PWHCHCH January 23, 2019 Share January 23, 2019 Patrick was definitely giving out the wrong impression regarding the living arrangements. They also need to evolve Moria as a character as she hasn’t really progressed since the first season. Dunno if it’s intentional or not but it really is noticeable. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/90174-s05e03-the-plant/#findComment-5002312
ElectricBoogaloo January 23, 2019 Author Share January 23, 2019 (edited) I agree that this was all on Patrick for not being clearer. If someone that I was dating seriously said that WE should go look at apartments, then I would assume that meant because we would be sharing the apartment, not that they just wanted my opinion.

Popular Post Fake Jan Brady January 23, 2019 Popular Post Share January 23, 2019 What a great episode for Jocelyn. Her harried arrival at the cafe and later venting her frustrations at the rescheduled rehearsal were the funniest scenes Jennifer Robertson has been given during the run so far [and so great she wasn't being weighed down by Chris Elliot, as usual]. But Moira's coaching ["good, expand on that"] and blithe deflection of Jocelyn's complaints was my favourite bit ["We're just grasping at straws now, Jocelyn."] Plus Stevie got a storyline! And Ray was his hilarious self. Fantastic episode all around. 27 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/90174-s05e03-the-plant/#findComment-5002565

zibnchy January 23, 2019 Share January 23, 2019 I'm sure this is an unpopular opinion but I just don't much like Patrick. Or maybe I just don't like him with David. He comes off as too smug to me. Maybe it's the fact that we really don't know much about him. He moved to SC? Why? Where did he come from? Who is he? We really don't know. Maybe he'll loosen up. Jocelyn, on the other hand, is almost always a joy to see in a scene. She was perfect in this episode. 1 13 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/90174-s05e03-the-plant/#findComment-5003477
Nordly Beaumont January 24, 2019 Share January 24, 2019 How are we still on this fucking tour?! Lol - I was wondering how they could take David out of the motel and still keep the show the same show I love - I really didn't see Patrick wanting to rent the place for just himself. So obviously I agree he wasn't clear! When Moira told Ronnie the line is "kiss me like an animal" - I died when Ronnie so dryly responded "I'll remember on the day." Where did they find this woman? She kills me! 1 18 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/90174-s05e03-the-plant/#findComment-5005515
BusyOctober January 24, 2019 Share January 24, 2019 Loved Jocelyn's venting and Moira's supportive coaching...until Jocelyn turned on Moira. Catherine O'Hara kills me on this show. I wasn't sure what David was sneering at re. the apartment. Yes, it was small, but cozy and has potential and mostly - IT ISN'T A MOTEL ROOM! That you SHARE with YOUR SISTER! So glad Stevie got a chance to socialize with a seemingly nice and compatible guy! I was worried for a minute that she was planning to do a "makeover" on herself for her date. When she asked Johnny for $40 $50 for "shampoo too" I thought she was going to get glam. Yay for letting Stevie be Stevie and be attractive to Amir. 1 14 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/90174-s05e03-the-plant/#findComment-5006408
seacliffsal January 24, 2019 Share January 24, 2019 I really enjoyed the episode. My heart broke a little for David and agree with others that the miscommunication was on Patrick. I was so happy that the hotel got a really good review and that the family was together when they got the review. 1 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/90174-s05e03-the-plant/#findComment-5007534

David is still a very high maintenance person who doesn't really enjoy making efforts. He managed to turn the motel room into his own, but that was a painful process. Funnily enough, he should have felt right at home in that apartment because that hole looked exactly like a NYC apartment and Ray sounded exactly like a NYC realtor. "So this is open concept and the toilet is right next to the kitchen to maximize space and you are lucky to have a closet, so take it and shut up!" I once visited an apartment that had shower tiles everywhere. They went from the bathroom which had those accordion doors into the kitchen, the living room and the bedroom. I really loved the dynamic between Stevie and Amir and I'd really like to see him come back. I don't know if Stevie is still with Jake, and god, I hope she isn't. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/90174-s05e03-the-plant/#findComment-5011485
Enginerd January 28, 2019 Share January 28, 2019 That apartment was nice! It had hardwood floors, window seats, and a fireplace! Install a door on the bathroom and get an armoire that doubles as a divider between the living and sleeping areas, and problems solved! But yeah, Patrick should have realized that he made it sound like he wanted to share the apartment with David. Maybe this is a step toward David developing more independence and getting an apartment for himself, on his own? The apothecary seems to be successful enough. But also, this tiny town seems to get bigger and bigger. Now there's an apartment building that has never before been seen? There was a robber no one recognized or noticed? Just exactly what do the Roses own? I wish they would ever address that. They live at the motel for free, but Stevie actually owns it. Does the town council pay their bill there? But they couldn't pay rent on a different apartment instead? IT MAKES NO SENSE. 1 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/90174-s05e03-the-plant/#findComment-5016909

When they started up with Stevie owning the motel last season I was confused. It was very unclear. Roland kind of acted like he owned it, but when Stevie's aunt died, she was informed that her aunt was actually the owner and Stevie inherited it. Maybe the aunt had left Roland as an acting manager as far as the sort of thing an owner would take care of (financials, etc.)? Maybe Roland had some right to let the Roses live there, and then when Stevie inherited it, she agreed to let the Roses stay as part of the deal in Johnny becoming her business partner. But what owning the town means is still a complete mystery. Obviously, most of the real estate is owned by other people. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/90174-s05e03-the-plant/#findComment-5021463

chaifan October 22, 2019 Share October 22, 2019 Sorry, I'm just not buying that that motel is getting positive reviews on any travel blog. Yes, things have been improving, slowly, since Johnny got involved, but it doesn't really look any different. Glad Stevie has what appears to be a normal human being interested in her. What happened with the really cute apartment Alexis and David found back in season 1 or 2? 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/90174-s05e03-the-plant/#findComment-5694603
Mama No Life July 4, 2020 Share July 4, 2020 If you look carefully though you will notice the hotel is improving bit by bit. There are chairs outside the rooms now (plus the boxwoods, haha). The box of cinnamon rolls is always by the coffee machine and things seem to be a bit cleaner and neater. Also, this guy's beat is "out of the way places" so he's going to see a lot of motels like Rosebud, not Doubletree. Still don't know how Johnny became manager and also has to worry about funding repairs while Stevie is in Elm Valley but I don't know that it really matters lol. Best part for me was that while David was probably a little thrown about the apt confusion he did not pitch a fit or break up with Patrick when he found out the apartment was just for him. Growth, I thought. They are so stinking cute together. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/90174-s05e03-the-plant/#findComment-6213262

awaken August 18, 2023 Share August 18, 2023 Good episode! Loved Emir for Stevie. I thought the "door open/door closed" bit was done just a BIT too many times- it was funny the first 2 times, then became stale. I just cringed for David finding out the apartment was just for Patrick! That really wasn't very kind of Patrick to let him go on thinking it was for both of them. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/90174-s05e03-the-plant/#findComment-8111791
