Did anyone else think that Caleb, Madeline's high school sweetheart, looked just like Garrett?
I thought both Tessa and Alison must have noticed, they both seemed so shocked when they first meet him in the park.
Maybe that's another reason Garrett left town, because his father did not want to look at him and be reminded that Garrett was not really his son, and that Madeline had cheated on him?
I have thought for a while that Garrett has a different father and Madeline was already pregnant when she married Mitchell. It goes a long way to explain Garrett's black sheep/outsider status.
shareDo the math:
Garrett is 38
Maddy was married to Mitch for 38 years.
Hmmm, is Caleb still around? Could he be the SBK?
Edit: Or, more accurately, was he SBK, planted the box of silver bells in the shed to frame the Hawthorns, got into the house, Garret saw him, they struggled and Garrett killed him in self defense? Is Caleb the skeleton in the grave?
Yes, Caleb O'Conner is alive and is still around. Tessa and Alison arrange a meeting with him (in a park) to ask him why he was at their father's funeral (he was in one of the pictures taken at the funeral). (Madeline told them that he was the man that she had been having an affair with, and that Mitchell hated him.)
Caleb tells Allison and Tessa that he and Madeline were high school sweethearts that still saw each other after she married Mitchell. He said that Mitchell Hawthorne caught him with her at the house, and beat him up. He said he still remembered hitting his head on the planter in the driveway.
But Allison and Tessa ask him if their father dragged him down the stairs that night, after the beating (because that is what Cam remembers, seeing a body being dragged down the stairs).
Caleb says no, that he never even made it inside the house that night, that Mitchell ambushed him and beat him up in the driveway.
So Alison and Tessa go right to Madeline and accuse her of lying to them.
Thanks! As you can probably tell, I didn't see the latest episode - there were thunderstorms/tornadoes in my area and I couldn't get a good signal.
So there is still mystery left! I hope the weather is better this Wednesday!
Oh I'm so sorry, I should have marked that with spoilers, I hope I didn't ruin the episode for you.
We've had some bad thunderstorms too, this summer. Thankfully no tornado warnings, though.
A few weeks ago, I was without internet and phone for three days over a weekend. But some people lost all power so I guess I was lucky (I was going nuts!).
Hope you have good weather and stay safe. Tornadoes are scary, yikes.

Tornadoes are scary, but I have lived in Tornado Alley my whole life.
Tornado season used to be limited to spring to very early summer, but thanks to global climate change, they can pop up almost anytime now, except winter.
I have an old college pal who grew up in southeast Kansas that used to, as a teen, chase storms. Then he moved to LA; now he is as nonchalant about earthquakes as he was about tornados!
We humans are either good at adaptation, or good at sticking our heads in the sand!
I live in the northeast, where the worst I have to deal with are winters of heavy snow, bitterly cold temperatures, and occasional white-out blizzard conditions. There are times we may be housebound for several days, when everything closes as the case may be. And sometimes (although not in the last several years), we even need to shovel our roof if the snow is too heavy.
But it's not nearly not as bad as having to deal with the threat of tornadoes, or heaven forbid... an earthquake. (But I do wonder about global changes in the weather, because I don't ever remember hearing about so much flooding, even in places that don't normally get a great deal of rain.)

Well, I finally figured out how to watch the episode on Amazon; wow!
Now I can't wait for the next episode.
I loved Jack's history presentation, and how his mom helped him. It's sad that she won't get to see him because of the gummi incident, but yikes, using your kid to buy drugs? I can't imagine what addiction must be like.
And who in the house is messing with Madeline? The belts on the couch, the bells in the purse.
And the skeleton must be whoever Garrett defended himself against all those years ago.
The plot thickens...
I thought Jack's history presentation was awesome! I laughed too, ha. I was almost afraid to see what he came up with, and expected something in poor taste, but he surprised me! It was nice to see something so funny on the show, (as well as when Alison and Brady are trying to open that safe).
I liked seeing Cam with his counselor from rehab (I think her name is April?), I hope they end up together, even though they said it was against the rules.
About the bells, Madeline thought that Jack had found the bells in her closet, but there was that scene when she thought someone was in the house. I don't know why, but I thought it might be Madeline's slightly nutty mother, and maybe she is punishing Madeline for not allowing her to be a part of the family.
