I'm thinking the Deal Mart wasn't always a Deal Mart so those ghosts were bound to the land, not the multiple businesses that probably were there before the big box store. Like Thor and Sass and Isaac, before the house was built. I think Pete could find his family if he knows the name of the resort. He could listen in to conversations til he found someone heading that way, especially if it's a resort. Or, there could be airport ghosts he could ask directions, if they were local. He's a scout and a travel agent, I think he'll do ok. 😉 I'm with Alberta, that thruple is gonna be a train wreck. Oh! I KNEW Carol was hoeing around, I said it a few episodes ago. I'm too lazy to look for the post though. 🤷🏽‍♀️😁

From what I've gathered watching, I think the owners plan to use it as an event space as well. They talked about cheese and wine tastings, and that outdoor dining area kinda looked like it could also be used by a small wedding party. I can definitely see it as like a destination wedding space, with the wedding party staying at the house, and the kitchen was big enough for a small catering team. So there could be other uses that help them recoup their costs sooner.

I get that, but for me it wasn't idiotic, it was Janine faced with 2 choices and once that became very clear to her, she kinda freaked about it. It was her 'Buridan's donkey' moment, one I've had myself, so I understood her conflicting feelings.

Oh Hetty! 😭 Flower!!! ❤️ There was so much information in this episode, I think I still need to process. But damn, what an emotional rollercoaster ride it was. I think Carol is hoeing it up around the house with other ghosts. We'll find out when Nancy drops that she caught Carol going at it in the basement with one of the cholera guys. And it wasn't the first time, or the first guy. I wonder if Flower will be hurt that Thor slept with Carol too. I wonder how many times it will be brand new information for our sweet, forgetful girl. 😂

I hollered for a solid 2 minutes when the cafeteria woman got pissed at Mr. Johnson and cleared the whole lunch table! I haven't seen The Bear either but it reminded me of every food comp show ever, except of course for the table clearing lol! I don't even care, I'm glad Janine is back at Abbott. Maybe in a few years she will decide she wants to do more but there is absolutely nothing wrong at all that she went back. She can keep her growth and still go back to teaching because that's where her heart is. And while she did great at the district fellowship, it was obvious through the messages from the children that she is an amazing teacher that these kids will remember for the rest of their lives. And that kind of impact in a child's life is priceless. So for me, her choice wasn't backwards and didn't erase any of her growth, I think it will make her an even better teacher. "She pregnant." "Look at her feet!" Never change, Ava and Mr. Johnson! 😂 And, I see you Gregory - that look of alarm that she might be carrying Tariq's baby. And then later during the dance party, they was doing some serious eye fucking. Gat damn, Quinta PULL THE FUCKING TRIGGER ALREADY. If there ain't some serious macking happening between them by the finale, Imma have some words. 😒

THIS!! This is why the ghosts have felt obnoxious to me this season - because Flower has been absent. For all her wackiness, she is absolutely the sweetest of all the ghosts. I don't think there's a mean spirited bone in her body, and not having that character with the pure heart to offset the childish demands of the others has been felt by me. It just feels like Jay has been treated like the resident butt monkey this season, and I need for him to get a few wins before the finale.

I really enjoyed Legend of the Lost Locket. The leads had nice chemistry and no one was irritating. The supporting cast was good, and I don't remember seeing any of them in other HM movies so if this was their first go-round, they did a good job. I liked Marcus's humor, I got a good chuckle when he saw Amelia running toward him to apologize, said 'No', and turned around lol. I don't watch When Calls the Heart so I wasn't familiar with the leads but I liked both and hope to see them in other movies in the future. And, no wonder Amelia's accent was good, the actress is actually British so good job, show. I'll definitely watch this one again.

Isaac's bachelor party was GOLD, JERRY! GOLD!! I loved how the stripper wasn't at all phased by stripping to an 'empty' chair, he gets paid regardless lol. Oh, and Sam was into it too because at the end when she was in bed with Jay, she asked him to say the line from Crocodile Dundee in an Australian accent, like the stripper. I see you, Sam. 😉 Ok, it's past time for Jay to get some kind of huge win/gift from the ghosts. They seem to have forgotten how hurt he was when Sass was invading his dreams, and then to just let Saul jerk off onto him (hee hee 🤭) without asking. I really really need the ghosts to care about Jay and all that he does for them more than they're currently showing. Even his restaurant dreams had to take them into consideration so I need the ghosts to show up and show out for him in a big way. Huge way. Otherwise, for me, the show loses a bit of its heart if it's all just him giving in and being taken advantage of. It becomes mean spirited and then I will just want Jay to get the Hell away from all of them and go be happy because I'm rooting for him above everyone else at this point. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Well I tried again to watch the new Hannah movie last night, and got annoyed all over again. What's the deal with the Norman dude and why is he emotionally cheating on his long term girlfriend with Hannah? Why does Hannah lead him on and rope him into helping her when she's completely aware of how he feels about her and knows he's supposed to be in a committed relationship with someone else? Someone that she apparently knows but doesn't give enough of a crap about to stop using her man? It doesn't in any way endear either character to me, it makes her look like a selfish asshole and extremely immature, and Norman looks like a trash ass man. I didn't think this was supposed to be Days of Our Lives for Hallmark. 😒 On another note, I'm looking forward to the new Curious Caterer movie. I like the Goldy character a lot.

