Im officially worried aboutBig Little Liesseason 2.
Like every week this season, Kill Me starts with flashbacks to the aftermath of Perrys death.
Its Janes turn to wake up after that.

Afterward, Celeste confronts her lawyer Katie (The Night Ofs Poorna Jagannathan) about staying silent.
Well, definitely dont ask Madeline for advice on how to avoid that.
Speaking of Madeline, her ex-husband and possible soon to be ex-husband have a run-in while running.
This dynamic between Nathan and Ed continues to be my favorite comic relief of the season.
But this time, we mix in Mary Louise and Quinlan shooting her suspicious looks.
If shes not out running, then Bonnie is sitting by her mothers side at the hospital.
the idea that Bonnie is going to drown by seasons end.
Elsewhere, Madeline and Ed are trying their best to keep their relationship from drowning.
Theyre headed to a healing institute that is definitely not a swingers convention.
Were warriors, you and me, she tells her husband.
He agrees that he was a sound choice.
She doesnt like what hes insinuating, pulling over and asking him to explain.
Ed checked all those boxes until Madeline got unsound.
She insists that he can trust her to love him and to never be unfaithful again.
All my future mistakes will be brand new ones, she says.
Honestly, I dont find that as reassuring as she thinks it is.
I dont remember this ever being mentioned before, but apparently, Celeste is a lawyer herself.
Like Renatas frustration with metal detectors, her rolling a desk chair over towards Mary Louise is pure comedy.
The interaction takes a quick turn as Mary Louise realizes this isnt just a social visit.
It would be so nice if people could just be together, she opines.
Maybe somebody will invent an app for that.
Confrontations are happening all over Monterey.
Like the good brothers they are, Max and Josh run over when they see this.
I dont support violence, but as a big brother, I was proud of them.
The incident lands the boys each three-day suspensions.
God no, declares Jane.
And shes right, youre going togrow up to be like Jim Parsons.
Celeste is taking a slightly different tactic with Max and Josh, choosing to grill the boys over dinner.
One of them calls her a bitch, causing her to lash out before crying.
We can protect you, says Josh, reaching out to touch his moms face.
We can say whatever you want us to say.
She insists they dont need to protect her, just need to tell the truth.
Damn, I think Im officially all in on Max and Josh.
The food bonding continues with Abigail and Madeline getting ice cream.
Madeline is considering trying golf to bond with Ed, even though she hates it.
Those arent the exact words that Bonnie has for her dad, but its pretty close.
Bonnie then snaps at him for finally being involved.
Their tense relationship continues at home.
Sometimes the things she feels and sees turn out to be right, and now Im worried.
Back at the hospital, Bonnie tells her sedated mom to stop worrying about her.
Subsequently, Elizabeth starts making noises, eventually declaring, Kill me.
Im not sure Bonnie could handle another body on her conscious.
And that leads perfectly into Celeste meeting with Mary Louise and the lawyers.
Celeste again accosts Katie for being silent.
Admitting that its a decent offer, Katie warns that Perrys death will come up at trial.
That has Celeste sending out the bat signal for a beach meeting.
Madeline wants them to all stick with their story and stick together.
Were gonna be fine, she says, seemingly hoping to convince herself as much as the others.
But when Jane quickly starts crying, Corey holds and comforts her.
Well, it is, but it isnt.
(Whispers: It is.)
Time for our annual episode-ending montage!
And that brings us to the big cliffhangers.
Oh yeah, dont forget that shes married to Bachman!
Could this be a21 Jump Streetsituation but with the aquarium instead of high school?!
The Biggest Lie of the Week:Other than the whole Perry fell on his own thing?
Probably Bonnies dad thinking he protected his daughter.
The flashbacks would say otherwise, sir.
The Monterey Bae of the Week:Definitely Ed.
The Emmy Submission Moment of the Week:Celeste telling the boys what to say to the judge.
