Where would we be without Marilyn!

Fangirl49 · 04-22-2019, 12:52 PM

I always look out for my fam.

Lauren Helen Graham · 04-23-2019, 01:08 PM

That's awesome

Kaplan... Do you think that she might be mentioned again in the flashback episode?

Miranda · 04-24-2019, 07:37 AM

aw Marilyn!

I hope she will be mentioned. but I think it is really going to be focused on Katarina and Red.

Lauren Helen Graham · 04-24-2019, 12:38 PM

And still she was around back at that time I guess...

There must be something. They don't need to show her but please at least mention her so we know that what we saw in her flashbacks was true.

Miranda · 04-25-2019, 05:35 AM

Just a mention of her would be fine as well.

I really think she would around that time. or it would have to be the time before Liz was born that they are going to show us in the flashback episode and we know that Kaplan an Katarina didn't know each other before Liz was born. At least I think they didn't know each other before that.

Fangirl49 · 04-25-2019, 12:04 PM

Wow we're all over on where this flashback will be. I'm thinking it will be the events of the fire and at Katarina's suicide. I am hoping too that we at least get a mention of Kaplan so we know if her memories are true. I want them to tie her memories into the story. Who knows that might help me like that episode.

So now that we know Katarina's mother was alive, how do you think she and Kaplan knew each other?

Lauren Helen Graham · 04-26-2019, 01:07 PM

Hm, I really don't believe it'll be the time before Liz is born... I think it will be afterwards and Kaplan was around then. We know that. Even when Katarina had to disappear, she was around... Sam is supposed to be in the episode, so it's possible Kaplan will be, too.

She and Kaplan? You mean Katarina's mom and Kaplan? You think they knew each other?

Fangirl49 · 04-26-2019, 01:51 PM

Our assumption has been that Kaplan knows all Reds secrets. So she should know about the mother.

And yes we don't know for sure what Kaplan knew.

Miranda · 04-27-2019, 10:43 AM

I don't know if Kaplan and Katarina's mom knew each other. But we did get to see Kaplan in the flashback episode. Clearly they took a scene from Requiem but she was in the episode.

Lauren Helen Graham · 04-28-2019, 06:57 AM

Hm, I as well have no idea if these two knew each other

I'm really not sure they did... I think it's something that Katarina kept secret from her. Kaplan didn't know Dom either or that he was living in the US. We know that much...

Fangirl49 · 04-28-2019, 01:00 PM

You think she knew Ilya?

I'm thinking no.

Miranda · 04-29-2019, 12:58 PM

I don't know if she knew him. It's hard to tell.

Fangirl49 · 04-29-2019, 01:01 PM

It looks like Ilya was in America working at the Embassy and Katarina was in Russia with Kirk and Kaplan.

I guess Ilya could have had a family here that Dom didn't know about or mention???? They got murdered on Christmas Eve??

Arrrgh. Maybe Dom was simply glossing over Ilyas emotions to stop Lizs questions.

Miranda · 05-01-2019, 11:07 AM

Yes Ilya was working at the Russian Embassy in America.

Yes, Ilya could have had family there. I don't know. Dom obviously doesn't know everything cause he wasn't there for everything.
