Do you feel like our show is barreling toward a juicy conclusion?
I worry that weve got two parallel tracks that will never connect in a meaningful way.
Im not super optimistic that a satisfying end is in sight here.
Literally why would thedetectivegive a single solitary fuck about Dean and Noras personal list of suspects?
If Theodora and Chamberlain are such good buddies, why didnt the Brannocks sendherto talk to him?
Because they are absolute idiots who deserve to get Watched out of their dream house, thats why.
(Never mind that whole thing where the DNA on the envelopes was from a woman?)
Are you excited to hear Rogers whole life story?
I sure hope so!
and These coffered walls are just delicious!
Nora and Dean pay a visit to Carol.
After that, no more letters.
Has Nora considered this approach?
No, but no matter: Nora thinks the Watchers letters are different from Rogers.
Dressed in head-to-toe cream, Nora gets back to plotting.
They stake out Rogers place that night.
It is genuinely hilarious of Nora to be like,what is he so pissed about?
(Have we ruled out head trauma at some point prior to the start of the series?
They learned exactly nothing from their recent, pathetic experiences re: in-person confrontation in public arenas.
Get a LAWYER you hapless yuppies!
The next day Roger plants himself in the street staring at the Brannocks house.
Nora is wearing THREE layers of beige … the crisis is getting worse.
I am your worst nightmare come true.
He calls them rich sacks of shit.
I mean,arethey rich?
Theyre not exactly liquid right now!
Over at the Winslow household, the Westfield Preservation Society is holding a meeting.
The Society is literally three people: Pearl, Jasper, and John Graff.
Some fun updates: Jasper got mad about new windows so he smashed them with a hammer.
(Pearl, approvingly: Six-by-six windows on a Queen Anne is atravesty.)
John is horrified by change and wonders what started it … maybe it was the COMPUTER.
Just a one-manBlack Mirrorepisode over here.
Not sure why Dean is shocked by this.
Then she reads him for filth re: his sickly pallor, horrid kitchen.
Are you turning your house into a delicatessen?
I have never seen anyone spend so much money making a house look so awful.
In the morning, Dean has scotch for breakfast.
He and Nora agree they need to get out of the house and sell it.
Also her dog is cute.
Dean shouts that they WIN okay?!
He is going to SELL.
And then in the evening he has Dakota over for dinner just like I suggested several episodes ago.
He apologizes for previously being rude to this enterprising young man.
Having a daughter, its hard, you know?
is Deans idea of a cool conversation to have with a 19-year-old boy.
Lets go have some wine.
We finally have lives here!
But no one cares what they think or how they feel, least of all their parents.
The suspect board, which somehow excluded Karen, has ELLIE on it.
Next to Pigtails!!
Impact journalism, so powerful.
The way Jennifer Coolidge says, I thought we were friends, too,cunt is so beautiful.
I also love that she calls Sprinkles a muskrat.
At the end of the episode, the Brannocks are moving back to New York.
Wait, is this literally their old place?
How did they get it back?
Didnt someone else move in?
Good luck keeping those beiges bright on the filthy streets of Manhattan.
