This one was better. Maybe Monty is actually Nell's guardian angel.

I got the sense that he came back because she did not learn the lesson she was supposed to from her experience with him. Which would be a really interesting storyline...these ghosts experiences being about helping Nell grow as a person.

I really liked the scene where Cricket could feel her husband's presence, and when Nell opened up about her miscarriage. Powerful stuff.

I think this has been my favorite episode so far. I was so happy to see Monty again that I clapped a little, and I'm really enjoying the growing friendship between Cricket and Edward. And nobody brings tears to my eyes and a lump to my throat like Gina Rodriguez. 

And I have to wonder now if we'll ever see Jesse again, since Monty came back. I know it's not healthy for Nell to be hanging out with a dead guy, but I really liked him.

Langston Kerman, who played Jesse, is just so cute. I could watch him all day.

Me too. I was wondering how they we're going to resolve things between Nell and Sam. I was not expecting such an emotional scene, but it was really powerful and explained a lot about where Nell is emotionally. She has lost more than just a relationship.

The actor that plays Jesse has so much screen presence. I can stare and listen to him all day. Hope we see him again, even if it’s unhealthy for Nell.

Loved seeing Monty again.

This episode was great - I wouldn't mind if Monty came back every once in a while, though.

I was totally not expecting that miscarriage reveal at the end - I was thinking we'd get the "superpowered protagonist reveals power to best friend" moment.

I'm rewatching this little gem of a show and ugh, the scene where Nell reveals her miscarriage is so good! The more I re-watch the more I notice what a great job the actress did, putting these emotions in just the right words. It really makes me feel things.
