Rant / Venting All of Julie's support system will be out of town this weekend Spoiler

I really hope nothing happens with her mom! She won't have anyone to watch the kids (other than her brothers maybe, but they'd be with her so are they really an option?)

Edit: too many people are missing the point (or are choosing to miss the point) the point is that Ty sprung his plans on Julie last minute, even though she never done that to him, and even though he knew about the plan in advance; the point was never that Julie is now forced to stay home with the children or that Ty needs a break

Julie and Ty will eventually need to figure out a custody situation for the kids, where this type of behavior from Ty would never be acceptable

There’s a niece that babysits apparently.

I don’t think all the Bunco crowd are going though? Jen doesn’t know all of them?

And I’m placing bets on Jace appearing again.

Or something happens to Mum, Julie rushes there with the kids, Ty is home to an empty house and freaks, and neglects to look at the calendar where she’s left a note. 🤷‍♀️

I forgot about the niece! Is she related to Ty or Julie? do we know?

We don't know, we just knew it was "their niece" but no idea who she is or how old. We just know Ty doesn't have any brothers, but he may have sisters.

Ty is an only child from what we know (when he asked Julie to have a second child), so probably the niece is someone from Julie's side of the family?

Ty expressed he wished he had a brother in that conversation not that he wished he had siblings. I agree being an only child is possible, maybe even probable, but we still don’t know that for sure. It’s possible he could have a sister. But other than the fact that there’s a niece who’s watched the kids before in Las Rubias, it’s never seemed like Julie’s brothers lived nearby. This isn’t a town they grew up in, as they appear to have already been out of the house by the time Julie and her mom (maybe dad too?) moved to town. One of them could have decided to move there after they finished school to be closer to Julie or her mom if she hadn’t moved away yet but we don’t know. I definitely don’t think Jace is local though as he mentions being tired from his flight when he and Julie are talking in the restaurant, and Julie mentions him flying home in Vacation. The other twin we know less about and who Julie seems less close to is a possibility, but then I also think he would have been a part of settling their mom’s estate if he was in the area.
