  First off, Liz, great update even if there was no McCabe, not your 
  fault.  He was probably walking the dog.  JODIE What the hell are you
  doing?????  I really think that if Warren hadn't been so hung over
  he would have let her have it.  This woman is going to be of absolutely
  no use to anyone at the rate she's going.

  Hopefully, once BJ gets into therapy things will start to improve.  I'm
  looking forward to seeing Stephan Nichols in a kimono (I read this in one
  of the soap mags).  Same mag had a picture of Ms. Penny with a smile on
  her face - she has a nice smile - could we please see more of it.

  Everyone seems to want to protect BJ at this point.  It's a little late
  for protection.  It's seems perfectly natural for BJ to blame Jodie
  since child abuse was Jodie's field of expertise.  I got annoyed with
  BJ's attitude on Wednesday's show but after thinking about it it seems
  very natural.  She isn't facing what happened to her because facing up
  to the abuse would also mean facing up to the fact that she killed Frank
  (we think).  Also, someone posted a spoiler about BJ keeping a, yet another,
  secret.  Any ideas anyone?  Just exactly what was BJ doing during that
  year between the time she left home in Florida and showed up in S.B.?

  I'm with you, I would like to see more of Angela and Katrina.  katrina
  finally showed some life.  As for Angela and Warren he deserved everything
  she gave him and more.

  Of course Agent McCabe's hair is beautifully coiffed and those eyes, as
  Leila pointed out earlier - to die for...
