In Megan's defense, she's the step-parent and it doesn't look like she's been given or taken the authority to discipline Sally. She told Sally that she was her friend, and that's probably how she sees her role. More like an older cousin.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
a very unsympathetic tragedy because she's bitchy and willing to grab onto the idea that everybody but her is responsible for her unhappiness.
I thought Betty was making real progress during her conversation with Henry (when he was worried that he'd "backed the wrong horse" with Lindsey). She seemed quite mature in that brief moment, telling him that they needed to, and would, solve their own problems.

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

That conversation to me sounded like she was repeating something she'd read in a WW brochure, not something she came up with on her own and actually believed.

I imagine it was something she learned at her meetings. Still, at least she's trying?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's what I thought, too, Jon. She hasn't really internalized it, but she's working on it.
Eta: I guess the part Megan's friend got was on Dark Shadows? Nice timing!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Betty really connected in that moment -- toe in the water and all. She's capable of it. She could be brilliant and fulfilled as a political wife a la Ann Romney if she'd learn to leave her unhappy dollhouse.

I noticed that, too. I wondered if it was some bizarre kind of product placement, or it just happened!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The timing was coincidental. It was the title of the episode too.

I was wondering if the lines she was reading were from an actual Dark Shadows episode and if the Mad Men character had the same name as the actor who originally read them.

and if the Mad Men character had the same name as the actor who originally read them.
I wondered that too because in the credits she had a first and last name, which would be unusual for a walk-on character, but would make sense if they really wanted to tie it to the show.
I guess I could go look up the credits on IMDB...
