I loved the latest episode, and I'm glad that Ben finally figured out that Grace had move on after 5 years. I thought it was stupid that he wouldn't even think to ask. After all it has been 5 years. We finally learn Grace's boyfriend name. It's Danny. Does anyone think that Olive was sneaking out to see Danny? I think she was going to visit Danny. I do not think she was sneaking out to see her boyfriend like she told her parents. Her mother liked her boyfriend so there wasn't a real reason to sneak out.

I not sure if the Fed Vance is a good guy, or a bad guy. But right now I don't trust him at all. I was glad that Jared tore up that card he gave him. I was glad that he didn't betray Mick .

There was one thing that I was confused about, who killed Kelly? and why? Did her husband kill her, or the maid? Was Kelly's husband fooling around with the maid?

Ben figured out Grace had moved on last week. Olive essentially told him at the storage unit. She did have a reason to sneak out to see her boyfriend - he was Cal's best friend and she didn't want him to find out yet, and Ben doesn't know. Also he wants them to stay home because they're all potentially in danger.

I think he's a guy trying to do his job, but that works against the Stones most of the time.

I was totally expecting that Jared would betray Mick. My issue is, does it still count as a betrayal if he doesn't tell her about it?

The housekeeper killed Kelly. It had very little to do with the plane outside of the fact that the housekeeper resented her coming back because she had decided the husband, who she was not in a relationship with, was hers, and she didn't like Kelly treating her like the housekeeper, even though that's what she was.

Another great ep! I'm so happy to be enjoying the eps and liking the show. Usually around this time, I can tell if I'm on-board a show or not.

I'm also glad that Ben finally knows because I don't see them drag it out forever. Was it a deliberate move on the part of the writers to call Grace's beau Lindsey so we'd think it was a woman as the man's name is Danny?

I think Vance isn't a good guy or at least that's what he's looking to be. So Kelly was a stowaway and the NSA is keeping her body? But why? Please, I don't want this to be a silly government cover up.

I still don't care for Jared but it was nice to see him do something good for Michaela. If he helps her without the bosses knowing, then that's fine.

I love the Olive & Cal scenes, I wanted that.

That scene of the twins talking was heartbreaking with Cal saying "“How are we even twins anymore? Look at me.”

It's great to see Saanvi for a bit, she's got some leads which eventually helped Michaela & Ben know more about Kelly as they are investigating her. I hope Michaela isn't caught since she's doing this on her own right? With hopefully Jared's blessing & back-up soon.

I thought they were going to show us what else happened during turbulence at the flight, based on the ep title, but we only saw that Kelly was seated across the Stones and talking to someone on the phone. So both Michaela & Ben recognized her at the crime scene.

Also, I picked this up online but they are randomly showing 828, the flight number, in the eps. For this recent ep, it was shown as 8:28 at a clock while Ben & Michaela were running. This is very LOST levels.

I didn't even notice this until someone pointed it out and now I want to re-watch the 1st two eps.
