Re-watching The Kennedy Curse:
Previouslies: 
OMG YOU GUYS, HOW MANY TIMES ARE WE GOING TO BE TORTURED BY HAVING TO RE-WATCH LUCY AND WYATT KISS IN HOLLYWOODLAND? This is so painful, yo. 
I kind of appreciate that the show doesn’t specifically indicate who our young target is at first, though it’s not hard to guess if you’re paying enough attention.
Lucy and Jiya. LUCY AND JIYA.  These two do not get enough scenes together. 
“I’m sure Wyatt and Flynn have it under control.” LOL, no.
“What about what you want?” “We’re still friends, we have the missions. I’ll be fine.” LIES.  ALL LIES, LUCY PRESTON.
This conversation between Lucy and Jess is so awkward. High school sweethearts, and in counseling for TWO YEARS? I mean, Jess had to have know what she was getting into when she married “her” version of Wyatt, and she’s stuck it out that long? I question her judgment a little bit at this point.
FYI, Wyatt’s outfit isn’t quite the same as what he was wearing in Hollywoodland - the pants are different, the sportcoat’s new, but I think that’s the same shirt and sweater.
Rufus and Wyatt all panicky upon their return is pretty damn funny. Lucy is like the American Express card: DON’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT HER.
Christopher: “You left [Flynn] there?!” Wyatt: “We’re gonna go back and pick him up!”
Wyatt and Rufus being very nonchalant about retrieving Flynn when they go back to ‘34 is very in character. 
This cover story is pretty decent, considering the circumstances. 
#AwkwardFlirtAlert: Of all the freakin’ topics he could have picked, Wyatt has to go with JFK’s numerous affairs to kick off the conversation?  OH HONEY, NO.  JUST NO.
Concurrently, Lucy, is this really the type of behavior you want Wyatt to be emulating? JFK was charming and charismatic, but he was a deeply flawed man who by most accounts was a terrible husband in a number of ways. Let’s not encourage similar behavior from Wyatt.
Basically, this entire conversation in the bunker hallway made me do a Picard facepalm.
Lucy and Denise.  LUCY AND DENISE. Another conversation that is wholly overdue. 
The sandwich Lucy made actually didn’t look that bad.  
“Well, she’s a teacher, right?” Jessica’s inflection on the word teacher gets everybody’s hackles up. Also, Lucy at least probably has the clearance level to do something like this, which Jessica assuredly does not. 
“I’m having a rather strange day.” - JFK, totally understating the situation.
Rufus, Jiya and Mason batting around the logic of causality loops is about the most sci-fi this show has gotten in a while.
Why would they want to keep a low profile, Jessica? I dunno, maybe because they have a TIME TRAVELING MACHINE THAT BAD GUYS STOLE AT ONE POINT? I get that this timeline is kinda compressed (I’m assuming it’s been a couple of days,maybe a week, max, since they got back from Hollywood and Jess got dragged into the bunker) but surely Wyatt has explained some of this to her?
I looked up Risperidone, out of curiosity - it’s commonly used to treat bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Do with that what you will.
Grant Jordan is just SO charming as Young Jack. “What’s wrong with my suit? This is a nice suit!” Yes it is, young fella.  You look very dapper.
JFK’s medical issues - aside from his fairly well-known back problems - were never really definitively diagnosed, but it’s likely he had IBS in some form or fashion, and having a very good friend who suffers from Crohn’s Disease, that is no joke. 
Have I mentioned lately how much I HATE Nicholas and Emma? SEETHING HATRED
Agent Christopher getting taken: DID NOT SEE THAT COMING. Also, Sakina Jaffrey liked one of my tweets last night, which was super-cool.
“This is like getting stoned to death with popcorn.” Interesting analogy there, Connor.
This conversation between Rufus and Jiya .... oh, geez.  I don’t know if I have the brain space to address this right now. I mumbled about it on twitter last night. Maybe I can corral my thoughts better later. Just know that I appreciated the fact that this dialogue existed in this episode at all.
Carol is truly getting desperate to have this conversation with Christopher. 
“If you think that’s going to work, then you don’t know your daughter at all.” YOU TELL HER, MAMA BEAR.
Jack and Kayla are actually really sweet together. Props once again to the casting department!
This fight scene between Wyatt and Emma is BRUTAL .First question: where did Emma learn her moves? Is she ex-military and I’ve just forgotten?  Per Lana Cho, who wrote this episode, that sequence took almost 8 hours to film and that was ALL Matt and Annie, no stunt doubles. 
And Emma pretty much confirms that she’s responsible for Jessica’s resurrection.  Still a stone-cold bitca.
To shoot, or not to shoot: this isn’t quite the same scenario as in the Pilot, when Flynn has Lucy. Emma is very careful to position herself such that Wyatt’s only option, if he is to pull the trigger, is a head shot, which he is unlikely to take because it’s a low-percentage play. 
Lucy, picking up Wyatt’s visual cues. Love it! Also, her bitching at the security guard is totally a wifey move. Notice Jessica is DEAD SILENT. the entire time. She knows what’s what. 
“It’s not like he was faithful to me before, I don’t know why he’d be faithful to me now.” JESSICA, WHAT? WHAT IN THE ACTUAL HELL WERE YOU DOING WITH THIS CLEARLY TERRIBLE VERSION OF WYATT? 
Incidentally, she said it so off-handedly that I wonder if it happened before they were married.  But still. 
“Tell him I said bye?” She seriously wasn’t even going to tell him to his face? Cold. 
A lot has already been said about Lucy’s speech, and I don’t have too much to add, other than to reiterate my thoughts from Twitter last night: Lucy deserves better than to be the default choice. Letting Jess walk away would have been a mistake. 
That being said, she toes the line between selflessness and being self-sacrificing a little too closely for my taste.
Agent Christopher being microchipped explains how they’re going to raid the Rittenhouse bunker next week. 
Fun fact: JFK named Robert Frost Poet Laureate during his term as POTUS, and Frost read a poem at his inaugration.
Ohhhhhhhh, this is bad, THIS IS VERY BAD. Don’t give JFK the iPad, Kayla!
Props again to both of these actors.  They are so good. 
I would love to know how Denise explains that MAJOR SHINER to her children.
House parties, blech.
TEXT, LUCY. No one can hear cell phones with the music that loud. 
Emma is the absolute LAST person you should be asking for help, Jack.  
Kayla and her brother are going to have a VERY tough time explaining those bullet holes in the walls when their parents get back tomorrow.
“Was I a good President?” “One of the greatest.” *sob*
“If you were my daughter, I’d be so proud.” *double sob*
These last two minutes are a full-on callback to 1x09, The Last Ride of Bonnie and Clyde, and that is totally deliberate, friends. Possibilities have turned into reality, and no matter how hard they try, Wyatt and Lucy can’t put that genie back in the bottle. 
Until next week ......
