Its Halloween onBig Little Lies, and everyone is dressed up as someone whose life isnt totally falling apart!
Also, this whole season was officially worth the price of admission just for this weeks disco party.
Preach, says Renata, who is headed to bankruptcy court Saturday.

But more importantly, she is killing it in this Halloween outfit.
We stay, she says of why she doesnt leave Gordon.
They betray us and we stay.
Renata is saved by the bell when Mary Louise shows up.
Mary Louise has big news: Shes moving into Janes building.
And she wastes no time tickling Ziggy and inviting him over for sleepovers.
Celeste pulls her mother-in-law aside to tell her to stop overstepping, especially with the woman her son raped.
This causes Celeste to slap the glasses right off Mary Louises face.
What should we call that?
Mary Louise asks a horrified Celeste.
Oh, you just wait, Mary Louise.
People can move on after tragedy, just not together sometimes, Mary Louise says.
And with that, shes on her way to move her grandchildren away from their mother.
He also prepares her to be alienated from the boys.
Everyone needs to be liked, he opines.
I find thats especially true with grandmothers.
And grandmothers deserve to be liked!
Right about now, Madeline would love to at least be liked by Ed.
Chloe has a picture of a door and a picture of her mom.
One is hinged and the other is unhinged.
Madelines not a fan, while Ed hasnt smiled that wide in weeks.
The troubled marriage theme continues when Renata and Gordon arrive at bankruptcy court.
Im never cool, Renata says with a laugh.
Hey, Renata, dont ever say that about my friend again!
The fun times only last so long, though.
First, Bonnie interrupts Celeste and Madelines conversation to ask what Mary Louise knows.
If anything, shes suspicious of me, Celeste admits.
If I could do it again, I wouldnt go along with the lie.
Madeline thinks shes being blamed and doesnt appreciate her friends talking bad behind her back.
Youre right here, its to your face, cracks Bonnie (insert fire emoji).
Elizabeth notices this and grills her daughter about the bad energy.
She really pisses Bonnie off when she grabs her head and tries to get inside it with some voodoo.
Elsewhere at the disco party, marriages continue to be on the rocks.
Gordon wants to know if his wife will ever be able to forgive him.
Its not about him, she insists, as shes spent her whole life planning her childs life.
Im having a difficult time reconciling that all my dreams have gone to sh, she admits.
All my hopes and plans for Amabella have gone to sh.
Thats on me… my fing bad.
Damn, I need my girl Renata to stop being so hard on herself.
Things arent going much better for Madeline and Ed.
Well, at least one relationship is Monterey is going strong.
This leads to her sharing more about the circumstances with Corey, who comforts her by taking her hand.
At the hospital, Bonnie learns that her mothers seizure was the result of a stroke.
And in that emotional space, Bonnie spots Quinlan talking to a doctor and goes off on her.
Thankfully, Jane arrives and pulls her away, revealing that the detective was there for an unrelated case.
Im still here, arent I?
he retorts, to which she fires back, Is that what you think, Ed?
Youre far from here.
Youre not even fing close.
Celeste will soon be having her own romantic flashbacks.
It turns out that once again Ambien didnt quite agree with her.
Mary Louise drops Max and Josh off at Janes apartment so she can talk one-on-one with Celeste.
Youre a mess, she declares, saying the boys are at risk in Celestes care.
As she leaves, Mary Louise notifies Celeste of her intentions to take the children.
In complete shock, Celeste cant even hold the paperwork.
I know shes trying to take down our girls, but I respect the hell out of Quinlan.
I dont feel strong enough for this, says Celeste.
But when Reisman suggests settling, Celeste declares, Ill win.
Biggest Lie of the Week:That Renata is never cool.
You take that back!
Monterey Bae of the Week:Get it, Celeste!
Emmy Submission Moment of the Week:Celeste slapping Mary Louise.
Thats a scene that plays during the reading of the nominees at the Emmys if Ive ever seen one!
