My husband and I both came up with Morris Day last week.

He's at the grandparents or so they said.

I am sure the new baby with issues will lead to the revival of the OB department after it makes a miraculous recovery...

Yes - I agree to this. Its like they say, just show up for 2 shows and we'll back a truck of money up to your house. Then they let the lesser knowns stay on a while. I believe it is all producer driven vs any studio voting counting for the most part. I am sure they do like to keep the characters around that get a ton of votes hoping that extrapolates over to the same kind of popularity with the tv audience.

And they got 2 babies! So they kinda ended up different than the plan 🙂

I had to google MASH. I graduated high school in 1987 and it was not a thing. Also from 40 to 50 for people of decent wealth/income and indoor jobs is not going to be a big change. Given Kevin has celebrity bucks and likely skin care routines.... and likely some help from a dermatologist... he isn't going to age as much as a construction worker or farmer outdoors doing manual labor in the sun for 10 years who likely doesn't do a lot with skin care. Also Beth is of the income level that she would likely have a great skin care regimen and also a dermatologist to take care of things since she is very clearly into style, hair, makeup, etc. (not in a bad way - just that she is always stylish and we've seen her at the beauty salon)

I would have major anxiety if I were living in Tom and Ariana's house (or prior the apartment) with all the clutter. OMG that is enough to put anyone over the edge....

I was just coming on here to say that I believe Lindsey and Carl are doing this for storyline only. They have zero chemistry. She kissed some guy she just met (last season) with more passion than she kisses Carl. FAKE!!!!

Count me among the folks who can't keep everyone straight this year. I thought the woman interviewing was the widow from the last episode. I also commented to my husband that for Saul to be so high up and such a good spy - he gets himself kidnapped with too much frequency for me to believe he is actually a good spy. I mean - come on!!!! Again? I am hopeful that all of this is going to come together soon.

I think there must be certain "deals" to get these people to come on the show - like you will only have to do a couple of shows (for the Drew's and Chaka Khan's) and then others where they tell them they are in it til the "end". Lots of producer manipulation behind the scenes.

i thought the same thing and even second guessed it being her. Much, much better than what she's shown us on the series.

Even if he was spending his own retirement fund, that fund is a part of the wife's (soon to be widow's) retirement financial plan. Since she also works, their retirement is dependent upon both people fully funding their retirement plans. If something happens to either retirement fund, it forces them to make changes to the entire plan for their retirement. I am totally down with the live like you are dying part BUT only to the extent that it doesn't leave the family in a bind after the person passes. Maybe there was a big life insurance policy that would cover the refunding of his retirement account? We don't know that but to just hand wave that he was spending "his" money is not really how life works for most married couples who are expecting to retire together.

I think that they purposely didn't show the face of the woman in bed to create drama and interest in the episodes to come. We all know Kevin has a pregnant baby mama in his life from the mid-season finale. So we are all placing any woman in his path into the role of baby-mama - even prematurely like last week with the chick who ended up to be married. My initial guess is Madison because Sophie is too darn predictable. But it could be Sophie and they simply shared a bed and no sex/pregnancy.... To me, this episode was boring. I'm ready to see the other perspectives and now we have to wait!!!! Boo!

Living in Texas (not Austin), I was surprised at the way Austin/Texans are portrayed in the show. Sad they went that way since it isn't remotely close to a large city in Texas. Seems way more rural than actual Austin. That said, this episode was way better than the pilot which I enjoyed but found a little slow/boring -- compared to the original 9-1-1. I don't hate Liv Tyler but all those fillers and whatnot for her face make her look a lot older than she actually is. Also - if the Rob Lowe character were as vain as he is portrayed to be -- he'd be getting at least botox from the dermatologist along with whatever his hair care regimen is... I'm in - mostly because I love the crazy of a Ryan Murphy/Brad Falchuk show - and as a former 80s brat pack loving teen -- you had me at Rob Lowe (ha!). I can't not watch him!

When have we seen Kate do ANYTHING for ANYONE else without being paid for it? This. And what are they going to do in 20-30 years when people can't read a clock with hands. 10 past 5 would be drawn as 05:10....
