Memento Vivere

Do we know why no one from Gage's family has come to visit the new baby (linked thread above said he had a brother)? Even if they didn't want to be on camera, it seems like a throw-away line about them visiting would have worked. I find it odd that Gage seems to have little identity outside of Jeff, which explains the weird masochistic thing between them. Even when he "stands up" for himself, it's tempered without any consequence behind it. Oh, and Jeff was a straight up asshole in that flashback of him saying he would have a line of boys at the ready if he left Gage. What a toxic environment for Monroe to grow up in. Unless Jeff turns her into a mini-me and then she and Jeff gang up on Gage!

Good point. I just think that there has to be some connection between the cop's fetish world and the fact that it looks like Cora was involved with something similar the night she was with Maddie. I believe the cop's sex life has to be significant for some reason, otherwise why would they spend so much time on it?

My husband made a good point I hadn't thought about after this week's episode. In one of Cora's memories, we see someone step on a person's chest, making a God-awful cracking sound. Could it be that the detective's predilection for rough sex and domination could coincide with Cora's lost night in that house? It would explain why they included a seemingly random character attribute such as BDSM to his storyline. Maybe he's so obsessed with her story because he was there the night of July 3 and knows who/what caused all of this.

Oh, the tweets. Randy is always right there to put his two cents in when no one asked for it and Leah needs to stop with the passive aggressiveness. Maybe if the original quad were appreciative of this easy ass job they have, the producers wouldn't have had to bring in another mom to make a point. If you want to complain about abbreviated segments, direct your ire at Kail and Jenelle who refused to film with certain people, threw fits on a daily, and deliberately obfuscated part of their lives in order to pull the diva card. While adding a fifth storyline does clip the segments a bit, I am glad the producers made a power move to show who's in control of the show. It's about time.
