Disappointed in the Snake Narritive

I think Valentin said he gets a notification whenever his credit card is used

That's how he knew so quickly.

If he was waiting for his bill, it could be a couple of weeks later from the party.

Maybe the speculation that all those flashbacks were added to stretch out the show wasn't correct.

If today is the end of the party/clean up then to me it seems as if they were never intending to show much about the snake escape itself.

As Anna 74 said, it was extremely anticlimactic. Matter of fact most of the episodes they're airing now seem very inferior, which makes me wonder if they knew they were about to stop filming due to Coronavirus.

I agree! I was late to the LT today and asked spouse what I missed - his reply: nothing.

So I learned after the fact that Finn grabbed the snake.
Ava is furious thinking Nicholas planted it.

Valentin puts 2+2 together real quick when he learns that a snake was in Ava's purse, because he checks his credit card statements (Mini PSA - check your onlne statements for fraudulent use) knowing he gave Charlotte access.

Charlotte squirms under Valentin's loving gaze as he tells her he figured out what she had done.

Where was Lulu in all this: not putting together a big canvas sack that her daughter arrives at the party with and leaves said party without it......

Ava reaction to the snake was a 5-10 sec reaction at the end of Thursday's eppy. It was a cliffhanger! The capture, Ava initially meeting up with NIcholas, and what became of the snake would have been appropriate. We get a limited Father/ daughter scene that I hope is continued tomorrow where Valentin disciplines his daughter.

They made us wait an entire weekend and we got nothing for it. I wanted to see parents scoop and run with their kids and Anna and Finn running aroung trying to find out where the snake came from. Again, nothing.

They just jumped right to the part where Valentin knew Charlotte purchased the snake. She tried to lie about it, but he made her confess.

This was really disappointing. I don’t understand why they couldn’t have filmed Finn scooping up the snake as Ava shrieks and the kids squeal with delight . They already had the actors there. They could have used a rubber snake to avoid cruelty to animals or scaring children. They could have Finn then assure everyone the snake is not poisonous.
It was all very anticlimactic.

What a let down. The whole creepy thing with the snake and now it is just over with no big ending. Does Valentin
know that Charlotte bought the snake? This show is so choppy that I can't keep up. They can't stay with one story
and a least give some drama before hopping off to another.

I was surprised that they seemed to pass over the snake episode so quickly. Unless I missed something, the whole thing was rushed today without showing much of what happened. I was actually hoping to see a bit more of it live including the interactions among the partygoers. All we heard was that Ava screamed.
