On the one hand, I'm glad that they didn't drag out the Liz/Dime Eyes plot. On the other hand, it's annoying when people act like a supportive friend because their ulterior motive is to sleep with you.

I find it difficult to believe that Jimmy is the fourth hottest guy that Gabi has ever slept with.

I was surprised that Summer forgave Alice so quickly. Her song was basic but danceable aka it was perfect.

My partner recently had Skittles for the first time in years and he concurs with Liz about them not being good!

I like this show but it's wild that Alice can have dinner and be laughing with the guy that killed her mom. I'd be in jail for murdering him if it were me.

Also, I really hate cheating plotlines with couples that are solid. It's lazy, cliche, and so boring. Think of better issues they can argue about.

I haven’t watched tonight’s episode… But going off of last week, I don’t mind that she forgave him, and I like the idea of this particular arc… but the whole thing is falling really flat for me and I can’t quite put my finger on it. We really needed to see that first big interaction with Brian. And this might’ve changed in tonight’s episode, but I really do feel like we need to hear about that night from his side? Narratively we need to understand that night better, especially if the show is trying to not villainize him? Like, there’s a big difference between a repeat offender with no remorse, versus somebody who just made a devastatingly stupid decision.

I feel like it falls flat for me because none of it was really earned. Brian forgave him because the dude is sad and feels bad? He SHOULD feel awful, he did something he can never undo and hurt literally everyone that loved Tia.

I get Alice having the arc and of needing to move on from Tia's death but forgiving him for herself is one thing and continuing to chill with this guy is completely another. Again, it doesn't feel earned by Brett's character whatsoever.

ITA - there's a huge difference between "my mom would have wanted me to stop hating you, forgive you, and move forward with my life" and "let's hang out and giggle together!"

DAMON WAYANS JR DAMON WAYANS JR AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I ALWAYS FANGIRL WHENEVER HE RANDOMLY POPS UP IN THINGS I WATCH

When he showed up a few weeks ago, I knew they wouldn't waste him on a one episode guest star role so I was glad to see him again this week!

[iamkenough]

damn what he showed up already? I legit forgot LMAO

[silverstarry]

I just checked IMDB and apparently he first showed up in episode 4! I thought it was slightly more recent.

No matter if I have an otp on a show, if Damon appears and hits on one half of that otp, I switch to Damon 🤣

The writing doesn’t feel as tight as the first season. I was surprised that Alice and Brett are acting like friends now what.

I’m glad Derek called Liz out.

They need to tone down the overly quirky dialogue and flirting between Gabi and Other Derek. Just let them act and talk to each other like normal.
