Gabriela will live so we can be forced to endure the pregnancy/who's the baby daddy inevitable storyline that results from her sleeping with Bode and Jake (and the trainer guy?) in the same time frame. I hope I'm wrong.

Do we know why Audrey was in prison? Neither of us watching in our house recall this being mentioned.

I am honestly amazed that anyone is still menstruating at my age. I'm no expert but I really didn't realize that could happen.

Chiming in to agree that it's ludicrous that Sharon, with all her medical issues, has never had a doctor discuss menopause with her. DF and I were born a few weeks apart -- you mean to tell me a 55-year-old woman is in denial? About the suggestion of perimenopause, which she likely went through for years, and is now in full-blown menopause? Doesn't she have any women friends her age? Either Sharon is supposed to be much younger than DF, or she's a medical marvel. I will say, I'm unfamiliar with joint pain as a symptom, though. Gabriela has become totally insufferable.

Maybe next, Owen can fix the entire U.S. healthcare system!

He didn't even do it en croute (in a puff pastry), so really all he probably did was put a wheel of brie in the oven.

I read that the Tommy cancer storyline was Sierra McClain's idea, before she peaced out.

As a fan of This Is Us, it can be tough watching Justin Hartley in this because he was able to show a lot of range in TIU, and this role is much more one-dimensional.

As someone who has been getting screening mammograms for 15 years, including one year when I was directed to proceed with a diagnostic mammogram, and then an ultrasound (which resulted in the all-clear), I have questions about this episode's depiction of breast cancer testing and diagnosis. Are breast lumps able to be seen in photos? Can one simply make a call and schedule a mammogram at the same date, time, & place as a friend? (This question is facetious, it certainly doesn't work that way in my experience!) Could Tommy already have been diagnosed with breast cancer based on a screening mammogram? Or are we to assume that she went through a second mammogram, ultrasound, biopsy, etc. in record time (without mentioning any of those steps to Nancy)? My questions are sincere, because I found this genuinely confusing. TV doesn't always have to reflect reality, but it's almost irresponsible to portray it this way. Speaking of, the rather upbeat, silly music that played the whole time that guy had his hand inside the vending machine was completely dissonant with the outcome of that story. That said, I knew the machine would end up crushing him. What a tired, lazy storyline. They couldn't come up with a better case to show Nancy how to ask for support?

I, too, think it would have been easy to re-cast Teddy. Only one season in and they didn't have that much screen time. Half the viewers probably wouldn't have even noticed. And I agree that this wasn't the first time Colter and the missing woman's sister slept together. In fact, her case may be the one that set him on the "rewardist" path. It was very obvious the "marshal" wasn't a marshal. Colter needs to be much more suspicious of everyone he encounters. A flash of a badge isn't sufficient.

I just cannot fathom, in this day and age, so so many people willing to have sex with a perfect stranger without using a condom.

She started throwing up roadblocks from the moment they met and he just quietly persists in tearing them down. My husband did the same when we met. I get it. I think she feels seen.

Hmmm...I didn't get any whiff of Carrie Bradshaw from Joanne. I did think of Charlotte, who converted to Judiasm for Harry. I do agree Carrie had no personal growth throughout that series (and beyond). I loved this and hope for a Season 2!

Lily Collin announced on GMA this morning that they have been renewed for Season 5.

I'd like to see Emily single for a full episode, but alas, it is not to be. She doesn't seem able to function without a man.
