I also gasped out loud when Charles was stabbed. But, here's what I don't get. Poppy knew that Alice wasn't the killer, so why would Alice try to stab Mabel when 1.) she was innocent and 2.) probably not prone to homicidal tendencies? It seems like Poppy would have known something was up. Otherwise I really enjoyed the finale. Loved the scene with Oliver and his son, Charles and the make-up artist, and Selena looked great in that gown at the end.
I'm hoping we'll see flashbacks of Paul Rudd's character next season. It seems like he's bad guy, which is so out-of-character for Paul Rudd that it'll be fun to watch.

I think my favorite recurring joke on this show is how everyone always says David Chang's full name, even to his face.

There's a saying about New York I love. "When people in Seattle say good morning, they mean fuck you. When people in New York say fuck you, they mean good morning." I feel like that totally sums up Bunny. (And I've never been to Seattle, so I can't speak to the first half of that quote.)
Like everyone else, I loved this episode. I can't blame the trio for reacting the way they did to Bunny, but I am glad they have regrets about how they treated her that night.

Another person who binged the whole season without intending to (whoever invented autoplay really knew what they were doing). I enjoyed the season overall and wish there were more than 8 episodes.
I don't like that they ended this season setting up a love triangle between Reagan, Josh, and Nelson. I think for a love triangle to work well, the two people competing over the third person need to be equally matched, pros and cons as individuals and pros and cons in their relationship with the third person. All Josh has going for him is that he's super hot (centaur hot, if you will). But this is better than the average show, so maybe this is a fake out and there won't actually be a love triangle at all. Hopefully the show will get renewed so we can find out.

Beth also never, ever misses an opportunity to promote her line of false eyelashes
I haven't watched any of the other Homecomings and I don't follow any of the Real Worlders on social media, so I don't really know what any of them have been up to after their seasons (of either RW or the Challenge) but this is 100% perfect for Beth. If someone had written a parody show of now middle-aged former MTV reality contestants, this would have absolutely been fake Beth's occupation.

The story behind the Property Brothers fight: https://www.vulture.com/article/girls5eva-gloria-drew-scott-property-brothers-fistfight.html
The most shocking part to me is that the stunt reel is real!
QuoteOnce Jonathan and Drew signed on, the latter sent a sampling of his talents, including a stunt reel that captivated Scardino. “My mouth was on the floor, like, I can’t believe I’m watching one of the Property Brothers destroy multiple assailants in a stuntman’s backyard for two minutes,” Scardino says, laughing. “I was like, ‘Can we license this somehow? How do we use this? It’s gold.’”
Girls5eva did in fact license the video, and it reorganized the end of the season to include appearances by the Scotts.
The Property Brothers, god love em, are just so cheesy and earnest.

He talks about how he was completely oblivious to Julie in the house and said he should have put up a boundary with her. He also said production gave him a warning about Julie while they were filming that he did not listen too.
I was thinking that part of the reason Kelley was so uncomfortable with the conversations about sex Julie was initiating was because she thought Jaime was oblivious to both Julie's intentions and the real life repercussions it could have for Jaime and his family.
I can't remember if this was in last week's episode or the preview for this week's episode, but when Julie said her husband gave her a hall pass, my first thought was, "Why are Julie and her husband so certain Jaime wants to cheat on his wife and have sex with her?"
But, if production straight up warned him and he didn't listen, well...bless his heart 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️

Wow, did not see that ending coming! Too bad he didn't listen to the beignets guy (Mitch?). It's kind of crazy how many of these people are just willing to believe Fuches and willing to commit murder (although the motocross people seem like they are already criminals of some sort). But, like Fuches, I think Barry has nine lives and will somehow survive this.
In lighter news, the scene with Barry texting Sally in the clothing store and her reading the text was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. And I'm always happy to have a Vanessa Bayer cameo.

Yup. They didn’t resolve anything. Danny just realized there is no point in talking to someone so close-minded so he let it drop.
There's a quote from RuPaul I love: "I tell you this as someone who’s a smart motherfucker: Don’t waste your time fooling with dumb people or trying to figure them out or trying to educate them. It doesn’t work. It’s a lose-lose situation." If Matt's views of gay people haven't changed in the 20+ years since he was last on the show (years in which we went from absolutely no gay marriage to civil unions to full on marriage equality), they're not going to change now because of one conversation with Danny. Danny should have saved himself the aggravation.

I kept thinking her hookup looked familiar but was surprised to see that it was Devon Sawa in the credits.
Oh shit! I didn't even realize it was him. He looks good! I laughed my ass off when she snuck out of his room in the morning and his roommates were in the living room. "We have her spice rack! I gotta call my mom." 😂

I turned 40 earlier this year, so I'm around the same age as everyone on this show, and I think Julie is pathetic. I get the point of this show is to talk about things that happened 20+ years ago, but the way she talks about Jaime, a one-time hookup from 20 years ago, and her unrequited crush on Matt (who had the audacity to like a Black girl instead of her) is pitiful (and vaguely racist). Everything about Julie makes me cringe.

