And Dinahs not the only one with her financial future on her mind this week.

Its likeThe Bling Ringif Alexis Neiers was a pacifist.

Meanwhile, Maxines other new friend, Robert, is spending the funeral entertaining a date sort of.

It turns out Norma didnt know about Robert after all, so whats the story there?

Is this really Normas one relationship where blackmail isnt involved, and if so, why?

Meanwhile, Marys mission is the episodes highlight.

Its perhaps the best exploration of wealth and charity in the show thus far.

Mindy Cohn should be in everything.

Normas mission this week is even more violent, as she seems intent on killing Maxine.

Plus, who would suspect sick, old Norma?

Boo, Norma says.

But this week we find out that that actually happenedbeforethe wedding, and she finally comes clean to Douglas.

Maxine is a very interesting liar, because all of her lies are alwaysalmosttrue.

Like being a Dellacorte: sure, kinda.

Or a pageant winner: yes, but with a fake name.

Or living in the mansion: no, but eventually.

Who says chivalry is dead?

Its remarkable how close of friends these two have become so quickly.

But is Maxine the bad guy here for turning in Roberts prince to save her own skin?

Perhaps, but at the same time, she could also have been saving him from a con artist.

Im not seeing enough Leslie Bibb.

Thank God her turn onThe White Lotusis on the way.

Why is nobody smoking?

Sarah Paulson could never.
