Just because she has a fivehead doesn't mean she's a killer, man...

It’s all in the eyes, oh yeah and the dead hubby

Why would you fly somewhere that just had a major hurricane when you don’t even know where your fiancé is? I'm so scared and am praying for this crazy woman.

I'm wondering if the situation is as bad as Victor says it is. Or she thinks it might be.

Wow...I just remembered seeing Hare Krishnas dancing in the street the first time I went to NYC. I was 9 years old. They all wore orange and yellow robes and most of them were bald. I remember thinking they looked really cool.

I'm from greater Boston--when I was in high school my friends and I would skip school and go into Boston, which, in 1970, was positively awash in people in colorful costumes, hawking their books and other merch, asking for money. It was like a gauntlet. Scientology, Hare Krishnas, Children of God, Process (all in black, mostly Brits, very exotic!), Moonies, you name it!

Ellie needs therapy, not a marriage.

[Hotel Snarker]

I can’t imagine how scared Ellie might be thinking of the possibility that Victor is dead, especially considering she’s already widowed and hasn’t really processed her late husband’s death. Feel bad for her.

[Auntie Anxiety]

I’m going to bet that the area around Armando’s and Ken’s place doesn’t look anything like what they just had on for the intro.

[mmecorday]

I wonder if Kenny has gotten used to candy with road dirt on it.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Kenneth starts crying in 3....2....1

[charmed1]

Kenny got big a little bit.

[Pepper Mostly]

Is Kenny crying yet? 

Oh yes, I see he is.

He got big, but only like, I don't know, 55%.

Yeah, I noticed that too. He's filled out in the face.

[kacesq]

“I know life here will be different” as car passes a 7-11...

[Auntie Anxiety]

I watched the first look and I wanted to smack Cassidy for what she does to Kenneth on the drive home. The guilt was laid on thicker than a Jewish mother does it (I’m a Jewish mother, so I know how this works).

[Angry Moldovan]

It did melt my black heart slightly

[Hotel Snarker]

What a jazzy musical transition. 90 Day editors are ruthless.

Capitalize "day"

[greekmom]

I'm hoping with the new administration that Kenny can just bring Armando and his daughter up to the US.

 

[Floatingbison]

I remember the Hare Krishnas harassing me at an airport when I was in middle school, flying across the country on my own when  I had about $7.35 that had to last me from Atlanta  to Seattle.  Why would they pick on a penniless 14 year old?

Not for the sensitive:

Spoiler

From the Hershey Highway?

 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Kenneth, stop. STOP! You devoted yourself to your kids. No it’s your turn to enjoy your life with someone you love.

[Grifter Lives]

I never realized how Kenny drops his ending g's ("missin'"), until these scenes.

[charmed1]

Why does TLC insist it’s 1997 and people still pick up their friends and family inside the airport during a global pandemic? Is it really necessary to stage these stupid scenes?

[My Girls]

This broad is looking for something to cry about?!

[mmecorday]

I'm not going to comment on someone's weight gain because I saw myself in the mirror at the beach and I looked like Alfred Hitchcock below the boobs.

[kacesq]

Oh FFS Cassidy you’re a fucking adult. But you’re clearly Kenny’s daughter..over dramatic and weepy.

If I were Armando I would not leave Mexico. The administration may have changed but the anti immigrant sentiment, not to mention the anti-vax sentiment, would keep me firmly rooted in my home country. 

[Doublemint]

Where's her child?   Now she's laying it on thick.    I want to punch her!   Bitch.

You should definitely tell him you want to swap spit before you leave.  Or maybe not.

He's actually at the NEW job!  He's the person who talked me into applying.  So I won't have to say goodbye!  And y'know, maybe there will be a business trip that will happen and I'll have a drink and end up making out with him On Accident in an elevator somewhere.  Not that I've plotted this out or anything.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Dad, you left me with having to do EVERYTHING to facilitate getting the family together. You’re so selfish, Dad!

[Angry Moldovan]

Ok, I get what Kenny is crying about. I never told my husband how homesick I would get the first year or so. Didn’t want him to feel guilty, so I did hide my tears 78%

I thought they were living in Mexican because they were planning on living off of Kenny’s social Security?

Guys.  I accepted a job offer last week and now I have to break it to my current team that I'm leaving the company.  Yikes...  (so my interview went fine!)

And I kind of want to make out with my friend who works there, but he doesn't know it.

Anyway, hellooooo let's fret about hurricanes now.

 

Do it, make out!  If you don’t you might regret it forever.  I still remember the best kiss I ever had.  I married someone else. 😔

They could convert you and you would make money for them.....

[kacesq]

The Family Chantal is coming back?????

[Pepper Mostly]

Kenny, your ridiculous, overwrought, drama queen kids are GROWN. Guess what, Cassidy? THINGS CHANGE. DEAL. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Family Chantal. That’s a hard no.

[greekmom]

Pedro and Chantel and doing IFly? Ohhh I did that too!

[Floatingbison]

Jenny is sooo working this religious loophole.

 

GO BACK TO PALM SPRINGS LADY AND BUY A USED HONDA PRELUDE AND GET A JOB LIKE THE REST OF US.

Cooper's damned.

[Hotel Snarker]

Kenny, your kids sure love to guilt trip you. You have no need to apologize for trying to live your life. It a hard situation but you and your kids will find a new normal. It's OK to be homesick and miss family.

There are TLC dollars still to be harvested.

True story - I had the same situation, but ended up at a strip club with a bunch of people from work, and the rest....  anyways, it was a little awkward after haha

Looking back, I realize my parents raised as a free range kid, although there was no term for that back then.

THIS.

If I recall correctly, the kids' mother was a friend of Kenny's, right? Do they not have any relationship with her? Or was she literally just a vessel?

Is there much options for a 60 something year old lady? Except Walmart greeter?

Kenny's only in his fifties, he's not drawing SS yet. And Armando has a job and a young daughter. Why uproot her? Kenny, supposedly, was free, since his kids are supposedly grown up.

Dear God, shit  just got a lot more stupider.

Can they go away and take Family Libby with them?

I was just going to ask why they weren’t going to move to the US.   It’s not like Armondo has a supportive family they want to be near.
