Kevin's break-up could be: A) a lie to break off the relationship with Crazypants that assuages her ego ("but I really want you kthxbye") or B) Kevin "wants" Olivia but realizes the relationship won't work out (he doesn't trust her) and doesn't want to throw away his good thing with Sloane. My guess is it's a mature…

No one warned you to get a Japanese bootleg of the pilot?

If Helen knew it and still kept Noah around, Whitney would have to end the relationship with her mom (effectively cutting out her siblings as well). So I wonder if the thought is Whitney (go figure, unselfishly) doesn't want to blow her family apart so she's hiding it from her mom.

Nothing says sexy times like ten Vicodin a day, a glass of red wine, a neck wound and a 100°F temperature. Only Whitney's hot tub trauma could make this hotter for Helen… Yikes.

Maybe not so much fall into her old life as to realize that West Covina is the wrong place for her. She's trying to fit into Josh's world in West Covina. I think Josh is really transference for her daddy abandonment issues. As far back as camp, I bet she knew he wasn't into her and in that way messed up people…

More like Ace the photographer, or Heather Locklear joining the show as a Special Guest Star.

Surprising moments, ranked:
#3 Mrs Hernandez speaks!
#2 Becca choo choo chooses Paula :)
#1 Becca pauses at Josh's declaration.

Josh on some level is aware of what's going on; he admits that most girls fall for him (and we get that he doesn't reciprocate). I think in his mind he's being kind by playing along with her shenanigans, so as not to humiliate her by calling her out. And I think he is gratified by the attention (which is why he's now…

Back…and to the left

The changes for season two remind me of The Facts of Life, with a big reboot of the show and cutting a lot of people. It was a more cohesive show, but wasn't as good at capturing raw NYC.

I thought I heard she had to be a redhead since Carrie and Samantha were both blondes (and SJP and KC both had better pull to get what they wanted).

I thought S5E6 "Critical Condition" was one of the better friend-focused episodes, even though it wasn't very SATC. Samantha wasn't often allowed to be nice until later in the series, so stepping up to give Miranda (who was flailing at motherhood) her exclusive hair appointment and watching Brady (with Samantha flair…

Ugh, but no one missed Scooter.

Humph. Daisy Duke was a much better feminist than the Angels.

Cynthia Nixon has been around forever, even longer than SJP. Going back further is Pretty Darlings… and I think she did a LHOTP episode? I also think it's funny that Nixon was forced to have red hair, despite being the only natural blonde of the bunch.

Vicodin and Cooper Minis don't mix, Noah. How's about you don't try.

Same thought…gimme a break!

She seems stiff and hostile by Allison's reckoning, which we know always paints Allison as the victim. And she's stiff by Cole's reckoning, because he feels guilty about his feelings for Allison. We need another POV with less emotional attachment. Or at least get Luisa's POV.

Don't forget that Allison pushed the guy into the road before Helen hit him. That makes Helen 0% less responsible, I just like to point that out :).
