Episode Report Card Couch Baron: A+ | 548 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Women On The Verge Of Kicking Some Ass

Peggy pitches the "Night To Remember" idea, saying that it holds "the wholesome promise of the kind of hand-holding that eventually leads to marriage." The women on the committee disagree, however, with one of them saying she doesn't like how close the boy and girl on the poster are dancing. "Leave some room for the Holy Ghost." Heh. An oldie but a goodie. Peggy reluctantly accedes to Father Gill's idea of them doing a box step, but when the objections keep on coming, Peggy's eyes go dark, particularly when Father Gill wonders if they could "try something else," and the "someone else can easily be arranged" is evident on her face for those of us who know her well. As the meeting breaks up, she and one of the committee members ask to speak to Father Gill, but he tells the latter he'll talk to her tomorrow, so the women file out. Once they're gone, Peggy tells him that he didn't have to agree with the committee -- in fact, he's not supposed to, given that he asked her to do the job based on her expertise. He decides to agree with her now, which seems both wise and easy given that the committee's gone, and that's enough to mollify her. She apologizes if she was disrespectful, claiming that she's very tired, and he somewhat awkwardly tells her that they'll both be prepared next time. Heh.
Joan's at home reading scripts when her fiancé comes home with some take-out, noting that the table's not set. Joan apologizes, saying he came back quickly, and goes to get plates. While she does, she asks, in regard to an apparent future plotline on As The World Turns, if it's possible for a person to come out of a coma with no memory of who they are. If the tequila's strong enough, I'd believe it. He tells her people don't often come out of comas, so she smiles that it's probably ridiculous, then, for such a person to have an accent he didn't have before. No more ridiculous than Madonna doing it without the coma, no? Dr. Fiancé wonders what's up with all the reading, and she tells him it's part of her job. Dr. Fiancé smiles: "I thought you just walked around with people staring at you." That's a big part of it. He wonders what happened to her enthusiasm for getting a house in Glen Cove, but she counters that he told her to stop looking. He says that's just until he finishes his training, but regardless, she should be watching those shows instead of reading them, "with a box of bonbons on your lap to soothe your cravings." Now, this show has fooled me before, but given that Christina Hendricks has been wearing so much padding this season that there's a line item in the wardrobe budget for it, I'm going to say this means she's pregnant. She tells him reading the scripts is a hoot, and he says that it's okay, then. Joan: "I'm glad you approve." They seem to be doing well enough with this little dance, but given that it's Joan, I think that if they looked down they'd see they're on a knife's edge. But for now, he sends her to get him a glass of water, which she does without complaint.
