I finally got around to watching this last night and I actually really liked this week's episode. Stuff happened, the relationships between the characters actually led to some new stuff, new experiences, etc.

I rewatched a few scenes while channel surfing. Rollergirl sure is a master manipulator. And it felt like they were making a statement about her physicality with the tackle in the front yard.

No real statements about tonight's episode (admittedly I fell asleep a few times), but my husband and I watch this show with closed captioning because it's so quiet with random loud parts and it annoys us (get off my lawn). I legit lol'ed when the detective was trying to find the nurse at the clinic and the closed captioning described one of the unsavory patients as "Oxy mom."
To the book readers: is the show still staying fairly close to the book story line? Did Camille have a fling with Richard in the book? Or also the motel room with John Keene? Seems weird for Camille to be with Richard and then with young John Keene as part of the story line. But this is tv.
I was anticipating the Munchausen stuff but I still don't know if I think Adora acted alone. Not saying the helper has to be a man but I feel like the physical task of killing and then manipulating the bodies in any kind of way and covering your tracks may be more than one person could do in an efficient manner.

Now THAT was an episode. When the plot moves, and things actually happen, the weirdness works SO MUCH better. It's when they dwell on the weirdness and hit you over the head with it, that it all feels so fake and stagnant. But when it's interwoven with plot, man, it's so much more effective. If only this show would have been five episodes instead of eight. At least they're ending on a high note, it seems.
This episode was well done.
As mentioned, the series should have been half as long.
One issue I have with the mother going after Amma is that there is not a hint at all in the other episodes that Amma is sickly or has ever had any health issues. All we see her doing is skating all over the place. Maybe such hints would make the problem too obvious.
I predict that her father is going to save Amma.

Wrong or not, that scene with John Keene was hot. Physically and mentally.
I predict the father is in on it.OldArmy71 said:

there are scenes where Amma definitely seems sickly and lethargic. the images of the white sick gown and all.
maybe
anyone catch the big name change when Camille parked at the square from Queasy to English or something like that?
i was hoping John would ask who cut the names on her back. maybe Adora cut her daughter and blamed her?
the hotel scene was gripping. the "you're just a drunk *****" was harsh, but can you really disagree? the detectives fault for falling for a crazy chick.

Also did you guys catch the mirror early on the episode? When Camile closes the door on her mother trying to "help"?
Also, why is Jackie constantly in a silk muu muu?
I get he was angry, but all he knows is that her sister died. Not that she had a train run on her or any of the cutting.
Glad I started watching this one. Has been an entertaining show.
It's the fbi working with the aliens. Camille is the secret code to the Death Star's weaknesses. Vader will appear in last episode. Camille is now pregnant with the next Jedi. Case closed.
I hope I did not offend anybody with this post. If I did, please come see me at my address in my profile so we can talk.
Yes, I agree. It is certainly possible that Adora has manipulated him, too, and he is the muscle in the operation.
Whether he is an active participant or not, he knows what Adora is doing. I think he has now had enough and is going to draw the line at killing another of their children.

Enjoyed last night's episode, though I do wish they'd have done something to tease Adora medicating them to make them sick and then "heal" them a lot earlier than 5 seconds before they reveal that plot-line. So now the race is on, to clear the young kid's name, to save Amma, and figure out what all happened to the rest of the kids. Should be a fun finale.
So far, it's following pretty closely (except for the Calhoun day episode). Both things that you asked about (Richard and John) happened in the book and I'd definitely say I had a similar reaction.pinkdog said:

I think it works in the story. The cop is the only other outsider there in town, so she shares that connection and she's vulnerable so they hook up....but she can't let him see her fully for what she is.
With the kid (18), they've both experienced the same kind of trauma of losing a sibling and nobody around you understanding what that meant to you, and you get lost in the shuffle while others try to become the "star" of the story like Adora or the cheerleader, etc. You turn to self-loathing and destructive tendencies.
So the kid helps Camille understand that she can accept the touch of a man(or 18 year old kid) who understands what that's like.
I'm also assuming Camille is supposed to be like 28-30, which while still is a large discrepancy, isn't the craziest thing in the world.

the detective went all Miggs from Silence of the Lambs
For anyone that wants a true-life, disturbing look at an example of Munchausen by Proxy check out the HBO documentary "Mommy Dead and Dearest". Scary, insane stuff.
Looking forward to the finale!

I think any tease at all of her medicating them would have given it away. Instead, what they did set up well in that regard was her sick and twisted obsession to be needed by her children (and others). It didn't really come out of left field at all to me because we know how weird she's been in terms of raising her kids, her dislike of the daughter that rejected her, etc.Bunk Moreland said:

He'd be smart to turn her in... After Amma's gone, dead or college, he's the only one at the house left to mother/poison.OldArmy71 said:

Yep, I saw that name change on the building too. Didn't know if that was intentional or what the significance of it was.
That guy was the lead suspect, but the Sheriff didn't know if he was of age? Ok.
This docu was so messed up.
So everyone here is all in on the mom killing the other girls too? When the wife and I were talking over it we both think it's Amma, jealous that her mom treated the other girls the way that she wishes she would treat her instead of the way she does.

I think Adora killed Miriam obviously(was that her name?)
I think someone else killed the other girls. Most likely Amma, or possibly...**** I dunno. The nutty friend who wears night gowns all over town?Though I highly doubt it's her. There's not much else to go off of at this point considering they found evidence on their property and everything leads back that way or that someone placed it there to frame them.
I guess step-dad is still in play but I really don't see it, especially with the scene of him putting his headphones on almost ashamed that he knows what Adora was going to go do to Amma, and flashbacks of him dancing with her while they listened to the song.
Tarrant County is actually one of the leaders in these cases per capita (Nationwide). So much so the DA's office has a special prosecutor assigned specifically to it. We see it all the time, It is way more prevalent than you would believe.
any other slight conspiracy theorists wonder if molly tibbits is connected to this show?
Does this get any better?
Episode 3 and I can hardly stand the relationship with the Mom. The younger sister is nearly as bad.

I missed why John Keane had bite marks on his arm
Also, I still trying to understand the significance of Keans cheerleader girlfriend
Bitten off ear? Never had sex with John?
