Family 'Shoppin' for who?

With all the talk about Jake in New York now, a little look back to Jake in NYC in the fall.

Remember when those pictures of Jake on Yom Kippur?

Jake threw a curve ball being see in his glasses, but is that the only curve he threw?It seemed odd at the time that Jake was snapped jogging in Central Park. Something he was never seen doing the weeks before Oct 8 or even since.

And many commented that that it was uncharacteristic that the G's were wearing leather shoes and leather purses going to services on Yon Kippur.And then there were the pictures. The first set anyone saw where the ones by the brick wall.And then almost a day later appear additional pictures that looked like there were so over exposed that the entire background seemed burned out.So was Jake throwing more than just curve? Where the glasses a distraction for something else like him getting out of town?

Some could say it was all about Maggie keeping her pregnancy under wraps a bit longer. That seems like part of it. Look how she is blocked in all photos.
And Jake and Peter were almost abreast in creating a walking wall.Or the fact that Peter is looking like a bird doing a mating ritual or an extra for Maroon 5's Moves Like Jagger.

But it is way beyond just strategic walking. There are so many things out of place and shopped in the big family photo shot that you have to arrow them to keep track.

The legs are there but where the person's head ? Is Jake walking up the back of his mom's leg?How does an arm in front of Peter be out of focus but his arm behind it be clear as a bell? Why does it look like Maggie & Mama G's hands are almost overlapping?What is that oddly solid blue thing between Naomi's knees?

And more:How blurry is it between Jake's arm and the pole?
Another headless person and where did the dude in the hat pop up from? Why are the bikes in focus but street signs that can be seen for blocks not?

So the question is, was the picture to cover for Maggie or to cover for Jake?

The Photo Op/Photo Shop, the picture of him out jogging, and the barrage of tweets trying to put him in NYC look like it could have been cover for him. Making it look like he was in New York when he wasn't? If he wasn't there, where could he be?

LA.

Interesting that Austin was tweeted he was editing his episode that weekend. And from the season before we know that editing takes place in LA. And Austin was so busy he even forgot that FIVE was premiering.

Crazy day editing. I finished my cut. I hope you all enjoy it when it airs.
