Just caught up on the most recent pair of episodes!

This Lenny story is so sad. For her to voice aloud that she fears she might not see 2025... it's heartbreaking. There's a real sense of tension to the entire canvas as word spreads about her dire condition and the stark reality sets in. I do enjoy how it's rallying the family around her. Not that the Saunders clan isn't usually close, but there's a deepened sense of togetherness right now. Tanner seems to need Presley's support but doesn't want to speak up fully, maybe because of everything going on, so they're caught in this weird stasis, too.

I'm both surprised and not surprised that Martha ended things with Samuel. I don't think it was especially logical, but it makes sense that she feels like her life is too much of a mess to have space for a healthy relationship at the moment. You can tell she's so torn up about how to handle the Murray issue with regards to SJ that she's putting up walls. And of course, we have Jes swooping into town and not being subtle about her intentions toward Samuel at all. I like how this brings more of the Guptas' history into town in an organic way. Samuel might be ripe for the picking now, and of course, I expect Martha to regret her decision at some point. What a complicated mess!

I was glad to see Shauna reaching out to Martha, although it didn't last long enough to grant either of them much perspective or comfort. I'm really curious as to what Shauna's plan is going to be. The clock is ticking, and this becomes less and less something she can hide. It was also nice seeing Max and Aaliyah connect, as two people who haven't really interacted before. I have some curiosity about what you have planned for Aaliyah next, since she's kind of been taken to a rock bottom and now has to rebuild.

Good episodes!

I'm glad you were able to! I know how life can be hectic at times.

This Lenny story is so sad. For her to voice aloud that she fears she might not see 2025... it's heartbreaking. There's a real sense of tension to the entire canvas as word spreads about her dire condition and the stark reality sets in. I do enjoy how it's rallying the family around her.

With Lenny usually being the headstrong one, I wanted this storyline to highlight how deep down afraid she is of possibly dying and how this is making the Saunders all rally together. As you said, they've always been close, but this is making them closer. And Tanner is pretty much hurting since she is afraid for her twin sister and wants to be strong not only for her but for the family too. Though, like you said, she and Presley are stuck in some weird limbo. 

I'm both surprised and not surprised that Martha ended things with Samuel. I don't think it was especially logical, but it makes sense that she feels like her life is too much of a mess to have space for a healthy relationship at the moment.

but for now I think Martha is trying to put herself and SJ first by not being involved in an aromantic relationship. She is trying to make it all less complicated, but who says in four months' time she wouldn't regret it, although like you said about Jes? And the Guptas will definitely be in a big story in 2025. 

I was glad to see Shauna reaching out to Martha, although it didn't last long enough to grant either of them much perspective or comfort. I'm really curious as to what Shauna's plan is going to be. The clock is ticking, and this becomes less and less something she can hide. It was also nice seeing Max and Aaliyah connect, as two people who haven't really interacted before. I have some curiosity about what you have planned for Aaliyah next, since she's kind of been taken to a rock bottom and now has to rebuild.

To be honest, Shauna isn't sure what to do, but we'll get some of a plan in next week's episode, and as you say, time is winding down, but let's just say for now she will be staying put where she is. I'm glad you liked Max and Aaliyah. I like sometimes mixing up characters who don't normally interact with one another. And next year we'll see Aaliyah involved in two stories as she will be rebuilding herself.

Good episodes!

Thank you so much for catching up on the episodes; I truly appreciate it.
