I think we have become more savvy about how shows are edited. Knowing who the winner is before the first episode airs gives editors an opportunity to build a storyline that makes for a satisfying winner. It’s less about who the producers want to win than who the producers know already won and therefore want us, the…

Well, I also thought Loretta finally telling Dickie the truth about being his mom was anticlimactic as hell.

Not sure how I made it to the age I am without realizing that in the UK it’s BSL instead of ASL. Curious, though, if it’s much different?

Right, so then she would have had to tell the cab driver her address and Aidan would have heard it. Exactly my point.

Of course Wyatt asked his father to turn the phone away from Carrie - his dad’s 50-something girlfriend is wearing a see-through dress with black underwear while lounging on a bed! I’d hang up too. 

I don’t remember but was it a yellow cab? If it was an Uber or a Lyft, he wouldn’t have known the address.

EXACTLY. Nobody does, even the writers of this show wouldn’t do that. 

Agree with you re: the interaction with Alessio - esp as it was one of the only times there was no translation of the conversation via subtitles, so we (the viewers) were as much in the dark as Albie was as to what was really said.

I’m loving this show and this episode was great but still have questions:

Exactly - didn’t Cinda interview Becky’s dad and the mayor during the investigation? And any person in town who knew Becky? That’s how true crime podcasts work.  Wouldn’t Poppy have been present at those interviews? Is it really possible for her to have faded into the background just because she’s holding a…

Of course! Silly me. 

I know Theo has an ankle bracelet, but how far can he travel with it? He goes all the way to Coney Island. Don’t these have a distance limit?

The NYC Aquarium is there, though, so not such a wild thought.

Riding the subway or an uber would mean other people would hear what Mabel was saying, but I agree that I was worried about Theo’s driving!

He also seemed to be the sommelier, not the waiter.

there’s a goddamn secret passageway that connects all the houses

Thank you! “Step-sister” really bugged me, too. Do most people really not know the difference unless they are part of a blended family? A step sibling happens through marriage and the implication is that Charles’s father impregnated Bunny’s mom, not that he married her.

Personally, I found the camera shot of Kim’s face reflected in her coffee cup a little too much. 

I mean it beats Arielle, who is a “podcast kinda gal.” EYEROLL.

I just don’t believe he didn’t try to pull it out at an earlier time. When he proposed at 18? On their wedding night? When she found out he cheated and he wanted desperately to win her back? When they briefly reunited in their 30s? On every one of those occasions, Kevin would have thought this was the right romantic…
