I like the relationships between the three main characters.
The wife being #3? I really don't like that casting, and I'm a bit miffed that she lied to him about dinner being ready, but I'm not exactly Ms. Relationship Compromise Wisdom or anything.
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Mad Men: I'm surprised Betty didn't try to use that knowledge to her advantage more.

What a super tense episode of MM that was. Wow. Franken, I think Betty was surprised at Don's responses. She didn't expect what she got and air was let out of her balloon.

I think that she didn't want him to feel bad.

No kidding. I kept waiting for the teacher in the car situation to somehow interrupt their discussion, but I also figured she was too smart to go up to the house.

I guess it was how she framed it--that she was too bright to have expected him home. No, you were dumb enough to expect him. Don't big yourself up.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I read that the way Vortex did as well--a white lie so he didn't feel so bad.

Yeah but she got him back by feeding his dinner to the dog. (Who should really not be fed at the table, much less on the table, but whatever. Dogs in Hollywood are not like real dogs--they never get catastrophic diarrhea at 3 am and poop all over the living room carpet.)
The guy who plays Caffrey is disturbingly pretty.

Well, she didn't really get him back--she said there was no dinner, and he gets no dinner. Though there might have been an implication that she was going to cook dinner later, but I didn't quite get that.
