*and sorry if you were here for this and the recap is unnecessary.
What is gratuitous about Momo doing yoga in a yoga outfit? May still walking around in just a sports bra, yeah that's gratuitous (albeit absolutely in-character).
Regarding Marigold's new house: it looks like it is big, but not other typical-extravagance-coding (having white and beige tiled floors and painted kitchen cabinets, not Oriental rugs and animal heads on walls and gold-covered everything). I have a couple employees and a coworker who bought micro-McMansions out in the exurbs that resemble this. That great big (tall-ceiling) entryway apparently just sucks up heating/AC dollars, but ends up not actually doing anything. Gotta say, I envy their kitchen sizes, though.
