I think her name was Pam. We haven't seen her in a while. Lachlan only remembered when he was in the monastery, so now that they both remember, it makes more sense for a confrontation. I mean, it's a very awkward thing to bring up, and I'm curious how it does come up. Maybe not, but Saxon had been noticing him earlier being off, like at Gary's party. I purposefully skip the previews. Earlier today I was reading about the tree and the fruit. Very interesting. According to Wikipedia, in Hawaii the tree is used as an ornamental. The fruit has two seeds inside, and those are what's poisonous. Historically, it was used in trials by ordeal. If the accused survived eating the seed, innocent! As far as suicide, it's still used today. @Andyourlittledog2, I suppose it's possible that Victoria had Lochlan tell Piper that, but I'm leaning no. I do see him as basically an innocent. He dove into the booze, drugs, and sex because he wants to be a big boy.

Testicle Festival is fun to say.

It's a pretty tree, or at least the blossoms are pretty. Maybe there were just so many where the resort was built that it wasn't feasible to remove them. Besides, the guests get a warning, so one couldn't eat the fruit accidentally. Actually, I had forgotten about the mention of the fruit from ep 1 until reading the theories here. I maybe have to go back to that ep to remind myself. When and to whom was this said? And yet, many people swallow their pills that way. I remember reading that it's more effective to swallow pills by bending your head down instead of throwing it back. I've tried that a couple of times, but it just feels more natural to do it the other way.

Dare I say, she's a little bitch.

Saxon is an interesting character. In the beginning of the season, he was the worst of the worst. He earned a bit of respect from me when he refused drugs. Of course peer pressure got him, and he took it. And then in this ep he recoiled from having sex with Chloe so Gary/Greg could watch. I was worried he would give in, but he held his ground. So, he has some pretty admirable standards. He's still flawed in many other ways, but he's gotten more complex. Why doesn't Gary just hire some guy to screw Chloe while he watches? I suppose his fetish is partially a power thing, and maybe it would be ruined if he needed to pay for it.

Thanks. I wonder how many people know of that ballad. I'm guessing not many. The writers were trying too hard to be clever.

What a contrast. The first game with Bobby Moynihan and Jaleel White vs the second with Joel McHale and Roxie Diaz, whoever the hell that is. In the second game, not only were Joel and Roxie not that great, but the contestants were poor as well. For Wheels on the Bus, is humming allowed? or at least going "The da-da-da-da go round and round..." I was glad Michael told Jaleel to use his hands, because I was silently telling him to do that. I can't remember if Michael or even previous hosts ever gave directions during the game. I know they've sometimes told the clue-giver to look at the word again, like if they misread 'trial' for 'trail.' Types of Buttons was hard. A shirt one, a cuff one, a belly one, a panic one... The first Mystery Seven had a trip to Italy?! That was a nice one. And I liked that both contestants won something. I was with Jaleel with getting stumped by 'Robbie.' Margot Robbie never occurred to me. The first slow animal I thought of was a sloth. So, the second game. Yikes. First off, Daz was too hyper, and his first time giving clues was bad. Roxie was terrrible, too. For 'farmer,' Ronald McDonald Had a ... What? And then Teddi didn't name The Beatles. I don't know if Roxie was serious when she said they were before her time or if she just said that to make Teddi feel better. I cracked up when time ran out during the Tom Brady one, with Daz just getting to say 'football,' then when Michael asked him what he would say for that, Daz said, "I'd say football." I also liked at the very beginning when Michael said, "Those who can't, host."

I came here to ask the same question. No idea.

🍅🍅🍅 I don't really like Randy. To me the writers and actor are trying too hard to make him wise-cracking and quirky. Also it's so weird how Colter is always asking about Bobby. It's either like they want to acknowledge to the audience that his absence is explainable, or that this is leading up to something terrible going on in Bobby's life. As for this ep, I found it too weird.

I think Angie is just being protective of Will. Maybe she's suspicious of Marion, just out of instinct, but I think it's probably that she doesn't want to see Will hurt. One very minor thing that bugged me was when Marion came into Will's office to talk to him, then went out to get a chair. She left the office, then we had a shot of her walking across the hallway, bringing a chair back. What was the point of that? I can't remember if Will never has an extra chair in his office, but that's beside the point. My gripe is with the direction. We could have just seen Marion walk out (and the camera stays in the office) then walk back in with the chair. I didn't think about that, but I kept thinking how his hands were covered with blood. Even when he was washing his shirt, his hands still had blood on them. Thank you! I saw the CC that said Moody Blues, but that clearly wasn't the MB. Like others, I thought this was an outstanding ep. It was very sad and upsetting, but so well done. I kept hoping that it would turn out that Paco had unintentionally shot the kid, but that would have been an easy out.

I thought each of the three friends said very truthful things about the other. Maybe it's an army of monkeys. An army of armed monkeys.

From that article: “It was only a short scene, but for me, it did make the question of whether Kate voted for Trump so much more provocative and personally offensive to Laurie, considering who her child is in the world.” That's a good point she made. Things sure do suck now.

So I was wrong. I thought the gift shop robbers were the bodyguards. BTW, does Laurie know what was stolen from the shop? I also think she wanted this to be her thing. Maybe she always felt detached from her family as she found their attitudes deplorable, so she wanted to break away. Lachlan doesn't seem like either Tim or Victoria. He's more of a still-developing boy, and I don't think Piper has anything against him. She always seemed to like him. So yeah, I think it's more of "This is MY thing. Find your own." I understand how Rick behaved at the house. He had had a stronger man in mind, the one he felt had killed his father. But here he was faced with this frail old man. So he couldn't kill him. He could only manage to ridiculously push him over. (which is bad enough for a man in his condition) I was curious about how the man, Jim, kept staring at him right from the moment he saw Rick. Did he recognize him? Like others, I'm wondering if he's actually Rick's father. He knew the name of Rick's mother, so this seems likely. I was shaking my head at how ill-prepared Frank was in regards to the whole ruse. It was funny, but also kind of unbelievable. Did they not think Sritala would ask about the movie or about what else he has directed? Oh, and when they were watching the old movie, she told him the title of it, in Thai, and Frank said something like, "Yes, that's it!" How would he recognize the name when he said he couldn't remember any of the titles of the movies he had watched. And it was in Thai! I was sorry to see Frank decide to drink, and then everything else that came afterwards. I know, right? I expected him to have a bad reaction when Laurie immediately started talking to Kate and Jaclyn. Maybe the thing with Fabian's performance was kind of a joke, in that the show built it up, Fabian built it up, and then... we see nothing much. If it's not a monkey who grabs a gun and shoots, then I think it's going to be someone like Gaitok or Chelsea, who are nonviolent, soulful people. I'm looking forward to the finale.

Hegseth, as Sec of Defense, can apparently say something is not classified, but when and how an attack will take place IS classified. But, yes, the other issues are that they are deliberately using an app that will delete their messages within a certain timeframe. And these communications are part of the Presidential Records Act. As I understand it, one of the things in Project 2025 was discussion on how having things in official records would be subject to FOIA requests. Also, it's just not secure, as we all know.

I guess that all is possible, but I think Rafael simply had Jeremy do the delivery to give him power over Jeremy. I do think Rafael will discover that Jeremy is now a CI for Will. I mean, he HAS to find out so we'll see Jeremy in eminent danger.
