Martha wasn't lying when she told Agent Alderholt (why aren't they on a first name basis?) that she was in a relationship with a "married man." As far as she knows Clark IS married--to her! edited to add: Gabriel's apartment has to be one of the most depressing sets I've ever seen on television. Edited again to add: I don't think finding a wedding ring in a single woman's apartment should raise any Red Flags (sorry.) I have my mother's rings in my jewelry box. And I don't think it's unusual for a woman to have a prop ring to wear in a situation when she doesn't want male attention.

I found it kind of ridiculous that they were supposedly reading maps with local street names instead of highway or route numbers. Instead of "We can go North on 18 then pick up Route 3" they were saying things almost like "We can take Honeysuckle then hang a left on Bluebird" as if they were driving through a familiar residential area.

I called BS on the Faroe island backstory when the couple was shown in the same room as the mother and only after Brynhild had gotten off the phone (supposedly calling everyone she knew looking for an available apartment) Mom pipes up with "Oh, I JUST remembered..." I'm getting pretty tired of HHs treating the viewers like we're idiots. -

About the gappy front, I was thinking "For goodness sakes, shorten those straps!" but then the seamstress appeared to be doing just that by the end of the fitting scene. -

Could it be that Pastor Tim and Alice's "accident" is supposed to proceed as planned but since Paige and Henry are now home alone one or both of the Jennings kids get somehow involved in the situation? -

I think that Elizabeth has become "Patty" the Mary Kay newbie in order to gain access to Young-Hee's family, specifically her brother, Don, (wine guy.) Don could be the key to get to Level 4 of the Bio Lab and Elizabeth will take advantage of him being more "Americanized" than most of his family and start a relationship with him. And we all know how irresistible Elizabeth is when she turns on the charm! -
I was confused by the airport scenes, Philip just took a little road trip from DC to JFK, at the very least an 8 hour round trip? Why not Dulles? But I was really impressed at that convenient parking spot he got right near the shuttle! As far as the girl on the shuttle, rocking out to "Tainted Love" while oblivious to what was going on behind her, were we to believe her headphones were blasting the music THAT loud?

I couldn't bring myself to watch the entire episode but I thought Closely Guarded Surprise Beyoncé Inspired Dress Ali said her budget was $10K. Did she really spend four times that amount? -
I also think Daryl was fooling around when he continued to grind the gears on that truck, and just doing it to "bust chops". And I'm amazed that Denise saw a cooler in a car and after risking everyone's lives to get it, she found a single elusive Orange Crush! I mean, what are the odds! Too bad that apothecary didn't sell lottery tickets...

Was I the only viewer who wasn't chilled by the sight of the bloody baby shoe because I COULDN'T TELL WHAT THE HECK IT WAS? I rewound, froze the frame and I still had no idea what I was looking at! I thought it was some kind of plastic thing, a toy or maybe a mouth guard, and I was totally surprised when it was identified on TD.

Aha! Amy, the vow renewal twin who lost 55 pounds is a bodybuilder! https://karenmullarkey.com/2014/07/team-mullarkey-steals-show-dennis-james-classic/ And she does like to show it off! -

Yes, same Illegally Blonde twins back again. I believe she was on the second time when she chose her vow renewal dress and last night was the follow up downstairs fitting of the renewal dress followed by clips of the ceremony. I hope we're finally done with them, oh wait, is the other twin married? -

I was just totally distracted by Alicia's non-stop ugly crying! And the shallow skanky orange twins were back AGAIN because the one was having a two year vow renewal because she didn't like the way she looked in her gown the first time? Their voices got on my last nerve... -
Could Maggie have been deliberately downplaying how far along she was in her pregnancy when asked by her captors?

I came here to make the same comment. Coupled with her mousy voice was one of the worst cases of "up talk" I've ever heard. With her giant husband you could easily mistake her for a child. Another thing that drove me crazy was her repeating how living in Europe and experiencing another culture was her "childhood dream" then she was drawn to the house that most reminded her of "back home." My favorite part was when the realtor could barely hide her disdain when she said, "Maybe their budget could get three bedrooms in Florida, but THIS IS THE NETHERLANDS." edited to fix quote -

My thoughts exactly! No, little Special Snowflake, you are NOT by any stretch of the imagination a MAN. The room should be called a "hangout room" like the other episodes regarding spaces for teenagers. -

So is this Hayley Paige going to be Pnina's competition? (Sorry, I've never heard of her, but it's been 6 years since I was wedding dress shopping with my daughter.) In her TH's, I was totally distracted by her roots and stringy Flower Child hairstyle so I was glad to see that had been fixed for her own wedding. -

I believe an "anesthetist" is a registered nurse who receives further training in "putting people under" while an "anesthesiologist" is a medical doctor specializing in administering anesthesiology. -
My theory is that Abraham either has a premonition he's going to die or plans to sacrifice himself to save others. He was intentionally cruel when he broke up with Rosita because he wants her to hate him and not grieve over his death.

Thanks for doing the research! The "opening a restaurant" story makes more a little sense and explains why she held out for the largest kitchen space for her "entertaining" which was in reality her business. But why couldn't they have just said that in the first place! I would also have enjoyed hearing about the Opera Singer aspect of her bio. Maybe she'll develop a local following because of the novelty of her non-Italian cuisine menu, but whenever I've gone to Italy, I went solely for the ITALIAN food, and I imagine that's true for most tourists. And the "dinner and a show" thing reminds me too much of the Italian pavilion at Epcot. -

and how does an American chef think she's going to be successful catering Italian food for ITALIANS? On a totally shallow note, I hate that stupid hairstyle! -

I'd really enjoy the show more if I wasn't constantly trying to fill in the gaps of an suspicious backstory or catch everyone in a lie. What harm would it do to tell the truth, Jennifer is an American who married an Australian guy, works as a realtor, and they relocated from Perth to Broome. As far as crying when she said goodbye to her dog, I think that was for real. She was obviously home in Illinois for that part of the filming and really did get upset when leaving. I should have been more suspicious when someone said to her something about her going there without a job and she just laughed it off and said, "Oh, I'll find SOMETHING!" -

Broome episode. My theory about the dark haired man being Jennifer's husband is all wrong. He's blonde and Australian. They got married in Australia in 2012: http://www.nwherald.com/2012/11/13/reinert-and-alexander/a2j2wqc/ -

I don't know about Australia, but in the US that's usually considered an OUTHOUSE -

Back to the Broome woman, when they show her tearfully waving good-bye to her family in Illinois, there is a shot of a dark haired man standing on the porch with her parents and friends. Then in the scene at the end where she and her quickly-made "new friends" are sitting around the pool, we see the back of a dark haired man. I'll bet that's the conveniently never-mentioned husband! I just wish HH would drop the fake back stories and producer driven drama which I feel insult our intelligence. edited to add: Since Jennifer works for a property management company, I'm also going to speculate that her realtor and the pool people are all her co-workers.
