I can't warm to Kelly Cutrone at all. She's not love-to-hate obnoxious like Janice Dickenson, she's abrasive and charmless. I don't find her feedback entertaining nor does it seem useful. Half the time she just says "my client wouldn't book you" (not very constructive) or else she comes out with nonsense like "It…

The hair! It bugged me too throughout this season. She sported some gorgeous side-braids, but I struggled to believe Keith was getting up at the crack of dawn to play my little pony on his adult daughter's  head. At least she still wore sensible shoes.

Highlight for me was Joe Lando yelling, "CASSIE! NO! BAD DOG!" as Cassie was about to bash her boyfriend's dad's head in.

Makes sense to me too. She's an inveigler, who's manipulated the Graysons into thinking she's indispensible because they're lazy and self-obsessed and it's easier to have Ashley do it (whether it is a party or an impromptu press conference) than arrange for someone else to do it or do it themselves. And did you see…

I… I liked Riley. Yeah. I was the one person. It was me. But then I like apple pie. I like that it's solid and dependable and always there for you when you need it. I like that it's comforting and uncomplicated and doesn't hang around brooding or stalk off in a mood. And I like that it doesn't have sex with you and…

Thanks for that.

Argh. I misspelled Croydon. *throws self under tram to Beckenham*

I don't really understand Takeda's motivation either. Whenever he appears on screen, I step out of the scene and make a little confused Scooby Doo noise.

I liked this episode. (Maybe because they made us wait for it, building anticipation.) My favourite moment had to be Emily reassuring Daniel she loved him while the string section from Jaws played ominously in the background.

Yeah. I appreciate the attempt at symmetry, but I'm skim-reading with six tabs open, spotify going, and the cat and a bowl of popcorn in my lap (oh what a Friday night.) I don't want to have to play spot the difference with the sentences. Sorry.

Didn't a Puerto Rican girl already threaten to stab them when they went shopping in Goodwill?

Presumably for the same reason that turned Max into a sort of surrogate Jew in this episode instead of making her ethnically Jewish but not raised in the Jewish faith (which would have been a darker, and ultimately more rewarding, take.)

True.

Same. It never occurred to me that she was raped until now. A bad first sexual experience (as it was clear it was, even before he stole her clothes) alone might be enough to make a girl as sensitive as Mac wary of rushing into sex again, never mind everything else that came out that night. And as well as the trust…

I could reply to this with my thoughts on quiche, but I probably have more thoughts on quiche than on this episode, which kinda backs up the point you made in your review. It was a TV show; some stuff happened; it didn't make me sick.

That fire scene was a 12 year old girl's idea of a brooding romantic hero. After the drawings, he burnt the pages where he'd practised signing Klaus Mikaelson-Forbes, Klaus Forbes-Mikaelson, Klaus Formikaelson, Klaus Fikaelson etc.

Esther is the new Mikeal *sigh*

I haven't watched this yet, but anticipate disagreeing with the review purely because we have very different feelings about quiche.

The lube joke was so awkwardly laboured and awful, at the end I half-wanted Finn to pipe up that he thought they were talking about bum sex.

I genuinely enjoyed Love Shack. It felt like the end of a Rodney Dangerfield movie.
