    Nate had cleaned the locker room and set out the kit. You see Will's expression of wonder before he sees and reads the note.

    To juxtapose the scenes, Will looks around in wonder, but when the same thing happened with Nate he started insulting everyone because he thought he’d been fired.

    Ted choose to take the job away from his family.

    On the advice of his marriage counselor and encouragement of his wife to give her space.  Yes, he ultimately made the decision, but it was based on strong personal and professional persuasion.

    Abe was alive and well in Hawaii and concerned with that expensive cake he bought so he still has at least another decade.

    You’re right, thank you!  I completely forgot about that one.  I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to Tony so that’s a relief!

    Art imitates life there.  The bar for fatherhood is set so low, and for motherhood set so high, we see double standards all over the place in discussing parenthood in the real world and portraying it on screen. 

    I remember being out of town one weekend so husband had the four then-littles by himself.  A group of well-meaning friends dropped off a dinner “to help him out.”  When I got back he said that while he appreciated the love behind it, he didn’t know which was more insulting:

    1.  That he traveled all the time and no one ever thought to send me a meal

    2.  That the friends didn’t think he could handle one measly weekend alone with his children.

    (My favourite way would be for Roy watching Phoebe because her mum has a date, and when she's dropping Phoebe off Jamie shows up, all casual with "Ready to go?")

    Can you imagine the look on Roy’s face if she included Phoebe’s overnight things “just in case” with a smile?!?  Make it happen, show!

  6. Suddenly I find myself needing Jamie and Roy’s sister to date.

    Regarding Rupert’s humanization, in one way I do think we needed to see why Rebecca was ever attracted to Rupert.  We know he love-bombed her, but there had to be more to it.  This episode gave a glimpse into why she stayed with him so long, at least for me.

    Van Damme’s expression when Dani crushed the chips had us cackling over here!

  7. Jamie’s smile when Phoebe said he is Roy’s best friend was the absolute best!

    Loved Mae and Keeley’s scene.  Loved that Keeley made Roy read his note to her.

    Poor Sam.

    Feeling a little too neatly tied up.

    Maybe the next episode will have more Ted.

    And that they often accomplish the opposite of what they intended? 

    I don’t want to speak for others, but I don’t think the Palladinos realize how much people disliked Rory by the end of GG.  It wouldn’t surprise me if they still think these characters are all quirky and lovable.

    When Joel got arrested, Midge and Susie had a huge fight and split up.  Midge was hiring lawyers to look at Susie’s books, the works.  In the 60 minutes interview, they mention the falling out, and in Susie’s roast they keep calling Midge “she who must not be named.”  Then at the end of the roast they show a final video, and it’s Midge reminiscing about the old times and asking Susie to meet so they can bury the hatchet.  Susie immediately leaves the roast and orders her assistant to track down Midge’s number.

    Is this post an answer to my query about the olive branch?????

    Yes it is.  Hope it helped.

  11. Nate’s problem isn’t Rupert.  We saw Nate’s true colors long before Rupert whispered in his ear.

    Loved Will’s joining Roy and Isaac’s conversation.  Not the first time he wasn’t noticed, but now he is confident enough to speak up.  His smile said it all.

  12. Terrific episode!  Of course Nate is rude to the underling until he realizes it’s Jade.  Still don’t care about him; not cheering that he did the bare minimum.

    The Richmond relationships were all awesome.  And yes I loved Roy’s press conference and his channeling Ted with the story telling.

  13. Here’s an idea:  maybe Rupert sabotages their relationship by talking to Jade in front of Nate about how awesomely ruthless Nate is (“You picked yourself a winner; we love his killer instincts here.”  Names some examples.). Jade realizes by Nate’s reactions that he indeed did the things Rupert mentioned, is completely turned off,  and dumps him,  making him uncomfortable to go back ever to the restaurant.  That’s the wake up call he needs.  Maybe.

  14. “More specifically, “Hey Jude” was officially released in August of 1968 during a period of personal turmoil for the band. Lennon had just left his wife, Cynthia Powell, for Yoko Ono who he would later marry in 1969, which caused upheaval within the Beatles as well as Lennon’s family.

    McCartney, witnessing this emotional shift in his partner’s life, began to write “Hey Jude” for Lennon’s son, Julian Lennon. “I started with the idea ‘Hey Jules,’ which was Julian, don’t make it bad, take a sad song and make it better. Hey, try and deal with this terrible thing. I knew it was not going to be easy for him. I always feel sorry for kids in divorces,” McCartney is recorded to have said in a 1997 biography written by Barry Miles.”  — From this history of the song

    The lyrics about finding a woman are apparently meant to tell Julian not to be afraid of love as he gets older.

    I think it’s hilarious and telling that Lennon first thought Paul write the song for him.

  15. DS, DH, and I were having the same debate.  DS thought Isaac is a man of few words who gave Colin a nod of respect while we thought it was a processing nod and ambiguous ending.  Even a small pat on the shoulder as he handed back the phone would have gone a long way with me.

    I’ve thought this show usually rose above these kinds of manufactured moments to create tension; they definitely dinged Issac’s character by having him react poorly, especially after essentially stealing Colin’s phone from him.  I noticed he didn’t chase after Roy and Jamie and demand theirs.
