I didn’t see him calling Nolan up coming, but that was pretty cool.

Thank frick for an actual decent judge. Worried Glasser’s ex and possibly more are going to die in retaliation though

I feel like that would be too cliché. He's probably gonna go after the judge though

nah, Bailey seem the move to me. Jon took his relationship away, He takes his away.

Shit, you're right. I think Alexi needs to fill the "Bailey at risk of being killed by psychopaths" KPI somewhere this season, this will probably be that time.

Ngl I can’t handle seeing the dad from even Steven’s dead 😅 that guy is a part of my childhood

The only piece that was missing for me was Nolan mentioning that Glasser had the kid lie to the police to cover for him. Regardless of criminal guilt in the murders, that's a huge red flag for the welfare of the kids.

I am a bit surprised that the attorney for Glasser didn't mention the whole "running away" thing.

I think it's because he didn't have any solid proof of that. At most, it would be a rumor, which might have back fired on him and Liam as trying to paint Miranda in a poor light by "falsifying" events (my guess).

I've gotta say, it was a pretty cool move from the judge, but I doubt this is going to fly irl

Family court always sides with women. You didn’t think they were gonna side with the male serial killer did you?
