Okay, yes I know I’m a little late and another episode comes out tonight so I’m going to be very brief.

Honestly, that was such a messed up episode.

Also, I had this moment when they first stumbled upon the whole twin sister thing, where I thought – how easy would it be for her to pretend to be her sister to buy time for herself?

Then I shook it off.

I honestly thought that was just too messed up. I mean, I would totally write that happening.

Didn’t expect it to play out that she was trying to steal her life!

Oh, and I felt so bad for the fiancée. That moment in the car where he figured it out and lost his mind. It was so well played. I commend the actor for making that moment so realistically perfect. I think I would have totally flipped and freaked out too.

He tried so hard to play it cool and find a way out, then he lost it. I was like yeah, a normal human with no training for odd situations would just freak.

I loved that.

Too often regular people in TV shows are smooth operators in tense situations – which happens! Don’t get me wrong.

But in that moment, you saw the realization dawn on him that this wasn’t his bride-to-be and if this wasn’t her then…

And it crashed down on him that the woman he planned to spend his life was dead and he couldn’t hold it in.

Well done.

Now, as for the rest, I care very little for this as a police drama because it displays police doing whatever they want, which has plenty of issues.

What I do like about the show is how real people are.

Kemi is odd as hell, owns it, but also hides her own insecurities.

Nikki is a loving mother, who has been traumatized by everything that happened to her and her family to the point where every case becomes personal, every missing person is Keith. Which is why I believes she calls everyone ‘baby.’

Jay is an ass who never let himself heal or forgave himself for not finding his son or protecting his family.

Mike is a good man trying to the best he can all the time for the people he loves and those he serves, but life has handed him an odd hand to deal with.

They’re real and messy and make mistakes.

Kemi trying to help (is it C? I can’t remember) through dating and relationships was so wonderful. He needed a push but that push was too scary.

His moment at the end of the episode where he shows up in tears because he couldn’t do it, hit me too hard. It was so real for me, because I know that feeling.

You want it so badly, you want to fall in love, and go on a date with a wonderful person, but you can’t. You don’t know why. You just know the thought is suddenly the scariest thing in the world.

Most people have mocked or wondered why without caring about the answer. They think me weird.

Here, Kemi just hugged him. She told him it would be alright. That it wasn’t his fault. He just couldn’t do it today.

It was a beautiful moment between them.

I also loved that everyone appreciates what Kemi does for them. They listen even they don’t understand why they’re pouring things on themselves. They know she cares and that’s enough.

The whole spare key thing bugged me.

My parents split and my mom had a key to the home I shared with my dad. Like on her keychain, not just under a plant.

She did knock or text before just coming in, but I always thought it was right my mom continue to have a key to the home I lived in and so did my dad.

What if there’s an emergency?

I do believe a parent should have access to their children, provided they are a good parent, whenever they want.

However, I do believe boundaries are important. Like, Jay, come on. Knock.

Mike was very sweet and understood why Jay should still know where the key was. Mike made it clear he’s not their father and doesn’t want to be. He wants Jay to know that.

And Jay did the right thing by giving Mike the opportunity to set boundaries and limits for himself.

It was a good moment.

Human.

People trying to make the best of difficult situation for the people who matter most, Sydney and Keith.

At the end of the day, Nikki, Jay, and Mike are trying their best to do right by the kids involved.

I loved that Sydney was cool with her mom getting remarried. She just wanted her to be happy and Mike is a good guy. I love the lack of drama there.

It was a cool moment to show that Sydney understands Jay will always be her dad, but they’re not getting back together.

Very sweet.

As for Sydney.

I don’t think this is Keith at all.

He died. Sydney knows it and finally decided to tell her parents the truth.

The moment in the bedroom at the end was perfect. Jay’s promise that she’ll feel better if she tells them the truth was so earnest and sweet. He talked to her like she was adult, validating her feelings. His promise to not get mad even landed as sincere because his concern in that moment outweighed whatever he thought she was going to say.

Nikki’s wasn’t believable at all.

Then Sydney spoke her truth… and the episode ended!

WTF!

I so wished it would have cut to their faces or something so we could get a hint of what they might be feeling going into this week!

Ugh!

Anyway. Tonight we shall see.

Who’s ready?

Not me.

I know I said this would be short but the world got away from me!
