I must have fallen asleep during this episode because I don't remember the camera in the mirror or it showing that the boss attacking the assistant. Can someone please clarify how the boss was killed and how the detectives and Morgan figured it out?

But does she still love her daughter? We're rewatching this season now that it is on Netflix, and I noticed that Sheryl did not seem at all perturbed when Leland went into a rage threatening to make her granddaughters orphans--which would mean killing or otherwise disappearing both of their parents. That was what I noticed in the rewatch and led me to respond to @Chaos Theory above. Sorry I didn't get as far as your comment before I posted. Also just got to the post by @RedInk and totally agree with that assessment of Sheryl.

I forgot to say that Monica's mother seeing her grandson at the station was really sad. She is already grieving the murder of her daughter, and now she realizes that she has a grandson she will never be allowed to have in her life, and he won't even know who she is. Actually, thinking about this brought up more questions for me: Why did Monica's ex go to see her and what were they arguing about? Did he think she had kept their baby and now he wanted to see him? (I forget how long he was in prison--was it for the whole life of the child?) Assuming she told the ex that she gave the child up for adoption, what was there to argue about? What else would she have been expected to do when she got pregnant as a teenager and her boyfriend went to prison? I guess I shouldn't think too hard about these stories and just enjoy the show for the light entertainment it is meant to be.

The best episode so far for me, but it bothered me that they made the victim a thief and trafficker in exotic animals--maybe because in my decades-long experience with having pets, vets have always been caring and honest (AFAIK). I've only had dogs and cats, so maybe vets who primarily deal with reptiles and amphibians are different. But I just have a hard time seeing a vet as a criminal. Also, I'm confused about why she was stealing and selling these animals. She was supposedly saving money to buy a house for her and her lover (Bethany) and the child, but if she was really deceiving Bethany about being in love with her and wanting to start a life together, what would have happened if Bethany hadn't found out about the deception and about Monica being the biological mother of the child? If they did move in together, isn't it likely that at some point Monica would want drop the deception of her love for Bethany and take the child herself? I know it doesn't matter since Bethany killed Monica, but that part of the motive didn't quite make sense.

Although I enjoyed this episode more than the second one, the towel clue really bothered me because it didn't make sense that the towel would look dry and clean (even if not folded properly) after being used to clean up the water spilled from the tub. There were enough other clues that they could have left that out, but I guess they wanted to show how Morgan's cleaning experience helps to solve cases.

Thank you! It was driving me crazy trying to think where I'd seen him before, and I was too tired to check IMDB. I remember him mainly from The 4400, though I know I've seen him in other things.

Same. I was sure I knew him from a specific role, but no, for me it’s just H!ITG! https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0839326 For my husband and me, it was his role as Franco in Rescue Me (I remembered the show but not the character name--had to look it up in IMDB). ETA: @LaylaGirl got there first, but I hadn't read her comment yet when I posted the Rescue Me memory.

Reading over the comments on the first season, I'm remembering now how ridiculous some of the show was and that I had said I wouldn't watch a second season. But now that Season 2 is coming later this month, I'll probably give it a chance, if only because my husband enjoys this type of show and doesn't nitpick like I do. Looking forward to seeing you all in the Season 2 thread soon, and Happy New Year!

My husband and I are rewatching Seasons 1 and 2 on Netflix since they will be dropping Season 3 in a couple of days. I agree that some important things were not explained, but at least one part of the stigmata was--Kristen realized that the wounds on the nun's hands were from pushing the wheelbarrow around. But that doesn't explain the wounds on her feet or under her breast. I wonder if we are meant to think that she did those things to herself in some sort of religious delirium, although she seemed too down to earth for that.

That had me doing some mental math! Linda C. was a 20-something playing a teenager in what, 1999? But I realize it’s the character who’s trying to get away with it, not the actor. I'm not sure how old the character is supposed to be--maybe early 40s? The actress is 49 but to me looks like mid- to late 30s. Then again, from the perspective of this 74-year-old, most women in their 40s and 50s look young to me.

@AnimeMania Thanks for that summary, it is really helpful.

I'm so confused about the characters, especially this one--are you referring to the sexy woman married to the actor but having a lesbian affair? I thought that Paul and Lydia called her Stephanie when she was at the open house. Also, I can't follow what type of business deal she is trying to get into with her lover--it has something to do with real estate but seems more complicated than just buying and selling a house.

So the hot Missing Persons detective, who previously got no respect from the Homicide detectives, was immediately welcomed to Homicide after he found the body? That seems unrealistic--wouldn't he still have to go through some bureaucratic steps? Also, why wasn't the discovery of the body on the news (or at least heard about by the reporters outside the family's home) by the time hot detective got to Pia's apartment to tell her? I'm surprised she didn't already hear. Also, why wasn't the wife informed first? Maybe the Homicide detectives went to the wife while hot detective went to Pia? Despite this nitpicking, I'm hooked and am binging. It's surprising that they revealed that Nick was dead in the second episode--I thought they'd draw out the suspense until the end. So I guess the rest of the series will be figuring out who did it and why. The scary thing about this series is how realistic it is about the way even fake videos can go viral. And the nasty comments are sadly realistic.

Just watched this episode last night. Although I'm having trouble keeping track of the characters (until I came here I didn't even know the names of the homeowners), the story is interesting. So far it is not hooking me like Dead To Me, maybe because the two main women in DTM were more relatable to me on an emotional level than this larger cast, but I'll still probably binge this show in the next couple of days. One thing that confused me was the son's bedroom, which was obviously kept exactly as he left it (messy). Was his room locked to keep people at the open house from going in? I would think that prospective buyers, especially of such an expensive house, would want to see all the bedrooms. I know that the owners were sitting in a locked room to watch the prospective buyers, but that room looked more like a small storage room than the son's bedroom.

I agree with the escarghost (love that name!) story and Trevor becoming one of my favorite ghosts. I really was worried about Bucky, so thanks for the reassurance that people would probably check Trevor's apartment soon after he went missing.
