Scratch that, Bergman, Case, and Stafford all put fratboy Morrow to shame.

Rauch needs to push Morrow.

Hard.

I like Phyllis with Jack, and I know some didn't like them. But I always felt like they were themselves around each other, they weren't afraid to show the good, the bad, and the ugly in one another's presence. I've felt Phyllis comes off as too phony with Nick. She compromises her integrity around him a bit too much. Some might say that's Phyllis trying to be a better person, I say that's just boring and not interesting.

Well, it looks like Jack and Phyllis will be hitting the sack soon, so...

Jack & Phyllis never should've been together but they're a helluva better match than Nick & Phyllis.

That's good to know, I'd rather watch that than another round of Nick and Phyllis's cheap sex with little emotional depth.

I wish I knew what that picture was all about Dee.

She could be comparing Christel Khalil nose to Scotty Pippins(ms). That's what I see in common.

- Raul really blew me away. And Mac has finally come to life - Julia, your prayers have been answered!

Thank God! I'll admit I was starting to give up hope just when she turned it around.

*prepares for Mark's Phick defense*

The way you are hounding Mark is starting to get really uncomfortable. Please just take it to PM or let it go.

Relax, it was an innocent jab, because I know he always replies to a comment where I diminish the alleged importance of Phick, a couple he clearly loves, and one I clearly detest.

This thread makes me

Why Can't We Be Friends?

Pretty much.

It really seems to be going to a new level.

So happy for you! And yes - she has turned a corner. And also, the ribbing of Mark is uncomforatable. There's a reason we have an ignore button - use it please!

I agree. I prefer Phyllis and Jack to Phyllis and Nick. Phyllis and Nick should have never been anything more than an affair.

Hi Kenny! *waves*

Beautiful conversations on today's show.

This one felt totally natural and authentic to me:

Chloe: So "Saint Mackenzie" is trying to lull me into having some sort of false security?

Billy: No, that would be your motive to throw them off your scent. Fortunately, not everybody thinks the way you do, crazy. Do we have any lotion in this place anywhere?

Chloe: Yeah, it's in the bathroom.

Billy: Great. Thank you. Oh, you--you-- actually, you know, instead of being so relieved and giddy, maybe this is a sign that you should just chill the hell out. How about that?

And I loved the candid honesty of this part. Until Sharon started her bravado of "doing me a service".

Phyllis: You okay?

Sharon: Yeah. Um, you know, when I was going through that hard time, I was falling apart, and I was leaning on nick, which you were never shy about calling me out on. Um, I really resented you, but now I see that you were actually doing me a service.

Phyllis: Well, uh, since we're being so candid, I wasn't trying to help you. I was jealous, and I was very hurt, and at times, I hated you.

And again this Chloe dialog felt like something I'd hear real young women say:

Amber: It doesn't bother you?

Chloe: My husband hitting on his ex-girlfriend in front of my entire family? I mean, who wouldn't crave that kind of disrespect? Nah.

Amber: So what are you gonna do about it?

Chloe: I don't know. I don't know what I'm gonna do, because a fling-- a fling I could handle, but... (sighs) "major first love that went nowhere" heartbreak-- that's a little bit more than I bargained for.

Amber: Listen, you got the ring. You got the guy. You've got to at least try and fight for him, chloe.

Chloe: I don't know what to do anymore. I mean, I've dealt with mac, and I-I got her off my turf. That was easy, but I don't know how to handle myself with billy anymore.

Amber: The one thing I do know is the way billy's been acting lately, he totally doesn't deserve you.

Chloe: That, I can work with. Hmm.

And (my opinion, not trying to convince anyone), I thought both Morrow and Case were terrific at the grave. Sharon's been playing a terrific wreck for some times, but Morrow brought his A-game today. Moist eyes, quivering lips, literally fighting to retain composure. Yet not over the top in the slightest. I bought him as a grieving father. I deeply respect that the show continues to play the fallout of Cassie's death. I don't think any other death since has had a smidgen of the impact of Cassie's (my opinion, not trying to convince anyone).

And Chloe's look of victory after watching Raul kiss Mac? Priceless!
