Boogie Chillen

Ah, THERE'S the weasely little Petey Cortlandt we remember -- the nerdy part is still a little jarring, but the underhandedness definitely rings a bell.

Well, THAT was fast -- burning Richie's body, I mean. It reminds me of an Ann Rule book I read once where a man murdered his wife for the insurance money by drowning her in a lake and pretending it was an accident. They believe him and he had her cremated with no fuss or muss that night or the next day or something like that. Then he took her two kids (may have been his, too), whom he also had insurance policies on, home and rented a movie: Weekend At Bernie's.

Is anyone else sick of Alfonso the Tiger?

For someone who is supposed to be savvy when it comes to sweeping criminal activities under the rug, Adam is being pretty stupid about the car. He calls Barry Shire (aka Very Shyster) and tells him to make the car disappear/vanish. Then he hangs up and calls to report the car as stolen. Uh, shouldn't he at least wait until the car IS stolen to report it as such?

Greenlee was knocked unconscious long enough to be out for quite some time. You'd think that she'd have a monumental headache and that vigorous sex (and it looks like it IS going to be "vigorous") would take a backseat for at least a couple of hours.

That's a very 1960s dress that Colby is wearing. Speaking of the 1960s, Mad Men is returning to AMC on 7/27 and the AMC channel will be showing a marathon of the first season starting at 9am on Sunday, 7/20. It's a FABULOUS show, and I highly recommend it!

Why and at what point did Greenlee and Aidan bring SHEETS into the living room? Wouldn't it have been more expedient to simply walk to the bedroom? Of course, then Jake couldn't walk in on them, but it was kind of lame, especially given the aforementioned likelihood that Greenlee has a doozy of a headache after getting whacked in the head with a sailboat boom (well, at least for once it wasn't a ball (or two) .

Emma bounces into the room and says she just saw Uncle Richie on TV and asked where he was. How many of you wanted to say: "Oh, Sweetie, don't worry -- he's right over there in that jar on the floor."

So they tell Emma that Richie is dead (aka, playing with Mittens, the kitten who has gone to the great catnip garden in the sky) so he can play with Mittens as much as he wants now. Uh huh. Then Annie briskly scoots Emma off to get ready to go to camp. WTF? They tell the kid her uncle is dead and just sweep it under the rug (which they could LITERALLY do if that jar tips over), saying they'll talk about it later?

Colby thanks Babe for being there for her and says she couldn't ask for a better sister. Oh, I think she probably COULD. Just wait until Colby has her first baby -- Babe will probably snatch it and take it on the run (for it's own good) before it's even a month old!

So, if Aidan and Greenlee move into a house, who will move into the Penthouse? Erica needs a new place, right? Jake could stay there. Frankie could move into it to get some space, although his parents would still be in the same building. Someone else is rumored to be coming back to town, and that person could stay there.
