They all looked at each other and shrugged..."Herrr...derrrr...you have any Narcan? How about you?" And then they issued a warrant for the unconscious guy's arrest for possession! I cannot with this department any more. People are not calling 911 and dying because they fear arrest if the cops find drugs on scene. Yes, I cannot think of a more brilliant way to handle the opioid crisis.

Wow. Talk about a lesson in how to (and NOT to) deal with people, comparing Lt. Brown vs Dep. Perez's dealings with parking lot medical marijuana guy. Brown just kept repeating his damn self all tic-like and escalating the situation, and I would have gotten all defensive and worked up if I were in the med MJ guy's situation, too. Perez's diffusion of the situation by empathizing with the guy and genuinely trying to help him (telling him about changing his address, etc) was one of the most brilliant things I have ever seen on this show. Who knew Kato Kaelin's long lost son would turn up in Pasco Co? Where the officers continue to be royal dicks, I must add.) That one K9 in Spokane always sounds so excited at the possibility of biting someone. "I gonna BITE, I gets to BITE!" It is funny yet disturbing, and makes me wonder if the handler has optimum control over the dog. Maybe the dog has a nervous tic or something, but I've never seen (well, heard) a K9 get so worked up before the dog is even out of the car.

My favorite part was when the peabrain mentioned that the neighbor "fought in World War I". Which is not possible because it would make him like 118 years old, which makes her look even more stupid. Reminds me of a dummy back in high school who was doing a volunteer project at a senior center with me and innocently asked an elderly man wearing a "Veteran" cap if he fought in the Civil War (this was 1997-ish).

If I hear "Don't you LAAAAHHHH to me," or "Ah'm bein' plenty fayyyer to you" one more time... The face painted wall pee-er incident, and the one hour pooper, made me laugh like an 8-year-old. We need to see more bizarre bodily-function related incidents on this show, and I'm not being sarcastic. My former cop friend has zillions of stories about such things. So glad someone went to rescue that poor puppers right away. And fires are why I was always paranoid living in apartments...in my mid-20s, I lived above an 80-year-old who would put stuff in the oven and forget about it or fall asleep, and the FD responded to my building because of this woman 7 times in the 2 years I lived there. Luckily mine was never damaged, but that experience is what drove me to start saving and planning to buy my house. Randos with questionable personal safety standards living adjacent to me is a nightmarish thought. Hope all humans and animals are OK there.

Uggghhh. He's baaaack. But I did love that the woman only ended up having the half-pill on her that she said she had, and nothing else. Poooooff goes down Leverett's ego boner. I do like Officer Loeb from Lake Co. She's thoughtful, well-spoken, and does not belittle people. I think the main reason they are pulling away from potentially fatal stuff is because of the murder victim incident in SC (can't remember if it was Richland Co or Greenville) where the murder victim's family recognized the house they were at and learned of the murder via watching Live PD. It still bugs me that they are pulling away, though. There's no need for closeup shots on dead bodies or anything like that, but seeing, say, accident reconstruction going on would be interesting.

I guess because he's a longer-haired doggy, the pee is retained in his fur and he gets icky "down there"? As mom to a long haired kitten who has not quite grasped the self-grooming concept, I have wiped him down, but not on his back on the damn couch. That is nasty and made zero sense, and is even weirder to me because we saw the exact same scene two weeks in a row, which means I didn't just imagine it the first time I saw it, and probably will see it next week as well! Given how this show loves foreshadowing, the way Kate cleans the dog's pee must mean something very important! I want answers! :)

Although certainly saddened by what happened with the miscarriage, I was left wanting more from this episode. We got to know Kevin and what makes him tick on a whole different level last week, and was hoping we would get similar with Kate. I did like how Kate finally "needed her mother," and was pleasantly surprised that Rebecca's unannounced visit did not end in Kate being snippy and sullen with her. I wanted to learn more about teen Kate other than she wanted to go to Berklee, loved her dog, and was kinda broody. It disappointed me that other than the Berklee thing, the 90s part of the episode was a just a replay of last week's episode, but from Kate's perspective. I can see why TPTB did this, but I wanted more Kate, I guess.

