I wonder if they've written off the neice or cousin or... whoever it was who was living with them and was a lesbian. I liked her character. It was about time someone stopped going along with the abusive bullshit. I was impressed by the movie scene. I liked seeing Christina come into her own. It appears that her crazy was due to being constantly undermined driving her a bit crazy.

HurricaneVal March 8, 2022 Share March 8, 2022 Oh my heart. The scenes between the sisters....the arguments and sniping and also the scene at the end in the theater. Poor Tunde. I think Ebun is very jealous of how much Tunde loves Olu--to the point that he was willing to leave Nigeria to keep their relationship the same. I think a lot of her ugliness stems from that jealousy. "Your floors had brown stuff on them!" ::quietly:: "Yes, I know. That was the varnish!" Poor Kofo. If Christine comes back, he'll be relegated back to the floor again. That lunch with Christina, Abishola, Gloria, and Kemi was something else again. Christina's troubles with her mom really poked a sore spot for Kemi. I really love that this show is turning into an ensemble show. Bob and Abishola have become just a part of the cast. Yes, they were the catalyst for this whole ensemble to be together, but they're just two personalities out of the whole mix. There will be some more Bob and Abishola centric episodes, for sure, but I like it best when the whole cast gets to shine. 14 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/127424-s03e14-every-subpoena-is-a-tiny-hug/#findComment-7331609
Yeah No March 9, 2022 Share March 9, 2022 I have to say I really liked this episode despite the fact that Bob and Abishola were on the sidelines. I agree with everyone about the scenes featuring the sisters being great. I also liked how the sock company Christina went to work for paralleled at least one real life company that actually is getting $20.00 or more for a pair of socks online and donating pairs to homeless shelters. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/127424-s03e14-every-subpoena-is-a-tiny-hug/#findComment-7332958

I feel sorry for Christine , I hope they have her be more than the “ crazy” one . Actually, anyone who has Dottie as a mom would be messed up ! Love Ulu and Tunde! And I was glad to see more layers to Ebu’s character . I hope they show layers to Dottie’s character , she’s just so nasty, even when Christine is trying to be nice to her . I am not liking her at all. And Christine’s where never respected at the MaxDot, for her mom to sue her for them just seems really awful . Overall, I am really enjoying the show now that we are learning more about the characters abs it’s more of an ensemble cast .

Is there caselaw though about the instance of ownership when a company refuses to implement an idea? I ask as I dabbled in this many, many years ago, and know that the laws were set up to encourage the costs of innovation, at least in part. ETA: Olu's day of errands was a delight!

Welshman in Ca March 10, 2022 Share March 10, 2022 Pretty sure there was a big case settled out of court a few years ago where the one company was claiming an idea belonged to them because even though the person who came up with it did so in their spare time at lunch and at home they worked for said company and used company pens, pencils, laptop, computers, servers etc. Not sure what settled out of court actually means but I would presume it was settled because there was some merit in their case or the lawyer cost would have been excessive and it was cheaper to pay up. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/127424-s03e14-every-subpoena-is-a-tiny-hug/#findComment-7335379
possibilities March 10, 2022 Share March 10, 2022 I think it depends on the specific situation. I'm not sure if out of court is precedent setting, either, because as you say, often people settle just to avoid the lawyer fees and other difficulties of proceeding with the case. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/127424-s03e14-every-subpoena-is-a-tiny-hug/#findComment-7335560
tennisgurl March 10, 2022 Share March 10, 2022 I loved getting more focus on Olu and Tunde and hearing a bit more about their story, I just love them. That ending with the sisters really got me, it added some real layers and humanity to Ebun. She's probably picking on Olu and her marriage so much because she's jealous of how much Tunde clearly loves her while her own husband hasn't even called her, it makes the whole thing quite sad in retrospect.
