I think Olivia was right about Ethan being unable to make his own decisions, which is quite sad. Therapy would do him a world of good. But the future of the marriage doesn't look bright. At least Kim let Lydia go to Ethan and Olivia's house alone. Does Ethan have a job? Moriah and Micah still have a lot of growing up to do. Not unusual for their age, but their upbringing puts them at a real disadvantage.

I agree that Olivia is a big part of the problem, but Ethan can't really find his own voice. Up until the day he got married his parents were running his life, and then Olivia took over. He was never taught -- or really allowed -- to think for himself growing up. No wonder he's so miserable.

The parents have raised kids who are totally unprepared to navigate the real world. Exhibit 1: Ethan. Poor guy seems depressed and unhappy, completely unable to figure out what to do. Is Max living with Moriah? Lydia is very pretty and it looks like she’s starting to grow a backbone and speak her mind. I hate that they film her in her prayer closet; that seems like a real invasion of privacy.

Poor Lydia is going to end up in an arranged marriage.

Hopefully, it will be a gradual discussion, like when parents talk to their kids about sex. You give them age-appropriate information when it comes up. I have a disabled daughter and we never had "the talk" about her disability. She has basically known all her life and just got more details as she grew up.

I agree. I think he is in for lots of lonely nights.

I'm not sure why this is still called AMERICA'S Got Talent, especially since there is a version is pretty much every country.

I don't know, but I hope that the adult kids are getting paid separately for the show.

And Riley looks like she's wearing lipstick -- another photoshop job?

That Jeep! Compensating much?

That was a HUGE bridal party. They really lucked out with the weather. I realize that a lot of the wedding was comped, but I'd love to know how much all those flowers cost.

I could be mistaken, but I think things didn't get bad at Debbie's house until after her father's death. So when the grandson was very young and was staying with her it was probably OK. She sure was resentful of having to take care of others, though.

I think the only reason she agreed to marry Tom was because he comes with a checkbook. He's so in love with the high school girl he knew that he'll probably bail her out financially. And heaven help him if he gets so much as a hangnail; there's no way Debbie is going to take care of anyone. Hopefully he'll come to his senses before they actually walk down the aisle.

Joshua was a very mature 13 year old, much more mature than his grandmother. Poor kid diagnosed with a brain tumor. Sometimes life just isn’t fair. Debbie will never clean out those storage boxes. How long will she be allowed to leave them on the street? Eventually they’ll get hauled away for non-payment.

I loved Deja telling Randall, more than once, to NOT try to fix things. And he listened! I think the biggest threat to Kevin's career isn't one bad movie. It's his reputation for walking out on projects. It's about time that came back to bite him. I'm not the least bit interested in seeing him with any of his exes. Rebecca was so supportive of Madison and Kate, both of whom needed it. I hope Toby is honest with Kate soon or he's going to blow it completely.

I imagine that Danielle heard about the possibility of an ASD, googled it, and assumed she would need surgery. Sometimes they do require surgery, but that's usually done when children are young and it's causing problems. She is so dramatic. I also wondered why she was awake during the procedure. I've had several endoscopies and I've slept through them all. I can't imagine a reason she would need to be awake.

I'm surprised and pleased that they are allowing the girls to have different activities of their choice.

Get one when it's time! A colonoscopy saved my life. I agree. Sheldon basically stole the check that George thought had been mailed and contacted the IRS even though his father specifically told him not to. Sheldon may be brilliant, but he has absolutely no respect for authority. Missy is my favorite character.

Yeah, Kevin wasn't great to Randall as they were growing up, but I think most of it was just sibling stuff and had nothing to do with race or adoption. Not everything is about race (although lots of people seem to be under that impression). I miss the Randall of the first couple of seasons; I liked him. Current Randall is insufferable.

That was my guess but I didn't want to assume. Hope it's not severe and he has a speedy recovery. I like Luke as a judge.

I missed the first couple of minutes -- why was Paula there?

Why in the world do they need to go to Austin (about 200 miles away) to see the eye doctor? Surely there are specialists in Houston (about 30 miles away).

My ex always insisted on closed bedroom doors at night for fire safety reasons (he was a firefighter). I doubt, however, that the Busbys do it for that reason.

Interesting that there is a pentagram on the headstone. I'm sure it means something different to them, but I associate it with Satanism.

I know of a Mormon woman who had six children. She got pregnant with the last one after being diagnosed with ALS, so she knew she wouldn't be around for her. She felt there was a soul still there that needed to be born. I guess it's a Mormon thing. I do not understand how these parents could "date" for just two months, then get married without even considering how the children would handle it. Those poor kids have been through the wringer and deserve better. I get the uncomfortable feeling that the whole thing was done with a TLC show in mind. Putting tweens' "birds and the bees" talk on national TV is just cruel (even if it was just for the show and not real). Oh yeah, their friends won't tease them at all.
