Am I a bad person for laughing when the Jaguar wouldn't start?
That was some abyss-deep black irony and humor there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Man, that was brutal. Poor Lane.
There was too much TMI in that episode, I tell you what.
And as a woman who was a pretty independent little girl, I call bullshit on Sally needing her mother at that moment.

Man, I watched about 15 minutes of the episode last night live, realized where things looked to be heading and decided to catch rest on DVR. I'm glad I did given I was in kind of a black mood yesterday evening. That was rough.
What a lot of events for one episode. Sally's adventures in young woman-hood, Don seeming to get his mojo back, and Betty being a more than halfway decent mother all would have been huge talking points otherwise, but Lane just wiped them all away. Poor Lane, indeed.
And the non-starting Jaguar joins the John Deere ride-on mower as the vehicle of choice for horrific comedy.

Eh, I doubt she'd had much preparation, and she knew Meghan wasn't available, I can see going to Betty. Not in as sentimental a way as Betty implied to Meghan, but just to have somewhere to go that wasn't public.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
do you think she knew what a period was? I was actually quite concerned for Sally. I hope Betty told her what to expect in general. I think I would have freaked the fuck out if I was wholly unprepared what was going to happen to me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

She told Betty she got her first period.

I don't know whether Betty told her or what, but at least she knew it was coming!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I pretty much freaked out, and I had a basic idea of what to expect. If I had just run off from my stepmom's house with the boy I loved who had just told me he had told his friends he was going to sleep with me but then affirmed that he didn't think of me romantically and it happened? I would totally have run home to mom, regardless of how I felt about her on a day to day basis. At that point it was all about comfort and familiarity in a scary, transitional time, when the transition was happening in my own body.

Also I it is another step in making Betty three dimensional. If Don who is much much worse than Betty gets to have depth, and even evil Pete has humanity, it is time Betty got to be three dimensional again. (Yeah, we have seen moments, live shooting the doves, and the vacation in Italy. But it says something about how she is written that we find Don more sympathetic - cause he really isn't. ) So I'm glad to see Betty as the the sympathetic mother who provides comfort for once.
