Seeing things on this show that make me think that these people have done lost their livid minds seems to be a weekly occurrence.

Let's take the "Fox is not really sick" reveal. Oooh. Nice going Ivy. It's high time someone pointed out just how pathetic Fox really is. Pretending to be dying so that Kay will stay married to him is too sad for words. But then Kay makes a deal with Julian to remain in this joke of a marriage if he manages to throw some Crane weight around and get Miguel sprung from jail. So when the deal went down, how was Julian able to threaten to get Spike to recant his confession, thus sending Miggies back to prison? Okay, let me see if I've got this straight: Miguel was tried and convicted of God-knows-what. He gets the book thrown at him and ends up behind bars. Spike comes forward, thanks to Julian, and 'fesses up to the hit and run himself, which is ironic because he is the actual culprit. The charges against Miguel are dropped and he's home free. So I ask again, how is Julian able to threaten to send him back to prison by making Spike recant his confession? Don't we have something in this country called double jeopardy? It means you can't be charged with the same crime twice. So even if Miguel really did try to turn Fox into road kill, the case against him is officially closed and Julian is out of luck. Now let me point out how pathetic Kay really is. She must've wore herself out bouncing from one bed to the other so she can reap her harvest too. Oh and leave Miguel out of this? Surely ye jest. He's a lovesick moose, just like his older brother before him. People, get a freakin' life, will ya?

Speaking of getting a life, Theresa is another one that has me saying, "Just a darn minute!" Hearing her talking to Pilar only confirms the worst about her. More than Luis being put to death, or anything the blackmailer has done or may do to her or her family is nowhere near as important as Ethan. It's Ethan twenty four hours a day with this woman. She doesn't care what happens to anyone else. She's too worried that Ethan will hate her when he learns her "big secret," and to me, that is so outrageously selfish that I want to scream. Not everything is about you, beeyotch! And what of the secret? Ebrat is Ethan's son. So flocking what? To me, that is not exactly the biggest deal on the planet and it's not like you've known all along. You learned this information yourself not too long ago so out with it! If Ethan runs screaming from the room then he didn't really love you as much as you thought. Here's a cheap shot: If you loved Ethan as much as you say you do (and I believe it, seeing as how you can move three feet in any direction without him) then you would trust in that love to get you through whatever comes your way, including this secret! Sometimes I seriously wonder what nasty thoughts are in that girl's head.

But there is one thing I have never been able to accuse our Harmonyites of and that's having any type of brain power. Nope, the majority of these folks don't have the sense of a box of rocks. I give you Exhibit A: Ethan. Ethan confronts the blackmailer in Sheridan's home and does what? What's that? Anyone? Oh I remember know. He did NOTHING. He stood there and stared in his irritating Ethan manner while the Freak daydreamed about doing the tango with him. Oh my God, tell me you're not serious. A show of hands for anyone watching these scenes and yelling, "Take off the damn mask!" Is learning the identity of the Freak falling fast down the list of priorities around here? Ethan had chance after chance after CHANCE to take off that stupid mask and instead, treated us to his patented deer-in-the-headlights look. If anyone can serve some some serious contrived nonsense, it is this show.

And speaking of the Freak, someone jumped the gun and revealed It as Pretty Crane. It's another "hold it!" moment as I wonder, if It is Pretty, why did it discuss Pretty with Sheridan and refer to her in the third person? Oh wait, I forgot. This is the show chock full of plot devices. Silly me. Next we see the Freak confront Eve. So now you're telling us that This is the Evian child? Hold it. During one of It's too-numerous breakdowns, It mentioned that he/she was a product of incest. Eve and Julian are not related so that leaves It out as their missing child. For crying out loud, just tell us who this blackmailing screech-monster is before you really dig yourselves into a hole the size of.... Harmony.
