>I really liked the way Karen & Paige seemed to mesh together
>this episode.

Agreed!  They were very good together -- and it all started with last
week's episode, I think.  And, again, I say...I love the friendship
between Paige and Kate.  I thought it was great when Paige said she 
needed help and Kate came right over.  It's very well done and they're
quite believable as friends.

I thought she looked pretty funny/cute and kept waiting for "Tommy" to 
say something about it -- but he didn't.

She did well in last week's episode with the cassette tape too.  Maybe
the little actress who plays Meg is just starting to hit her stride.  
Oh!  And, Karen smiled!  When she was getting ready to leave the house 
in her PJ's -- that was kind of a cute scene.

Okay, Jackie...I'm won over.  I hope Kate and Gary are together in the 
end.  She's just so gaga/goofy over him, I'll give him a break, okay?

>The best two lines of last night were when Sumner came to the Sumner

>It was a pleasure and none of your business."  Loved it. Great scene.

Don't forget Greg, upon seeing good ol' Mort:  "Mort-ski!"  :)  It just
made me laugh.  And didn't you just love the way Paige got all the dirt
out of Mort-ski?  He's way too easy.  I like the idea (who posted it?)
of Claudia having to marry him so he won't have to testify against her 
in court.  That's just too funny.  And we got to see Greg in action 
again, getting Tom kicked off the case.

Yep...it's your swiss-cheesed brain.  That was most definitely "their" 
song in one of the episodes when they were an item.

Heh.  Well, I'm more convinced than ever that Tom's involved in Mary's
murder.  Any other takers?  :)

>Enough.  For now anyway. ;-)

It's never enough, Jackie...never enough.  I'm so sad to see this show 
ending but...damn!...they're doing a mighty fine job of it.

What's the deal with Nick and Vanessa, anyway?  Why-oh-why didn't he 
just let her leave????  I would have been sooooooo happy.  :)

Back to the Kate/Paige stuff.  I thought it was interesting that they
pointed out so clearly what a hard time Paige was having being "Mom" 
and how naturally it all came to Kate.  I do think (okay...hope) that 
they're setting things up for Paige to get together with Greg -- so 
they can both bumble their way through this parenting thing together.  
It's just too bad we won't get a chance to see it.  :-(
