How did Myrtle keep a straight face while saying that Erica got over the horror of her father: "She put the past behind her, and she ROSE and she TRIUMPHED over it!" Hello? What planet are YOU on? Erica's life has been one long train wreck, and running off to Las Vegas to become the world's oldest and shortest drunken showgirl who hallucinates about seeing a ghostly, fedora-wearing, card-shuffling phantom as recently as 4 months ago hardly constitutes putting her past behind her and triumphing over it!

Why does Jonathan have to call Security to give them a heads-up about Ethan being in the building? Wouldn't Ethan have had to go past Security to get to the elevator to bring him up to the Fusion offices? Wouldn't they have already been warned NOT to let him come up?

Whoa, they've COMPLETELY cut Mia out of the picture at Fusion -- and I mean that LITERALLY -- Greenlee points to a poster showing the founders at their gala launch party -- Greenlee, Kendall and Simone, as if Mia never even EXISTED! Mia DID have a tendency to just blend in with the wallpaper, but THIS is still pretty COLD.

Maria jumps at Zach's call (which comes on the heels of Edmund saying he's done worrying about Zach Slater, who is out of their lives), then snipes at him because she just HAD to lie to her husband AGAIN. Uh, no you DIDN'T *HAVE* to -- you CHOSE to, you disloyal, lying dimwit!

I don't get it -- why would the threat of spreading a rumor about some girls having STDs be effective? Couldn't the 3 bitches JUST as easily spread the SAME rumor about DANIELLE since Danielle didn't follow through on her threat yet? This is like the banana cream pie in Adam's face -- HARDLY impressive.

Does anyone else find Jonathan's gushing over Greenlee and Ryan possibly making a baby REALLY creepy? It's also WAAAAY to premature for them to be portraying Greenlee as being pregnant, which they seem to be foreshadowing with her sudden nesting instincts over the (perfectly healthy) fern and sudden odd behavior (giving Simone her wedding ring and telling Ethan that Zach is probably Alexander Cambias (mere minutes after Ryan told her not to tell ANYONE). Of course, pregnancy and timing has never been AMC's strong point (Mimi (Danielle's mother) fainted when she was exactly TWO DAYS pregnant, for instance).

Mentioning that Erica "borrowed" Maddie when she was a baby was REALLY lame! She didn't "borrow" her -- she KIDNAPPED her and then paraded the baby right under Maria's grieving nose! This should have been an opportunity for Maria to slap Erica right into Mona's headstone and instead they give her that wishy-washy line? It was so soft-pedaled it wasn't even worth throwing it in in the first place! And then ERICA has the nerve to accuse MARIA of taking a cheap shot for even MENTIONING it?

I can't believe Edmund used almost the EXACT same words that I used above referring to Maria (except he was saying the opposite) -- i.e., that she's a disloyal LIAR. It's times like this that REALLY make me wish I had posted on the same day the show aired :-)
