IT VITAL PART OF TRAINING

True, and I guess he knows her better than I give him credit for if he's sure the honesty's in her best interest at this point. He's downright taken off the mask for Martha. I hope it doesn't come at ultimate expense.

I was surprised he chose not to candy-coat Martha's departure with the bullshit Elizabeth suggested about promising to run away with her.

It looks like we got our introduction to what's certain to be decades of alcoholism for Paige (and Henry.)

Apparently, so far, Stan CAN'T pick up on beers missing from the fridge.

Wright's face when the panic struck. it did more to convey the anxiety than Attias and his D.O.P's camerawork.

I nearly cried the whole episode, and that included every one of Gaad's scenes. Richard Thomas did probably the best face-acting of his career gazing out that window.

House Encounters of the Animal Kind?

"What 2002 French musical…"? -8 Women

Talk about an unreliable narrator!
