That's why I thought it was really important when it happened on Friday Night Lights as well, especially in a small Texas town and involving 2 teenagers.

Yea there's no way the shoplifting had anything to do with Tricia's time in prison.  As someone else said, I'm guessing drugs - she may have become part of a dealer system (who also sampled the product, of course).

Agreed.

The minute Pornstache locked her in that closet, my stomach hurt.  I could feel the OD coming - I was actually picturing a Breaking Bad Jane's situation.  Knowing it was coming didn't make it any less heart-breaking though.

Extremely well said.

SO MANY FEELS for Taystee/Poussey in this episode.

IIRC, when the writers first had Monica and Chandler sleep together in London, it was going to be a one-time wacky thing that happened.  But then that got the wheels spinning on the chemistry the characters have had in the past, and then things like Chandler asking why Monica would never date him from the beach crept…

wow, really??  I always tear up watching their proposal.  Chandler's terror at thinking he might actually lose her was affecting.  To each his/her own!

I loved Monica and Chandler together, and even though the writers didn't set out to get them together, there were enough moments in early seasons (the one where he hugs her when she's in a towel to cheer her up comes to mind, rest of the episode is unfortunately escaping me) that it did not seem forced (to me).  They…

Seriously, me too!

Great point.  It would be very different if she had found out.

Poll: who was a worse foil for Rachel & Ross getting together in season 1: Barry or Paulo?

"Animal Control Employee Marla Hooch" <—- lolz

I have to side with Joe in this couples' squabble.  "The One with the Poker" is the first time we see that - oh wait, maybe this Ross-Rachel thing isn't so one-sided.  That is huge.  Her snark and her bravado are actually flirtatious - Rachel just hasn't realized it yet.  I'm guessing a lot of fans would actually…

Grandma died last season, the day Mike bought her her own apartment.

Ditto!  I yelled at her through the TV to not leave the play (it didn't work).

Oh, I definitely heard that line as "LITT up."  This is Louis we're talking about, of course Katrina and him would make that pun!  And I laughed at it, sue me!

why thank you!  i really appreciate it.
