  1. I think Grace was too insecure to do that.
  2. I've eaten the whole box/bowl exclusively. It's a meal.
  3. I think she is imagining all these things, like when she was imagining Jonathan and Elena having sex.
  4. When she walked into her therapy office she asked her secretary to phone someone at the hospital but we never heard the result of that. The blonde friend (Sophia? Sylvia?) was over-the-top distraught about Elena's murder, actually interrupting a law firm meeting to get up and call Grace, which I thought interesting, but then it makes sense when you hear that she was representing Jonathan in a case regarding the murdered girl. As a lawyer I can say this happens in real life way too often. People think they can talk themselves into being removed from the suspect list, and they often believe if they bring in a lawyer they'll look more guilty. I am so glad they didn't do the tired old trope of she believes him at first and then slowly over a series of episodes starts to suspect him again. Agree, that was odd but I guess it shows she was thinking it would be just a quick trip to the police station to get everything straightened out and she'd be back at her father's in a half hour.
  5. He mentioned the Hyatt Regency and made a comment about needing to stay overnight to get the points and a free breakfast. But he didn't specify which one, which is why she had to try a few before she found one that had a Jonathan Fraser staying there. I thought of a possible imposter angle but I think he is Henry's bio father so that would be a like 14-year impostership going on. The flashback with the sick patient was to identify the child who he had to leave the fundraiser for to attend to because he had a medical emergency. It was the same name, which escapes me. I wondered about that too but not only do they have a very high-end SUV, they also have a private driver which is way over the top in Manhattan even for a couple very comfortable doctors. Unless they already have it for another reason. So far I find this show overall quite delicious. I think I'm in the minority in that Hugh Grant really annoyed me, maybe for the afore-mentioned bumbling Englishman thing. I was hoping he'd be dead by the episode's end but maybe he'll stay missing for a while. I think the dog story and the crying over the dead patient was possibly to show him as a sympathetic character so we don't suspect him of anything too soon. I did think, however, that Grace's annoyance at not being able to track him down at a hotel seemed to be not the first time something like this has happened. Did he cheat in the past and she's catching him again? She seemed perturbed to me but also like this was somewhat familiar. J & G's son Henry starts off as the quintessential precocious NYC kid with the hair to boot but as the episode progressed, the actor showed some range, so that was refreshing. Did that second scene in the locker room where Elena questions Grace really happen and was repressed? Or was that her using her psychologist skills to imagine the subtext of what Elena said? Regarding the kiss in the elevator: I rewound it a couple times and Grace definitely kissed back or at least leaned in; she was not taken aback and may in fact have been wanting such. I don't think Grace acted like she knows something more; I think she's unnerved that she seems to be a suspect and so she's inadvertently acting suspicious. Did anyone catch the cop sneak a peak at the papers on her kitchen table? They were definitely doing the good cop/bad cop routine with the Latino cop playing the heavy. Nicole is very pretty but I think she looked better in Big Little Lies. I did notice the freeze-face a bit but I agree as mentioned above the character needs to as a psychologist to maintain an appearance of objectivity so it could be intentional.
  6. The new Kraft Macaroni and Cheese commercial where the mom chases her child, screeching "You're having one more bite!" I guess they are unaware pf the more modern consensus that force-feeding kids is cruel and leads to all forms of disordered eating. Brings back memories of lima beans and liver for me.
  7. Okay enough with the Bonnie and her mother drama. A second tease with the pillow? Really? This silliness is not something that can be explained away by change in creative control, re-editing of scenes, etc. It is just bad writing, period. Madeline and Ed continue to annoy me and thankfully, for the last time. Did anyone notice that in the ride to the courthouse, the twin on the left was not wearing a seatbelt? I thought for certain there was going to be an accident and him tragically killed. Is it possible this was the original plan and got shelved? To me it was very pointed and obvious that the belt was not around his should like his brother's.
