobe department? Every single outfit in that dance number was amazing, but Amanda in that green jumpsuit? Faith’s furry purple coat? Will’s suit? Betty’s tie? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

God bless Whitaker - I loved both of his scenes with Robby. Dr. King is another absolute favorite; she projects flashes of the teacher she’s going to be (yes, in my head-cannon she’s a future senior resident). Santos still needs to be slapped and I wish I could be the one. At the very least I want her taken to task for ignoring her “boring” assignment to go running off after whatever the hell she felt like doing. I am very concerned about David being left alone in the room with all the supplies. I hope this day doesn’t end with him hurting himself! Oh, Javadi. I felt your “he knows my name” down to my bones. Those human Utahs are so, so real.

Nah, it would just be her arm.

Faith’s yellow gown was gorgeous! I loved the Thompson Twins/Sixteen Candles throwback. I don’t have a huge family, but I’ve had my birthday forgotten too and completely felt the “I don’t make a big deal out of it because people forget” sentiment.

I felt the same way. The fight scenes in the Netflix series felt so much more grounded and…I don’t know…heavy…? but this felt much too cartoonish at times.

My human Utah worked in my building, had no idea I existed other than as a semi-familiar face in the elevator, and was the most beautiful man I have ever seen in person. I am a sane, fairly intelligent person, but every time I was in his presence I completely forgot how to sentence. Hell, one time as a colleague and I walked back to our building from coffee, I happened to spot Utah from a block away, and I literally broke out into giggles in the middle of a word. Y’all, I was 40 freaking years old! I feel you, Dr Javadi….

Jinx! As the episode ended my first thought was “that was rough.” But man, this show is good. Also, I think I read somewhere that they originally wanted this to be kind of an ER sequel, but they couldn’t get the rights so we have this instead and they think of it as a “spiritual successor.” So yeah, your (and my) thoughts of Carter aren’t just because Noah Wyle plays both characters.

This episode kept me on the edge of my seat. I love, love, love how well the writers work with this ensemble, especially with how they mix the groups. And I agree with others who said they like that the side characters are becoming more important to the show. The mariachi puns were definitely welcome breaks from the tension! Not gonna lie, that last shot of Pete actually made me cry.
