The Bechamel bit got me laughing so hard.

No first-hand experience, but it seems reasonable to me that a prison might use drug-sniffing dogs.

Agree about the "erasing his history" line. I get the impulse behind it, but it was a darling that should've been killed in the next draft. (The rest of that scene was great, though.)

When the noise from the trunk started, I thought for one terrified moment that the show might be referencing Shayla - which would have been gratuitously cruel, even in an episode that gave us a needle under someone's fingernail.

I think that the Rita Repulsa-cackling (A+ reference, btw) was supposed to be jarring and distressing - that's how I interpreted it, at least. But there was so much happening, who really knows. Those Zimmer/Appleby two hander scenes, though - when Quinn fired Rachel, or their scene in this episode, talking about

I agree, but I also disagree because one of the few moments in this episode that I actually liked was Chet's "…how… did you know?" when Quinn busted him about the anklet.

There are easy ways to solve this, though. Jeremy goes to jail and then HIS TWIN BROTHER JIMMY SHOWS UP. Twist!

I hope the writers take at least one lesson from the season: cut 50% of your plot twists, minimum. This was two or three seasons' worth of incident, piled one on top of another in an incoherent mess. Let the show breathe, folks! There were some great moments buried here and there (i.e. pretty much any time Constance

Well, at least that lets us look forward to seeing Rachel and Quinn as codependent lumberjacks in 6 years or so.

Forget it, Jake - it's China(town).

Well that was disappointing.

Loved the set design of the Looking Glass bathroom - that plaid wallpaper recalled the stripes/bars motif we've seen all over this season, but it was unevenly applied and badly aligned, so all the broken black lines added a sense of fracture/chaos.

Maybe I live in a bubble. Maybe I’m naive. I just find it hard to believe that a therapist would drug her own daughter for several years in an attempt to blot out a rape by one of her patients, to protect her practice.

Because it's a hell of a lot of fun sometimes. Like now.

The whole Jason/Kerry plot - culminating in Jason's blood running through the streets of the model town!!! - was BANANAS in the best possible way. This is not a good show, and it will never be a good show. But sometimes it is a great show.

Skipping!!! That's when I lost it.

This show is so good at nailing the specifics of interpersonal (both romantic/sexual and platonic) conflicts but it feels like it's falling down on the bigger issues it wants to tackle this year.

I… was that friend.

I have been loving Angela's "belly of the beast" story since it started last season. Her snap in last season's finale from an almost pleading explanation ("I just needed a job") to icily intoning, "I don't know who you think you're talking to, but I'll try the Pradas next," is one of my favorite moments of the show.
