I think that problem was rectified thanks to the publicity from the kids' kidnapping, I mean, abduction. There were tons of supporters outside and Judy said they were even up in the "high seats." I loved this episode and season. Keefe and Kelvin - I can't express how happy that kiss made me. I loved the absurdity of the plague of locusts (though I felt bad for the person or maybe multiple people who died). I loved the Gemstones' instinct to find and assist or protect their loved ones. As in "1776," God leans a little on the side of the Lees... and the Gemstones.

She did say she has no memory for faces. I really enjoyed this one except for the romance. I would have liked it better if they went through what they did and became friends, rather than sticking the romance in there. It bugged me a little that they kept saying the Vermeer was stolen from the Louvre. It was stolen during the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum heist.

I think Nicole has the money from Mr. Anderson. He said he gave it to Maddie, but she doesn't seem to remember that. I think Nicole got it somehow and has had it in her trunk. When the police chief told Maddie's mom and Nicole that Maddie could have been killed because someone wanted the Anderson money, Nicole felt guilty/scared and is now burying it. The janitor's mention of always finding secrets under desks, from the first episode, is suspicious to me, but the janitor himself is not. We see he's fairly free about giving away access to locked areas. I mildly suspect the teacher who helped Maddie's mom pass out flyers in the homecoming game episode. She gave me a weird vibe during their conversation, and Maddie's mom mentioned something about teachers not being paid enough, tying back to the money.

I think that's what the Tenavik was saying. When he saw the vision in the crystal, it was one possible future, but by taking the crystal he was committing himself to that future. They still are crazy rare, I don't imagine most people want to travel to a Klingon monastery and commit themselves to whatever future the crystals promise just to get one. The timey-wimey thing made me laugh when the tree was growing. "Um, guys? There's trees in the hallway again..." I wonder if Pike aged at all, even a little bit, at the monastery. Was his hair grayer at the end of the episode? It kind of seemed like it. Perhaps what happened to Airiam, being taken over, leads to avoidance of that kind of technology when it comes time for Pike to need medical assistance. That bugged me so much! For all they know, she's already come back and saved Michael again (and again, and again) before they even meet her. She could have sat with Michael on her deathbed as she dies of old age for crying out loud.

This is great, I rarely get to enjoy podcasts so I love it when there are transcripts.
