Thumbs up on all your points, and I agree about reservations re: Perry being the rapist. But it was all so well done that I didn't mind, in the end.

Welp, I just purchased my lifetime membership ​card to the Bonnie Fan Club.

Are you saying that the Jenningses getting fired from the KGB would be…. un-belize-able?

Hell, I was girl-crushing on Brenda. And I'm a straight woman with a liberal arts degree.

Look at Stan go/grow. Good for him.

Right? I feel like they could've cued up The Carpenters' "Close to You" as background music for Stan's scene.

Side note: I wrote most of the entry above by way of voice to text. That is what capitalized the phrase Evil Genius, as it did here, so I decided to keep it. Google Voice reigns supreme on that one.

Of all the heinous acts that Elizabeth has committed over the years, I am most aggrieved by the amount of water she wasted in that kitchen conversation with Paige.

I don't mean to suggest physical abuse, but I can't imagine there not being some emotional or mental abuse when married to such a psycho Scientologist.

AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHA! Perfect ^^

Never thought I'd fangirl so hard for Martha, but I audibly exclaimed when I realized who it was in the store. (Alison Wright, you are dearly missed.)

Ooh… possibly. Nice catch!

My boyfriend continues to stand by his theory that Jessa will overdose by the end of the series. He remarked last week how she looked particularly pale and had on the red lipstick, possibly to conceal telltale pale lips.

I don't doubt for a second that it's been years of Celeste telling herself that she enjoys rough sex as a coping mechanism for the fear that she's felt under Perry's increasing abuse. And tonight's flashback indicating that she finally started to fear for her life gave the impression that the sex finally feels more…

Fair point.

Couple of key takeaways from the therapy scene:

Did anyone else suspect, with the feeling of a rock in their gut, that when Celeste said she had four miscarriages, Perry's violence may have been the cause of at least one of them?

Thank you, Gwen, for the shout-out to Judd Hirsch in Ordinary People.