Antonio said he was 2 years younger and Lucy ran away with her boyfriend, so I don't think he knew about her having a child. I think he lived in Georgia then moved back to Puerto Rico for a while, then moved back to Georgia again. He mentioned he was a professor, so maybe teaching brought him back. I'm interested to know what his curricula is. I don't think Rowan knew her mom had made up with her brother, she didn't go inside the club, she was outside. From what I gather, she was angry about her brother not coming back for her and really hated how she had been raised. She mentioned not being allowed to say his name after he left. So I gathered that she didn't know her mother had had an epiphany after the car accident, and was just really emotionally damaged. The stepfather was a straight asshole and she blamed her mom for bringing that fuckstick into their home. She regretted it as soon as she did it because they made a big deal about the shooter using the judge's pashmina to try to stop the bleeding. I wouldn't think too much deeper about it than that lol. Oh! I almost forgot about Josiah, during the false confession and Angie said 'manila envelope' and Josiah said 'Oh, you do know how to pronounce it'. There were so many good things in this episode, I also completely forgot about Faith calling HR on Amanda and HR answering and knowing exactly who it was and what she was calling about! 😂

Omg favorite episode so far! And I didn't even mind Ormewood and his French braid problems, BonBon for the win lol! Between the 'All Amanda's kids' car ride and the 'vanilla envelope' scenes, I was gasping for air, I laughed so damn hard. I would not at all mind the club characters making a return visit, they were fantastic. And the son trying to take the blame for his sister, he did not get any of the details right at all. When he yelled about his mom and her butch car choices, I hollered. The last scenes in the club were very well filmed because I wasn't at all sure someone wouldn't get hurt, so that was a nice tension. I teared up at the family dinner. Will has more people who care about him than he realizes and I love that for him. I'm still not over Cricket but this was really nice. I will definitely watch this episode again. Well done, high marks all around.

I'm not a fan of the Hannah movies, I've tried multiple times to watch them but everyone just seems so immature for their actual ages and it's very annoying for me. I never liked Cameron Mathison as an actor so I decided to try the series again now that he's gone and Victor Webster is on board (I do like him), and I still couldn't get through the new movie. It feels like the writers are writing for 20-30 something aged characters and Alison is almost 50. So their actions and dialogue don't match with the real-life ages of the actors and that is throwing me completely out of the series. Victor's character was the only one who's demeanor matched their age for me. Now, I am 56 and as silly as they come, so it's not the humor. Hannah, her sister, and her mom all act like they're fresh out of college or something and the immaturity is just too glaring for me. On another note.....do the Hallmark movie channel programmers have some kinda side deal with the convicted criminal known as Lori Loughlin? Because they have been showing those damn Garage Sale movies like Lori has their kids tied up in her basement. 😒

The SWAT scene was terrible but man, Ramon and Sonja were terrific. From Amanda's first expression when she saw the red dot on her, to Will ready to fight and yelling at them about who they was fuckin with, back to Amanda's expression when they slammed her face down on the ground and the fear and PTSD that had to come up for her. Bravo. Will and Amanda and Faith and even Paul Campano have layers. And I think therein lies my issue with Ormewood. He started off one dimensional and stayed that way. The writers are now trying to give him layers with his sad family life but it's much too late at this point for me. He's background noise and I wish he would stay there. When the GPD and GBI cases don't cross, I have no use for the regular cops. I wish they would restructure in S3 and drop them and just have the GBI stories.

I didn't really enjoy the freeloader storyline tonight. I'm a little tired of the 'Sam and Jay get screwed over by terrible guests' plots. I get that they're supposed to be new in the B&B world but they're both intelligent adults, and the incompetence the writers choose to inject are getting a little tiresome. The last conversation with Jeremy before he left, he talked about being the only guest there the whole time. If this is supposed to be a consequence from Carol dying there and them losing business, I kinda wish they played those beats as well. I did enjoy the side stories. But, am I the only one who never believed Carole's apology back then? I felt like she was putting on an act because it was expected but she was actually an asshole. So I wasn't surprised by this behavior like others were because this feels like the real Carole to me. And she's just a terrible person. So she can get sucked down and join Elias. She could be his new Hell, constantly hitting on him. She is so not his type.

Is it possible I care even less for Ormewood and his sad family than I did last week? Why yes, yes it is. His whole story just feels like an attempt to make him less of a caricature and it so not working for me in any way. It's actually making it worse because now I actively dislike his entire family - wife, kids, sister-in-law, the man who cheated with the wife, the mental health facility the wife ran to, the writers for subjecting us to this storyline, the episode director, the showrunners, hair & makeup, even the craft food service people. That is how much I dislike the Ormewood character. Like, I'm actively rooting for a sinkhole to open up and just swallow his whole house with everybody inside. No survivors. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I am also Team Amanda, all day every day. And her father was a piece of shit for telling her to hide it, and he should've been the one hunting that man down for what he did to his daughter. That man needed to be put down like the animal he was. And, if I'm not mistaken, didn't Faith help out a wrongly accused prisoner last season? Helped hide him from the actual murderer who turned out to be a cop? Faith, gurl, you need to get your ass up off your shoulders with that attitude towards Amanda. 😒
