2x13 There's Something About a War

What I think is the coolest thing about Susan's arc is the scene where she goes to the hospital after all the argument she had with Ron during the date. Susan learned from the last humiliations she suffered at the hands of Karl and Mike (because like it or not, it was absolutely humiliating for her to chase him down the street in a wedding dress, begging him to stay). This time she decided that the guy was the one losing somthing, period. Even though I thought she wasn't right in the discussion, it's nice to see that kind of coming of age.

But about Ron: he's soooo handsome. And I thought Susan's concern was greatly exaggerated, and for one reason only: he's not inexperienced. It was only the first time he had spleen surgery, but he performs other ones, perhaps even more complicated than hers. And if he says it's a similar surgery to others he's already performed, then it's true, right? He's the doctor... Anyway, I think it's cute when he says that he sent flowers, chocolates, etc., to her house.

I have no words for Danielle. Man, WTF. And what a desperate act. Handing over your mother's and brother's secret, something that can put both of them in jail, just because you're in love with a guy you JUST met?

Anyway, I LOVE the reflection that this episode provides on maternal matters, about a mother doing everything to protect her child. I think it's brilliant that Betty says that, that it's in the nature of normal women to do extraordinary things when they become mothers. What she did is no different than what Bree did. We know that in this Betty case, that girl Melanie Foster, who was found murdered, is involved. And that Caleb was accused. Caleb, as you've noticed before, isn't completely right of his ideas... And Betty protected him. Like Bree who covered for Andrew – and this one is just really mean. Well...
