On the one hand, I'm glad that they didn't drag out the Liz/Dime Eyes plot. On the other hand, it's annoying when people act like a supportive friend because their ulterior motive is to sleep with you.

I find it difficult to believe that Jimmy is the fourth hottest guy that Gabi has ever slept with.

I was surprised that Summer forgave Alice so quickly. Her song was basic but danceable aka it was perfect.

My partner recently had Skittles for the first time in years and he concurs with Liz about them not being good!

I like this show but it's wild that Alice can have dinner and be laughing with the guy that killed her mom. I'd be in jail for murdering him if it were me.

Also, I really hate cheating plotlines with couples that are solid. It's lazy, cliche, and so boring. Think of better issues they can argue about.

I haven’t watched tonight’s episode… But going off of last week, I don’t mind that she forgave him, and I like the idea of this particular arc… but the whole thing is falling really flat for me and I can’t quite put my finger on it. We really needed to see that first big interaction with Brian. And this might’ve changed in tonight’s episode, but I really do feel like we need to hear about that night from his side? Narratively we need to understand that night better, especially if the show is trying to not villainize him? Like, there’s a big difference between a repeat offender with no remorse, versus somebody who just made a devastatingly stupid decision.

I have yet to watch this episode but am I missing something when it comes to Brett’s character and his consequences? I know people barely get jail time for drunk driving, even when it results in death (went to high school with someone who killed someone drunk driving) but there has been no mention about a trial or anything.

I was surprised when he didn’t recognize her when she went to the coffee shop. Even if there wasn’t a trial, for some reason, they made him feel oh so guilty yet he didn’t know what she looked like?
