Episode Report Card Potes: A- | 11 USERS: B+ YOU GRADE IT A Chuckalina Full of Sparkles
By Potes | Season 5 | Episode 13 | Aired on 08.25.2013
While Melissa still complains about being sick, the others discuss how the medium was (pun alert!) dead on with Rich and Kathy. Kathy, Rosie and Teresa discuss how dead dad #2 was talking to Kathy. Apparently when their dad was sick, she talked to him and gave a sort of tribute for how he made her the woman she is as an adult. She told him she loved him, and he gave her nothing profound or personal in return. She wanted him to say that he loved her, and it hurt that he didn't. Teresa starts to say that he was old-school, but Rosie interjects to say that her dad gave her a lot of what she needed. One time he grabbed her face gently and kissed her all over and told her how much he loved her. Kathy didn't get that, and Rosie feels bad about it. It's because she married Richie, right? Kathy is resentful, and feels like she missed out. Now she has some kind of closure, I guess? She encourages Teresa to let her dad she her and Joe reunited while he's still alive. Rosie expresses her love by saying that if a coyote came after the others right now, she'd jump in front of it for them. Lucky coyote.
The next day, Melissa is coughing and being miserable and says she's never felt pain like this ever. She takes some sort of pill, complaining about how big it is. This of course makes Joe want to bang her. "I'll catch all her diseases," he says. How romantic! There's a group hiking excursion, and Joe feels like he has to go rather than hanging with the hacking Melissa. He asks how she's feeling about the Teresa situation. Melissa would actually trust Teresa more if she'd just admit she did some fucked up things, whether or not Teresa actually did them.
Wilderness guides Conor Elridge and Deborah Oslik meet with the group minus Melissa for a day of hiking. May they fare better than the poor activity facilitators in the Adirondikes. The Jersey-ites are NOT making it easy on them, given how they hate to commune with nature. They come across horse poop, which leads to the enlightening knowledge that Juicy has chronic mushy shits. Teresa says she's an outdoorsy person, as evidenced by her favorite activities of hiking and…um…uh…laying out in the sun. So, great. The hike is very dry and hot, and everyone wonders what poor, sick Melissa is doing back at the resort. The answer is, she's laying out by the pool. She interviews that she was in so much pain that she couldn't take a sip of water, as we see her lounging and drinking a glass of water by the pool. Vitamin D therapy?
