Doug's presence as an intrusive element also seems to be history, as this week's episode gives us a startling glimpse of he and Diane in bed, startling because the last we saw of them, she was agreeing to go out on a first date. I can't really say I'm surprised with hindsight, because this is indicative of the kind of back-channel skipping that ER tends to do with some of its storylines from time to time. Next time, however, let's see some substance to their relationship please, with some kind of illustration of how they're getting along non-sexually, and some evidence that she's any different from Linda the Pharmaceutical Babe. But it's still not enough. I fear for Mark.
Short end takes the lice.
