Dude, I had that thought for a half second before I realized how effing weird it would be for trying to make whoopee with his bio mom. I don't think ABC would go their with their equivalent of Wonderful World of Disney. Maybe Suburgatory. (zing!)

It's strange but I found myself wondering about Redheaded Olivia throughout this episode. If Amberlivia is experiencing Ourlivia's memories, I wondered if she was blurring between her twoselves on the Earth 2, as well. But if the reason why Amberlivia's memories are getting messed with are tied to coretexiphan, then…

For the last time, WHERE THE BLOODY HELL IS KATHERINE?

I'm holding out for the episode where Amelia raises her standard eyebrow and reduces Sarah into common sense tears. Then it's ousted Jason Ritter. It HAS to be happen. I don't think Sarah is actually foolish enough to follow through on making a baby with dude (though they're certainly painting her as such). Can she…

^This. That scene is what turned a C+ episode into a B- for me. Even if he had to deal with a season of Saint Kurt, if the outcome is a genuine and realistic moment like that, I'll let it ride.

Oh my god, ME TOO. It's so… oddly… comforting…

I don't think she'll skip out with the baby. I think she's more attached to Julia and Joel more than she is with the kid, which is weird. It's hard to fight against that feeling of comfort and being taking care of, but she's trying her damndes to let this kill her in the end when she has to cut off ties. She's…

Agreed. Hands down one of Miles' best scenes on the show. Could have been completely trite "meet the new guy my mom's banging", but it was sold and carried on that awkward kid's shoulders. He doesn't say much, but man, when he does….

"I look like a ho" was one the best lines all night. Katie totally sold it.

What I want to know is how she (Elena) magically pulled that dress from her closet? It was bit a much. Caroline's was my favorite. I disliked Rebeka's hair. It looked like armor.

I think it will be hard for Elena to seriously go through any plan that kills Elijah. He's been so.. HONORABLE. Even Mama Original said so. I mean, Klaus killed everyone (even if he's tender with Caroline), who gives fucks about Kol and Finn, and Rebecka, meh… But Elijah? Really? To fuck Stefan? Surely, she's better…

Why isn't he writing this entire season again?

Ehhh… As the byproduct of two teachers, one of whom taught in the public school system for twenty-five years, and with some familiarity with the behind the scenes politics of the public school teaching, it's really not that far of a stretch for me.

Yeah, I totally agree! The only redeemable quality to John is that you can tell he genuinely cares for Bay, Daphne, and Toby. He's definitely a bit sexist, culturally ignorant, racially insensitive, which makes him an overall good portrayal of the negative affects of white male privilege. As for the comment about it…

Yeah… I thought it was lazy how they brought up the grandmother and only to shuffle her back into obscurity. Plus the actress is great. Shame. Oh well. 
Overall, I thought it was a solid episode. I like how this show rarely tries to oversell anything. I've been trying to convince others that this is one of more nuanced…

Seriously! He sucks. Lazy asshole.

Nevermind. I hate that you can't delete comments.

Ehh… Just because it didn't advance the plot in a technical, in your face, action packed sort of way, doesn't mean it didn't advance the plot emotionally. I think we're a little further than we were last week, if only by a few paces. I definitely don't see this as a standalone episode.

Agreed with tossin. I feel as if the writers have proven themselves more than capable for me to just let the show ride and do it's thing. Extensively pouring over minute details that we can't possibly begin to understand until after the seasons over and all of the episodes have presented themselves or hell, there's…

I feel at some point, the two timelines are just going to have to blur because the familiarity will be there, you know? You already have hints of flirty Peter & Olivia. Walter is making an effort, sort of, with Peter. Altlivia was partially salivating at the mouth. Things will eventually blur and settle… unless the…
