I am really going to need one of those cute as hell Betty plush toy, ABC needs to start selling those ASAP. 

Not only could ABC sell plush Betty toys, but also develop a line of clothing for the dog.

He and Faith as roommates is going to be hilarious, I cannot wait.

I am 100% onboard for  for BFF roommate shenanigans!

I do not want Ormewood and Faith to be a romantic couple, but I am absolutely looking forward to fun stories about them as roommates. It feels like this will be a machine that generates silly subplots and I am totally there for it.

Has Ormewood always been so muscular?

I have no idea but I am not complaining at all.

We got to see Ormewood in a muscle shirt! 

(I realize this is the absolute definition of the extremely shallow end of the pool, and with that out of the way) I hope we see Ormewood in a muscle shirt again or in a t shirt. I'm really not that picky.

I have definitely seen the trick with setting the watches forward in the interrogation with the child trafficking suspect somewhere before - possibly in one of the Will Trent books. I cannot specifically recall which one but I knew exactly what Will and Faith were going to do. 

I had no clue who Ariana was - never heard of her before. I really liked the Superwoman aspect and she had real chemistry with Ormewood. Having said that, the "Faith moving in with Ormewood" was not on any of my prediction lists. I liked the mention of Faith's mother's reaction to the apartment again. 

I cringed when Will left Betty tied up outside. 

I hope that Scott Foley does not turn out to be a bad guy - Angie could use some good things in her life. He still has it.

I remember the clock trick being done in one of Jeffrey Denver’s Kathryn Dance books 

[peeayebee]

I just don't remember: Why is Faith moving in with Ormewood? Where was she living before?

And the thing about tricking the suspect to think more time had passed: If he thought the girl had already been handed off (or however you phrase it), then he knows it's ok to say where the girl was being kept, since she wouldn't be there anymore. So is it doing this to protect his fellow traffickers? Why? I assume he gets a deal if he says where the girl is, so why not just tell beforehand? Is he that loyal to his group?

She had bought the condo where the guy was murdered. I guess she decided to sell it after the whole ordeal with her mom being kidnapped there.

[peeayebee]

Oh yeah. Thanks. It was a nice place though. Other than the murder.

Same here -- I have no interest in seeing Faith and Ormewood as a couple but they could be fun as housemates.  I like them both so much but no to the romance please.

I can't buy into Scott Foley being attracted to Angie.  He should run the other way (unless he's a bad guy with other motives -- we shall see).

[LakeGal]

I just saw Scott Foley in La Dolce Villa a couple days ago.  This must be the week of watching Scott Foley.  I had not seen him in ages and now I see him twice in the same week.

I was so worried about Betty when Will went in the bathroom.  That was all I was worried about when he came out.  He was looking for the little girl.  But I was looking for Betty.    

[peeayebee]

It's funny, when we first see Scott Foley, I thought it was him, but sometimes it just didn't look like him, so I kept second guessing myself.

Same here, times a million. I would never, EVER in my life leave one of my dogs tied up outside somewhere, unless I could keep an eye on them the entire time. I was somewhat stunned he did that.

It looks like will brought Betty to work. Maybe this is the only scene with her, but I'll take it.

He took her to the hospital too - which I kind of questioned. I can't imagine hospitals allow animals in, except in specific circumstances.

I think the trauma arc they've given Marion is refreshingly realistic. I liked her and Will talking and bonding. I really don't know why everyone hates this rebound for Will so much. I think it's probably refreshingly normal for him, and a normal, low-stakes relationship is good for him right now.

I think so too. I've liked Marion all along and can't quite understand the hatred. But hey, I've hated a character every one else on a forum liked before, so I get it. They just seem to be a very good couple to me, and frankly hotter together than Will and Angie. As for rebounds - I've been rebounding for 40+ years with the guy I thought would be a fling. So I'm fine with rebounds. 😉

I haven't seen Scott Foley in a while and was surprised that he's aged. He still looks good, but I had him pegged as a Bob Costas kind of guy who looks 30 right up until he's 80, and then the years catch up with him all at once.

Looking mighty fine, I think. Hope he doesn't turn out to be bad news.

I don't hate the Marion character, but something about her rubs me the wrong way. I don't know what it is, and her and Ramon have no chemistry.

I need a Betty stuffed animal. Stat!

Me too.  Betty's facial coloring is similar to that of my childhood dog.  Kinda strange, as Betty is (AFAIK) pure-bred Chihuahua, while mine was a Doberman mix.

I loved Scott Foley in The Big Leap, which only lasted one season but was one of the better-written shows then. 

 I hope he's here for a while.

I really liked him in Whiskey Cavalier.  Which also went 1 season (or less?).  Is he a show-killer when he's has a starring role in it?

I think they have tons of chemistry.  (not as much as the woman who was blown up, though) One of the fun things about forums is seeing how everyone reacts differently.

I'd forgotten about Whiskey Cavalier. I did enjoy that show. Yes, it was only one season (13 eps, which back in 2019 might have been a short season...but I don't remember).

I hope not. I liked Whiskey Cavalier, too. Sad it was only one season.

I didn't get that either. Really doesn't make sense.

I had no idea. I guess I could google, but why is she famous?

 

I think something happened as she was driving, so she had to pull over. If she had actually decided she was going to pull over to change her oil... makes no sense. Do it in the parking lot of the auto parts store like other people do.

Like everyone else, I couldn't believe Will would leave Betty outside while he went to the restroom. My sister was very upset, even as I assured her that Betty would be fine. When Will came out and was chasing the guy, she thought he was chasing after a guy who stole Betty.

I guess I know why the show had Will leave Betty outside. If he had brought her into the restroom with him, he would see the little girl's jacket, come outside, see the guy who was with her before, and then... what would he do with Betty? Tie her up on the bench? Pull her along on her leash? Pick her up? If he did that, he wouldn't be able to tackle the suspect. The only solution plot-wise was to have him leave Betty outside to begin with.

Has Ormewood always been so muscular? Anyway, his plot with the reality star was fun. I got a kick out of how multitalented she was. Everything was pretty fun, though it was a weird contrast with the serious child trafficking story.

Did Will et all drug the suspect's food so he'd fall asleep? I understand they made the room warm, dimmed the lights, had Faith speak in a calming voice, but he fell asleep so quickly I wondered if he'd been drugged.

I'm not a fan of Marion, but she was ok here. 

If i remember correctly, they said he had been up for the past 32 hours, because of the trafficking travel.

Stellar episode. It has the perfect blend of humor (that slow mo Bodyguard scene to a country song cracked me up) and intrigue with the main case. They even threw Scott Foley in for good measure, and he is still as fine as ever. I also hope he’s a nice doctor and not shady since Angie deserves less trauma in her life. 
 

I like Marion and glad they are involving her in the cases through her DA work. Will needs someone in his life like her for now. I hope they don’t kill her off and give Will even more trauma- just leave the trauma babies alone already, writers!

I hope they don’t go there with Faith and Ormewood. They work well as partners, and them snarking on each other’s love lives would be way more entertaining.

I hadn't even thought of the possibility for snark to snark combat regarding their love lives. This has to be happen.
