It's one of the the reasons I've watched everything she's been in. The nuttier, the better.

They can't afford a small coffee but they got muffins?

I have a low tolerance for everyone involved in this but Jessica Capshaw, so I don't know that I'll be able to hang. I'm bitter that they spun this off but didn't keep Lone Star, even though I can't stand Rob Lowe. The rest of the cast was great.

I think Gypsy's pathology (or one of them) is only knowing how to get attention by acting out/being inappropriate. She never learned "normal"/healthy interaction between people in a relationship. She never went to school. All regular childhood activities, friendships, interactions, feelings, etc. were squelched by her mother. She doesn't know how to act around adults because she only had one person in her life who was feeding her complete lies and manipulating actual physicians, which completely blows my mind. I couldn't get pain meds when I recently broke my wrist, and these people were PERFORMING NEEDLESS SURGERY on this child. Imagine having to start from scratch in your mid-20s--in prison, no less--trying to build trust in other people when your sole guiding adult has told you people can't be trusted so you must lie to them. My mother treated me similarly in my childhood (not Munchausen by Proxy, but because of my father's infidelity, she drilled into me that I can't trust anyone but myself) and it still affects me decades later. This is also why I'm so touched by Rod's efforts to build his relationship with Gypsy. He was kept from her when she was a child, and he is choosing to repair their relationship and be a healthy and active part of her life. He is what every parent of divorce should be. I only wish my bio father could be half the man Rod is.

I don't know, y'all. Ken was WAY out of line threatening to move back to Texas and file for sole custody of Aurora (that name...) if Gypsy saw Ryan for the paternity test. I totally get his frustration, and Gypsy absolutely needed to cut the shit with Ryan, but Ken was doing the same thing as Ryan--treating the kid as a pawn in their power play. Despite Ken looking at engagement rings at the end of the show, I'm sorry to say that I don't see him and Gypsy lasting. I think he wants to be a good dad, but him giving Gypsy that ultimatum when they've been together such a short time is a HUGE red flag. Ryan was RIDICULOUS to insist on another paternity test. My dude, the baby isn't yours and another test isn't going to magically make it so. I'm so tired of him and his weird facial hair. I really want one of his loyal followers to take him and whip him into shape physically and mentally. I'm not body-shaming, as I'm not a small gal myself (I lost ~80 pounds over the past two years). I just think he'd be so much happier if he worked on himself instead of focusing on Gypsy and what he supposedly lost. Also, he could just pull up his damn pants.

Ryan is PATHETIC. I really do not want to see his sadsack ass pontificating about how because the baby was born early, it could be his. Gypsy took a paternity test that proved the kid isn't his. Him refusing to sign over paternity is RIDICULOUS. It's a power grab. They both need to cut ties from each other completely. And Ken threatening to take the baby when Gypsy is trying to establish paternity BECAUSE Ryan is being a shithead over it is so childish. None of these people need a child.

I can't even watch the impressions of him on SNL. HATE.

I will never understand people spending actual time and energy to show up just to hate. Yes, Gypsy committed a felony. She was also abused for 24 YEARS, and none of us can begin to understand what that was like. Two things can be true. I believe in restorative justice for most crimes (I can't get on board with forgiving SA/rape perpetrators), and I think Gypsy has shown what justice can look like. I don't agree with many of her choices, but I also can't imagine what her life has been like. I know Kristy is a shit-stirrer, but I love how much she cares for Gypsy. Rod continues to impress me. He's genuinely sorry for having left Gypsy in an abusive situation and has made amends. He loves Gypsy and supports her, even if he doesn't agree with her. She's fortunate to have her family.

@MediaZone4K, it's common knowledge around these and similar forums that you can't post about future episodes in a previous episode thread. Would you kindly edit your original post to remove the spoiler? Thank you in advance.

CPS/DSS (Department of Social Services) doesn't give a shit in my experience. I called them about my former upstairs neighbors who had two kids under four years old in a two-bedroom apartment with at least three or four adults. The place was a wreck and there was no actual bed for the kids to sleep on. The kids were up until past 2:30 am most nights, screaming and running wild nonstop for the entire three years they lived above us. Because I wasn't "seeing" physical signs of abuse or neglect, DSS wouldn't do a thing.

This. The latest thing on true crime and reality TV is to feature someone(s) with a YouTube Channel or Instagram account for nothing more than having an opinion, and it's ridiculous. I do not care what some random jackass with an internet connection thinks.

I completely agree. As much as I dunk on this show, I was really touched at the outpouring of love and support Gypsy and Ken's families showed them. I don't get that from my family, and I've never gotten anything worse than a speeding ticket. The shower was lovely. I love Rod. There is absolutely nothing better than a parent that recognizes their mistakes and commits to doing better. I wish I had a father like him.

The ads being "silently" introduced was such a great dig at Amazon Prime and Netflix itself, both of which for YEARS provided a standard service that all of a sudden became substandard with ads--but you can pay more to have a higher, better tier with no ads! I kept thinking how they should sue the brain harvesting service just like we should all sue all of these services that keep doing the same thing to all of us. The only successful backlash against subscription services I've heard of was the BMW seat warmers. The rest of us poor folk just take our lumps and like it. I actually pay only for the lowest tier of Netflix with ads...which just went up a dollar last month.🥴

Yeah, while I don't disagree that Karen is problematic on a few levels, I really don't think she killed John. I fully believe all the other cops involved in this situation did it and tried (poorly) to frame her. My deadbeat father was a police officer and detective, and I can tell you that there's no such thing as a good cop. Cops protect each other but will also rain hell upon whoever crosses them, including fellow officers. My father--a man sworn to uphold the law--refused to pay child support for my two sisters and I until my mother was finally able to get his wages garnished. The system absolutely protected him. He is abusive and got away with everything because: cop.

I've made it through 2.5 episodes (I watch it when work is slow--don't tell!), and dear god, those kids are OBNOXIOUS.
