This is approaching CinemaSins criticism. They're referring to getting and feeling older because of being in the marriage a long time and raising children together.

I thought it was really sweet. 

Y'all understood Smitty & Martin's "thin, gray" hair differently from me. 

Martin was talking about where he hoped to be 10 years from now:  "I see myself still in love with my handsome, sexy, kind, generous husband.  And we get back to sharing our first love -- politics! -- and our son is chess champion!  Our daughter, who modeled a bit, has decided on something else she loves just as much, but way SAFER!  And we're older, our hair is grayer and thinner, but we still love each even more than that day I lent you a pen and you wrote your phone number on that card. We dream big."  (That's the way I heard it.)  

And then Smitty looked at him all starry-eyed, because he was enraptured by Martin's idea of the future.  (But I wasn't sure "Gran" would let Sweet Baby move back into the brownstone, because she loves tucking him in at night.)

I suspect that Jacob's brother will be put into their orbit. Now who he'll end up with remains to be seen. Online chatter wants him for Kat

Heck people want Jacob for Kat, I don't take them seriously cause they rag on Eva about Tomas and Leslie about Ted, but want Kat to steal her cousin's husband lmao

Unpopular opinion, but I am not seeing the amazing acting some of y'all are getting from the actor playing Donnell. He is alright, but he comes across as a novice to me, but not in a bad way like AA. He also keeps doing this thing with his tongue where he presses it against or glides it across the inside of his bottom lip. I noticed him to it several times the first day and he continues doing it. It's giving Sean Freeman sighing vibes. 

 

I was really confused by a lot of the hyperbolic praise for him too. He’s perfectly serviceable which is fine.

Jacob and Andre in a scene together is literally the Spiderman meme.

Pamela has arrived with the accent no one in the world speaks with.

Son in law meet father in law

I'm wondering if her various voices/accents is a way for Pamela to pretend/be someone she isn't?   Or maybe Cady is just trying out things because she doesn't want to play another Dixie or Rosanna

It’s just the most random Acting choice. I’d love to know the reasoning behind it.

• Pamela is back! Yay! Now we can have a super gossipy chat going on! I love it. A nice kiki.
• Uh-oh, the child bride is even more bratty this morning than she was yesterday. Ugh. Desperation stinks.
• Eva really thinks Jan and Mona will help her when it comes to Dana? I do not think so!
• Tomas, duck for cover! This one could get very, very messy! And not him truly thinking about what Dana is saying. I mean, yes, he should be with Eva over that other snotty bitch, but that should not come from the psychotic Dana.
• Not step-daddy Andre getting the second degree from step-son-in-law Jacob. Whew. That was a whiplash of that.
• Hayley is obsessed with Bill's non-existent E.D., when she refuses to see she is not the woman that he wants. Accept it. It was bound to happen.
• Good on Mona for standing her ground where Dana is concerned and siding with Nicole. But Ms Jan has other ideas.
• I really wish Jacob would listen to his WIFE, whom he claims to love, because it is very evident she does not want to keep this baby.
• Jan is not taking Dana's nonsense. There was some power and intent behind that "sit down". I do wonder if Dana's emotions are real or if it is some kind of act to ensure Jan is back in her life.
• Oops... now it is time for Tomas to tell off Hayley for her own deceit.
• Take the out, Andre. Take it and go get your true love: Ashley!

Notes:

• So nice to have a breakdown written by a competent, talented writer. Made all the difference in the world for today's episode.
• Nice use of "E.D." for erectile dysfunction. I see enough of those commercials all of the time. Let's talk about it!
• The music in Orphey Gene's sounds so familiar today! Sounds like the instrumental to "Rescue Me" by Fontella Bass.

Next week is gonna be FIRE !!!!!!

I actually thought the accent was turned down or wasn't as pronounced as it was initially
