So, resurrection involves bathing and a haircut. Hope this gives Mel her faith back. But I still want her to suffer for burning sweet Shireen. Was worried Ghost would die, but once he perked up after the room cleared, I knew Jon was coming back. Now, will he stay as Lord Commander? Death ends a watch, so he's technically free? Dragons! Once they're free will they reunite with Drogon and go save mom from the Khalessi Retirement Home? A fan is happy that a girl is done begging. And a fan had a tear when Sansa had news of her sister.

Peter's speech to Alicia was one of the best prices of writing this season, if not the series. It reminded me of why I fell in love with this show and why I've stayed with it through the bad, the silly, and the boring. And Alicia fake crying to Canning was brilliant. The construction bs, the annoying music, and smirky Jason, now that can all go away. I did get worried for Diane and Kurt, the show is not allowed to do that for the final episode. At all.

I'm having a hard time believing the Maddie story just because Lennon is just not the most amazing amazing that ever amazed. She's an okay singer and not a great actress. I don't see moonbeams and rainbows whenever she sings. So, ugh. Go away. Take Cash and Frankie. Leave my screen. I'd prefer to focus on Daphne getting to do more than be worried and cry. And yep, I'll co-sign the people saying that Lennon has the more interesting voice. Juliette backtracked a bit this week, lying to Avery, but hooray for Glenn setting her straight. I can't have a lot of sympathy for Jules, despite loving every second Hayden is onscreen. She lied to Avery, slept with Jeff, got back with Avery (who was in a major tailspin after the original pile of lies), walked out on him several times, used him for publicity and as a cover, so if he's going to go try and find a little bit of happiness with someone else (NOT CRAYLA!!), I'll cheer for him. What will Scarlett and Gunnar call themselves now? "The Rebounds"? "FWBs"? The choices are endless...

I've been binge watching the first few seasons in prep for tonight. I found that being able to skip over suckage such as Robb/Talisa and Ygritte made life so much better. I'll skip Every.Freaking.Dorne.Part next binge. The only way I'd watch if the dragons did a burn by and roasted some snakes. I liked Sansa faltering in her speech. She has no hearth, or meat or mead to offer her savior knight. It was a nice callback to Catelyn and Brienne's pledging scene. She's been raped, beaten, and frozen. Hope Brienne and Pod brought some firewood and lemon cakes with them. I wish I had a direwolf as a pet, Ghost is super loyal and got Davos' attention pretty quick. That room must be ripe. Just how much does a dead Lord Commander smell? I give him 2 episodes before Mel makes him undead. But, does that mean he leaves Castle Black? His watch is pretty much ended. Dany is more tolerable when she's got her back up against a wall. But my eyes rolled when Ser Jorah found that ring in a sea of grass. Really? Guess greyscale gives you mad tracking skills. ETA to say I love Arya. I got callbacks to her stick training with Syrio when the waif attacked her. And knowing Arya, it won't be long before she's holding her own. ETA 2, Jorah isn't a woman named Norah...

In the immortal words of Ken last week: "###$$$## ###$$### $hit ####". How is that talentless hack still there?

My dream final scene? Smirky shows up with a barbed wire baseball bat and Will's baseball.

So, Riff Odem has gone to rehab? Awesome. Can he take Frankie with him? I really want Maddie to go tour the Australian Outback. Thanks for the idea Juliette! I can only hope Cash goes with her and takes her crappy sweater and pinched face. Daphne, poor little thing. I like younger Stella's voice better, so maybe she can start singing alone. I hear Luke might have a tour slot open... I waited months to see Juliette with Rayna and that was IT? Really show? Toss some fans a bone. Unless they're saving Juliette reaching out to Maddie and getting the family back together for sweeps? I was waiting for Jule's to bust out the pink macaroni for Glenn and Emily. Such a missed opportunity. Avery needs to get off Crayla's bus. Quickly. That bed for 2 AND a crib in the room? Run!!!

I'm shallow and going to hell for this comment: Jason looks like he smells. Badly. Every time he's on tv and smirking, I want to both Febreeze and flea bomb him. And then send him off to be pressure washed. Otherwise, hooray for Diane and Kurt. Nice to see good acting, great chemistry and real hair.

