I thought it was odd how much Eva was in the background in these two episodes.  Horgan is nominally the star but she was more of a supporting role in these episodes.

So maybe this is a sendoff for the Grace character?

Meanwhile she's looking guilty as fuck and Fiona Shaw's character is nosey as hell.  Not clear what her agenda is, to protect Roger her brother or just doesn't like the sisters?

What's with her binding her thighs?  

Fiona doesn't sound as Irish as others, even though she is Irish.

Houlihan seems eager to make her mark so she's going to be trouble -- did she have an Irish father and that is how she got her surname?

I don't know if Dublin is as diverse as portrayed on the show but it's trippy to see different POC with Irish accents.

That ending is so unexpected!!! Bad Sisters is really a bitch. The Garvey sisters will need to start uncovering all of Grace’s secrets.

I don’t believe Angelica because of her menacing and manipulative nature. Yes, Roger needs to unburden himself but he won’t tell her everything. He knows his sister is a nosy bee.

Grace’s tortoise has been featured quite prominently in the opening credit. It makes me wonder if there’s a body buried under Trotsky’s pen or in one of Grace’s planter box? 👀

I don't know, but I don't think Grace is dead. Maybe just car accident, or Ian, maybe it is Ian. Am I wring or Ian was taking the car keys in the first episode, to leave, and Grace used the same car keys in the second episode? So either Ian came back or he never left with the car?

Would the police come to Eva's door if Grace is injured and taken to hospital.

Or would they just have called her to come to the hospital in that case.

I don't think they come in person, bringing Blanid, if it's just an injury, even a serious injury.

They went to the house, told Blanid and probably asked if there was family she could stay with. 

I think Angelica is one of those Catholics who self flagellate. Usually it involves whipping one's self, but I guess she's into tying a strap around her leg til she bleeds.   I don't like her one bit. Saying that shit to Bibi's wife, just to cause trouble. 

Guess we'll find out where Iain is.

For that matter. Why isn't he going to confession? Aren't they all catholic?

A priest can't talk about a past crime, that he learned about during confession, as long as nobody is in danger. The prick is dead and the sisters don't plan on killing anybody else. So no problem confessing to a priest.

Boy, Grace just cannot catch a break!

That escalated quickly.

Yeah, I wonder whether the actress wasn't available for the full season so they needed a credible way to write Grace out. If so, I suppose having Grace move abroad would not have opened up too many storytelling avenues. It makes me sad that those were the last words she said to Blanaid (that she could hear).

I still think maybe this is a red herring and Ian isn't actually dead, but it's hard to explain away the fact that he just disappeared and didn't take his phone or any of his stuff.

OMG for some reason I misremembered/misunderstood Angelica's introduction in episode 1 and thought she and Roger were dating!! Well, everything makes SO much more sense now. 🤣 DID Roger actually tell her everything (as per what she said to Grace) or did she piece it together from overhearing the sisters' conversation in the car? I don't remember a scene of her and Roger talking in the previous episode, either, and the way she said that to Grace suggests she did know and wasn't just fishing to get her to confess.

I hate to be that person, but it seemed to me that Nora overreacted a tad to what Angelica told her. At the very least, get Bibi's side of the story first instead of blindly believing an outsider (who you don't even know where they got their information from). That kind of fabricated drama really bothers me.

You don’t recognize the family resemblance — their eyes? 😆
 

ETA — Angelica doesn't know anything, she's fishing. She thinks Grace is protecting her sisters.
