Ramblings from last night:
Mary remains a shining beacon this season. What a great showing for her.
Second part of the reunion was a little weird. I'm over Meredith threatening to and/or storming off like a wimp who can't handle conflict. Especially when she is in the wrong. Being the loudest doesn't also make you right. (This also goes for Lisa most times.) Monica did say you did it at first, and at the time when Angie and Monica were friends, of course she is going to believe her friend. And you (Meredith) did go on about the rumors and nastiness about the huzzzband, so whether you specifically said what the rumor was, you were bringing them up on camera. She's too smart to be this stupid and think she can go scot free on this, even if she was not the one originally spreading the rumor or originally bringing it up on camera. Which Angie has acknowledged several times. What Meredith seems to fail to realize is that Angie and Shawn are trying to get her to understand why they would think at the time that Meredith was behind it, and therefore, why Shawn would say that on the Podcast. But she's just not getting it. It's annoying.
Bronwyn is having a hit/miss reunion. I still think she had a stellar first season, and I think she learned a LOT in her first outing and will adjust accordingly to in season 2. And I swear this is not my stan goggles, but I think these women are being willfully obtuse about her story regarding Todd and his DMs. She never said he fucked another women or took it to that level. She actually made it abundantly clear that it was about conversations she felt he took too far. Her explaining her POV (her history of feeling less than, etc.) makes perfect sense and you'd think these women would be a bit more understanding of that. I also, frankly, don't give a shit, if it feels like she's changed her story 6x about it or the jewelry either, and someone like Heather holding her feet to the fire about that when she spent an entire season lying about who or what gave her a black eye, she can get the fuck out of here with that nonsense.
BUT -- I don't think it was smart for Todd to go on having not watched half of what Andy & co. were going to talk to him about. Obviously Bronwyn told him about the conversation, but he did seem blindsided by a few things (particularly that it was Gwen who saw the DMs and alerted her mom about it in the first place?) He seemed genuinely hurt to hear that bit of info. I've seen so many conflicting opinions about them. "Bronwyn lies about it all." "Todd is forcing her to dumb down the story because she said too much." I think Bron got caught up in the whirlwind of a first season, but she's clearly extremely smart, got a sharp tongue, and can hold her own, so I look forward to her next season. And I can totally see Todd going the Robert Sr. route and saying "Have you fun on this show baby, but I'm out.!"
John is a punk ddd. "Watch your tone." Girl, his tone was not tone-ing. It sounded like he was afraid to speak up when he said it too. I can't. Seth and Justin are punks too.