Yes it is. If someone is wanting tolerance for their beliefs but doesn't tolerate someone else's different beliefs...thats hypocrisy.
A little late to the party here, but I would really recommend googling the paradox of tolerance. To copy and paste from wikipedia: The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly paradoxical idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.
If Matt's beliefs about gay people are intolerant, not tolerating them isn't hypocritical; it's self-protective.

So this guy just randomly shows up at your house, tells you he knows exactly who killed your husband/dad, and you're just going to take his word for it and make plans to murder the guy? 😐
I was really surprised that Sally took her co-star's words to heart and broke up with Barry. Might be the first thing Sally's done that I like.
23 minutes ago, Blakeston said:Sorry, I absolutely cannot fathom that Sally and Natalie have the depth to create a show that would get a glowing review from the New York Times and a 98 from Rotten Tomatoes.
I wonder how many of Barry's writers know somebody where it's just like "This fucking idiot wrote a critically-acclaimed show/movie/mini-series?!" But I feel like it's going to end up that Sally's show is well-reviewed but not watched by that many people and will get cancelled. Pam! will probably beat it in the ratings; especially if it follows Laws of Humanity.
ETA: Noho Hank + Cristobel 4ever ♥️

The first two episodes were good and I'm going to watch the rest, but I thought the religious history parts were clunky and heavy-handed. Like "We're in the middle of this interrogation and you think I murdered my wife and baby, but let me tell you about the origins of mormonism."

This is maybe a dumb question, but if there's an NBA game where the referees are clearly favoring one team over the other, is there like an opportunity to appeal after the game? Or at least file an official complaint? If the last shot hadn't gone in and the Lakers had lost by one point, I think an argument could have been made that they would have had more points had the referees called proper fouls and they had gotten some free throw opportunities. Though I suppose if the refs hadn't been so awful and the fans hadn't been such dicks, then the team - and Paul - wouldn't have gotten as fired up and wouldn't have done so well that late in the game, so the Boston folks ended up biting themselves in the ass.

Yeah, this is my big problem. How does someone as quirky looking as Adrien Brody, get cast as slick, GQ coverboy Pat Reilly? I find the ridiculousness of it distracting.
What's ironic is that Will Ferrell's falling out with Adam McKay had to do with him casting John C. Reilly as Jerry Buss because he thought Will Ferrell didn't look enough like Jerry Buss (and because Adam didn't bother to tell Will about it, John had to do that). I didn't even know who Jerry Buss was before this show (I'm not a big sports person), but even I know what Pat Riley looks like. It's also distracting because Adrien Brody is a good ten years older than Pat Riley would have been in 1980.
6 hours ago, Lady Whistleup said:I hope Winning Time goes into how the Lakers fired Paul Westhead after Magic demanded to be traded. Apparently, Magic and Kareem were chilly for a long time because Westhead ran the offense through Kareem and favored a slower, more deliberate pace*.
*Back then, a slow pace was favored. Remember Dean Smith's Four Corners offense where the team just stood around for as long as possible without shooting to delay the game?
God that sounds so painfully boring. Like I said, I'm not a big sports person, but if I had to pick a sport it would be basketball because it's continuous action and doesn't have all the starting and stopping of football or baseball. That slow pace sounds even more boring than football or baseball (YMMV on that, obviously).

I definitely thought Irving's storyline this episode was the least compelling. Towards the end - after Cobel found out - I was fast forwarding through his scenes to see if Helly was going to be able to tell the truth about severance while she still had time and if Mark was going to see a picture of Gemma. Irving trying to find Burt just seemed inconsequential compared to the other two storylines. But on the other hand, Mark and Helly at least have someone to tell them, "Don't go back to work! You're in danger!" Burt and Dylan, if they even let him leave, don't have that, so I worry what's going to happen to them.
I didn't think about this before this episode, but it seems like who you are the first couple of days you're severed is who you are naturally, as in nature versus nurture. You're kind of a blank slate; you exist in a vacuum (though obviously your experiences at work would eventually shape your personality at work). Without the years of Eagan brainwashing - having to recite the nine principles every night - Helly is, it has to be said, defiant. It's ironic that the person on the team who hates severance the most is being used as propaganda for it.
I just realized I'm never going to be able to watch Clueless and hear "I'm outie" the same way again 😆

@TheWereCow there's a pretty active subreddit about this show and a popular theory for the last few weeks is that
SpoilerHelly is an Eagan. Judging by how she's dressed and that she's sipping champagne, I think that's definitely true. They also pointed out that when Helly started, Ms. Cobel said it was an honor getting to work with her. I wonder how it's going to be for her at work the next day. Like "Hey guys, I'm part of the creepy family running this evil company. My bad."
Ms. Casey is such a tragic character. I hope Mark is able to rescue her from the testing floor somehow.
I want my next office party to have a deviled egg bar.

Yeah, if Tiffany had a tumultuous relationship with her parents, I could see them not accepting it was suicide because they probably feel a tremendous amount of guilt. I think her friend saying she thought it was suicide was the most compelling proof that it was suicide. At that age, your friends often know you much better than your parents and your parents can sometimes only see what they want to see.
