Did anyone else notice this mistake? Nina just gets home from the hospital. Enters living room where Cici and mother-in-law are. Ends up taking the blame for leaving the bedroom light on, but hadn't even been upstairs

Dayna I feel like that was kind of the point- Andrew let her get “punished” for things that weren’t even her fault.

Ann Agree with Dayna- it was not a mistake. Showed she could not have done it, but she took the blame for it anyway. Also highlighted the mother had similar odd ways of noticing similar odd errors in behavior and making a big deal about it

Terry And how did he know she would be punished for this. He had the bright light all set before the incident.
flag
Marie Grace She was shifting the blame from Andrew to herself on purpose

Connie Joyce I caught that too! I had to reread the scene. It was confusing because she said something like, "Who knows? I could've left the lights on." No, you couldn't! You just got home from the hospital!!!! LOL
flag
Aureous lol i did ! i had to read it twice just to make sure

Biswa She meant, before going to the hospital, she left the lights on by mistake...(not after coming from hospital of course)
flag
Deborah She left the light on earlier in the day before Nina and her husband left.
