ShellSeeker December 25, 2015 Share December 25, 2015 A 1990s-theme prom is thrown for Phoebe when she gets her GED. Also, Abby goes on a second date with Dr. Harris, and Jo's former husband visits Los Angeles to spend time with his daughter. Link to comment
rallymantis December 30, 2015 Share December 30, 2015 Another red-letter day for Jo, who has to have lapped the field for Worst Mother of the Year, and I'm including the "Affluenza" mom in this list. Unbelievable. It actually hurts to hear some of the shit that comes out of her mouth. And Delia! Daddy issues much? You realize you're fucking the same guy you're engaged to, right? I still don't like Barbara, even with this slapped-together attempt to make her likable. Sorry, Phoebe -- Abby could've handled it better, but Barbara offering you the writing gig smacked of passive-aggressive to me. My favorite part was the "Most Likely to Succeed" moment. A sweet (and needed) apology, and a nice way to highlight Phoebe's accomplishment. Delia was right: that whole speech to Abby, about how Abby had always been told she was the "smart one" -- and how her friend needed that moment now. Link to comment
Julia December 30, 2015 Share December 30, 2015 I'm starting to wonder if the point of Jo isn't to make Abby seem likable and a super-good friend and parent in comparison. 1 Link to comment
rallymantis December 31, 2015 Share December 31, 2015 Yes. It's like all those sadistic morons who surrounded Tony Soprano -- suddenly, he's a not-so-bad guy. I presume Jo's reax to her ex is supposed to make the Jabby situation seem like Rhett & Scarlett. Link to comment
JadedNobody December 31, 2015 Share December 31, 2015 Jos a horrible person but she knows it and owns it. Abby thinks she's not and it makes her intolerable! 1 Link to comment

Box305 January 3, 2016 Share January 3, 2016 Well I was watching for Delia and phoebe but now, Delia screwing her boss?? Gees. I just can't with this show. I was so annoyed by Delia in this episode. 3 Link to comment
Julia January 3, 2016 Share January 3, 2016 Seems like a shame Delia went to all the trouble to sabotage the Janeane Garofalo character's career when she doesn't seem to care about having one herself. Only it's starting to look like a pattern with her, being a badass predator where women are involved and allowing herself to be a passive-aggressive chewtoy for men whose demands she resents (first daddy, now Fiancé McGotrox). And now her jerk boss has a hook in her. It becomes clearer every episode why these women (except Phoebe, who deserves better) spend time together. They're all some flavor of overpriced useless. 2 Link to comment
