oh, now that it interesting. Isn't it funny they are STILL living in Don's house?
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

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?

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.

If Henry really wanted to, he could talk her into moving. Look how easily he talks her into everything else - it wouldn't surprise me at all if he's in some major financial trouble.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That would be interesting seeing Betty going to work and having to deal with those things. It was made clear that there's no alimony from Don so she'd have to eat her pride to ask for help.
I'm surprised they haven't decided to send Sally off to a private school away from home. That's normally how they'd deal with a "problem child" in that era.

“Not dead yet!”

Yep. And the fact that she shrieked, "I wish he would just die!" I think was one of those "uh-oh" moments.

I honestly thought when Henry pointed out he'd already suggested a possible solution, that that's what the solution was.
