I thought the same and with Maggie standing behind him in the house I thought the story would be her getting shot. . . does she survive???

I thought Lindsey was amazingly dumb this episode. I would get not sharing her ideal with Omar to avoid looking like a tight 2 but that was not her reasoning. The assumption that they would or would not rehide an idol was silly. Unless they gave her a rule sheet that said "if an idol expires, we will not add another idol to the game" why would she assume they would not hide one. We've seen them hide them after someone gets kicked out with an idol in their pocket. Playing it or not has never been a key factor in "does another idol show up." So, I can't see basing your game on trying to keep them from hiding one. The show is going to shower you with idols or not depending on what they want to do,

Falcner's death on Sisters gutted me. Clooney and Ward had such great chemistry

Agree 100%. The scene was an example of her figuring out and providing what each child needed. Kevin's reaction to the tooth fairy reminded me of my youngest--who when told the tooth fairy would come insisted I put the TF pillow next to his bed and not put it under his pillow. His reasoning was he did not want the TF waking him up! I was crying solid pretty much from the scene where Kevin puts lotion on his mom's hands. My last visit with my Nana involved a lot of sitting with her and rubbing lotion on her hands. I was sobbing through the end of the episode. I thought it was really well done. I don't care about things being realistic--I was glad they came up with a good way for her to stay in the house.

I do not like Jo and Linc as a couple. I hate storylines where I'm supposed to be waiting for the couple to finally come together but I feel the opposite. We've done gotten high by mistake storylines before. I don't find them interesting.

I feel for Winston because he truly has a complete idiot for a brother.

Omar is in serious risk of overplaying. The lie to Mike worked but could have blown up--if Mike had decided to blow up at Hai. It could still if Omar is in the final and Mike decides to vote for someone else (assuming Mike goes out) because Hai tells him the truth. I thought Omar could have gotten the same result with a more subtle approach. Mike was already annoyed with Hai. . . mention how I'd like to work with you but it seems like you are super tight with Hai. . . Hai sure is playing hard. . . I'm not sure that it impacted what happened but what a dumb lie by Hai. Why would he expect Jonathan to believe he would play an idol for him? and not to take out the leader of the anti-Jonathan effort but to get Romeo? If he really was going to make that big move play, you would organize a big blindside of whoever you convince J is running the show. It was so obviously a lie. Don't bother lying if you don't have something better than that.

fair point--but in my fan waving version, they kept some stuff in the cabin. . .

I loved it. I wanted the happy ending and it was nicely done. Happy for Kevin. In my world, he doesn't carry the Valentine for all 40 years. At some point, he came across it in his box of elementary school stuff and chose to keep it. That's my story.

I always found hollow bunnies a bummer as a kid. The interrogation thing is so true. Almost any book you find about someone getting wrongly convicted involves harsh interrogations where someone gets badgered to confess. This show reminded me to chat with my boys--ask for a lawyer, keep asking for one and remember police can lie to you about the evidence. Anyone short on sleep, overwhelmed by the situation and getting lied to about the evidence could find themselves confessing.

* I don't like the hourglass challenge but this was at least better in that the winners had some warning the person picked would get power-and the chance to go instead. I'd still prefer they drop it * Tori is reminding me of Angela. It made no sense to tell Rocksroy "we sent you so you'd get the power" but at the same time essentially say "and once you got it, you were not supposed to use it." *I'm glad they picked Rocksroy since he seemed to enjoy it more than anyone would * I didn't see any chance he didn't smash the glass UNLESS he came up with some "it would be dishonorable; this is like a participation trophy" type view of it. There was a moment he mentioned honor and I thought he might go there * I last ate at Applebee's around 1991. It was with my now husband when $$ were short. It was awful. I regretted not just going to McDonald's. My husband and I made a "life decision" to never eat there again. When our kids were little and would react to an Applebee's after hearing the ads, and ask us why we never went there, my husband would insist that they only served broccoli as our little inside joke. It cracked me up when Jeff announced Applebee's. I know we wouldn't make the show, but any takes with a member of my family would involve commentary like "I made a life decision in 1991 to never eat there again, but since I'm starving, I guess I'll eat it." or "My parents hated Applebee's so much they lied to us and told us they only served broccoli. This will be my first time to ever eat their food."

I felt badly for the Ivy/no chemo case. Just sad. Just realized we no longer see any of Dr Charles' daughter. I liked Dr Scott taking out the attacker. The transplant case was a lot. I knew there was no way you just approve a donor in minutes. I haven't read the article but how successful have post-transplant pregnancies been? I would worry that a transplanted uterus would have issues during a pregnancy.

