HOLD ON WHAT??? WTF has the child been doing all day every day for the past few years?? Jesus Christ on a cracker, how hard is it to teach a kid the letters, numbers and colors? I could not homeschool my kids in the later stages because I wouldn't know how to teach them more complex stuff, but Kindy? Sheesh.

In my mind, this episode turned the idea that Katie was "bullying" Jamie on its head. It seems to me that Jamie was angry at her primarily because she rejected him AFTER she had been publicly humiliated by him and his friends by sharing the nudes without her permission. He felt she was in a weak position and he would have power over her and yet she STILL asserted herself. Her comments on his posts came after he came to her HOME and asked her out when she KNEW he was part of the group who violated her, she was angry and called him names. To me, that's not the same a bullying someone. And I would add, Jamie could have easily blocked her on his Insta. Instead he stalked and brutally murdered her. Let's not get sucked into any version of "Katie brought this on."

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that McKay punched Chloe in the face and that's the whole story. Assault charge, restraining order, custody issues all stemming form that. I suspect the shooter will be dead by the end of the day, by their own hand or by police.

Seems to me that Saxon is the golden child of the family, so he's emulating him for that reason. I feel like C & C are written as experienced, pro-level party girls. Saxon with his frat boy nonsense and young Lochlan are punching WAY out of their weight class

The school atmosphere was so bad and I was wondering, do we think it was supposed to be the usual? OR was everyone reeling from Katie's death? The kids were so disrespectful to the adults and to each other. The teachers were shouting, or disengaged like Mr Malik, or TOO nice/sweet like the lady who was taking them around. It was awful.

I read her urging Laurie to hook up w Val as a bit of a Rorschach test of the other two. Would Laurie tell her to just go ahead and take him for herself? Jacklyn did qualify it as "you're the only single one"...was she waiting for Laurie to respond with "Hey, what we do on vacation doesnt count." I felt that J wanted Val to want her, and wanted an excuse to go out with him and his friends in order get her ego stroked. I think if Laurie had taken Val to bed and one of the other Russians was still there, she would've hooked up with one of them. They are at a wellness resort - Kate maybe expected some drinking and late nights but perhaps she really was expecting more yoga, massages, and girl talk by the pool than skinny-dipping, hammered, with strange Russian dudes. Once bitten, twice shy?

I thought Santos actually looked nervous/concerned for maybe the first time that day. Finally, maybe she doesn't feel totally confident!

OMG I was 100% gonna order the Johnny Was coverup, but DRAT! Sold out on my size!!

I got a little bit of "If I don't parent this child, who will?" It wasn't just that he wanted the kid, I think he saw that the kid desperately needed him (see: that awful convo w the baby daddy at the skate park) I also think he is a testament to what a skilled manipulator Belle is/was. She had really gas lit him so badly. It must be hard when someone you love lies so constantly and blatantly and you know it, but I am sure if someone tells you black is white enough, you start to wonder if you had learned your colors wrong?

At the end, he said "That wasn't me" (Or "It wasn't me")...I thought that was telling. I could only watch the one episode in a sitting, it was too much emotionally.

The circumstance here was clearly sexual -- the girls had kissed one another in order to be titillating, and then urged the brothers to kiss, for them to watch. The men were not greeting one another or giving one another a gesture of affection. The audience didn't sexualize the kiss, it was clearly set out to be sexual and not fraternal.

I think Jaclyn was wanting to have sex with Valentin the whole time and was using Laurie as an excuse to invite him along to everything. She was pretending she wouldn't cheat on her husband, and wouldn't want a scandal since she is famous. Well, up until he stopped responding to her texts. I think having those 3 women watching her dance with the 2 Russians really turned her on and i felt she was putting on a show for them in hopes it will go viral and her husband will see it. I sort of expected a threesome of some kind during that unhinged pool party. Either Laurie + Jacklyn + Val, or Jaclyn + 2 dudes

perhaps, but I feel for Piper, as I think she's at least feeling that her life thus far has been so superficial that she's actually pursuing a spiritual path. It is indeed a privilege that she feels her family will grant her, no questions asked, and that's where she went wrong. If she feels this is her path, she should be ready to do what she has to to get there... Work for a year? save money and then go? Move to Thailand and work (perhaps at a place like White Lotus LOL) and then go? Try to do both? Personally, I would encourage my child to travel the world, to have experiences of other cultures if I could afford it and if they wanted to.

No people skills, but definitely has some clarity about her family. I would prefer no incest at all, thankyouverymuch. Someone said there was a French kiss between the boys...I didn't see any tongue, did i miss something? I was squicked out and may have been looking away. Voictoria thinking she was in Taiwan was the best thing so far. And again, whoever is dressing Belinda, kudos. Her dress was gorgeous, the fabric was amazing.
