Grace is a real freakshow. I still haven't forgiven her for driving the alcoholic back to drinking, but getting herself beaten up after making out with poor Clea was an interesting policing tactic.

What's up with Ham? Are we supposed to think he's a giant ass? Because I'm sure leaning that way.

Well, she knew that they had nothing, so this was the only way that they could get anything on her. What was really fucked up was that the Clea Duvall character just sat there and watched it happen.

you mean because he told that chick that they had a connection?

Are you telling me that Brenda's own niece doesn't know what a sweet tooth she has? How would Brenda have expected that a drug was in those brownies? Sure she shouldn't have been secretly eating, but I know a whole lot of people who would not be able to have any self-control when confronted with the smell of a warm chocolate item.

If you really wanted to be careful: You cook those brownies first thing, you open up all the windows and doors and you wrap the warm brownies in plastic then reynold's wrap so you can't be discovered and you HIDE them.

well, she was high, so not the best judgment.

but she made these judgments before she got high. I think I'm still siding with Fritz.

oh, I'm totally siding with Fritz, just disagreeing that what happened was forseeable. I mean, even if she knew about Brenda's sweet tooth, you'd think that she was enough of an adult not to steal a brownie.

It was a hell of a beating to take. I'm not surprised Clea's character just sat there, though. She was well cowed.

I'm a bit surprised they were so behind Ricky even after they found out about the felony rape thing. I know the woman said it was love, but it was still a big lapse of judgment.

you mean because he told that chick that they had a connection?

I don't think he had to be honest with her, but what he really didn't have to do was make a date.

I am judgey mcjudgerson.

Oh, and who is this new Neely? She really doesn't seem like the same girl who was involved with the anti-government ring at the beginning of the season.

However, I am not a fan of cliffhanger endings.

I just read an article with the ex-showrunner and the USA executive. It seems that the "finale" was actually part 1 of 2 but they elected not to air it. I dunno if they plan to air it when the show comes back. (Though given the new direction USA wants, I think probably not.)

what do you mean the new direction USA wants?