I, too, thought of Calvin and Hobbes. I think the show is pro Kate but you can see both parties getting some blame. I also got some of her freak out with the leaky ceiling. I'm much more quick to freak out when something breaks and people are over. It amps up the stress. The door knob thing reminded me of my oldest, who for whatever reason would not touch door knobs for a long time. We opted to roll with it and enjoyed not needing to add safety locks or anything throughout our house. If a door was closed, that was a baby-proof barrier. In contrast, I had friends who had to add extra locks at the top of their front door, otherwise toddler would head out on his own.

I was so bummed when I saw that Glasses was going to be in this episode. But I will admit he provided the 2 parts that made me laugh: (a) him realizing it was his mom because of too many hashtags (b) his mom toppling down the stairs--something about that was funny (even though real life falling down the stairs is not).

the dinner seemed very unrealistic--there at least needed to be more people there to expect it to be anything but awful. Glad they ended the Emmet thing. Maya is increasingly annoying.

I enjoyed this episode. I don't hate watch This is Us so I easily skip over parts that are not 100% realistic. I watch it for the heart warming moments. I cried several times. I adored the side by side tooth brushing scenes.

Hate to read it like a lawyer, but if the rules say "next immunity challenge" I don't see how that means "any immunity challenge. Seems like they should have deleted "next" and just said you have to read this at the same challenge where 2 other crazy phrases are read. I had the same thoughts--and posted mine before reading yours. What is the meaning of "next"? why is that word there if it doesn't mean "the next one you go to."

agreed with others that this was dull I could not see getting on to Owen for yelling at the residents to go do their jobs. You don't just opt to watch surgery if you are supposed to be assisting with another surgery. Can they not film this stuff? I don't see how you can see much of anything from that gallery anyway.

I realize this is a show and we are supposed to overlook a lot, but this does push the envelope. It's not like they can just run down to the shop or hop in their car, tell mom they are going out to grab a burger and then swing by the shop. The whole carriage thing takes some setting up. It's not grabbing an Uber. Which is among the reasons why I was not happy with the "Pen is LW" thing in season 1--it just didn't make sense at all how some teenager would pull all that off. I was willing to just ignore that this season--and at least they showed some of it (her posing as acting on behalf of her mistress) and pulled in a helper--but still hard to take, not to mention El's ability to get anywhere when she wants.

thank you--I was wondering if I was missing something. Eloise knows and Pen sits down to go back to writing. How does that work? what prevents Eloise from exposing her? I'm not sure what Eloise would have to lose at this point --and even if she calms down and doesn't want to hurt her friend, does this mean Pen just stops writing about the Bridgerton's?

I so agree with keeping Glasses away. Please do not bring him back. I liked Jo with the brother. Please somehow keep him. No JO and Linc. Linc's scene with Amelia explaining why he can't do small talk was my favorite. Bring them back together. The snake stuff was good; glad they did not kill it Very weird to have Faruck recover so instantly. Took me a second to figure out who he was supposed to be. I thought Owen was going to trip, fall, hurt himself more rather than miraculously walk. I don't get Meredith and the research stuff. All she does is stand around. and I find it weird they try to make all the surgeons into part time researchers

my favorite part was Kevin painting--because he reached back to (I believe season 1) for that reference and the painting episode with him, Annie and Tess is one of my favorites.

there was a lot of fan waving you had to do with the letter--that it was ever written by Ellis, that it was in a loose box (more believable--they find it in a box that was sealed up a long time ago so no one realized it was there), that Ellis stayed involved enough with Maggie to know her name (given the times when open adoptions were rare and what we know of Ellis's cold nature, that was really unlikely). I agree this was dull--the previews for this episode looked boring and it didn't disappoint with that regard. I don't care about Nick's niece and it's not like she was dropping out of high school. They need to get everyone who is a main character in Seattle and start writing some interesting stories.

agree completely. Miguel was a jerk. Here is Kevin happily showing people the plans and he for no apparent reason asks about a guest house/guest quarters. It wasn't like that is such an obvious thing. So if you are going to go "you missed X" you should explain why--otherwise you are the jerk.

I thought it was cute that they showed Maryann childhood photos and she's there with the biggest smile on her face. So, the big smile thing is just who she is. I can see how she may get to be annoying but for now I think she is sweet. Rocksroy is one of those people who lacks the ability to be thoughtful in what he says. You can have thoughts about poor work ethic, we should do it this way, sandy shoes bug me, but you obviously need to self-edit before saying that outloud. Looks like he has zero skills in that department. I was neutral on Zach vs Tori but ok with it being Zach. He seemed like another Cochran type and I'm ok not getting more of those.
