3-11 Recap The Lady Stays Vanished
Death Works Overtime - Lisa is still missing, and Nate is freaking out.

3-9 Recap Botticelli
The Opening - An art exhibit featuring work by Russell and Claire gathers pretty much the entire cast (except for Vanessa, who's still in her blue period) in one place for the first time all season. And when Brenda is the sanest person in the room, you know you've got problems.

3-5 Recap They'll never find the body
The Trap - Come on, Nate. You know you want to do it. And I promise they'll never find Lisa's body! Or at the very least, I promise it'll take them twenty-five years to find it. Elsewhere, Brenda has a new outlook on life, David goes shopping for a new tool, Claire finds a new job, and Ruth gets a new roommate. And as for Professor Olivier, well, he has germs. He deserves to die.

Nobody Sleeps - Ruth rocks the party that rocks your body! Ruth's birthday gives everyone a chance to get a little crazy, Claire's art seminar gives her the chance to find romance with Russell, David takes the death of this week's opera-loving DGDJ to heart, and Nate turns into his father. And who would have thought that all it took to shut up Rico was shaved balls and a pierced cock? Oh, if I'd only known!

You Never Know - Nate resents Lisa because she's no good with a Q-tip. Lisa resents Carol because she's totally insane. Carol resents David because he's blocking her driveway.

2-13 Recap Dead End
The Last Time - The second season finale of Six Feet Under leaves big questions just twisting in the wind like so much pot smoke in an uncleaned chamber. Has Nate gone for the big bus ride in the sky? Can Claire's dance moves, dead father, and detachable limbs earn her a spot at art school? Why do David and Keith only ever have sex on the living room floor? And finally, where exactly is Brenda headed off to, and more importantly, did she pack her bongs and her Golden Globes in the same suitcase?

2-12 Recap Dia De La Muerta
I'll Take You - All sorts of big things happen this week: Ruth breaks up with Nikolai, and discovers she's a grandmother. Claire applies to art school, and says farewell to Counselor George. Rico inherits some money, and reminisces about his father figures. And Billy somehow becomes the sanest person on the entire show, while Keith kan't kontrol his anger yet again. But then Nate finally discovers Brenda's Buttfuck-banging ways, and we're at long last treated to the break-up we've all been longing for so desperately.

2-10 Recap I'm not dead yet! (It's just a flesh wound.)
The Secret - Everyone's relationships are on teetering on life support this week as David and Keith fight, Nikolai and Ruth clean, and Nate and Brenda attend orgies and abort scads of unwanted children. Plus, there's chanting! I've never been so happy.

2-9 Recap Dead as Folk? No. Dead as Fuck? Yes.
Someone Else's Eyes - The master himself graces us with an episode this week, and just like you'd expect from Alan Ball, it delivers exactly the opposite of what you'd expect from Alan Ball. So what happened? Well, Billy bared his butt, and Brenda boffed a bore in a bookstore bathroom. Also, Nate's expecting a newborn, Claire plays with a camera, David needs a dermatologist, and Keith can't sleep 'cuz he's caring for Karla. Of course, things could always be worse. At least I'm not recapping the Teletubbies.

2-8 Recap Zed's Dead, Baby. Zed's Dead.
It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year - Six Feet Under gets all nostalgic on our asses this week, as a gang of bikers shows up to celebrate the life and death of Hell's own Santa on the anniversary of The Late Nate's demise. Meanwhile, in other blasts from the past, Billy is back! Taylor's mom is back! The annual Christmas car crash is back! Oh, and Nikolai is now the new gimp.

2-7 Recap Dead Man's Hand
Back to the Garden - Instead of aces over eights this week, Alan Ball deals out a king jacking off, a single surprise queen, and a quite cold-hearted woman who wears a diamond and probably should be spayed. And since we know he always loves to win the pot, he also shows us that David and Keith are once again a pair, Ruth desperately desires a full house, and Claire's new stud refuses to poke her (Yeah. I know. I'm sorry). So here's your chance to ante up and click the link to watch Aaron give the whole damn thing a royal flush. And that's no bluff.

2-6 Recap The Naked And The Dead
In Place Of Anger - It's a festival of redheads this week, as Ruth's long-lost sister Sarah shows up to shake Ruth's foundations and renovate the blueprints for Claire's bedroom. Meanwhile, Nate and Brenda announce their engagement, David dumps the Little White Sex Dork, and the brothers extract their revenge on the new Kroehner girl by clogging the drain in her hot tub with Nate's chest hair. In other surprising developments, it now appears that the ebb is over, Claire is a closet artist, and Brenda is now offering her clients the occasional "happy ending." Oy. Mike Binder will follow me to my grave.

2-5 Recap Dead women tell no tales
The Invisible Woman - For an episode about someone with nothing, this one surprisingly ends up having something for everyone. Really. No, really. Brenda even dates a hooker, for God's sake! And then she proposes to Nate! Keith kills a junkie! And then he has sex with David! Ruth cries! And she blurts! There's even some oral sex! But wait -- there's more! David dates deliriously! Father Jack is back! Claire dumps DangerSlut! Rico ruins a restoration! And then I tell him to shut up! It's Plot-Tastic!

2-4 Recap Things To Do In Seattle When You're Dead
Driving Mr. Mossback - When Nate and Claire jet off to Seattle to retrieve the eponymous Mr. Mossback, they end up encountering both Nate's past (Lili Taylor as a loopy ex-girlfriend) and his future (seizures, stuttering, and eventual death). Meanwhile, back in L.A., Brenda and her mom set up a stakeout, David takes care of Keith's lovably gruff niece Taylor, and Ruth still can't complete a sentence that doesn't include the words "blueprint" or "fuck."

2-3 Recap Speaker For The Dead
The Plan - This week Brenda insults the world, acts all sultry with a stranger, and generally sulks around Nate just like she always does. Then Mare Winningham drops by to point out that anyone who has conversations with people who aren't there is insane and worthy of your mockery. I know just how she feels. Elsewhere, Ruth "renovates her house" by saying "fuck" a lot, David gets closer to Keith (no fucking, though), and Gabe fucks up. Again. But hey, at least this time Claire calls the Big Black Sex Cops on his sorry ass. All in all, this may have been their funniest episode yet.

2-2 Recap Dead Man Running
Out, Out Brief Candle - It's all about the continuity of small things this week, as we finally meet Trevor The Ex, Gilardi meets his final fate, and old friends DangerSlut and Peanut Testicle head back to school. In other news, Rico needs a loan to buy a new house, Ruth and Robbie get assimilated into the Borg Queen's new collective, and Gabe fucks up. Again. But hey, at least Claire dumps him for it this time. And then in the end, we realize that everything old is new again, as this time it's Nate who has to come out to David, and not the other way around.