  8. I thought this was a very choppy episode that didn't hang together all that well and I can't imagine how they're gong to tie up all these loose ends in the finale. Did anyone catch the name of the song that was playing when Jane was driving over to Cory's? Sounded like Depeche Mode from the early nineties. I'm a lawyer too and almost threw something at the TV when the lawyer brings out the diagram. Objection to relevance, lack of foundation, need an expert witness to authenticate and explain the diagram and no, the lawyer doesn't get to testify to what the diagram shows, that is what witnesses are for. And what's this about the judge ready to rule before hearing both sides? Like Celeste's side is an afterthought and is only considered when she jumps up and says hey, what about me? And no, absolutely no, Celeste doesn't get to suddenly play lawyer in her own case. This is not a pro se criminal case. Her lawyer is the one calling the witnesses. She is not just a potted plant. Mary Louise being shown tapes of the women's interviews at the police station? Nope, improper, would never would happen. The strangle-with-the-pillow-not-really was very hackneyed and silly. It's treading in the area of crying wolf and I may never believe you again when you present a dramatic scene. Then the later thing with the journal was no great reveal and a letdown. Ed and Tori scene, waste of space. I think I am the only person on this forum that finds the Ed and Madeline storyline completely boring and annoying. All their scenes seem like filler to me. And while most people seemed to like the Renata in-the-car-with-Gordon scene, honestly her exasperation with him is getting a little old. Maybe some other emotion could be taken out of the toolbox. And no way she stuffs paper into his mouth while he's driving unless she fancies the idea of him losing control and driving over a cliff. Much as I bitch about this show I am really going to miss it. What to watch when this is over?? Suggestion?
  9. I spent a weekend with my sister babysitting her three grandchildren ages 5-8. Those 2 1/2 days produced a type of exhaustion unlike anything I'd ever experienced, and this was as an athletic person in my forties. I would think that a decision into a person's stamina to take on custody would be highly relevant no matter the age of the would-be caregiver.
  10. Are we to believe Gordon deferred payment of this $160,000 til an undetermined date? Juliette comes across as well-spoken and cunning at the hearing. Hard to believe she'd be so naive as to put up with letting Gordon rack up such a huge debt. And $72,000 seems a highly excessive severance pay for a nanny, even for a wealthy family.
  11. I think that was bad writing. The response should have been "Yeah, everyone knows your dad's a rapist."
  12. It was Skye's grandfather that picked her up at the hospital but otherwise I agree, the parents don't seem to really need to work like most people do.
  13. I also saw him as a witness leaving after an interview and not a UC cop. Did Bonnie ever meet Corey though?
  14. I don't think it's for custody, it's to find out what really happened with Perry's death.
  15. Great episode with suspenseful ending! The scene with Renata and Celeste: Laura Dern is brilliant and hilarious. Nicole lapsed into her Australian accent in the scene with the lawyers. I still find Madeline and Ed to be completely boring as well as the ongoing rivalry between Ed and Nathan, but the last scene in the bar at least adds some spice to that storyline.
  16. I laughed hysterically at the vomiting and how it kept happening. I have not laughed that hard in a long time and I normally hate vomit scenes. In fact I am laughing right now just thinking about it and can't stop.
  17. Did she actually say it was Botox? I think maybe she had a facelift.
  18. I believe it's her real father. In the restaurant scene a few episodes ago he recounted a story about something she used to do with her food as a child.
  19. I don't get why she'd take an Ambien anyway. She picks up the bartender and takes him home for sex. Does she really need an Ambien to get to sleep afterwards? And why didn't the guy just hide out in the bedroom when he heard ML and the kids come in. Why walk through the apartment shirtless? Who does that? Unbelievable and just a plot device to get ML to react.
  20. I found that photo-sharing scene creepy and non-believable.
  21. That sustainability thing with second-graders was unrealistic and preachy and over-the-top PC. And I'm an environmentalist! Isn't there someone in the room when they're writing these episodes with a believability meter? Yeah I don't get the fainting in the closet thing. This episode irked me on a number of levels.
  22. I thought the therapist was really bitchy this episode! And since when did Madeline and Ed start going to her? I agree, I think the writing in this episode is off.
