I actively cheered and lol'ed when Karen got plowed over.

I knew it had to be Mandy, but watching her impassively clean the car afterward was fucking hysterical.

In too much shock to be happy over what happened to Karen. Did not see that coming at all.

That was really funny, it got better when Mickey showed up and calmly told her how to take care of it.

I figured Mandy was behind the text and I figured she was just going to beat up Karen at the park. I didn't see the hit and run coming. Pretty brutal. I didn't see the preview for next week but I'd be surprised if they killed Karen, maybe she's in a coma or something. I feel bad for Sheila though, poor woman can't catch a break.

Good episode this week. Besides the Karen/Mandy storyline does Fiona not know any better than to leave pictures of dongs up on her work computer? I know she may not have had any office jobs in the past, but common sense should kick in at some point. at Frank's new situation.

Agreed on all accounts. I even loved her brothers totally chilled reaction.

The hit and run was a surprise. I knew it was Mandy but I figured she'd just shoot Karen.

As to Lip and MIT that was a pretty good segment and points out what is wrong with higher education.

FWIW, I did my undergrad at MIT and that is actually pretty common. They have expediency criteria for the truly "gifted" students (ie-ones with eidetic memory and whatnot). This is why a lot of theoretical grad students get their bachelors in 1 yr.

Loved Mandy hitting Karen, kinda hope she dies cause i cant stand her. But i have a feeling she will be in a coma for a while, and then next season she will wake up with amnesia.

Maybe Karen will have brain damage and become a child-like person which will allow Sheila to make up for the mistakes she made originally raising her.

i wonder how fiona will screw this up. Turns out she has a talent for sales and is very personable, stands to make solid regular money, messes up and is back to stealing copper pipe and boilers from abandoned buildings to pay the house tax.
