I completely disagree. Larissa was looking for validation. And also, yes. Move out! Get a car with ac in Las Vegas! Debbie is Coltee’s real wife and Larissa knows it. The two of the, have been working on breaking Larissa since she got here. Coltee exercises power over her by threatening to deport her and we know that Deb is so jealous she could scratch Larissa’s eyes out. It is an abusive setup and I want to know Larissa is okay. You might not like her, but she doesn’t deserve what she has gotten, either.

That was my first thought, too.

Evil is definitely not Mormon. She gleefully told Corey’s parents that she believes that Mormonism is a bad cult. She did. She also told him if he was moving to Ecuador, it shouldn’t be for her. So I have to give her points for honesty.

I live in DC too and I was also looking around for the scooters!

I read from the show runner that the vow of silence in DC started out as voluntary. He compared it to the burqa where some women wore it voluntarily Nd then everyone else was forced to wear it. I also wondered if the vow of silence was necessary since the Handmaids are closer to powerful people and could pick up information.

My mom had a strong aversion to butter so she would make the worst cheese sandwiches in the toaster oven and then send them cold for my lunch. One day I went to a friend’s house (these were the days when you could go home for lunch, so I went with my friend). Her mom offered to warm up my sandwich and she fried it in butter and it was just a transformative miracle. My eight year old mind just couldn’t understand why my sandwich was now delicious. The butter aversion remains only with my mother. The rest of us have been converted.

So I’m confused. Did Pole not have ALL of his luggage because he NEVER talked about that! I know Karine is disliked in this group, but I do feel sorry for her. Pole is such a disaster. Jenny is the whiniest person I have ever heard. Sumit must have the patience of a saint.

Well, they are unlikely to have that necessity of all necessities: A bulletproof Baby Bjorn. I don’t know how I got along without one!

And who could blame her? I wouldn’t live in Oklahoma for any salary. Pao was miserable there and it is Russ’ job to make her happy. He can find similar jobs in Texas, etc. And it is true that his family completely slut shamed her. If Pao is the stronger personality in the relationship, that’s fine. She is just as much as a person as Russ, and I am on her side.

I hate hate to think of Jean Valjean dying of cholera, but you are most likely right. Poor guy, just trying to be good dad.

I think that Valjean dies of a broken heart from losing Cosette. In the book he is fiercely devoted to her and never wants to lose her.

Sadly, that is exactly how it plays out in the novel.

Actually the scene where Cosette sees convicts is accidental, not a field trip. Her reaction in the book is just as disgusting as in this series and makes Valjean sad but aware he can never tell her the truth about his past. Cosette always needed a good smack in the moments of the book and in this one, but today, Valjean would have made it a teachable moment about compassion, which I still believe he should have.

Mariah’s whole attitude makes me wonder if this is her reaction to having been raised in such an anti-LGBT environment. That girl is angry.

Sophie is they type of person who is all, “I am living this horrible life but it would make a lot more sense to me if other people also had to suffer to make me feel better about my own horrible choices.” The way she was showing off that awful couch was so cringeworthy. It was like showing off to her parents that she has a boyfriend...and they are doing the sex!!!! Her brother was so innocuous. He wasn’t stating that she needs to stop living the way she wants to. He just doesn’t want to do it himself. She is SO irritating.
