This is what I think happened in TV Land. Darcey and the camera crew got to the train station where they had arranged to close off the stairway to the public for filming. The crew piled up all of her luggage on the landing, then a cameraman went to the top of the stairs and filmed Darcey valiantly attempting to carry things upstairs by herself. This was totally staged to point out the ridiculous amount of over-packing Darcey had done and for viewers to laugh at how deluded she is that Jesse is in town to "sweep her off her feet" with a proposal. I'm willing to bet that as soon as they had enough footage of her luggage schlepping (which probably took several "takes" over a couple of hours for a five second clip) the crew gathered up all her crap and moved on to set up the next scene. Something similar probably happened to Rachel in Paddington Station when it was made to look like no one came to her aid. Any Good Samaritans would have been shooed away by the crew.

Yes, thanks, another member messaged me with the fix. I would have never figured it out on my own! I can't believe someone would voluntarily use that black screen, it was driving me crazy

but I think Darcey may have developed a fear of escalators

Couldn't Pole figure out if the result even if didn't have a + or - sign but said something like "si" or "no"? Instead he just trusted Karine's interpretation, just like he believed the phone call with the pregnancy results.

Oh! yes, you could be right. I assumed she grabbed a subway to get from GrandCentral to the UWS park where she was to meet her twinflame. I would LOVE to see her schlepping all that stuff on the subway!

Was she on the subway? I thought she was on a Metro North train to GCS where there are elevators

This is probably not the right place to post this, but since it's something "unexpected", why do my PTV forums now have white lettering on a black background? Is it just me? Can I change the setting back somehow?

From what I’ve read, a NATURAL white sapphire stone the size of Rachel’s would cost at least a grand, but a “lab created” stone is much cheaper. But I think it’s interesting that a lab created stone is a 9 on the hardness scale (diamond is 10) so while Rachel’s ring setting may have been destroyed in the garbage disposal, she might have been able to salvage the stone. Isn't it ironic that Jon works in the garbage industry...

I hear that on Saturdays she works at the Moose Lodge

I thought the eye makeup was that black stuff that football players wear on their cheeks in the sun.

I thought Rachel said they’d been back in New Mexico for “a couple of months” so I figured it was around February, and Lucy wouldn’t have looked that much older. She’s crawling now and I would imagine that when they go back in May, she might be walking.

That bridal consultant was foolish to give “Rach” the designer and style number of the gown she chose. My daughter’s friend fell in love with an over budget gown at a bridal salon then found it “never altered or worn” at a consignment gown website for a fraction of the cost. But I’m willing to bet the drama of her not being able to afford it was just production driven and the salon gave her the gown in exchange for television advertising (I suspect they did the same thing for Nicole.)

There are some photos on the Marta/Daya thread of her wearing her “risky” (at least by Milwaukee standards) stripper ware which looks like she sewed them herself.

Darcey’s entire luggage schlepping scene at Grand Central Station was totally staged with the stairs closed off to the public and the cameraman at the top of the stairway. Of course Jesse is flying in from Amsterdam to break up with her in person-more camera time and traveling on TLC’s dime.

Anthony Bourdain would have scarfed down that duck embryo with gusto.

I thought it looks like they grew out

Actually, I don't see that particular shirt design on their website, so it might be a custom fit one-of-a-kind shirt just for the photo shoot.

Mine, too! Exit 98! I wonder when he was on campus at Princeton and obviously went souvenir shopping at the bookstore.

I like the quote "Step into my eyes, I dare you." Maybe he said this to Darcey and she thought he meant with her Louboutins

#Meesticism? What the hell is THAT? And is he checking himself out? Do you think you can get a degree in Meesticism at Princeton?

Permanent honeymoon! Like Jon's sister said, they haven't had time to get bored with each other. That might also explain why Rachel was so upset that Jon saw nothing wrong with a couple having an open relationship. She might be worried he's not going to be able to resist temptation between her visits.

Maybe Rachel was planning to go to England in July, 2017 and even raised money for the trip, but then got cast on 90 Days and postponed the trip until December? Anyway, she might have really gone to England just once or made two trips with Lucy close together, but I don't believe there's any way Jon is Lucy's bio dad. And yes, everything I've read points to them having gotten married in England this past Spring.

Was he worried Santa couldn’t find him in Brazil?

and buckle both ends of the suspenders! He looks like he's just coming out of an outhouse. What the heck does he have in his mouth? And what's with the "derp" expression?

That's all it is, speculation, as far as I'm concerned, but there are discussions of the possibility upthread and on the Social Media/Spoilery thread. Some people suspect that Rachel was in England and met Jon before in part based on her having a Go Fund Me page to try to raise money for the trip, but I'm not buying it myself.
