Whose idea was it to give Liza false eyelashes? Don't get me wrong, they might be needed with her being so fair, etc., but they are much too large for her. The camera was a good 6 feet away and they were obviously false even from that distance (as opposed to a close-up).

Hmmm, so Aidan temporarily thought Maria was someone named Fiona and he got quite amorous and intimately kissed her. Maybe it's not a matter of him having a twin, but of him thinking Maria looks like someone else, which still gives me a tenuous hold on the twin/lookalike/mistaken identity notion as it relates to Aidan :-)

Kendall grouses that "this town isn't exactly crawling with millionaires". Uh, yes, it IS.

When Liza opened her present from Mia only to discover that it was a barbell, how many of you immediately flashed back to Tom Cudahey clocking Travis in the head with a barbell?

Mia certainly seems "different" today. For a moment I thought it was even a different actress. They definitely seem to have a different makeup artist, but even her demeanor has changed. Interesting that Liza was talking about how different she is since she was married and basically admitted to becoming a pod person. Mia isn't nearly as meek sounding as she has been. If this is a "new direction", it's a good one!

Didn't the Special Forces teach Aidan that one of the key components of hiding is to NOT MOVE AROUND when someone is thisclose to discovering where you are? I guess they just taught him how to jump off rooftops and kick people in the head.

SPOILER SPACE FOR FRIDAY'S SHOW

What the hell is up with Erica's wardrobe? Did an elf go into her closet with a pair of scissors and remove all sleeves and most of the bodices of all her clothes? Apparently it also bleached everything, then dyed it that PUKEY greenish mustard color. Okay, we GET IT -- Susan Lucci has a great body. She also has a good plastic surgeon and someone to massage, oil and buff her skin until it glows without a blemish or wrinkle in sight. But it's the day after Christmas, in PENNSYLVANIA for Pete's sake -- BUTTON UP! I'm sure Mona would agree with me.

Jesus, what is WITH the facial contortions JR constantly puts on -- does he have Tourettes Syndrome or some other central nervous system disorder or is he just a jerk -- literally? I nearly upchucked during his kissing scenes with Laurie. And why does Laurie wearing less than a quarter of the amount of makeup that he's wearing? Lighten up on that blusher!

Just when I think Maria gets a spine, she goes and slobbers all over Edmund again. I don't think he has David working on a cure for her memory -- I think he has him working on some mighty powerful pheromones, because that's the ONLY explanation for her occasional attraction to him. Either that or Edmund is pumping gaseous Libidozone into the air ducts (I'm sure he's pumping SOMETHING gaseous into the air).

Jake explains to Mia that marriage isn't something that you HAVE to think about -- you just KNOW that it's right. Yeah, just look how "right" he and Gillian were for each other. If Mia needed any encouragement to help her make a decision, his reaction to her desire to postpone the wedding should be MORE than enough! What a pompous, overbearing, self-righteous blowhard! (not to mention TWIT!)

LOD: Mia: "I don't really know anything about cosmetics." Greenlee: " THAT'S not a newflash." LOL!

I LIKE this new venture idea now that it's shaping up. The fact that it's going to be the catalyst for many, MANY catfights with Erica is just icing on the cake! The company will be run by a self-loathing lush (Simone), a grifter (Kendall), a drifter (Mia), a brain- altered, embezzling pod person (Liza) and a grouchy, self-absorbed bitch (Greenlee). Did I leave anyone out?

When Anna finally left the barn, did it sound to anyone else like a cloppity horse was leaving the room? I wasn't sure if this was AMC or Excalibur!
