    But how would she know it was the bathroom and not his locker (or his girlfriends’ locker) or a water fountain?  Do these apps show the floor plan of wherever you are?

    At least for grocery and drug stores, they show an outline of the building but not any interior detail.  So you're right -- you'd have to know the layout of the building to determine where they were.

    Can you really track someone so closely that you know when they go into the bathroom? I thought she would be able to tell if he was on school premises, based on the approximate address. But she said he was going to the bathroom too often.

    Depending on the app, yes, you can get to that level of closeness  I've used mapping apps to find my wife in grocery stores.

    Amy's revelation about her marriage - no one drops bombs like that with so little detail! You will ALWAYS share as much information as you can that will make you look good. No one actively tries to make themselves look shadier than they need to be. It's just not realistic. "I am still married. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but it's only an insurance thing. I feel bad for him. He's dying and he supported me through law school so I feel like I owe him." How would a talented public speaker/negotiator like Amy NOT know to say that stuff? It just didn't work.  

    How much better ti start with "I've gotten a divorce"?  That puts the marriage squarely in the past, but provides a springboard for explaining the situation.  Which you do by working backwards -- "he needed my insurance..."

    The ending was rather clunky though, its good that Marjan and Paul saved the wife but her husband is still dead and could still be suicidal even after she wakes up, it feels like her story wasn't completed. She will presumably get help at the hospital but they are seem to be leaving her without any closure.

    So Marjan gets to rescue the woman who has been trashing her on Instagram, bringing the story full circle. Except . . . that woman probably isn't going to be so grateful. Just because she was rescued doesn't mean she won't still be suicidal, so this story shouldn't be over.

    One of the issues I have with both 911 shows is that there's rarely follow-up on the case(s) of the week.  It makes sense, since the follow-up almost certainly wouldn't involve the cast, but it still bugs a bit.

    At least in this case, McKenna would be put on suicide watch at the hospital, giving her friends time to console her.

    [W]ould a 911 operator actually be in charge of telling all the cops where to go like that? Seems doubtful.

    This is an example of [our group] does all the functions of [larger group].  You see this with the CSI and SWAT groups interrogating suspects, and the like.  It's equivalent to [our group] is always first on the scene.

    Stage 3 kidney disease could potentially stay in stage 3 for years, it depends on what type.  It seems like Courtney did manipulate the situation.  

    Especially with the right diet.  I'm watching my potassium and phosphorous and loading upon antioxidants ( tonight's dinner was salmon for Omdega-3 with lemon and garlic).  Good thing I like berries, too.

    The Legends are fun

    They are fun again. I skipped all the Constantine in Hell, whiny little bastard crap.  Now he's an equal to everyone else on the team, and he has his soul back (thanks, Spike!), he's much more tolerable.  I don't even mind that Gary was an alien (because of course he was -- this show has never needed stuff like the Crisis to make stuff up).  That just adds to the crazy that was LoT's trademark until Mr Angst joined the crew.

    Same. I know The Circle isn't a charity, but I'd rather see someone's stepfather get money for his stage 4 kidney disease, than see someone put in a huge underground pool. 

    I think he said his step-dad had stage 3 kidney disease.  I have Stage 4, which is "watch your diet and come in for check-ups".  My father-in-law has Stage 5 -- he needs dialysis, but it's done in-home in 2 4 hour batches (one while he sleeps)/  No one with Stage 3 needs $10,000 much less $100,000.  

    I hated Courtney -- the epitome of misogynoir -- before the sob story.  Making a fairly easily treated disease sound like a death sentence just made me hate him more.

    She would have finished her rookie year and immediately be recruited by SWAT.

    SWAT is far too military for her.

    Her name is Katy O'Brian. It seems she's also a martial artist IRL too.

    I liked her as George in the last season(s) of Z Nation.

  10. Ujust to quibble a bit.  At night in high fog, we get 3  or 4 car pileups on the Grapevine.  On the 10, in clear weather -- not gonna happen. And of course EVERY car has to burst into flame on contact.

    Also, exit 43, near where I live, is 2 miles from exit 41, near Cal Poly Pomona.  There are concrete walls and no drops at that section.

    Otherwise, a great episode.

    Do we know if Sierra McClain sings like her sister China?  Her speaking voice is so lovely I am just curious.  

    Yes, she, China, and their sister Lauryn sang for a while, then stopped so Sierra and China could focus on their acting.  But they have formed a new group called "Thriii" and may be releasing new material.

    Here's one of their songs

    I think it would have Judd confront the man who nearly killed him and Grace, but not attack him -- instead offering him a HARD path to forgiveness.  I think that would have shown his growth and also tied into the theme a bit better.

    The show's title is "The Unicorn" and the premise is that single women will find a widower very attractive over a divorced man or one who isn't married yet for reasons I don't fully remember

    There were three reasons as I recall:

    He's a widower which means he had at least some kind of previous relationship.

    He has a steady job and is financially secure.

    I don't recall the third reason.

    Why can't males & females who work in a team- just be teams mates.

    Elementary was really good about that.  Holmes and Watson respected and cared for each other, but never romantically linked.

    Chris had one good storyline with the poly couple, but they nixed that right quick.

    Hell, I'm not even sure they remember how many kids they have. 

     

    They can't.  Devante isn't even mentioned in S7.E12: High Water Mark.

    no seems worried about Devante at all.

    Yep.  He pops up in the family picture in S07.E13: The Mother and Child De-Union, but that's it.
