No person alive has ever referred to their mom’s cousin that way. Or their own cousin. Or any cousin.

I have never heard this in real life but it does seem to happen in movies and TV a lot. Cousin Eddie, anyone? Cousin It? Cousin Oliver?

Also, nice to see Ellenor from The Practice in what was otherwise a dull episode.

Most of my cousins were old enough to be my parents, so I grew up calling them "Cousin Debbie" like you would say Aunt Debbie. More respectful than a child calling an adult by their first name.

Exactly. My seventeen year old DC calls his 38-year old cousin, cousin Lisa and cousin Horace.

He did get the ring stuck on his finger but I don't see the connection to that meaning he had feelings for Rebecca?

I just thought I remembered getting the feeling that he like Rebecca.

yes, he has always liked her. Remember when jack was in his drinking phase and Miguel said something to him about Rebecca and jack was kind of like whoa that's my wife you are talking about.

Alrighty, we are back.

I had my doubts about this episode. I was like, do I really need to see another Beth origin story (which is mean because Beth is arguably the best character on this series) but I did and so do you. Very satisfying.

The mystery of Kevin's future intensifies. I find Elijah to be an annoying dork, but dude brought it at the end.

I think Madison is a jerk for not joining Pearson Thanksgiving. Sorry, I do.

I teared up at Miguel and Rebecca's best friends declaration.

Sophie is BAAACKK.

^ agree with all that! Another good episode after the weak start to this season.

Now it makes sense about Kate and Sophie. I always v wondered what happened to that friendship.

My favorite was what Randall said to his girls about Beth. 💗💗💗

Missed it!! Details please! What did Randall say about Beth? What happened with Kate’s and Sophie’s friendship? In what context did they bring Sophie back?
Anything else important? Thank you!

So someone is good enough to get a ballet scholarship but can't do a pirouette? And had never heard the string thing

Here’s a full recap if you aren’t able to watch it yourself – but the recap does not do the emotions of the episode justice at all

Randall to daughters as she’s doing something for a student that her teacher never did for her- be present: “You’re going to forget a lot about these years. But look at your mother right now and remember this: Don’t you ever forget how incredible that woman is.”

Just telling someone to think of a string is NOT going to help them do a pirouette! It's like "oh, thanks, I never thought of that!"

Agree that someone would definitely be able to pirouette if the got a scholarship.

A little unsatisfying, but I hope it's just the beginning.

I like Elijah for Madison, very much. I do agree she should have sucked it up for the Pearson Thanksgiving though, given Rebecca's situation and the fact that it is very premature to insist on celebrating it with Elijah.

As much as I like the character, I had mixed feelings about Beth's storyline. 95% of people who aim for careers in the performing arts don't succeed, just the way that it is. Disappointing, yes, but I don't feel the teacher was some kind of a monster. You'd think as an adult she'd be much more understanding of the fact that she didn't have "it" and so objectively lost out to a better dancer for one show. ONE SHOW. She didn't have to give up based on one disappointment, she chose to and it was very immature.

OK but you’re thinking about it from an adult perspective, she was a teen who just lost her dad. World blown up from multiple perspectives. She needed someone and her mother was emotionally cold. Her teacher and she strivrd to be perfect for dismissed her with barely a conversation. From a teen perspective, even little things can be “earth shattering”… the combination of everything going on for her – it would’ve been a minor miracle had she persevered with no support from any of the adults in her life.

I think I saw the next show is March 8. Did anyone notice Beth’s outfit when she was welcoming her recruited students? Brown leather knee length pencil skirt with the same shade sweater. It was a nice look.

I thought Beth's storyline in this episode was manipulative and boring.
How are Miguel and Rebecca a match?
So, Kate and Sophie haven't talked forever but she has her number?

I completely get all of that, but my issue is her feeling the need to make that phone call as an adult.
