“In real life, Berkowitz himself called a press conference in February 1979 to declare that he was faking his initial claims of schizophrenia. On the show, this revelation comes as a result of a particularly clever interrogation by Tench and Ford, who get Berkowitz to open up by playing on his insecurities.”

Oh, right! I have no idea but those are good questions. They might just drink all of their food. I suspect we’re going to find out.

The rings? I think they're fairly straightforward piercings, aren't they?

Ooh, I like that!

I’m pretty sure the answer is a simple “that would be inconvenient”. :p

I think you’re giving the writers too much credit. There will probably be some changes but I don’t expect anything that significant. I just realized, though, that one of the punishments might be those mouth rings so that’s nice. :/

Barring some giant change of heart, this will be my last recap of The Handmaid’s Tale,

I completely forgot about Eden, that’s how much I cared about her.

Wasn’t there a story about how Clooney could’ve left his show before his contract was up but he chose not to for the sake of everyone else on it?

I have a vague notion that Wilmer and Demi started dating when she was underrage and he was very much the opposite and it's making me wonder why her loved ones are so excited about them as a couple.

Good news, she has seen the error of her ways! This apology is 100% sincere.

Non-date: A- (If Greg bails on the $50 balloon package and orders dinner, doesn’t that put him over the limit?)

He probably thought they would figure it out by themselves.

I doubt it. Aline and Rachel have been talking about four seasons since the very beginning.

So Rebecca is going to become a songwriter, right?

The piece opens with an incident that “still bothers” Morgan, where a girl in computer lab told him to stop opening and shutting the door. When he didn’t she “smacked him in the face” and he “smacked her back.” This was the advice Morgan’s mother gave him:
