This episode left me in tears. It was well directed, produced, and the actors’ performances were commendable. I have no clue where the story goes for Shaun and Leah. I love them. I enjoy the character, Asher (and Glasses/Schmidt on Greys). He’s quirky and is a work in progress. You don’t know what he’s thinking half the time. I believe he made the wrong choice in this episode but it was a huge learning experience. He’s lucky he still has a job.

Thank you.

Please refresh my memory.... Who, in this tragic story, is Tammy.

....and the fact that he didn’t leave the kids at his mother-in-law’s home. So foolish to pick them up at 1:30 a.m.

The Newman’s make me sick. All of them. Let me add: What I hate is their outrageous entitlement. They sit on their perch, look down on the “common” people around them, and have come to expect others to almost automatically fall in line. Lawyers, doctors, business people, friends etc. Nikki’s attitude, vocal tone, and body language regarding whether or not Nate would cooperate was disgusting. I’m just sick to death of it. That said...I honestly do want Victor to get the best of Chelsea, Billy, and Victoria and I don’t care how he does it. Yeah, call me two faced. Haha

Thank you. You do learn something new each day. My husband always tells me I’m unobservant. He’s right.

Have I lost my mind? I have watched Chicago Fire and Chicago Med since day one. I thought the actual name of the hospital was....Chicago Med. It’s always referred to as “Med” or “Chicago Med” in both of these Chicago shows. Suddenly, in this episode, the hospital was twice referred to as something like Gracin Hospital or Garland Hospital or something like that. (Neither if those names is correct. I just don’t remember exactly what was said.). What’s up with this? Have I lost it?

I FFd more than half of this episode. I’m not sure I can take much more of this show.

She also says "What are the comps?"

Tarak is a very happy guy now days and I’m thrilled for him. As I watched the show, I kept thinking something was different about his appearance and realized he had a ton of dental work done....both uppers and lowers. I thought they did a nice job on the house but didn’t hear how much profit they made because my DVR cut off early. Anybody know?

You’re absolutely right. Thank you. I have no idea why my mind didn’t go in that direction.

I think I read, somewhere, that the actress who plays Tara was signed to a long term contract and taken off recurring status. (...and the actor who plays Ashton was not.). Is that true? I hope not. She has to be one of the most boring, understated, dowdy, and nonessential characters on this show. There’s absolutely no ooompf to her. Also, she looks too old for Kyle, in general.

After one scene together about a year ago, I felt Lola also had chemistry with Noah. I never felt much of anything between Kyle and Lola although I realize I’m in the minority with that opinion. Billy Miller’s Billy and Victoria were the best. Loved watching those two.

Both Duff and Nancy tend to show their bias fairly often while judging these shows no matter how hard they try to remain neutral. I've watched every season and, after while, it becomes apparent but I tend to chalk it up to human nature. However, Duff was off the rails this season. It's like he had a personal beef with Derek. I don't ever remember Duff being this outspoken and transparent with his inner thoughts. Maybe his remarks were heavily edited before this season and he has always been this frank. Who knows? I agree with those of you who have mentioned how ridiculous it was for Derek NOT to have assigned the type of bird to the other contestants. He WON the previous challenge! That win gave him absolutely nothing.

That “Busby Award Show” was pathetic. What was its purpose? That’s an hour I’ll never get back.

Roberta’s main goal is to live in the U.S. Garrick, and this show, is a means to that end. Also, I’m not convinced she needs that translating gizmo as much as Danielle and Garrick thinks she does. I think Roberta is sly as a fox.

This show, the one I’ve watched for more than 35 years, is unrecognizable in every single way. Bill Bell must be spinning in his grave.

I’m still hoping forJamie to return to my tv screen.

Me, too! Hmmm... I hear what you are saying. Thanks. I misunderstood his comments to Nikki on her way out the door. That said, wouldn’t you think a learning opportunity and authentic kindness and appreciation of her growth eventually lead to a job?

When Nikki was cut from the show, I remember GR promised her his guidance AND a job at one of his restaurants. The choice of restaurants would be hers. Why would she pass up that offer to be one of Amber’s sous chefs? Mind boggling! There has got to a story to this.

I agree about Bess Armstrong but, to be honest, the only thing I recognized about her was her voice. I rewatched her scene 3 times. I, too, still dislike Owen and Teddy....especially Teddy.

I'm on the fence and must remember this was just the pilot. Way too many characters to track, imo. I disagree with Chaos Theory...I do like Katey Sagal but I'm not convinced she is the best actress to portray the Erin Brockovich type. I'll watch the next episode and then decide if I will continue with this show.

I really like Jamie and hope he doesn’t get on the plane. I not only appreciate him as an interesting new character BUT he has actually made Maggie tolerable, which shocks me. Seriously.

I thought Fessy was dumb as rocks on Big Brother.

I realize you’re talking about Natalie but this is exactly how I feel about April. Her attitude and self righteousness is out of control.
