I believe that just seeing the name Columbine creates more of an immediate gut reaction in viewers than a more recent or thematically relevant incident would provide. It is like an emotional shorthand that required no further explanation to the audience.

After all, we have female singers, female motorists…

Oh that's right! That line got a huge laugh out of me.

And once again, Mr. Molesley gives the choke-me-up moment of the week.

I'm just relieved we didn't end up with a dead homosexual villain in the bathtub.

I kept waiting for a moment where Mary pieces together exactly why no one in the family wanted her to know about Marigold. But no. So now we know she has no self-awareness, is incapable of introspection and acts purely out of selfishness and malice.

He hardly needed to add the part about "watching the fishermen pull in their nets" but just couldn't resist, I guess.

A-M humping a giant bolster cushion covered in baked beans and chocolate? What's better than that?

They could have ditched that "CBS Cares™" tagline to the PSA. I was all with them up to that point, then it was like, eww.

They've bee doing an excellent job of depicting heinous acts without wallowing in the imagery. I appreciate that. Watching this show is grueling enough as it is without graphic nastiness.

I loved how Anne picked up the gun from the table like it was radioactive.

Good point. He's discharged from the hospital after a suicide attempt and he's not assigned a therapist?

Plus they had been texting each other. "U coming or not?"

Interesting point. I don't know if it's different in current teenspeak but "turning someone out" in pimp terms usually involves a group.

HOLY CRAP!!! HO. LY. CRAP. I have no words.

I love the way he turned his back to swipe at his eyes.

That was the best scene in the episode. Had me choking up a little.

I was getting mesmerized by those feathers in Mary's hat at the race.

I swear, she sounds like someone doing a parody of that accent. None of the other characters on the show talk like that, at least not to that extreme.

To say nothing of Mary's smug, cat-in-the-cream face as she walked away.
