You would think if he were lying about the textbook, though, he would have lied about being married six times.

That is just to make her feel sorry for him and draw her deeper into his web of deceit!

Do you really think a guy who writes textbooks on Plate Tectonics, listed every college he's ever worked at, and revealed the details about six previous marriages is really trying to hide by not having his photo in the book?

I'd be more worried about his cavalier attitude about his dead wives. "You have six wives, a few of them are going to die", or something like that.

It's turned out to be a great season after some subpar early episodes in my opinion.

I can't wait for the finale but i'll miss this show.

Too bad HBO's seasons are only 13 episodes instead
of the network normof 22-24.

Considering Ruth's family business, dead wives probably don't phase Ruth as much as other women he's courting.

Agreed, but shorter seasons mean better shows because there's a lot less pressure on the writers and production crew.

Great episode! Can't wait for two weeks I only saw it last night and I almost wish I'd waited a little longer to see it.

I did get the impersion that a few weeks had gone by since the last episode. Last time we saw Nate he was parked in Lisa's car at the beach, Ruth mentioned to Cromwell that her daughter in law had been missing for weeks or two weeks.

Also an neat reavalation that Lisa did in fact drink Dr. Pepper, makes you wonder about the year or so they were together how well he knew his wife.

My first thought when he had no picture on the jacket was he was a con man, it helps to have an elaborate history when your on the con. I'm not a widower but I can't imagne a trip to Lowes would be painful, I acutally find it easier to shop their without having to go looking for my wife when I'm ready to leave.

The abortion clinic was scary, four names at time?!?
How impersonal, I thought Claire was wrestling with what to do with the baby in her earlier scene with Maya as well.

I also half expected Lisa to walk in on Nate and the pipe girl (are those pipes supposed to mean she's a man eater? )


As for the finale:


just my 2 cents.

I don't know if there's enough motivation or anything, and I'm probably going out on a limb here - but could we possible see this happen in the finale (or maybe even next season):
