I think it's perfectly believable. Crazy people always want to be therapists. It's their way of fixing themselves.

I dont think she's a shrink. i took it to mean that she's a physical therapist. JR will need one after laying in a bed for 5 years. He may encounter trouble with movement as a result of that

Ahh, I hadn't even considered that. I like that much better.

It's just when she started talking about how moving back into the mansion might be "triggering" for him, I assumed talk therapist.

Dixie working as a therapist is like me working as a weight loss counselor...only a little less believable.

Perhaps Dixie should have been a writer?

Mmmmm... I like 'em thick!

But seriously, Dixie's had several careers. She was a student teacher under Michael Delaney back in 1996 before she left. Then when she came back she was David's secretary which is what facilitated their affair. Then she died the first time. When she came back, she was running around town as a fugitive because Tad framed her and Zach for murdering Madden. Then she died. So, maybe within the last five years, she went into physical therapy?

Trust me: you wouldn't want any of this. I make Jamey Giddens look svelte.

So Dixie's a physical therapist now? Fine. At least she's getting a paycheck.

Nothing about that conversation Dixie had with Brooke made me think that Dixie is a physical therapist. It sounded more like counselor to me.

I remember the teaching thing- that could have been interesting over the years. Haha Dixie is like Pine Valley's version of Barbie- tries all careers.

Dixie is like Val on KNOTS LANDING: no matter how hard they try, no career path aside from homemaker seems to fit.

Liked Thursday's episode a lot! Rebecca Taylor, who I have said before now seems to be one of the best scriptwriters on the AMC staff, delivered another quality episode.

Like the twist with JR hearing everything Cara said about not having had a miscarriage and abortion, and I agree that suggests he may be faking all his amnesia. I hope he is still genuinely remorseful and wanting to take responsibility though.

Having not seen Billy Clyde before, I'm not as excited as others, but I do like nods to history. I'm concerned about what seems like may be a muddled message though -- seems like Billy Clyde will be a "less bad", "colorful" pimp compared to the Russians, and I'm not sure if that lessens the realism and impact of the story in terms of understanding what people forced into sex work go through.

I do think they meant counselor/psychologist in regards to Dixie being a therapist.

I liked Bianca's complicated talk with David about Marissa as well as her wanting to keep Miranda away from JR and Miranda resisting.

Just watched this a few hours ago.

JR knowing all about Cara's secrets was a little ridiculous to me, but does put him in the middle of the story with David, which is probably a good idea. I thought Ryan Bittle was much better in this episode and seemed to have a grip on the character.

Still don't care about Pete or Celia (the limo scenes outside were the first to give me Peapack vibes), and skipped the Cassandra scenes.

Wonderful, wonderful work by Debbi Morgan in some of those last scenes.

I liked the very complex Bianca/David scenes and the angst and mixed feelings of the Bianca/Miranda scene too. This is great soap.

Billy Clyde's reintroduction scene was vintage AMC! The greasy spoon setting, the hooker with attitude, the "sweet Jesus" Pentecostal, etc. Classic Agnes.

I couldn't understand what he was saying, but it was definitely an Agnes type scene. It made me smile.

Wow, all this was a month ago? The pace since the switch to 2 episodes a week is slower than I thought.

It feels like a hundred years ago to me. When I finally get caught up I'm going to have one of those reactions where someone staggers into the sunlight in confusion and awe.

Actually, for whatever reason, reading your reviews makes it feel like a long time ago to me. But I love reading them--thanks for posting them.

Thanks, I think
