The picture presented here is a whole lot more interesting.

Then she sees the tuition bill is overdue.

Then the dryer breaks and shes drying the girls sweater sets in her bathroom with the hair dryer.

Her jerkface boss is no help and he denies her any overtime.

We all know exactly where this is going.

Kathleen and her gay boyfriend Greg are struggling through casting an orange-juice commercial.

They cant find a girl who is cute and sweet enough and also acts to kindly the client.

No one wants to play her.

Not even that weird kid in your grammar school would play her in the class production of the musical.

They would just leave that part out because the pigeon lady is scuzzy and weird.

Anyway, Jessica books the gig because this is television and it was bound to happen.

When Kathleen tells her the news and asks her permission, Bonnie has mixed emotions about it.

Oddly enough, no one talks about money the whole time.

Of course they were waiting to reveal it later at the weird dinner party at Kathleens house.

What were seeing here is a much more ambivalent portrait.

Bonnie actually says shell pay her a nickel for everyone she talks to.

I wish we had gotten to this point by episode two!

As for Kathleen, its getting harder for her with her boyfriend Greg.

Even a half-blind old woman at 50 paces could tell which team this guy plays for.

(In this metaphor its apparently the Portuguese World Cup team?)

Kathleen, you in danger girl!

My favorite part of the whole series though is Diana.

They should make a beer commercial aboutthat.

I like that this week we got to see a bit more of a human side to her.

In Dianas case, the patriarchy is coming from inside the house.

There are the things I want to see more of.

Well those, designer caftans, and hot guys grinding their junk in rec rooms.

All of that stuff.
