You know, theheavy breathing call Nora answered that night at the motelback in episode two.

In a panic, Nora rings up Theodora and meets her … at the diner?
If Dean is at work and Nora is at home, shouldnt Theodora just come over?
Wasnt she there to look over the suspect board?
How dumb does the show think you are?)
We even get a flashback to the call, just in case anybody missed it.
What a marriage these crazy kids have!
Its also very Mike Pence-y that he refers to her as Mrs. Really A+ choices all around.
Just one of these treacheries would be enough.
This is what I like to calla dayenu situation.
Because … she and Darren do this all the time (!)
with their LLC (!!).
Her vases are as boring as she is.
The woman who owns the gallery is also in beige.
Did Big Beige fund this show?
Sure, I dont know how art money works.
I dont know whose funeral I went to!
for which she tells Nora to bring a Nixon chicken casserole, reciting the recipe on the spot.
We never see Nora make the casserole and nobody eats anything at this potluck.
Wow, women supporting women!
Umm I love it here!!
I would join this witchy book club in a heartbeat.
Nothing I wont do.
so she can now join our suspect list.
(Also, I just cant get over what shitty parents they are …
IMAGINE just sort of suspecting this about your husband and then … telling your teenage daughter?!
She just APPEARS inside the house.
(How creepy do you think this show wants to be?
Like … is itEllie?!!!!)
When Nora, Ellie and Carter get home from … somewhere (school?
), Dakota and Dean are waiting on the front steps.
I burst out laughing at Carters clueless hey Dad!
Is he even in this show?
Does he exist in a parallel universe where none of this is happening?
Dakota explains the whole situation again, even though we the audience heard this explanation approximately three minutes ago.
Ive always said that great parenting is about inconsistency.
Keep your kids on their toes!
Anyway we are back to the how did she get in the house?
He immediately folds on the letter front: Just the last one, Im sorry.
He panicked, okay?!???
They are so clueless, good lord.
Dean is still obsessed with John Graff.
This is when Nora FINALLY realizes that Karen is an obvious Watcher frontrunner.
The next day (I think?
Nora isnt about it since she and Dean paid $3.3 million for the property.
Instead she finds Karen having a very cozy lunch with Detective Chamberland.
Buddy, learn to live within your means!
That evening, Ellie is here with a contribution.
Unlike her parents, she knows how to use the internet.
If Roger looks familiar to you thats because he was at the open house in the series premiere.
As usual, Dean and Nora just barge in without any strategy or even hard hats.
The tunnel seems to go on forever and finally they see SOMEONE coming at them.
But once they yell, this mystery visitor vanishes into the dark, and the episode ends.
