Not a great episode. The writing on this show is so weak. I guess last week's episode was a fluke. The only real laugh I got out of this was Serena telling Alex she got the lipstick out of the box of things they pull out of anal cavities. Also, I was wondering if we'd ever actually see Alex's husband, so, question answered I guess.

The whole thing with Joyce trying to get in on the office gossip and the sex partner forms was beyond stupid.

I thought it was funny.  The sex partners form was a little over the top, but it made me laugh.

I'm trying to figure out if Serena's scrubs are actually a jumpsuit. It looks like it on some closeups.  I remember way back in the day when jumpsuits were popular, and boy are those a bitch to go to the bathroom!!  Maybe it's a scrub top & pants, but it sure looks like a jumpsuit.

I liked it better than last week, but I really disliked last week.

I like so many of the actors in this. I just wish I liked the show more and that it was better.

I remember in The Office when the boss was upset to be left out of office gossip.  I wonder if these writers also remember.

Serena's facial expression was epic.

I was so afraid that Alex was going to blow off her husband to deal with that patient, so glad that didn’t happen.
