  1. Oh Gregory. You down bad, son. I was both cringing at his jealous antics and cracking up because, could he be any more obvious? I just know when Janine and Erica left, Erica said "Gurl. Ion know what he told you, but he wants him some Janine". I think that's why his dating app dates haven't worked, the heart wants what the heart wants. And Janine knows it too, when she asked him for flowers from his garden, to replace the ones from the district, and smiled. I still ship them because they are still very sparkly together. I'm thinking Manny is gonna ask her out for real and that's gonna push Gregory to confront his feelings. I try to remember these crazy kids are about 30 years younger than I am and don't have the extensive experience of navigating romantic relationships yet, so I give them some grace. We don't even know if Gregory has ever been in love before and been in a long term relationship. We know Janine was with Tariq since she was a teen so she's only recently dated outside of that. It can be frustrating, when you look at them from a more mature eye. But when I remember these characters are still in their 20s, their actions make more sense. 

    Between the book club and the double date, I laughed a lot. Oh, and Jacob apologizing to Avi, and Avi saying he had a great time cuz Gregory was so messy? I cracked up. I was also watching his reactions to Gregory's foolishness in the bar and he really was enjoying it lol. 

    Come on, Quinta, we almost there. Let us have this before the end of the season!

    What is the episode number? I might try to track it down because I can't remember for sure, either.

    Yes, he was kneeling with his hands behind his head I believe and Angie was about to put the cuffs on him when murder teen walked into the kitchen, grabbed a knife, then walked back over and stabbed him in the neck. Angie was deeply stupid for taking the fall and should get fired. But honestly I just wanna forget about the whole ridiculous mess and I can do that if murder teen gets yeeted off canvas. 🤷🏽‍♀️

    Patty! That was her name. And agreed, she's another actor who made the absolute most of her role. I loved Will's commitment to his lawyer character, he went all the way in. I do wish they had let Faith either kill a couple more bad guys or at least completely incapacitate them. I hope the mean girls in the wedding know she saved their sorry asses. She should bring that up every time they get together. Just "Hey girl, good to see you. And you know why? Cause I saved your life. Thank me, bitch." I would, I don't know if Faith is as petty as me though. 😉

  3. I just don't feel like Angie loves Will the way he loves her. Maybe it's the way Erika is playing it but, it feels like she cares about him because of what they went through together as children and he's her safe space. That is not a good foundation and like Cricket said, Will deserves nice things and I will die on that hill. At any moment Angie could spiral, and she needs some intensive therapy. I don't feel like she can truly love Will or anyone else without putting in the work on her mental health. And her sleeping with her doctor to blackmail him into signing off on her returning to work was some really sick shit, and she did it without any remorse. I don't think Will would ever do something like that, and for me, that's the difference in their damage. I completely get why Angie is the way she is, but I can have empathy for her and still not want her anywhere near Will in a romantic capacity. 

    Faith inviting Amanda over for dinner was lovely, and Amanda looked so relieved and happy. Well, as much as Captain Wagner's daughter can look happy lol!

    Will was devastatingly handsome in his suit. I loved his tailor - honestly, show, y'all are killing it with the side characters in Will's world. Bring him back and toss murder teen into that sinkhole I keep hoping opens up under Ormewood's house. Please and thank you.  

    And that is this show's main problem that I hope they resolve in season 3 - making the APD cops and their stories as interesting as the GBI folks and their characters. I do love Franklin and their boss with his unflappable deadpan delivery. Maybe they can transfer to GBI and scuttle the whole APD plots altogether because it truly feels like 2 different shows, and I only like the one with Will and Faith in it. 🤷🏽‍♀️

    I'm still waiting for the water heater noise to lead to some kind of revelation. It's been mentioned in multiple episodes. But it might also just be an old water heater that's noisy.

    I bet it's Patience, the underground feral ghost. She found her way to the house but is now lost in the pipes somehow. 😁

  5. Wow that was a pulse pounding episode and they surprised me at almost every turn.....except the teen waitress murderer bullshit. Maybe it was all the criming in the episode that got me but, that chick needs to disappear and be forgotten. There is not a single fuck in my entire body to give to that girl's damage. Seriously. I will never care about her or her mom or Angie's feelings towards her or about who gave her the hickey or anything at all to do with that storyline. 

    I am glad they cut it to have Angie and Ormewood join the main story because goodness, all the excitement from that story came to a screeching halt every time they switched to the B team. And it wasn't needed, at all. Faith was bad ass, and that fight to Cupid shuffle? And the asthma lady getting in the groove while still a hostage had me hollering. 

    I wish Betty had jumped between Will and Angie, and kept interrupting til they stopped. Will deserves Cricket. #NeverForget 🤷🏽‍♀️

  6. I had it a feeling it was gonna be the expert. There was just something off about her from the start, and her glomming onto Folsom felt disingenuous. Plus all the protective gear during the heist pointed to someone very familiar with handling nuclear material. A good episode though, except, what happened to the hooker? Weren't her hands burned by the radiation? Wouldn't she have gotten sick and died too? Or at least had to seek medical attention. Seems like a dropped plot point.

    Agreed about the creepy robot in Max's office. Ain't no way I'd have that thing stood up next to me.

    It’s also available on Peacock for a few more days….

    Loved the costumes! I really like this cozy mystery series. I like that Goldy and her ex get along like adults. They don’t snipe at each other. 

