As long as they obey the rules they have set up as they plot out the story, I'm willing to accept all the outrageous coincidences. And so far, they've really kept me guessing. I can't wait to find out how they plan to weave together all the plot strings!

It took me a while to adjust my attitude for viewing this show, but now I'm approaching it the same way you are, Alle. You have to just suspend disbelief and strap yourself in for the wild ride.

Just when you thing they're going to zig -- they zag. And that's one of the main reasons I think that the student/teacher hook up is just too obvious. I think Mr. C is going to tie in to the story in other ways. After all, we didn't know Charlie's real connection at first, either.

OK, I've now seen the whole thing. I enjoyed the episode too. As long as you take it for what it is, it's enjoyable. But they do need more for Mr. C to do!

Enjoyed the business dinner although Bridget didn't seem to know what to make of it. Wonder if she'll put things together later. And I'm kind of scared for Malcolm given where Bridget took him.

I'm really looking forward to the next episode. I wonder how much everything will fall apart.

Sadly, no repeat. I checked, and not tonight.

I'll get it tomorrow.

Here are the press releases for the next 2 episodes:

Episode 1.09 - “Shut Up and Eat Your Bologna” (Content Rating TBD) (HDTV)

LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING — Bridget (Sarah Michelle Gellar) begins to realize she is developing feelings for Andrew (Ioan Gruffudd), while Henry (Kristoffer Polaha) and Andrew’s business partner Olivia (guest star Jamie Murray) bond over common interests. Malcolm (Mike Colter) is suspicious of Bridget’s new NA sponsor Charlie (guest star Billy Miller) and Bridget makes an appointment with Siobhan’s therapist (guest star Merle Dandridge), hoping it will help her discover some insight into her sister’s life. Nestor Carbonell and Zoey Deutch also star. Scott White directed the episode written by Bob Berens (#108).


Episode 1.10 - "That's What You Get Trying to Kill Me." Warning: this one is a tad spoiler-y, so view at your own discretion...

ETA: A promo pic from 1.10...

Ooh... Mr. C. looks stern, doesn't he?!

Ha ha, alle, I actually thought he looks hot, and it says so on the pic as well!! Coincidence??

I did notice that. How apropos! Although they don't really need visual aids to help us see his hotness...

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to pick that up.

I love that he's won you over, maggatha.

You have probably talked about it weeks ago, but I was watching episode three, where Bridget is trying to find whose phone is the one she got from the dead man's pocket and she went to a shop. The guy that sells cell phones, isn't he the teenage vamp from ML episode ''Arrested development''? He sounds the same, and looks the same...no acne though or vamp appeal, I guess. Am I right?

You are right. Wes Robinson played an electronics clerk in that episode.

Well, looks like no Juliet or Mr. C tonight. Poo.

He was definitely missed, but there were some interesting reveals, though. It's fascinating watching the characters putting some of the pieces together. And one of our earlier questions about how tiny Bridget was able to overpower the cop guarding her in the first episode was finally answered.

Yes, although I'd swear...
I'll have to go back and check.

Here's a fun fact for those who might be wondering...

When I was talking to Jason at the world premiere of Searching for Sonny, I asked him -- jokingly, I thought -- if Mr. Carpenter had a first name. His response? He looked a little surprised by my question and then... To follow up, I had this exchange with Ringer writer Jay Faerber on Twitter yesterday. Someone had asked if the writers would be live-tweeting during last night's episode and he responded that it depended on how much work they got done. So, I asked...

@JayFaerber @RingerWriters As long as you're working, do you think you could work on a first name for Mr. Carpenter? ; )

He responded:

JayFaerber Jay Faerber
Everyone knows teachers don't have first names. RT @EmpressLilly: @RingerWriters do you think you could work on a first name for Mr. C? ; )

Very cagey. Maybe we should start a lottery to guess when MR. C's first name will be revealed and what it will be.

I think his exact words (or close to them) were:
And he looked VERY surprised by the question.
