Ah, nice to see somebody else who appreciates "The Egg". To me, "The Egg" was an episode primarily about Nicole struggling to climb the social ladder, with the interactions between Anais and Billy being secondary, and because of that, I felt as if the episode delivered. Anais and Billy was nice, but Nicole and Felicity and the general viciousness associated with their dynamic is what sold the episode and made it work.

Interesting that you are not too fond of "The Pest" bringing light to Anais's and Billy's relationship once more. I thought "The Pest" handled it nicely; it went out of its way to display how the loss of such a friend affected Billy, and how it turned him from a joyful and almost naive child into an entitled, self-centered prick much like his mother once Billy learns the crushing reality that he and Anais are not compatible. It brings everything full circle and hammers in the point as to why the Wattersons and the Parhams are not compatible and why the Wattersons should not be wasting effort trying to use them as stools to climb Elmore's social ladder.

You constantly seem to diss on "The Apprentice" (not that I don't agree, though). Do you plan on covering that episode some time?
