Okay, who did it?  Who took over Coleen's account and what have

I totally agree with this.   Jenn/ Lawrence confrontations are 
always good ones and a clash with Jack would be great.   Not to 
mention Julie!   I remember many months ago when she and Lawrence
"got in each other's faces", and it was great.

You've got to be kidding!   J&J are on ALL THE TIME lately!!   At
least three times a week, and it seemed like more for a while there.
And their scenes seem just as long as everyone else's.  The reason
some of us get bored with them is that in all this airtime NOTHING
happens.   It's just casual small talk and never any plot develop-
ments.   I like Jack and Jenn and I truly wish they'd get a story
I could enjoy.  But lately "boring" is just the perfect word for
them.

This I totally agree with.  I thought the phone call was very funny
and cute.  Jo was great, and I usually don't like her all that much.
Very well done, esp at the end when Jack just held her head in his
arms.   Too funny!   The best laugh I've had watching this show in
weeks.
