After the first episode of this season, there was an issue that I was hoping would resolve itself.

Something small, something inconsequential that was just an easily corrected mistake.

There is no such word as disingenuine.

It does not exist.

I believe the word they (but usually Margaret or Jennifer) are looking for isdisingenuous.

But even that is not the opposite ofgenuine, though the meaning is close enough to get by.

Would you like me to use it in a sentence?

Would you like some more?

Okay, Ill do an adverb this time.

For his part, Luis seems to want to solve the problem between Teresa and Joe.

When Teresa initially calls, the two of them are stiffer than a necrophiliac at a wake.

Wait, Teresa can read?

I thought for sure she went to the Lea Michele Hooked on Phonic Schools for Girl.

(That was mean.

When she asks if Joe wants to come to her housewarming party, he says he doesnt know.

Of course, Joe doesnt end up going to the party.

He says that he doesnt want to be made to feel uncomfortable in his own sisters house.

Well, youre going to, but being uncomfortable is the only thing that will make this better.

What does he think?

I mean, come on.

Teresa and Luis get up on … an outdoor barbecue shelf?

Im not even sure.

They make a speech, and Teresa thanks her chosen family for all being there.

Both Margaret and Melissa, who went stag to the party, think that this is some dig.

I can see how it would be interpreted like that, but this is Teresa.

She went to Lea Micheles Hooked on Phonic Schools for Girl.

She doesnt want to do it anymore.

She wants those aliens to swoop into the crop circle and take her someplace where this argument is over.

Lets talk about some other shit, shall we?

Now that was disappointing.

All correct and justified.

Nothing to say here.

Oh, Jennifer Aydin.

Yeah, not a great episode for her.

Jen is about as reflective as a black hole.

Jen then gets all mad, saying its not alwaysher fault.

He just bought a new Porsche.

Isnt that sending the wrong message?

Well, heres the difference.

Bill worked hard for that money, and you better treat him right.

Justin didnt do anything.

If you want to know what is worse thannepo babies, it is this.

Jennifer says she doesnt want to do anything to make her kid sad.

This is how you raise monsters.

Maybe theyll all be just like their mother, never satisfied.

(Thanks, Prince.)

But you have to make your kids upset.

That is the point of being a parent.

Jen loves her kids, but someone in that house needs to put a foot down.

The rest of the discussion is equally fascinating.

Bill asks if he should be like, Youre right.

Now,in theory, I agree with this.

As a married couple, my enemies are my husbands enemies and vice versa.

The problem is most of us arent married to Jennifer Aydin.

Rachel gets her husband, the mustache destroyer John, and tells him its time to leave.

You sure you want to leave?

You dont want to check her?

I see why Jen wants that.

The fight itself is dumb.

It starts with Rachel and Jennifer hitting it off and deciding to have lunch together.

Like theyre really going to switch sides over this?

Oh, c’mon.
