Yes indeed! I was really starting to dislike Grace, but the writers have redeemed her already in my eyes. And, I'm glad. I like this couple! Just 2 weeks ago, I wrote on here that I was done with this character. I"m gonna have to eat those words now.

I agree completely.

For Michaela, I am just along for the ride. I want her happy. Doesn’t matter with whom.

I am rooting for Ben and Grace to rebuild their marriage and their family.

I will be interested in your thoughts in the next few episodes. It’s a fun ride.

I am on episode 10 right now.

Again Mick and Jared thing, still not feeling it... so i guess just along the ride for her and whoever she ends up with.... I think whats not working for me is that i dont see the push and pull coming across on screen for these two IMO.

My feelings on Ben and Grace hasn't really changed much, in the sense i kinda want them to rebuild their marriage.

And as i said you can feel and understand both pov. But i do think Grace is being alittle harsh in how she isn't even trying to believe Ben in what he tells her about the plane and theories about it and Cal... but she is also a woman who went through losing a child so that is big thing.

I felt for Ben when he said to Grace, he only thought about what she got back... not what she had lost, and that hasty walkout after hugging Olive and Cal and the moment in the car!

Austenphile

You hit the nail on the head with how I have felt about Grace this whole time. She lost a child. The one time Ben tried to explain to her, that child was in danger of dying again. And then in episode 9, she was harsh but her child came home after being injured in an explosion.

I’ve had a harder time with Olive. My dad died several years ago, and I would be all over wanting to spend time with him. Not blowing off his offers of ice cream, driving lessons etc and blatantly trying to parent trap my mom with her ex instead of him. I don’t understand where she is coming from at all. Even though I know she felt neglected because of Cal’s illness, and Danny showered attention on her, it’s still your Dad. Why would you want him out of your family like that? Especially when we have seen they were close and she cried for him when he disappeared.

Cute pic!!! They make a great on-screen couple!

Austenphile

I really like watching their scenes together. Even the really angsty and awkward ones.

BlondieLeigh

I don't think they worked early on, but it kind of makes sense.

Austenphile

O think they played them awkward on purpose because of al lithe secrets. There were glimpses but that’s it. I liked watching them come together and start selling it in the back half. I actually can picture them as a happily married couple (well before the baby drama)

I loved the vacation flashback. It showed that they were in a good place before the flight. I don't know if it is possible for them to be happy again. They may have to settle for happy memories.

It's Ben's baby, I refuse to accept any other outcome.

Austenphile

It makes a much better story. Will it have the blood marker? Can that be inherited? And if so, what does that mean about potentially transmitting it through a blood infusion? And would that allow the person to have the Callings? So much more material than just a soap opera angst.
