And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And Betty seemed disappointed she wouldn't be getting the dirt.

Did she ever find out that her dr was reporting back to Don?

I feel bad for Sally being sent to therapy for the crime of being a 10-year old girl, but Dr Edna at least seems like she'll be a good person for Sally to vent to.

I veer between thinking that Betty was written too one-dimensionally and thinking, "Y'know, I suspect more than a few dissatisfied housewives were like this."

The thing is, last season there was a LOT more to her character than just "shitty mom." She wasn't a likeable character by any stretch, but she had some depth. So it's disappointing to see her written into the pure villainess role in the only ep so far this year where she's had any screentime at all.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Did she ever find out that her dr was reporting back to Don?

yes.

I have a feeling husband #2 is going to die or something.

oh, now that it interesting. Isn't it funny they are STILL living in Don's house?

Did he play one of the gay neighbors on Desperate Housewives?

Yes, I'm pretty sure.

Exactly, le nubian. 1. Doesn't he have his own house? And 2. if he's filthy rich, why haven't they just bought another one?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Isn't it funny they are STILL living in Don's house?

Yep. My "shit's gonna come crashing down" sense is tingling.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm kind of expecting a political scandal to ruin Henry's career, and Betty freaks and the kids come back to Don.

That way you could send her character off in a different direction, and we could see Don grounding himself with parenthood.

Or, something completely else.

It's Betty that is finding "reasons" for them not to move, isn't it? Because they haven't found a place that would be right for the kids, blah, blah, blah.

There's something funny about Don having bought two houses for women he doesn't live with.

Well, whatever happens between Betty and Henry to bring things down, it's probably going to involve him not being the man that Betty thinks he is based on how he has presented himself, i.e., he is as much a sham (to her) as Don was.
