What (if anything) do we know about the fathers of Rio and these twins? 7 kids? Sheeeeeeeesh.

Wow this got really dark. For once in her life can she ever put her kids first?

I don’t envy the situation Kim and B&T are in at all.

Can you blame her? Stevie Wonder could see Cate was trouble from jump. She probably expected the relationship to end at a relatively normal point...but now here we are.

This show is insane. I wish I could write something funnier about this, but...I can’t. These are crazy people.

Why do these chucklefucks have another unfortunate child? Like...why?

Facts. Susie was able to hide her crazy juuuust enough.

Ok, so I finally caught up with all of this and holy shit is there a lot to unpack here. Y’know what this case reminds me of? The Susie Lynch case in 1985 in NC. Susie was from a super well to do family (her aunt was the first female NC Supreme Court justice in history). Her folks were educated, comfortable, it was a standard middle class existence until she went to college and met her future husband, Tom. Tom was a nice guy, aspiring dentist, everybody thought it was a bit of a mismatch, but whatever. They get married and end up moving to NM and that’s when things start to go poorly. Susie’s mental illness starts to crop up away from her family. In NC her family name meant something. In NM it didn’t. Also there were too many Mexicans and Native Americans for her liking (because, in addition to being a sociopath, she also was racist). Anyway, she and Tom have two boys. They eventually get a divorce. She takes the boys to NC with her and basically ceases all contact between them and their father. Because of her aunt’s connections, the court system sides with her (and also the ideas that children are best with their mothers). Tom has to fight for custody for years and spend thousands of dollars. In the meanwhile, his mother and sister are murdered by mysterious assassins. Then Susie’s parents are murdered in the same way. Later on, when he finally gets to take the boys to NM, he discovers some pretty disturbing stuff. The boys are living with their mother and “Uncle Fritz”. Fritz is their mother’s first cousin. She was basically dating and living with Fritz and her children as a husband and wife. Fritz was posing as a doctor, but never passed the board, much to the disappointment of his doctor father. In his capacity as a “doctor” he was giving them ziplock bags full of what he called vitamins every day. The boys didn’t have beds. They didn’t have a lot of clean clothes. Susie’s family was concerned for the boys, but they couldn’t do anything or she would cease contact with them and they wouldn’t be able to monitor the boys and their condition. I don’t want to prattle on too much longer about this, but in the end Tom has to return the boys to their mother. The police make the connection and tie the murders to Fritz. They go on a high speed chase to try to capture Fritz while Susie and the boys are in the car. Fritz detonates a bomb in the car and blows all of them up. That way, not only does he avoid capture, but Susie avoids having to share the boys with Tom. All of this to say I fully expect David and Jenelle to put Susie and Fritz to shame. I am terrified for those kids.

He seems so miserable this season. Makes no sense to me at all that they are having another kid.

Also holy shit all of the financial burden would have been on Kim to take care of all of them. I don’t blame her one bit for putting her foot down. She was already practically having to raise Cate as is.

I am keeping up with TM via the Grace Report and this board. I finally reached my NOPE level. Why in fuck hell are Cate and Tyler having another kid?

She looks like an extra in the fucking Handmaiden’s Tale in that dress. These people need to have another kid like I need another hole in my head.

Janelle has said a couple times this season that she has a bug out shelter with supplies and that she fears the impending end of the world. She’s in the throes of a psychotic episode, IMO. I can’t tell if it’s drug induced or not, but I bet the sudden obsession with weapons is tied to that. David either feels the same way or feeds into it.

Remember when Kail called Vee a hood rat for smoking weed? Pepperidge Farm remembers!

IIRC Barb already has full custody and Janelle gets visitation. In either case, the state is not gonna sever parental rights from someone for just generally being a POS and having a couple handfuls of run-ins with the law but no real convictions. Janelle will have access to Jace until Jace puts a stop to it.