Hayden is magic. I think allergy season hit tonight, because I had watery eyes when Juliette dedicated that song to Glenn. Gotta love how strong Hayden came back. Hit it out of the park every scene. And we had some good JAvery moments too. squee! Autumn can go off my screen. Just once, can't any female artist other than Rayna be supportive? And, no, I don't mean CrazyCash levels of stalker support. So, Maddie put on glitter eye shadow and became a Tennessee Tart? Whatever. It was like some toddlers and tiaras version of Brittney Spears. They should have left Layla in the pool. She contributes nothing except tears and threats. The scene with Will and Kevin was nice. Glad the history was respected and not forgotten by the crazy writers.

I think Frankie is drinking because of having a bar called "The Beverly". Change the name and lots of people get sober. Sucks to be Layla. She might be trying to create Juliette's life, but it's not happening. Though I'm not sure how the stage presence of "The Exes" was so riveting. Must have been Scarlet's tambourine skills. And the best for last: WELCOME BACK Hayden!! She looks radiant and healthy. Avery crying outside the nursery door just broke my heart though. She better make tracks to get her husband back soon. And happy things are going Will's way again. Guess it's time for the Luke Wheeler redemption arc. I'm in, only if he gets Juliette to go apologize to Layla for the Fordham Fall.

Not sure what part annoyed me the most, Vita stealing and then doing the "bad guys" speech, Maddie snapping at both Daphne and Colt, Layla being a diva, Frankie drinking, or the waste of time known as Riff. I guess I'm going with "The Beverly" now becoming a premium place for music. Because we'll have to keep hearing the name. Avery was all kinds of cute with the single mom, and little Cadence waving just melted me!

It's about bloody time that Alicia and Peter ended that sham of a marriage. Too bad Peter didn't tell her to 'stop screwing the help', but you can't have everything. I cheered when she asked for a divorce. It's about 6 years too late, but nice to see it finally happen. Alicia showed up late to court twice because she couldn't get out of bed, or had to go fight with hubby. Way to go Diane, that's totally name partner material right there. Since the NSA is still tapping her phone, I'm feeling cheated of the geeks reactions to her pillow talk with Smirky McSlimerson, PI. Cary just looked so defeated. Glad he's escaping LAL. I think the only person making money at that firm is their sign hanger. Nice to see Grace has joined the ranks of "child character sent offstage for days".

Bye Erin. Take Cash with you? And add Vita (really? "Vita"?) to the road trip. Maybe Layla wants to join? And toss Maddie in the trunk, she'd just whine anyway. Can't blame Colt for staying on the farm. His gf and dad both suck. What's a Riff? Is that a Garth Brooks stand in? Avery really can't catch a break. And you'd think Juliette would have had Doc Uptight call him to say "you're free" before he got dumped via press release. I did laugh out loud at Jules not wanting "drama" around her.

Server ate my post. Glad my show is back. Loved the songs, the dresses, the drama, the vows. Avery tears and Layla finding out about the Jeff jump. Great restart to the show.

Not sad to see Marjorie go away, I've been hoping for it all season. Isaac, you were a classy Cajun, I expect good things from him in the future. Amar made squab. I'm shocked. Not Gail should never wear her hair back, it was distracting, sad, and evil. And Copperfield looked tucked and waxy, or was he just an illusion?

I think I saw a tear in Padma's eye when she PYKNGed Kwame. But as soon as he said "frozen waffles", he was done. And what the hell was Marjorie doing to those lobsters? Trying to snap them in half? I'm not a vegetarian, but show some respect to the creature you're killing.

Now that's how you do a tribute. Thank you Bonnie, Chris and the amazing Gary for that.

Now I'll be singing the Gwen Stefani song all night. That was fun.

I think I just had a seizure.

I love Ed Sheeran, but I think he needs rehab. Jackson Browne and The Eagles. I think there's dust in here, or onions. Nope, theses aren't tears. :(

If only the critters from Sing were doing these songs. That would be entertaining. Taylor would be a lemming. Grohl would be a warthog...

Callaphera, we think alike! Drink more. Then they'll all sound like they're in tune.

Everyone drink! Dave Grohl sightings! Double shot since he has a red solo cup!

What the hell was Demi Lovato doing? Auditioning for a Lifetime movie about stalkers? Ugh, Luke Bryan. Shoot me

Let's celebrate Lionel Richie by not letting him sing.
