Depart. Leave. Move. Go.
Interesting word choices for Margaret's hallucinatory crossword puzzle.

Ethan came to check on Margaret, which is nice. Ethan is going to help her not remember, which is... wtf is that? Well, shit, was everyone else right and Ethan is Hugh's helper? What motivation would he have? I still don't buy it.

I love everyone giving Trent the evil eye. Literally coming out into the lobby just to give him a dirty look.

The sound of nerds bonding. That's nice that someone gets to stay with Zeke.

Fuck. The balls on him. Hugh called up to get Gabi's future location.
That gave me chills to hear Hugh's voice, and Bella's response was amazing. Brave kid.

Dhan. We do not snort-laugh at the interviewees during interviews.
Yeah, she can help you release that negative energy.

So we're thinking Olivia Zhao who has no paper trail, a fake government ID, and a kid, is an informant?

Stop creeping me out, Zach.
He's in the way? Who's in the way? Trent? It's time for killing, obviously. But who did Hugh just call to do his killing? (Or not killing? Is it something maniacal and weird? Will he expose Trent as a milkshake duck?)

Getting "behind you" on a text freaks me out.

It is creepy as hell that Teen Gabi is right about Hugh getting in, and doesn't know he's already been in.

Shit. Where is Margaret. Did she go somewhere or was she taken?

So Olivia's "friend" sent her threatening notes so she would get scared and need him. What a fucking douche.

"Press conferences are kind of my thing."
Competing press conferences. Seems like a great idea.

Hugh is a dick. Bitch, you are only taunting Zeke because you believe he can't get out to get you.
"Why the hell are you here?" "For that." OMG!
OMG it is some messed up weird maniacal shit! Hugh came there to make Zeke take a step outside. And he did!
"I'm going to fix you. I'm going to fix all of you. It's the only way Gabrielle will be free."
I haven't shut my mouth yet. Hugh, you absolute freak. Oh. My. God.

Wow. Okay. That's a lot. Olivia is Alice and she has schizophrenia, and Cain is a delusion.
It's occurred to me that I have a moderate amount of faith in this show to approach this psychosis not as a condemnation but as a sad thing that can happen. That better continue.

Dhan and Taylor, back at Dhan's place. Ethan is still there. Yeah, I have concerns, Ethan. Did you do something? Even if you didn't do a Hugh thing, did you do an unethical thing?
Ethan helped divert her attention to a happier memory. Was that the birthday party video she was watching in the car?
Margaret just walked away.

The tiniest nerd staying with Zeke is adorable, assessing his wounds. Poor kid that she's had to learn that.

They think Margaret is going to kill herself.

Margaret gave the file to Hugh.

Why can Gabi find everyone but her son, she asks. Margaret met Hugh, Margaret knows by Gabi's own admittance that Hugh helped solve cases, Margaret is desperate. And Hugh is Hugh. He can appear charming and erudite, and extremely stable. (I said appear. He puts on a great show.) And he just saved someone before M&A could.

These flashbacks with Bella are brutal now that we know he really was there terrorizing her.

In most shows people just start digging in to the trash can. I love that Gabi pushed it over and kicked things. That feels real. Who would want to touch things in a public trash can?

Oh, Margaret.

"And Lacey, if you could..." Oh my god. Oh, Gabi.

"You know what? Go to hell."
"I'll see you there."
OUCH. Ouch, Trent. He is so deeply, suppressing his emotions, angry.

Christian Evans, Hugh's brother. I get a creepy vibe from him. "Nice to finally meet you, Gabi"? Is it? Is it nice to meet the person your brother kidnapped when she was a child? Why is that nice, you freaky creep?

They're very similar, Christian and Hugh. Word choices, rhythm and intonation. It's weird and it's creeping me out.

Sir was in Bella's room! Jesus. He's a fucking monster.

Lacey is clever. She does know exactly how to manipulate Sir.

There is a house near them that Hugh once lived in and no one has ever before found that out? That doesn't ring true unless there are no existing records of them ever living there. We all know Zeke has long since found all the information there is to find.

Hugh came to talk about the case. That's his weakness.

It's the older daughter.
Viola said the 6 months bed rest separated her from her family. She said she missed so many things of the eldest daughter.

And there we go. Baby's back, Raya and her friend Sean did it.

Oh, Raya. She was going to find Reign a nice family. She just wanted her pain to end. Oh, sweetheart. This was a good reminder of how young teenagers are.

Hugh doesn't like his creepy brother. Good. Maybe he's not such a creepy brother.

Is this going to be the entire season? I can see it happening that way. Hugh keeping Lacey, meeting Gabi to solve crimes. Manipulating the relationship he wants.

What a cutie the baby playing Reign is.

"You don't need to tell me how not to be a monster."
Okay, fine, I like Trent.
