"The longer she leaves it, the worse it's gonna look"

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Wow, if Bridget wasn't screwed up before she is now.Although at least she has the sense to confront Riley and Nicola rather than looking perplexed and hiding in her room like people normally do in this situation.Mind you, she's soon reduced to dropping vague hints while Riley looks embarrassed and decides to emigrate.

Lyn transforms from nosey housewife into Machiavellian sociopath. Perhaps the biggest surprise about this is the fact she doesn't actually seem that different.Either an indication of how Paul corrupts everyone, especially now he seems to have forgotten he's got amnesia, or a sign of just how highly strung everyone in this show is.

Talking of which, making Oliver Carmella's confidante is a good move that deepens the bond between them.Marco looks really odd with glasses and seems to have lost his staff management skills.And Susan shows her deluded side by putting on an act for Lyn.

Mind you, today's What On Earth Is He Thinking award goes to Steve for his utterly bonkers actions at the climax.Yeah, Steve, that's really gonna help.
