Loved the subtly of her deciding to make Daniel a cake, finding her eggs to be broken, and her fridge to be dirty, going about daily life not knowing what Daniel was doing for the first time in 2 decades. The co-dependent nature of her relationship with Daniel is seen so clearly in the simplest of things. Her breaking Trey's eggs was damn near poetic and was glad to see her find some of her own justice.

most passive aggressive white thing Ive seen.

Ok, fair, lmao!

This is one of the reasons I love this show so much. They tell such a powerful story through the simplest of details.

The egg breaking scene is an almost exact recreation of a scene in the book We Need To Talk About Kevin.

We Need To Talk About Kevin
I thought it was the mother's house that got egged.
1
In the book the main character is shopping at the supermarket and sees one of the victims mothers, she doesn't think she saw her but when she gets home all her eggs are broken and she observes the mother did see her.
Nothing to do with her house getting egged, that is nothing at all like the scenario in Rectify.
2
thank you. I only saw the movie. In the movie it begins with her house being egged. The book scene you describe sounds quite similar to the Rectify egg incident.

Meechum out of no where!

Holy crap I didn't recognize him.

Was he in an earlier season?
Glad to see the actor is getting work! :) Have seen Amantha all over the place too.

I just loved Janet taking the opportunity that was given to her to exact just a tiny bit of revenge on Trey the asshole. I hope she actually got away with it cleanly like it appeared that she did.
Just another mark of how great this show is that I was so nervous that Trey was gonna catch up & see who it was that sent that lying, dickbag prick a message broke his eggs. Crazy that I was rooting as hard for an old woman to get out of a grocery store quickly as I have rooted for Jesse to finally figure out just what a compete monster Walt was.
This series packs as much of a mental/emotional punch into mundane everyday things as most action movies I've watched. I'll definitely miss it when it's gone.

Most shows would've had some lame verbal confrontation that we've all seen a million times. I love her little act of revenge, which is more true to life and a sliver of the type of harassment she and her family probably had to endure in Paulie for years.

Amen. And I didn't even think about it in the context of what they've had to have gone through all those years. Damn if I don't love the layers of this show.

It's such a shame that I'm the only 'chicken' in here! This show is just so good!

its the bomb Dmitri.

Shit far, Billy!

Man, I feel so bad for Teddy.

Observations: Sometimes seemed like a slasher/horror film, with Amantha broke down in the dark, Jared alone in the rain, and Satie strangely playing in the background with Janet and Teddy.
Also some odd musical choices. Beginning and end like an 80s flick.
Glad that the show is still taking chances and trying new things as it winds down.

Does anyone else think Jared will be the one who will somehow stumble upon the truth about that night when Hannah was raped and killed?

A very very moving episode for me. When Janet said that she has to visit Daniel just to make sure he is real made me realize that she has been separated from her son basically for all of his life that he seems so faint to her now. It's such a great moment.
5
I could watch Tawny and Teddy for hours.

His poor mom. =( makes me think of all the martyrs and even villians of the world and their suffering mothers. For every person on death row there is a mother suffering, if she is alive, and death row is Psychological torture on her over almost 2 decades.
Another reason I hadn't properly considered for abolishing the death penalty.

I thought this episode was quite boring. Not much happened. It still had good moments and was well done, but one of the weakest episodes of the whole show for me... After probably the best in episode 1

Why in the hell is Sundance showing clips of a scene about to play in 5 minutes during every commercial break. Just when I thought showing a preview of the show you're about to watch was the most annoying things a network could do...

I realised this morning the significance of the episode name. Yolk.

What was your realization?

Ted Jr., unlikely voice of reason.
2
Teddy has always been a good voice of reason.

If you look at the photos for the next episode(s) you will see jerod hunched over a computer almost as if he is snooping info...and I remember jerod listened to daniels Walkman taped confession (coerced). I think Jerod is going to put 2 &2 together, stumbling on the hole in the case and it will be too little too late and something tragic and horrific will happen to this quiet dark horse who seemed to only be background noise in this exceptional series. I believe senator foullkes is the murderer and at the very least, he is one of hannahs rapists. He and trey were there among others. George killed himself because he was instructed to lie, blackmailed in the trial by foulkes and was so afraid of foulkes that he killed himself. the rest of the specifics aren't clear but this is my theory

The conversation between Teddy and Tawny was so forced and awkward because it was too polite and cautious. In comparison the conversation between Amantha and 'im packing' guy was awkward yet natural because it was honest and kinda rude on Amanthas part. I really like this guy though, Billy was his name I think?
I watched the first episode when it first came out but I'm just catching up on the others now. There's something so compelling about all the quietness of this show.

I am just surprised how noone mentioned the "boiled peanuts" when Janet was making her exit

That was probably the most realistic family fridge I've ever seen in a tv show.
Yeah, I was surprised they even included the condiment stains on the inside of the door of the fridge.
When she started pulling out all the random jars from the door I was thinking "Shit, I should check the use by date on, well, everything."
