I am surprised to see a sitcom plot in 2024 which is Larry doesn't want people to think he had sex with a man. Even on Seinfeld, they would have said, "Not that there's anything wrong with that"! And isn't dead-naming a no-no? I thought when I originally saw the plot synopsis that Larry was going to accidentally dead-name Ken.
Next week's episode is an hour-long special.

Surely Larry has been on Conan's show (in real life) so they have met before?

Isabel seems to have forgotten what her actual job is (unless she was demoted and I didn't hear?) since in this episode she was interviewing suspects and going out in the field. I hope she had an annual appraisal where someone pointed this out!

It was nice to see a clip from "How to with John Wilson", but a shame that there was no mention (I mean spoken) that it was from that show.

Stu really didn't seem like someone who had had a serious stroke.

If I heard correctly, Irma said she had been sober for 15 weeks, and Larry said "9 weeks to go". That would make 24 weeks, but 6 months = 26 weeks.

Vaughn's plotline in this episode was slightly ridiculous, even by this show's standards. Of course there are couples that look for surrogates or sperm donators to help them conceive, but are there any husbands out there really willing to let some rando do their wife to have a baby? 😄
Plus being fine with the donor (Leon) being of a different ethnicity, meaning they will have to explain the child's origin all the time? And surely they would need some documents signed regarding parental rights.

I'm really surprised Larry used the bathroom at the boutique.
It reminded me of the bathrooms he designed for his own coffee shop, where "number twos" wouldn't even be allowed - I think he said people would have to go home if they needed to do one of those.
Would it not have been possible to put a cover over the lawn jockey?! (Either the original one or the replacement.)

I don't understand how Aunty Rae's spare glasses would fit Larry if her head was bigger than his? And Larry didn't even try to adjust his own glasses until the scene in the bathroom. I did like the very end of the episode but not the rest.

I wonder how those robots and the structures that they build would stand up to the earthquakes and volcanic eruptions?

Seems like a bad idea security-wise for Kasie to have an Alexa in the lab.

I would have thought that McGee, at least, would be highly interested in building safety instead of avoiding the meeting about it, remembering the Navy Yard bombing, for instance. And especially since he apparently wants to be NCIS director some day.
I guess Denise Crosby's character didn't last long as Sec Nav since there was a new one in this episode.

In the episode "Stowaway", who plays the woman with the boat that sees the man & dog on the island. I'm sure I know her, but I can't remember her name. TIA.
Annie is played by Savonna Spracklin who has been in a few episodes of Yellowstone.

The perfect disguise for horrible murder tapes being recordings of Bergerac… is just amazing. You’d never look at them and it’s so typical for parents to have old tapes lying around.
I mean, John Nettles is actually a very solid actor (I have no opinion on his bum), but when it’s announced while Pia’s playing it back at the end that the tapes weren’t even from the time Bergerac was on in the 80s and that Davis’s Mum was recording them from Gold, it meant that they were way newer than they should have been. So if you were alive and in the UK in 1997, you realise in that moment that it’s all fake. Gold wasn’t a channel back then, she’d taped new reruns over the murders. Sick.
Why does your Mum have a creepy mask hanging on the wall? Oh, she must have gone to Venice once. Did you ever ask? Nope.
Love the little cameos from Clive Myrie and Kirstie Wark, the real life presenters on the news and the BAFTAs that made this episode feel so real.
Poor Pia. Those streams are always so slippery from smooth rocks covered in algae, so many former kids remembering their almost stumbles while paddling in dark brown brooks on country holidays at that moment.
The fact that Davis was immediately trying to deflect his mother from saying something needlessly cruel to Pia, right from moment one. The Mum’s weird, creepy, old-fashioned, buttoned-up affect. She was so off-putting. Not at all normal. Making Pia eat fish pie on the first night. That stuff makes the whole house stink of old fish. Ew. And who puts grated carrots in shepherd’s pie? (If you do, you shouldn’t).
I didn’t spot Pia’s eyebrow situation, but I thought the actor who plays Davis looks a lot like like a younger, smaller ex-Tory politician Rory Stewart.
Actually, since Bergerac was set in Jersey and wasn’t like this at all, this thing was actually much more like an homage to iconic 1990s Scottish murder mystery show Taggart. That show was sometimes really disturbing. There was this one episode where a murderer was leaving little dolls sitting in tiny chairs in the middle of narrow, winding lanes, like a child might forget their toy while playing, so people would get out of their cars in the dark on those country lanes to pick it up and put it to the side, instead of running it down… Damn. The idea of one act of simple kindness being the cause of your death. That episode gave me nightmares about 25 years ago and I had forgotten it until now.
And, of course, they even call out Fred and Rosemary West in the show. Every child of the ‘90s nightmare parents. Back then as a little kid, you didn’t even know parents could do that stuff outside of fairytales, until you saw them on the news. They would have been Davis’s greatest fear, growing up then. So many tortured bodies buried in pretty country fields outside nice, peaceful little villages. And his parents were so similar.
So many long forgotten childhood horrors this thing dragged back up. Thanks so much for that, Charlie.
Monica Dolan, who played Janet (the Mum) in this, actually played Rosemary West in a mini-series called "Appropriate Adult" in 2011. She was also in an episode of "Midsomer Murders" in 2010, which of course starred John Nettles!

I absolutely hate the idea that a male boss can tell a pregnant woman when she needs to start her maternity leave, and that she will be delighted with that.

Unfortunately the plot reminded me a lot of Stargate: Universe.

Does anybody know whether Randy Couture, who played Bill Newsome, was L L Cool J's stand in, or maybe stunt double, please?

Was this the first time they ever mentioned looking at a suspect's WhatsApp messages?
I was disappointed that Hayley didn't think up a way to send the guys into a trap of some kind. For instance, presumably she knows places that are under police surveillance.

I would have liked them to have Ben properly address the fact that he had lost Eden for ever. Even if he and Grace have another baby, and even if it is a girl, and even if they miraculously managed to make her genetically identical to the original Eden, and name her Eden, she still wouldn't be the same person because all her experiences would be completely different. I know he got Grace, Cal, and his mother back but he seemed to take the loss of Eden much too lightly. Remember his reaction when she was kidnapped!
Now Ben and Michaela will have to worry about their Mom's "death date".

Hopefully the passengers' memories will not fade, at least not until Saanvi has cured Cal's cancer! Be a shame if she forgot how to do that.
There is some info in here about how they did the young Cal scenes:

I can't recall Angelina ever having callings, but everyone's callings (except Cal's) disappeared several episodes before this one, at least by 4.15 "Throttle."
Their callings didn't disappear, they just weren't getting through to the passengers. But Cal can intercept them by going (in his head) onto the plane and sitting in their seats.
-
So did Cal ever try to intercept Angelina's callings?
-
When Cal found he could intercept other passengers' callings a few episodes previously, I thought they should just have him get all the callings and have Michaela solve them all, for efficiency's sake. Now it's coming true!
I wonder whether the passengers could tunnel out of the DC?

Would it be an idea for the Stones to keep using the name Gabriel instead of saying Cal all the time if they want to keep his real identity secret?
Also, the passengers are being closely monitored but nobody except Saanvi noticed that Polly was pregnant?

Surely the best character witness that Larry could have called on his behalf would have been Richard to say that Larry gave him a kidney.
