My girl Chelsea :-( Stupid Rick. YMMV, but I was glad the blonde blob ended on a positive note. Old Longtime friends are so important and you can have knock-down, drag-out fights with them and then make up the next day. You're like sisters in that way. Did not care for Belinda's heel turn this episode or her listening to her dumbass son. Like girl, young people are idiots (myself included at that age), so why the fuck are you getting advice from him about how to handle a murderer who knows that you know he's a murderer? They were both in over their heads and were lucky they didn't end up dead. Hopefully this'll be the last we see of GregGary.

Victoria is more on top of things than she seems. I agree with the poster who thought it was smart of her to tell Piper to stay in the monastery for the night. I have a feeling Piper will hate it, but she also might be so stubborn that she won't admit it. Although this could all be moot once they find out they're broke. As uncomfortable as this whole incest storyline is, I was reading an article in the Washington Post over the summer about a guy who had been adopted as a baby and when he did one of those DNA kits, he found out his bio dad was also his grandfather. They quoted an expert as saying that incest is more common than people think, but it's hard to get an exact number because even anonymously people don't want to admit anything.

In the first episode, I was concerned that the whole trip would always be 2 (Jaclyn and Kate) against 1 (Laurie), but I think having it just be three friends in the group was a really smart move because it has felt like constantly shifting allegiances that you wouldn't necessarily get with an even number of people. Tonight was Kate's turn to be the one I was least annoyed with; and the only one with common sense. All the vague spoilers and guesses about the incest story were so over the top that when it finally happened I was like "That's it?" Not that you should be French kissing a sibling, but that was nothing compared to what some redditors were guessing. And at least they have some plausible deniability with the drinking and the molly. It feels like Lachlan has constantly been pulled between his brother and sister - who would be the bigger influence on his life, who would he align himself with? Now he seems to be blazing his own path...of party monster. Honestly did not see that coming.

Omg, when multiple characters were talking about going on Greg's yacht, I was like "NEVER GET ON A BOAT WITH A STRANGER!" Even if they are rich. Seems like out of all of them, RIck would be the one who would know this.

All 12 seasons are available on Peacock, @GHScorpiosRule.

They wrapped up the Roy/standoff plot faster than I thought they would. I was yelling at Witt like I was watching a horror movie. No one needs to gently put down a knife! They can just drop it. Sweet Wayne. Death is sitting like five feet from him and he's just not picking up on that at all. I know Munch was a controversial character, but frankly I think all shows need a 500-year-old sin eater character. If you're a broke atheist, sin eating is actually a pretty good job.

I laughed at that too. I hope we see more scenes between Dot and Gator because, based on the little we saw, they seem to have good comedic chemistry.

I watched the first two episodes with my mom when I was home for Thanksgiving and I mentioned to her that Dot reminded me of a character in the horror movie You're Next. In that movie a rich family is being hunted in their home by some murderers, but the girlfriend of one of the family members grew up in a survivalist cult, so she knew how to make rudimentary weapons and where and where not to hide. I'm also wondering if Roy and the North Dakota group are part of a religious/anti-government survivalist cult-like group, which includes polygamy. That would also explain why the current wife is ok with a wedding photo of Roy and Dot still hanging on the wall.

I had seen speculation that Ulysses was the killer and that he meant to kill Feng, so that didn't come as a big surprise, but it was the scenario that made the most sense. I know a lot of people don't like Ken Jeong because he's over-the-top a lot, like Will Ferrell. I don't mind that as much as others do, but I have to say, when he gets away from that, I think he's a good actor. His performance was still funny but had a lot of humanity and some sadness too. LOVED the proposal scene and the movie at the end. Keke Palmer, Jaleel White, Elijah Wood, and Daniel Radcliffe? Yes, please! I hadn't thought of that, but that would be great! Maybe there's a murder on the set while Aniq and Zoe are visiting? Or at the premiere?

This was, hands down, my favorite episode of the season. Maybe because it was a mystery on top of a mystery I also liked that they gave Isabel more depth, rather than just being a cold, rich WASP. And I also did not know those were the lyrics to Mmmbop.

So this is nerdy but I really like looking up inflation rates and what X dollars in Y year would be today. That $25,000,000 would be $84,073,432 today. A really good upfront payment, but I think the Lakers ultimately made out better than Magic with this deal.

I liked that this episode added more depth to Paul Rudd's character rather than just having him be an asshole. In addition to finding out that Charles was a dick to him when he was just 8-years-old, we also found out that he was supporting his family at that time. It's not the brother's fault that Ben was the breadwinner, but I could see how resentment combined with arrested development (which all famous people supposedly have, but I don't know any famous people myself, so can't confirm) would lead him to treating his brother poorly. One thing I think this show excels at is making all the characters human rather than one-dimensional heroes or villains.

Really enjoyed this (series?) finale. I liked that some things were left open-ended, like Keeley/Roy/Jaime and Rebecca and her Dutch dilf. Liked the fake out with Ted and Rebecca at the beginning because I thought some of the fan theories about them were ridiculous. I'm really glad Beard stayed in England instead of following Ted back to the US. And I loved his The Darkness crop top. And KBPR! I second whoever said we should have seen more Barbara this season and just gotten rid of Jack. This season was pretty hit or miss, but I think the writers stuck the landing. It kind of reminded me of the finale of Freaks and Geeks where it's a happy ending without seeming unrealistic and without even really seeming like an ending (in Freaks and Geeks case, I don't think they knew it was the series finale and here, they might be setting up, if not a season without Ted, a spin-off, maybe called The Greyhounds).

I don't think it's that people don't want redemption for Nate, just that the redemption the show is pushing for hasn't been earned. He became a dick over the course of season 2, started off season 3 as the same dick, and now suddenly he's season 1 Nate. It's like Noho Hank said in the last season of Barry, "Forgiveness is something that has to be earned. It's like that line in Shawshank Redemption - get rich or die trying."