    Yes, this. It's nice to see. Both have moved on and the ex actually likes Tom, and Goldy liked the ex's new squeeze, until she got strangled and then blowed up. Goldy and Tom have really good chemistry and I'm glad they finally kissed. When Track's father showed up unannounced and then told Tom his dad escaped, I knew he would end up being the actual bad guy. It didn't prevent me from enjoying the story though. I liked the 'Clue' nature of it all and as someone else said, the costumes were beautiful. And Olive is growing up before our eyes, aww. Will definitely watch this again.

  8. 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. 🤷🏽‍♀️😁

  9. 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.

    Outside of the cold open and Melissa's impressions I thought this episode was terrible. It was so predictable. We knew Questlove was going to show up. We knew Janine would end up back at Abbott. I did not find the writing funny or even enjoyable. 

    Janine looks like an idiot for her behaviour these past few episodes. She decides to go work for the district, doesn't understand that means doing projects with any and all of the schools, not just Abbott, behaves so erratically when she's being onboarded and then changes her mind during her welcome party. It makes me feel like all her progress this season at being more professional and confident was for nothing because she didn't behave that way at all dealing with this decision.

    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.

  11. 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. 😂

  12. 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. 😒

    I think Flower was the heart of the ghosts. We see how much Thorfin loved her. She had some sweet talks with Hetty and Trevor. The writers have also introduced two new characters which have caused conflict. I've wanted Jay to see the ghosts from the beginning so Sam doesn't have to cope with them by herself.

    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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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. 🤷🏽‍♀️

  16. 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.

    Did Antonio Miranda not know his sister had a baby, why did he not take Will with him?

    It was confusing, I couldn't tell if Antonio Miranda lived in Puerto Rico or Georgia, what caused him to settled down in Georgia, it seems like a weird choice.

    Why would Ro shoot her mother Judge Ringgold, after she finally accepts her son's lifestyle. Judge Ringgold probably would have been happy for Gabe to return to the family, it was the Step-father that would be keeping them apart, I could understand if he was the one that Ro shot instead of her mother.

    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! 😂

  18. 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.

  19. 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. 😒

  20. 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.

  21. 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.

  22. 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. 😒

  23. I love Betty but yeah, I don't need her shoved into episodes constantly. I'll take more of Faith and Amanda over Betty any day though, since they can actually verbally spar with Will. If we're getting rid of characters to make room for more Betty though? Bye, Ormewood. I don't care about you or your sad wife. And, fuck them kids too. 🤷🏽‍♀️

    I'd honestly be ok with them getting rid of both Ormewood and Angie. As someone stated above, it feels like 2 different shows, and when they aren't connected to the main mystery they feel completely irrelevant. I'm already tired of the teen girl that killed her mom's boyfriend popping up. I'm positive that coverup is gonna come back around, unfortunately. 

    Who has the mother fucking balls to target Amanda?? Could James Ulster be involved somehow? I want to see Will affected by his surrogate mom being stalked, and for him to realize how much she loves him. It probably won't happen but, I want a real, loving hug between them. Ever since they showed Young Amanda picking baby Will up out of the brand new crib she bought for him and the utter look of love on her face, I have wanted to see them hug for real.  I feel like that's a payoff the audience deserves but the show is holding it back. 

    I did enjoy the humor in the B plot with the ex-wives. And, it actually did make sense to me since this show is set in Atlanta and one of the Real Housewives was set there for years as well. Given that they used Phaedra, I'm guessing that was the writers thoughts too. Atlanta has become a production site for Hollywood and of course Tyler Perry so I won't be surprised if there are other storylines that pull from that as well.  

    I wonder if Will will tell Nico about his dyslexia. I could see Nico, in their capacity as Will's 'Albert', helping him find ways to learn to read better so he doesn't get so frustrated. He could still use his recorder for crime scene notes. And I absolutely loved Faith having Will's back and making him talk about the visions he's been seeing. And Will giving her compliments after pissing her off, they could do that more too lol! 

    Almost forgot - I did call that the one guy was involved somehow from jump, with drugging the girl and her boyfriend. And, the NotDead guy was living in the woods and would end up being innocent.

  24. That open was GOLD, JERRY! I so wish they could give ensemble awards because these Abbott kids are perfection. The little girl that Ava blocked played that scene like a pro. The look on her adorable wee face, the arm out like, 'Did you just see what this grown adult did to me??' The kids clapping when Barbara made a basket for them, all the shots to the head the teachers took. I laughed so hard I almost asphyxiated. 😂

    I'm so proud of our girl. She is taking charge and like Ava, she is that bitch. When she jumped in and did her CPR test after slipping in and out, kicked the dummy, dapped the teacher, and bounced? I felt like a proud parent, my chest got big ngl lol. Of course she remembers her CPR. If she'd been there when the instructor was quizzing them, she would've got everything right. Because that's not something she's gonna half-ass, ever. Like she said, shit ain't changed in 3 years, she got this. And, did Manny have a look when Janine mentioned she had to renew her CPR certificate in order to go back to teaching? I kinda felt like he might have been interrupting her on purpose, but to what end exactly? So that she stays at the district because she's doing well at the work, or because he wants to get with her? Or both? I get this feeling he's ambitious, and he's eyeing her like he wants her to be his power couple partner. If he did try to sabotage her certification, he can go all the way to Hell in his turtleneck and sports coat, do not pass Go. 😒

    Their guest star game is very good. Hey Tatyana! You look good, hunni. Someone on Twitter suggested Yvette Nicole Brown as Barbara's younger sister and now I want that more than anything. 

    I've seen panelists like that, lots of cliches with no substance. I loved seeing Ava loving on her Abbott family. They're a great group of teachers and even her vain self can see that.
