Nice knowing you, Isabelle.

Naturally the moment she was shown at the active shooter situation and Leanne said "She deserve to be there," she was a goner.

I still don't get Leanne's view of Dorothy.  In the last episode, she was smug, hostile, and mocking.  This episode she's all wounded, like "Dorothy, why don't you like me anymore?"  Is the show trying to portray a typical mother/rebellious daughter relationship?

I really can't stand Dorothy. She should have been doing the story.

I love Dorothy, Lauren Ambrose plays her brilliantly. She’s my second fav, right after Julian.

I honestly think I hate everyone at this point. Except Sean, and I hated him a LOT of the first 2 seasons.

Donut - a hole in the head…🎯 

Welcome back Kourtney with a K!

Julian has been hypnotised into a submissive role and milk is his new viagra/cocktail. “Don’t be afraid of feeling good, Julian.” And she serves him milk in front of his family. Julian is now officially a milkaholic! 😂

The power struggle in the Turners’ household is getting worse. Sean’s attempts at fixing things without fixing things just to get back on his marriage bed. While Leanne continues to mirror Dorothy - the dominance, influence, manipulation and control.

Dorothy asks Sean about what Leanne has over/on him, not realising it’s all about the truth of her own action. Dorothy checking on her old calendar to remind herself on what she has forgotten then suddenly checking on Jericho’s heartbeat, she’s on the right track in discovering the whole truth.

Leanne doesn’t deny that the baby is hers when Isabelle asks her.

If Isabelle is really a good investigative journalist, there’ll be records and evidence of her informal investigation somewhere including Jericho’s death certificate.

Leanne will get pregnant with baby Juju soon, too much foreshadowing.

Does Jericho says “mamma” when Leanne touches his head? 😱

My favourite line is from Sean to Julian: “Can you continue to be completely f*cking useless?” 🤣

Leanne sneakily disposes the donut bag afterwards as if it is the proof of her crime. Is that her donut voodoo or does her new minions have anything to do with Isabelle’s shooting?

Are we supposed to hate Dorothy and fear Leanne now? 🤔

C.R.E.E.P.Y.

What Leanne says: “She deserves to be there, Dorothy.”

What she means: “See what am capable of Dorothy. And I did that for you. You should be thankful, crisis averted. Now can you like me, again?”

What I don't get is that Leanne didn't seem to care about Dorothy in the previous episode, and was somewhat mocking her.  Is she testing her limits with Dorothy to provoke a reaction?  Trying to see if "mom" will still like her even when she's bratty?  (Pretty clear she got her answer last week.) 

I wondered if Leanne somehow swapped out the doughnuts while Isabelle was looking at the video wall and replaced them with her voodoo doughnuts or whatever, but it's unlikely she could replicate the doughnuts that Isabelle bought so quickly.  Or is it?

I still believe Jericho is the doll brought to life.
