Either that or he's another disappearing family member. Remember Petra's mom and Micheal's criminal brother?

Yeah it's a case of different people working off of different information. I think Rafeal was trying to be protective of Jane's feelings/PTSD by not telling her about the Eileen/Rose investigation until he was sure. But I'm going to be mad if Jane doesn't connect those dots. She has every reason to hate Rose as much…

I was also rooting for Dev and Priya, they had great chemistry on their first date. Tiya's got this real warmth and charisma that makes her so like-able even when she's taking work calls in the bathroom for 15 minutes.

And even still his apartment is pretty realistic for what a "actor who is making decent living but throwing most of it away on drinks/dinner/italy trips" it's not a Friends/HIMYM style palace (prehaps abetted by the fact that sitcoms need larger sound stages)

No, Dev refused to do the accent but he was mad that Ravi (whose entire acting career was based on doing Indian stereotypes) suddenly developed principles and wouldn't do it either.

I don't think Rafael knows that Eileen is really Rose but I think he suspects that Luisa has contact with her which is why he had surveillance on her room and lied to her about having cancer again to draw her out. Also why he didn't allow Luisa or Eileen to have any contact with Mateo or the twins.

Has the show really set up what the characters know? Rafael doesn't know about the fake plastic surgery Rose. He just suspects that Luisa has contact with Rose which is why had surveillance on her room/lied to her about having cancer to draw them out.

I think it's because the show has a lot of aimless random scenes and dialogue.

Aziz said his parents ended up playing themselves because they wanted to spend time with him. And I thoughtmy mom gave me epic guilt trips

I kind of love how his mother is perpetually cranky in a good natured sort of way

Yeah for all the tourists know the women volunteered to be hanmaids. I'm sure that's a party line to outsiders.

Or all the people praying outside the hospital when June and Lucas are going in. So freaky.

I'm not crazy about it either and I think that Simple Minds song belongs to Breakfast Club

And also that Scientology as experienced by the rich and famous is probably a different experience than the ordinary thetans.

Agreed. I got extra emotional since I also used to sing "three little birds" to my daughter when she was a newborn.

Yeah there are very few stories about first mothers/birth mothers. Juno made it seem like giving up your kid was super easy didn't have any long term emotional consequences.

It really baffles me that Ofglen a supposedly super sneaky member of the resistance would just start blabbing about her inside connections and past history as a lesbian to Offred in a car full of other Handmaids when we have no idea where their loyalties lie.

Interesting! Gina said in an interview one line she loved in the pilot and fought to keep in the show was when she tried to explain artificial insemination to Alba but didn't know how to explain it due to the language barier

Idk I could see the Petra scenario working it if not in an out and out racist way but maybe couched more in respectability politics. Petra's success has come as she's completely assimilated into American life. ( although maybe her antipathy towards preserving any of her czech culture is also couched in the fact that…

I wonder if Mateo Sr insisted on Xo speaking English as well. I think it's pretty typical in bilingual households for a child to understandboth but favor one language over the other. (And then that tendency has been passed down to Jane and Mateo. Although I think Jane has had a scene or two when she speaks Spanish)
