Sit on the potty chair, Lola.

I wonder if Lola has to hold her breath?  Can't imagine what that room smells like.

[Azubah]

"What your dad did was awful and wrong. But no one's judging him."

Look up "judging" in the dictionary, Lola.

New hair! I like this one better.

Me too! I think Lola's very pretty no matter which hair she has on though.

[Splashes]

Inb4 she tells her to write him a letter.

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

“Nobody’s judging him.”

Oh I’m judging him!

I need popcorn. Something I can continuously eat. (And not gain too much weight).

That and a cup of coffee because this episode is starting to bore me.

[Twopper]

So off to Lola to write a letter to Daddy?   Therapy every other week.  I would think she would need to go twice a week plus I would send her to group therapy with other patients.   It is already 9:30, and she is still almost as heavy as when she started.    This season has not had many success stories with his female patients.  

[umgoblue]

Wayment...Lola has new wig!!  The Lord has answered my prayers...like manna from heaven (although it took 6+ weeks...grateful much)!!!!

[DC Gal in VA]

Nobody is judging daddy rapist Lola? Really!? Well sistah you better believe I am! Child puleeze...............

I am so pissed off hearing that psychobabble bullshit.

OK, but I'm claiming "Sassy Dr. Now" as the name of my band. 

Deal! Lol!

Tissue? What the hell Lola?

Ummm...Lola seems to be losing melanin. I have questions.

Lola's channeling her inner Michael Jackson.......

[Callaphera]

NO, LOLA. DON'T FLUSH KLEENEX!

[umgoblue]

Write it on tissue...then wipe your ass with it!  Fire Lola, please!!

[Guest]

Oh dead god. Enough with the letters!

And now we're writing one on toilet paper to flush down the toilet. Is daddy buried in the septic tank?

ETA: Sorry. The letter will be written on a "tissue." Which seems...sorta not even possible.

[poeticlicensed]

That sounds like a letter to daddy.

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh noes! Mercedes is sooooo busy she can't do Lola's assignment. WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING??

[DEG9]

No one is judging dad for sexually abusing his daughter? Really? Guess I'm nobody, because I would love to track down his rotting corpse, dig it up and throw it off a cliff into a raging bonfire, then take the bones and ground them up into fertilizer.

But that's just me, I guess. heh

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

You know what’s going to mean a lot to your daughter?  You losing weight and taking care of her and maybe getting her her own bed so she doesn’t have to sleep in a nasty bed with you and her brother. 

[OoogleEyes]

I don't know how they can sit for extended periods of time with their legs splayed out like that

[elly1517]

I thought Lola said "No one is judging you." (to Mercedes)

[Suzywriter]

New wig!!

Instead of a letter it's going to be tiny pieces of tissue that she can flush away.  Shouldn't she also sing "I'm gonna flush that man right out of my hair?"

[aliya]

I missed the 'no salad zone.'  Who said it and why? 

[mmecorday]

So "The Hustle" is basically "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" with dames. Gotcha.

[88Keys]

I wasn't paying much attention, but did I just hear Lola tell her to write something on a tissue?

Not gonna lie, this sounds like it could be pretty therapeutic, actually. 

[Donut Bear]

Lola needs to get a new schtick

There's only 23 minutes left, it's not looking good for Mercedes.

I really can't get with so many of these folks saying they "hope" they lost [fill in the blank]. How could she think she is in the 600's and but in reality gained eight pounds? Why can't they feel the difference between weight loss and weight gain, especially when they are mobile?

ITA......I know when I've put on just a few lbs by the way my clothes feel.  Can't imagine weighing as much as any of these folks, I couldn't handle eating all of the fast food and not eating any vegetables.  (Potatoes don't count!)

He should be seeing he was a piece of shit.

Busy working her 24-hour a day job as a food processor.

[CalpurniaF]

The tissue thing is beyond absurd. You can't write on tissues. Is the production crew playing games with us??

ETA: And can you imagine Dr. Now's reaction to that "therapy?"

Mercedes said that she could not order the right kind of food to be delivered in her neighborhood after a certain time of night. 

Dr. Now said "The best excuse you can come up with is that you are living in a 'No-Salad Zone'?

Dr Now said "you're telling me you live in a no salad zone."

Well, you see, it was raining. And then she got her period. And then she needed a fried chicken break...

[fonfereksglen]

Do young women feel empowered by these awful movies being released?  I miss the era of Working Girl, Moonstuck, Baby Boom, An Unmarried Woman, etc.....

[Cherrio]

Lola's boobs get bigger each episode.

They will be featured next season on the show.

I was thinking the same thing. The potty won't be emptied until one of the kids does it, Mercedes isn't bathing until someone helps hose her down, Brandon reminded us she breaks wind and I'm sure it's most convincing.

[hoosiermom]

Dr. Now said it because she said they lived in an area where they couldn't deliver salads.

[dreadfulLeigh]

I really miss the early episodes where most the time was spent after surgery. 

[CircusPeanuts]

Hi pounders— I’m late to the party due to a happy hour event. (I had some Chardonnay + fish tacos 😋)

I’ve been DYING to connect with guys all week. My coworker revealed the CRAZIEST news.... her sister was working in healthcare in Houston recently and went out on a few dates with Dr Now!!!!! She met him through a dating website. I don’t have a lot of details, but she did share photos!!! Can you believe it???

[ams1001]

Why is she cooking bacon? And giant pancakces?

At least she's sitting at a table?

She's down to half a pound of bacon at breakfast. Progress?

I wondered if she has Vicks Vaporub under her nose. It's the best smell-masking trick ever.

[CalpurniaF]

Oh, she's done. She's never getting surgery from Dr. N.

[Callaphera]

"No Little Person like to be picked up by an adult."

Yeah? Tell that to my 4'9" best friend who still demands I pick her up and give her spinnies when we're trashed together (I'm 5'10").

[sagittarius sue]

She's back to all the bacon.  Oh, it's turkey bacon.

[Midnightblue]

Ugh, that bacon is RAW
