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

OMG, I hate whatsername from the Closer. What does Fritz see in her? She's horrible.

Trust my rage

I tend to enjoy the Closer but her relationship with Fritz drives me nuts. He is so nice and puts up with so much shit and she only seems to care when he calls her on it.

They're having a marathon leading up to the new (to us) season

I missed the last couple of episdodes of the season. When's the marathon going to be on?

her relationship with Fritz drives me nuts

One of the things that really drives me batty is the way she sits there drinking her honking big glasses of merlot in front of him. It just seems that it would be a small enough gesture for her to not drink alcohol in the house, given that he's an alcholic.

The neuroticism, the cancelling of everything...normally I'd be pissed at Fritz for going behind her back with the money, but at this point avoiding any conversation seems perfect self-preservation.

did you see the episodes where the alcoholic thing came out? They talked about that.

I thought I'd seen all the episodes, but I guess I missed those conversations. I'm guessing Fritz told her to go ahead and drink?

Yes, he'd originally told her that he didn't drink because he was allergic to alcohol. When she found out about the alcoholism, she offered to stop (and did for while, as I recall), but he told her that the not drinking made him feel more awkward.

Now I remember! Isn't that around the same time that Pope offered to help her find lower car insurance rates, and then couldn't because Fritz's DUIs came to light? And then Brenda accused Fritz of lying to her?

Trust my rage

That was all the same episode.

That's how I remember it. Mind, she's been terribly insensitive around the issue on other occasions, but that one I think is not on her.
