I'm not sure that the show really changed direction - although it's been to some odd places and they did get rid of the daughter.

Agreed. I did not like the season finale for last season. I thought it was a complete joke in just about every way. But it seems those events have implications for what is going on this season.

It did seem as though they got stuck so they decided to put in a dance number.

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

you know, if that would help me forget, I would think about smoking a whole host of things.
I don't have Marilu Henner's memory, but that dancing image, particularly since (as ita said) they keep SHOWING THE FUCKING THING, is burned into my skull.
