Because she was a daddy's girl and the closest to him. Randall was closer to their mother. And poor Kevin was nobody's favorite. You can cry in my arms Kevin!



The scene with those ladies watching him sledgehammer!!!

Because your curling iron puts out heat -- that's how it works. An alarm clock puts out minimal heat. A lamp can put out enough heat to start a fire depending on the type of lightbulb -- when I was in college, people would put their clothes over their halogen lamp and occasionally start small fires.

I love the show, but the stainless steel appliances bug me.

Did anyone find it interesting that the movie Randall saw was "Titanic"?
Which got me thinking... Jack! Necklace!

This is what my DH speculated before the fire, when Jack put the note on Kevin's door.


But then why all the emphasis (from Kate) about how it's HER fault?

Maybe it was Kate who didn’t realize Kevin wasn’t home. Jack and the family escaped but Kate starts screaming about Kevin not realizing he was at Sophie’s. Jack runs back into the house because of that.

Or she feels guilty because her dog really should have started barking at the first spark to alert the family

Because her mom was supposed to pick up batteries at the mall, but because Kate left the store and Mom had to find her, mom forgot the batteries. That’s my theory.

Me too! Very sweet of jack to clean up and turn it off, but ... maybe unplug it too next time!!


It was bittersweet to think of him lovingly sweeping and loading the dishwasher on his last night. (And all for nothing, because there would be nothing left anyway.)


I thought the same thing. All that choreplay for nothing, waahhhhh

Hmmm. Maybe they are not him. Maybe they are from the burned house.
Or as people said, that he got out but the smoke inhalation got him too badly.