Yes! Love Officer McKinney. He is straight up, and does not give nor take bullshit. The Spokane car tow lady was a nutty buddy. Was she lamenting that the homeless drifters all have driver's licences and she doesn't? And she blames the "lady at the front desk" for...something? I tried to follow her train of thought, but decided to jump off before it reached its Crazytown destination.

From the flashbacks I've been able to piece together, it seems Kevin was making out with Sophie somewhere and not at home for the fire. If this is what happened (and who knows, with this silly show), it would still be a "Where's Kevin" scenario...maybe he snuck out of the house and Jack went back in to go find him, thinking he was there?

Word. I am the same age as the Big 3, and while I appreciate the little touches of awesome only understood by my tiny "Xennial" generation, like the "Girl Talk" game in the cabin, I REALLY want more of our awesome music! And we had some awesome music. Some Flaming Lips, Toadies, Everclear, 311, or early Green Day, plz! All in all, this episode was very uncomfortable in many parts, but I now feel for Kevin a bit more like I do for #2 and #3. I think the miscarriage was to set us up for #2's special feature episode next week. I am curious about High School Kate. Was she an insecure dork? Popular? Probably neither...I can't imagine her being super popular, but I doubt people messed with her since her inseparable bro was Big Man On Campus.

I still believe that "Russell in Pasco County" is Johnny Knoxville doing a Jackass character. Loved, loved, loved when Dan turned to Officer Mini Angrypants in studio and remarked about the Lake Co. officer's awesome de-escalation skills. Angrypants looked like someone handed him a turd on a hamburger bun and forced him to eat it. Flex was sleepy and adorable. Mini Angrypants was weird and faux subdued, like Eddie Haskell around grownups.

I was rooting for the guy who Leverett insisted had something worse than weed, and was thrilled when weed was all they found. What a pompous, porcine little troll. I've also noticed that he acts like he's doing people a giant favor when he rhetorically says "Does that seem fair to you? MORE than fair?" He has said that so many times I've lost count.

Yeah, I miss the guys from Mission TX and Greenville...but I heard Greenville will be back on in a few weeks, hopefully with more smackdown fights at racin' night. Does it simultaneously irritate and amuse anyone else that Leverett calls Flex's ball reward a "giftie"? Mr. Kittyglitter now throws toy mice to our cats and says "Go find your giftie!" simply to annoy me now.

With the deliberate close up of what appeared to be war medals in the baggie on the front seat of the car in the premiere, the flashback with the helicopter, and Kevin appearing to be playing a soldier in next week's preview with Sly Stallone saying "Do it for your dad!", I think they are setting up Jack's Vietnam War backstory. Is this another reason for the drinking besides the alcoholic father? Does Jack have PTSD? I am actually interested in seeing this storyline develop. I also found it interesting that they cut to commercial break without seeing if/how much applause Kate got from the crowd at the end. It kind of showed that the only approval that mattered to Kate was that of her mother, and no one else in the crowd mattered.

A "mutanty" against Lisa? STFU, douchebro. Chael is just gross, and while I'm glad his cord-cutting got him fired, I wanted him to get electrocuted a little for my amusement. Vince had already raised a crazy $700,000 for his charity, and he was just kinda like sayonara, but before I go, let's do something with scantily-clad dancers. Whatever. Carson had three dull bulbs to work with, and I felt bad for him. On the other hand, was happy to see Matt shine, and his enthusiasm was authentic, which was where Carson and Co. considerably missed the mark.

Hmm...that does change my view a little bit. She's clearly with it enough to navigate that shady mortgage jungle. Something about this still has me all teary-eyed, though. I do tend to see historic houses as living, breathing creatures, and maybe it was seeing that gorgeous house hoarded until it popped that played with my emotions. Four years ago, I bought and rehabbed my little 900 sq ft 120-year-old house that had been lived in by someone who had neglected her badly. I never met the folks who lived there (they were tenants who'd been evicted, and the elderly owner didn't do shit to fix it up before I bought it). Still, I got kind of emotional when I found a couple things the people had left behind in nooks and crannies: various things that could be used to smoke drugs, a few children's toys, a bag of off-brand candy, and brochures from a predatory for-profit college halfway filled out. It painted a portrait of sad lives -- granted, people's choices played a part in their lives being sad, as Sandra's certainly did -- but still....the feels. I can't wait to see what Michael and Eric have in store for this beauty.

