Luckily, that wasnt the case.
Norma Dellacorte is bouncing back more and more each week, and the show is better off for it.
But that silliness is where Burnett thrives, and her awakening drastically helps to clarify the shows zany sensibility.
They decide that the best course of action is to confront him head-on about it.
This kind of reasonable communication feels out of place on a show fueled by mess and secrets.
But now, suddenly, shes an expert at conflict resolution?
Maybe shes learned from her mistakes!
Plus, concealing this information for 20 years has made Maxine lose her trust in him.
How long is it going to take her to destroy this Rolodex?
Give me a Rolodex that needs to be destroyed, and Ill have the job done in no time.
Flush it down the toilet!
But no, she has to be theatrical!
Once again, this show is reminding me ofLegally Blonde!
Accidentally shooting your father while trying to shoot his gold-digging girlfriend?
Somebody call Linda Cardellini!

Especially considering that Robert isnt in a position to fund the Beach Ball.
So whats his motivation for taking such care of her?
Something real, she says as she watches the two of them.
Im the gutter slut?
a shocked Maxine says.
But girl, didnt that wedding invitation have a date?
We should have been able to figure this out much earlier just by comparing timelines.
Its one thing to destroy it, but doing it right in front of her is cold-blooded.
It seems like too neat of a little bow for episode five out of ten, doesnt it?
Or perhaps Robert will nurse Norma back to health enough for her to avenge her rolodex.
In any case, the neat bow shouldnt stay neat for long.

Douglas and Perry seem way too close, right?
Every time the pair of them come up, its always overly emphasized how buddy-buddy they are.
But surely there wont be any more gay revelations in this show?
Invite him to the next charity gala!

Surely theres a more sensual song than Edelweiss that Maxine could have requested?
