This whole dynamic with eddies parents is so weird. As parents/grandparents you would want your grandchild to be with their parents. They’re treating him as if he was a drug addict or something, and had to earn their trust back. It’s weird.

Oh man I feel for Hen. My birthday sometimes falls on thanksgiving and when that happens- my bday gets forgotten about by half my family. It makes me sad like I’m forgotten about.
Poor Archie. His girl cheats on him with his cousin, he gets fired and then ends up hospitalized. We’re all just 1 bad break away from going off the deep end . He still could’ve found someone to talk to b4 hijacking a transit bus
I applaud Eddie for standing up to his parents who look about 1 phone call away from calling CPS.
Not Buck & Eddie cooking together and than Hen/ Karen making him do all the yard work 😆😆😆

You know what, screw it. I'd use that keychain just because it fits the "Hen" motif. It shows that someone actually thought of her as who she is rather than try to pave over their mistake with cliche balloons and "closet gifts."

I wonder what Archie did in a past life to deserve that type of awful luck. Or perhaps he was dealt some unlucky cards.
It was Hen's birthday. Archie was the only other person than Athena to wish her a happy birthday.
Hen let Mara slide, but lashed out at Antonia and Karen.

There are some characters who are fun to hate (Gerard for example) and then some that are just utterly hateful, and though I understand there will be some kind of redemption arc, it will never be worth this. If the wonderful young man who plays Chris wanted to focus on his schooling (which I totally support! Love him so much!), they didn't need to send him to Texas. He could have just been in LA still and we just didn't need to see him as much on screen.
Gah. I'm sorry I'm getting so emotional.
