Someone above said it was a little convenient that Bonnie showed up when she did, but no—-she saw what was happening and chased after Perry, because she knew what she saw.

It would be quite justifiable.

There's plenty of money, but I suspected Celeste chose something on the ocean because she knew she was going to have to tear her boys away from their home and was doing what she could to make the transition smoother for them.

I was hoping they would all be in on it. I checked the book as well and I think they made the right choice to keep the men out of the scene and let the women handle it as a team. Much better.

This is going to be a great year for you, Sparkles.

Jane saw a real estate brochure in the hotel room where Perry raped her, for the house he and Celeste were about to buy when she learned she was pregnant. She moves to the area not with the intent of hurting him, but to show him Ziggy. Just wants him to see the child.

He used his cousin's name as cover when he was caught stealing as a child. I thought it was absurd that it could have been a cousin, but not that Perry would use his cousin's name while in rapist mode.

In the book it's kind of great because Perry, though furious, is turning on the shallow charm, and Jane says, "We've met before." Celeste and Madeline immediately put it together and that's when Perry loses it.

She was young, overworked, and a little overwhelmed, but not insufferable.

The book handles that part pretty well, actually. Jane has come to the area in search of Perry. And there's a decent explanation for the Saxon Banks thing, which the script really bungled.

But it was interesting that Celeste thought that, and the audience too, or at least the readership, until the reveal. I know there's lots of telegraphing though.

In the book, it's not a coincidence that Jane has moved to the area, and therefore not a great coincidence that she eventually sees Perry.

My god that stupid dinner. First, Nathan had to get together with Madeline for a beer to be an asshole and oh yeah, invite her and Ed to dinner. Then Ed has to go by Bonnie's studio and interrupt a class she's teaching to discuss how they ought to behave at the dinner. Then endless discussions between the couples over…

You never know when you're gonna need it, right?

Because when that childlike innocent is one's parent (and I had one like this), the offspring suffers in ways too numerous to mention. Worse, you love the parent, everyone loves the parent, while the parent is incapable of keeping you safe. I'm all for innocent and naive. I just think it's sad when they procreate.

Bill Burr. Yeah, he's good.

I thought Saul said he caught his wife banging his stepfather.
