Laura is such an inconsequential side character, you just know that was on purpose so Leslie could get away with it. I don’t think we’ll ever be seeing #justiceforlaura, lol

She insulted her clothes after bc she already did not get a good vibe from her for good reason. Was it rude? Yes, but she saw right through her

There's nothing wrong with liking Kat but don't make excuses for her elitism. Kat doesn't like broke people unless they present in a aspirational mold or they bow down to the Duprees. And bringing up Iziah doesn't count because if Iziah wasn't Jacob's brother, Kat wouldn't tolerate him.

It was a real mistake not to let Bill run against Martin in this primary. That could've been a great story, or introducing a young rival for Martin (or rival staffer) who Kat or Eva could've gotten involved with. I'd say you could at the very least introduce an opponent but there is no way the BTG audience is going to get behind what would be a GOP-coded candidate lol. Maybe thread the needle and say someone jumped in as an independent?

At first I shrugged my shoulders at this Bill vs Martin idea. But y'all were right. The concept of somebody like Bill amassing more power is a scary thought. He's already a freaking menace as a lawyer. And he's not even the district attorney. Government Bill would be too much.

-- The Kat and Eva scenes were wonderful. Great dialogue, great performances by both Colby and Ambyr.

-- I do think the script played HEAVILY into Kat being held accountable much more than Eva. That bothered me.

-- Leslie with her rolled-up wad of money was cartoonish. They can give her a gonzo personality without resorting to something so ridiculous.

-- Tomas an Chelsea sharing multiple scenes. SPARE ME.

-- Lord knows I'm no apologist for Tomas, but having Chelsea be the one to push back on him as she did was a choice. She still doesn't come off to me as a mature, engaged woman who understands life.

-- Oh, Dani, I'm so glad you realize how much you love Andre after he screws you. She's embarrassing, and I want to shake her.

Eva does like Kat and subtly wants her validation, so while I can see the tension remaining I think it will still be on Kat's part more.

Tomas coming up with a proposal at such a trying time is totally ridiculous not to mention jarring because during the tornado he showed little concerned for Kat.

Timon Kyle Durrett executes Bill's expressions of disdain for Andre in a way that few male actors tend to achieve.

I am someone who enjoys both Kat and Eva and I can see they both have their flaws. However, Kat has been an elitist princess from the beginning. While she was right about Eva, her comments about her clothes and her status were real dings at that shiny polished exterior Kat likes to put on. Ironically, Anita is always talking about her early life struggles and not having a silver spoon in her mouth. And as someone else mentioned, Eva isn't the only person Kat has reserved this class judgement for.

While Eva following through with her mother's scheme was wrong, when the dust settled, all she wanted was to have a dad and a family. Kat was able to come to terms with her cheating father, but can't sympathize with a woman who had to live her whole life without one while she had that same father present her whole life. Eva is no saint, but from my perspective she has been more willing to forge a connection with Kat than vice versa.

I also wish there would have been more of a health complication for Kat and why she would not want to go through with the surgery. Sure, she doesn't owe Eva her liver, but it would have made for more drama if people were more divided on where they stood especially if such a surgery could present complications for Kat.

Also, count me as someone who has come around to the idea of Bill and Martin facing off in these elections.

The Tomas character is just comedic relief at this point. That's what I am telling myself at least.
