Thanks, I don't want to watch too many episodes at once since we all have so much time to kill, I might as well stretch the season out a bit. It's also such a damn dark show that I'm not sure it's the right thing to be watching right now. 2 Share this post Link to post

Armchair Critic 77,774 March 29, 2020 That was a real asshole move of Wendy to the current homeowners. What did she put in their milk? This show is depressing, yet here I go again... Edited March 29, 2020 by Armchair Critic 5 Share this post Link to post

Making the bed, walking around, it was like a goodbye and then she burnt it down. She’s fully embraced who she is now, bitch boss gangster. Damn I’ve missed this show. 3 Share this post Link to post

Chaos Theory 29,680 March 29, 2020 Maybe I watch too much criminal minds but I was kinda thinking that she was so resentful of her own family for holding her back that she was using The new people in her old house as surrogates for her own family. I don’t think she is at the “murder my family” phase but i think this is let’s give them the trots phase . But it is kinda a bitch move. But it was a really well done scene.

AZChristian 70,005 March 29, 2020 1 hour ago, GingerSnappy said: It was red food coloring. Yes, it was . . . but in wondering why she did that and turned the family picture upside down, all I can come up with was that it was a warning (not a threat) to that family. "You have what you think is a picture perfect life. But be careful. Something can happen, and someone can walk in easily because you weren't careful and left a key outside. Your life - like this picture - can be turned upside down, and your life could end up poisoned (red food coloring) by forces you know nothing about." Those people are never going to be so careless again - probably about anything. ETA: Either that, or she's really pissed that her American Dream life no longer exists, and she doesn't want anyone else to feel happy and safe either . . . so now these people live in fear like she does. They are only fearing a random, unknown person. She's fearing the Mexican drug cartel, the KC mob, Darlene, and Helen. Edited March 29, 2020 by AZChristian 7 1 Share this post Link to post

UnknownK 807 March 29, 2020 1 hour ago, DoctorAtomic said: Plus leaving the beer bottle. Cops can take fingerprints. Fingerprints of a person who used to live there a year ago. She left her old hidden key which is funny because I figured people changed the locks when they moved into a new house just because of this. Cops will not look into it because nothing was stolen or damaged (and the owners are not rich enough to have high up friends in the department), and in most cases even if something was taken they will just tell you to file with insurance. The food coloring was probably put into the drink to make the owners question all the food and dump it. Leaving the door open and putting the picture upside down were done so the owners know immediately somebody was in there. The whole thing was to make the new owners uncomfortable and feel violated in their new home. 8 Share this post Link to post

SayMyName 616 March 30, 2020 It's hard to get past how badly the laundering by preloading the drop boxes was executed. Let's put the money laundering on film by doing it in a room that would be full of cameras covering every inch. Maybe it could have been done by slipping money in as the boxes were loaded or unloaded from the cages but it would have to have been done in smaller amounts. 1 Share this post Link to post

Snewtsie 2,388 March 31, 2020 It was blue food coloring. In season 1, Wendy told Marty that she was a rebellious teenager. She never did anything serious, but would break into people's homes and hang out for a while... drink a beer or two, put blue food coloring in their milk, turn some photos upside down, and leave. She was visiting that same behavior in this episode, presumably for a final time in her life. 27 10 Share this post Link to post

They would know immediately upon getting home that their space had been violated. They’d call the police, have a cursory investigation done, and then would lock themselves in feeling on edge and exposed. The feelings would somewhat dull overnight and into the next day, they’d get their locks changed, and then BAM, pour a glass of milk and be violated all over again. 3 Share this post Link to post
Miss chi chi 408 April 10, 2020 The Manson Family would sneak into people's homes, move furniture and eat their food. They did it to terrify people. I found Wendy doing this to be extremely disturbing. 6 Share this post Link to post
Dobian 14,609 May 21, 2020 Just got into this show few weeks ago. So the explosion at the end of season 2 was just a dream or something? The K.C. mob blew up what looked like Marty's office, yet there was Wendy sitting in the same office in this episode. Not one mention about the bombing, and Marty and the K.C. mob seem to be on civil terms with Cosgrove's son loitering in the casino. Huh? I think Wendy's antics at the old house were her way of telling the current owners that there are hidden dangers to your happy family and your "safe" home in the suburbs is just an illusion. The Byrdes used to be that family. Edited May 21, 2020 by Dobian 1 Share this post Link to post

SlovakPrincess 8,615 May 16 I have a hard time feeling bad for Ruth every time she makes a sad face about Wyatt hating her. Every bit of this situation was caused by her own dumb decisions: convincing her family of idiot savants she was going to kill Marty, then deciding the only way to fix that was to kill her uncles, then deciding to admit to her psycho father what she’d done, then telling Wyatt the truth and expecting … what, exactly? (I still don’t understand why she thought Wyatt would believe a clearly unhinged and desperate Cade if Cade told him Ruth had killed Russ and Boyd). I couldn’t tell if Wendy “pranked” the new owners of her old house out of nostalgia for a simpler time in her life … or if the writers are hinting that teenage Wendy always had it in her to thirst for power and the ability to scare others. Anyway, she’s nuts! But at least she’s interesting! Marty was the voice of reason this episode - truly, their only hope for escape is Navarro getting blown off the face of the earth and his cartel collapsing. As guilty as he is of terrible crimes and terrible life decisions, he at least realizes their situation is nothing to be proud of or get cocky about. Hey, Wyatt washed his hair! Are we supposed to buy that the people shopping in Mexico at the beginning of the episode were relatively unbothered by the explosion, but quick to grab the money that flew every where … 🙄 Edited May 16 by SlovakPrincess Share this post Link to post
