What did you watch?

 Two-day catch-up.
 FRI:
 What Hides in Silence (LMN) - Aubrey Reynolds and Gina Vitori are reunited again!! Unfortunately, this time they aren't trying to duck sharks...  :(
    This was an odd little flick, not one of Reynolds' better ones (unfortunately), and I say that as a fan.
    The flick opens with Reynolds' character, a deaf teacher,

losing one of her students in a freak circumstance when he wanders away when she's not looking and getting himself run over.
    It's two years later now, and Reynolds' character is a mess, and she's living with her engaged sister (Vitori). In one of the flick's more realistic bits, Vitori's fiance (Aaron Mees, I think) is a jerk who doesn't like the sister played by Reynolds and wants her OUT OF THE HOUSE! A.S.A.P.!!
    Reynolds' character gets a job to interpret for a recently deaf high school senior (Haley Baird Riemer) in summer school - The high schooler's dad (John Castle) is OK, and in fact is sweet on Reynolds' character. But her mom (Liza Jaine) is a total nightmare.
    Anyway, Reynolds' character eventually breaks down the high schooler's walls. And soon enough, the girl picks up a potential boyfriend (Alec Anderson-Carrasco).
    But all along, someone is harassing and threatening Reynolds' character. We're led to think it's the high schooler's nightmare mom, but of course that is too easy.
    I had this one figured out pretty early on, and unfortunately they didn't really go anywhere with it that I wasn't expecting.
    So, this was... OK, I guess, but Reynolds has done other Lifetime flicks that I've enjoyed much more.
