I assumed custody of the child was the motive. The police officer testified that she said she'd do anything to make sure she kept the little girl (ending by calling him an asshole). I had the general feeling she was used to getting no less than whatever she wanted.

I love how Ashley had two lawyers and a shrink on speed dial so speedy that they showed up practically before the cops did. Would it be wrong to think that smelled of premeditation?

Or a defective thermostat. Either way they're not violating the law, but they're not following it either, as you and I both understand.

I give up.

But that's not correct. They're providing heat within the specified dates but not according to the specified temperatures. And they do turn it on and off during the stated time period. They don't just leave the heat on constantly from October to May. That would be nuts, for exactly the reason @oliviabenson is talking about. I actually know something about this. I was on the tenants' committee while our NYC building was still a rental, and I was on the board of directors after it went co-op, as president for one year. I fielded lots of heat-complaint phone calls, so I can reel off the regulations in my sleep.

I get it but they are at least following the law. No, actually they're not. Here are the heating requirements for NYC: From October 1 to May 31, the indoor temperature must be at least 68°F between 6 AM and 10 PM when the outside temperature is below 55°F. From 10 PM to 6 AM, the indoor temperature must be at least 62°F regardless of the outside temperature. So if the landlord is sending up heat when it's 79° outside, that's not a legal requirement and a huge waste of resources.

In case anyone is interested, I ran across a mention of the show and was motivated to see if it was canceled, since it hasn't been on in some time. I found this on IMDb: Dr. Sandra Lee, dermatologist and skincare expert, has revealed that she will be bringing her expertise to Lifetime in 2025 with a new show titled Dr. Pimple Popper: Breaking Out. The announcement was made on social media platforms, including TikTok and Instagram, on Acne Positivity Day. When I was a teenager, I never had a single acne positivity day, but aside from that, this could be good news.

You may be right. If that was said, I missed it.

I don't believe that's accurate. He killed two women prior to Kasi, one of whom was his common-law wife and the other was just a witness he had to get rid of, but I'm not aware of any other wife he murdered before those two and then Kasi. I'm prepared to be wrong, but I don't think I am--unless there are others we don't know about.

I like Julia in bangs. I think they're more youthful-looking than the stodgier pulled-back style on her. On the shows I watched today, Sam was much more enjoyable than previously. She toned it down considerably. And Morgan was as adorable as usual, if not more so. Oh, and there was food, too. I'll definitely try the hot-honey chicken.

I agree with everything above. I'd just add that it's completely understandable John forgot that his first wife was murdered and he was the suspect. I forget things all the time. So, to visit the shallow end . . . Andrea had some real competition in the jewelry arena last night. Dateline is trending on X/Twitter. Some of the comments are hilarious.

It's so interesting how opinions can vary drastically. I was very impressed with Scott throughout the episode--he seemed to be quite articulate compassionate. But that bit at the end made me kind of queasy. In spite of all we knew by then about his family, he seemed to want to retreat into some Hallmark fantasy. His mother had been having an affair, his father was an alcoholic, they had a lousy marriage, his sister was a homicidal and manipulative liar--but all Scott wanted to remember was this soft-focus, cotton-candy reel of happy memories. I hope that somehow serves him well through life, but I think I'd prefer to take a more realistic view of the way things were and build on that. Kari lied like she breathed, but she was terrible at it. In the previews before the opening credits, I looked at her and said, "That's some awful fake crying. Who did she kill?" And this was prior to having any idea of what had happened. I'm amazed the cops believed her for a hot minute. (And I know Detective Viramontes from The First 48. He's a smart guy.)

I usually hate the fawning over each other that goes on on this version of the show, but I really enjoyed the Flay episode. I was sad to hear about Nacho, who was a beautiful cat. RIP. I didn't think Bobby needed to cook anything complicated, since for everyone who knows him, he has nothing to prove when it comes to his bona fides. Sometimes all you want is something quick and delicious. Gave them more time to talk. I get that he's a bit of a cad, but he reminds me so much of the NY boys I grew up with that I can't help loving him.

Yeah, that answer ^. I hadn't noticed a lot of copying from Bosch, but maybe it slipped below my radar. Probably fortunately for us, Harry just plays jazz on vinyl rather than singing. I would give a body part for that house and that view, though. Harry's, I mean, not Ridley's.

. . ., etc. Well, then I guess you'll just have to take it up with Merriam-Webster. And Geoffrey Chaucer. And close to a thousand years' worth of native English speakers.
