Bless her heart. Chelsea is so dumb. Did this really need to be spelled out for her?

That little girl voice on Chelsea makes her come off as even dumber.

The crazy thing is that Madison's IQ drops 30 points when she's with Chelsea.

Derek has Leslie as "Don't answer"in his phone

Thoughts:

• Hayley is losing it in public. She sucks at her hobby. At least Randy appears to maintain composure.

• I do wonder if the power Bill holds is because of his name or because of the fact he is still using the Dupree name he was once associated with.

• Dana, girlfriend, tone it the frick down. Eva has made her stance clear: you should focus on learning that you have salaried employees, not hourly-rate pay.

• A naked bounce house? Undoubtedly, the idea of a naked bounce house is quite unpleasant. One wrong move and your skin is going to hit the PVC and hurt like a mother.

• Talking in forceful yet hushed tones is not necessarily whispering in secret. It pulls people into the conversation if anything, making them feel included and engaged in the discussion.

• Dana's continued blows, especially where Douglas is concerned, show just how nasty and heartless she actually is.

• Hayley's waterworks are as ridiculous as Chelsea trying to investigate her meeting with 'Sammy'. But it looks like they worked somehow.

• OK, yes, let's make the brickhouse the face of the clinic. That sounds incredibly boring and dull.

• We should avoid bringing up Allison again. Here comes the trauma dump. I sense it.

• The tension between Dana and Vanessa is palpable, ranging from whether one's hair matches their pubic region to the colour of one's heart. Whew. The tension is intense.

• Bill do not leave town with Hayley. You may not return back and if you do, it may not be as you left.

• When Derek becomes the voice of reason... there is a problem. 😬

Notes:

• Tate's dialogue is refreshing, and Montgomery has us back on track. His position as continuity producer as well came in handy today with the callback to Wayne.

• Leslie Mann-Grant (Dana) is fantastic. HOWEVER... the character needs to be rested severely. She is bordering on caricature and not one that could be considered real. It is becoming off-putting.

• I am sorry... but are we chem-testing Ben Gavin (Derek) and Ambyr Michelle (Eva)? I am sensing some major testing in their recent scenes. Oh my... we are chem-testing them!

Between Valberta Davis performing for her life and Leslie and Vanessa's verbal shade fest today was awesome.

Moving Derek in this orbit also has done wonders for his character. I saw a bit of chemistry with him and Eva too.

oh, we’re WAY, WAY past “boarding on caricature,” and “becoming off-putting.”

-- Eva is now at Orphey Gene's for the 5th day in a row. Meanwhile, her mother moves from place to place playing a cartoon.

-- Derek is doing the scheduling for the free clinic. DEREK?

-- Bill can make multiple smart moves to get Lynette's charges dropped, but he has to go to Joey to find Hayley's attacker?

-- All of these hot, sexy people on this show, but Joey and Vanessa get more makeout scenes than anyone else. GMAB.

-- Great wardrobe on this show, but the styling for Joey is a major fail.

-- I'm only 20 minutes in, BTW.
