Designated Survivor S01 E13 – Clone Club

Tom asks Hannah, Forstell, and Mike (the Most Interesting Secret Service Man in the World) how the hell the Vice President was murdered while a team of FBI agents watched. Hannah says they didn’t choose the location, so their options for hiding were limited. (S: Lol no Tom, I was there, they didn't even try.) Also, she's less concerned with how than why. She says Beth had to have been deeply involved in the conspiracy. Tom wants to know what kind of fanatics they’re dealing with. Forstell urges Tom to keep as many details from the press as possible while the FBI investigates, and Tom agrees.

After Chapter 40 – A damn emotional vampire.

Once Hardin has successfully bullied Tessa into the car, they don't talk for a bit until Hardin asks her about her new look. He thinks its a little "over the top" and cool we're veering into the shaming and/or "you don't need all that make up" territory.
Tessa balls her hands into fists in her lap which is a detail that grabbed me because it's very "I'm afraid and trying to self soothe" to me. She tells him that he didn't have to drive her home and Hardin, being the aces guy he is, tells her to stop being so defensive, he's just saying the makeover is "extreme."

After Chapter 39 – Hold the ketchup.

We start just after Steph has finished plucking Tessa's eyebrows, so you know her sex appeal just went up by like 10 points. Steph does Tessa's make-up and she's all nervous about it. I'm almost certain that we've already had 3-4 scenes exactly like this?
Samantha: So. Many. Times. Has. This. Happened. Does this book take place in a time loop?

After Chapter 38 – Broken dishes.

Steph hugs Tessa, who finds her "frail" arms oddly comforting. That's a weird way to describe a seemingly healthy teenager but okay.
Marines: This is how you know the author hates women: she can't compliment Steph in ANYTHING without wrapping it in an insult. Steph just got Hardin out and is coming over to comfort her and Terrible Tess has to note how FRAIL she is before calling it comforting. 

After Chapter 37 – Disgusting.

Just to get your romance juices flowing (or whatever) here's the first line of this chapter:
"Being the disgusting person that he is, Hardin is sitting on my bed when I return." 

Wow. Much swoon.
Samantha: Oh no, my panties explo- oh wait, no they didn't. They're icy. 

Supergirl S02 E08 – Someone called the police!

Hello friends! It's Thanksgiving here on Supergirl, and the episode opens with Kara using her laser vision to cook a turkey. Weird, but also what I'd probably do too. Jimmy and Winn have an annoying conversation about who should be the one to tell Kara that Jimmy is Guardian. To be clear, they are having this argument in Kara's living room. To be even clearer, they are having this argument in the living room of the girl who has super hearing. But whatever.

After Chapter 35 – Yeah. Great idea.

Hey, we're back! Whatever. Extended breaks are sometimes necessary. (S: Especially with this book, in this timeline we live in.)
In an almost direct copy and paste from every other chapter in the Fifty Shades series, Tessa wakes up next to Hardin feeling way too hot because of course these two started cuddling in their sleep. Tessa doesn't really want to get out of bed, but she remembers Noah, who got his ass left at the dorms.

Designated Survivor S01 E12 – Tighten your circle.

The previouslies remind us that Tom was shot, MacLeish was President for a bit and made some sketchy decisions, and oh yeah, ATWOOD'S SON IS I GUESS STILL KIDNAPPED? Can I tangent about this for a bit? Why has no one reported this child missing? Why has no one else noticed that this child is missing and put two and two together? What the hell?