I am practically speechless for the first time in 9 seasons. I'm glad Dr. Zazio kept reiterating the point that Sandra is severely mentally ill. So ill that it was perhaps the most painful to watch episode ever...worse than poop mountain Judy, Augustine, and the young-ish woman who saved her dead mom's piss whose name escapes me. The only one that is "up there" is Hanna, and in that episode, it was the animals and not the hoarder (and the gorgeous old house) who broke my heart. Having said that, Michael and Eric were way more patient than I would've been about the situation. It wasn't that I necessarily felt terribly sorry for Sandra...the whole thing just made me uneasy, she was so completely delusional. The only good thing I have to say is least the piss pot was some sort of antique old-timey empty piss pot, and not a piss-overflowing old Cheez Puffs canister. Also, I wonder if ex-husband's threat years ago to sell the house to be torn down was perhaps ex-husband's version of How to Lose a (Hoarder) Gal in 10 Days. Surely signs were there, even then. Still trying to process this one.

From what I understood, Friend was already a mere skull when she found Friend in the woods or something, and Friend became her only...friend, I guess, when she was going through the concussion/demons/whatever else.

I was extremely glad to see the words "mental health care" in Shannon's ending BSOJ. Hoarding and house demons are just the surface of Shannon's issues, sadly. The oldest kid broke my heart...it seemed as though she didn't really believe in the demons when Zaz asked her, but was saying she did to make mom look less crazy. She kept saying stuff like, "Well, my mom says that the salt keeps the demons away," and such...never that she herself believed in it, until directly asked. There is hope for her, I think. On the bright side, Friend was the most loved and cherished animal remains the show has ever seen! Sailcat is jealous...Friend was living it up! Friend's burial ceremony did make the crazy cat lady in me a bit misty-eyed, though. I can't really put my finger on it. The vacuum dust ceremony, though, grossed me out, as the micro bits of whatever billowed all around. So, we finally got to see what the Tanner abode would look like all hoarded up. I knew Tony was not long for this world the moment they showed him nodding off surrounded by the hoard. Ray seemed like a genuinely nice man, and the type of person that if you met in passing, you'd have no idea of the horror of hoard in his house. He was one of the more personable hoarders we've seen on the show. I do feel hopeful for Ray's success, but that house is in rough, rough shape, and much will have to be gutted for it to be saved.

The whole weird mini-cult dynamic at Doomsday Farms made me want to take a shower. Though she had far from the "grossest" hoard, Linda might be the most cray we've seen on the show since the one chick who hoarded containers of her own (and her dead mother's) pee. I knew as soon as she played the God Card that any expert help would be futile. I agree that perhaps Dean did set the barn on fire...perhaps as a subconscious smoke signal plea for help? Also, do Dean and Angela get paid by Linda, or is it a hoarding commune type of thing? Also, we never got much of a backstory on Linda or either of her junkhands. So many questions. I am happy for Kerry and his family, and hope he continues to do well. I do call shenanigans on the neighbors calling the cops about the vicious ferret pack that turned out to be a singular wiener dog. The cops themselves seemed like actors or something else to me. I honestly thought they were going to break into a striptease for the daughter. "Hey, girrrl...we're here about the...pack of vicious ferrets (*wink wink*)?"

I've often pondered what life situations would drive me to hoard, and Vivian's reason for hoarding was almost something I found excusable. I am glad Heather is "living elsewhere", as she certainly doesn't need to be on the premises with that precious little boy. SHE is the one who is failing those children, not Vivian. An "Intervention" crossover into the next hour would've been interesting to see here. On a shallow note, the Department of Hair Protective Services desperately needs to take custody of Dr. Zaz's mane for a mandatory keratin treatment, STAT. I cried for it. Regarding Sandi, she just struck me as one of those phony-baloney folks that are obsessed with holidays because they have the need to "create joy" where it's really not needed. I know the type; I call them "self decorators", so named because they actually use their own person as a decorating canvas, with the hideous holiday earrings and sweatshirts. You know, the people (especially women) who obsess over holidays in an attempt to "spread joy" but it just comes off as a pathetic attempt to hide how sad their lives really are? Yeah, that. Also, wish we'd see more of Dr. Dave! Oh, and I would have no problem being the recipient of the kitty umbrella. The only redeeming quality of that mess!
