Karen's deposition takes almost no time at all getting amazing: Dominic sends Savi off to NYC to deal with some high-profile clients to get her out of the episode and then immediately calls Detective Newsome to the table. Karen's scary awesome lawyer shoots him down immediately for having a crush on her, and then the Widow Grey gives her own insane testimony, which is quite the performance.

Then Dom calls in Sam Grey, who flips! He ends up saying his mother was out of the house the night Tom died. Karen assumes this is because he is one of those college guys that fucks you once and then testifies against you in a civil suit, but in fact it is because he felt sorry for his mom -- and more importantly, because Karen actually is the kind of cougar that fucks you and then ignores all your calls.

Need I even say that most of the Karen parts of this incredibly, beautifully trainwrecky episode are just various characters gaping at her with their jaws dropped about how completely bizarre and clueless she is about every aspect of her human existence? I mean, obviously that's what happened, but even for this show it's amazing the percentage of this episode that is just people staring at her crazy ass slowly shaking their heads in wonder as she does stranger and stranger and stupider and stupider things.

Finally, in a truly epic flameout even by Karen Kim standards, she disregards her partner Jacob's attempts to provide an alibi (because, lawyer lady has intuited, he is in love with her) and gives everybody incredibly insane speech about how she was in love with Tom Grey and he was in love with her and she prescribed him lethal doses of morphine like it's this tragic love story, but mostly about how his stupid wife can eat a dick.

Meanwhile, Joss has an epic flameout of her own: After Alex probes her about missing sex with men she somehow radically rewrites history to be about getting Alex's permission to sleep with Olivier, so she cancels a dinner date with an old college friend of Alex's so she can go ahead and do that. Moments later, Alex discovers Gallic bite marks all over her body, and the whole thing comes out.

Feeling put upon by conventional bourgeois morals like "monogamy" and "telling the truth to people instead of being a giant asshole," Joss retreats to Savi's house where -- after sending Harry off on a failed fool's errand to find out his paternity results himself, in one of her patented awesome grownup advice moods -- they somehow end up encouraging each other to act like insane fools who have learned nothing from their experiences over the last eleven episodes except more virulent and various methods of behaving in absolutely horrid ways.

Savi commends Joss for cheating on her girlfriend -- because it's the closest she's ever come to having a relationship, much less fiercely detonating one out of nowhere, like all the other crazy bitches on this show are constantly doing -- and Joss, in turn, decides that fighting for the Davis marriage is just dumb and Savi should sleep with Dominic and we should all just sleep with whoever.

But the most important thing is that April and Richard, who have broken up due to him involving himself in her dumb problems like an adult, remember they made an amusement park date with their kids they have to keep. So they take the girls to Six Flags, and then finally they get back together! And they smooch, and it is excellent! That was the scariest ten-minute breakup of all time, but I'm glad everything worked out.

I mean, yeah, the episode ends with Lucy being kidnapped -- by her dead father? -- but she's a cool kid. She can take care of herself.

Next Week: Savi decides to move on with her life and Dominic and whatever bastard is growing inside her, but Harry's failures are still hers because such is love. Something crazy happens with Karen's case but either way she's just going to find some other area of her life to fuck up anyway. Lucy is presumably located or maybe she really can turn invisible. Joss actually thinks Alex will take her back, and I think she might be right. Which sucks for Alex -- and about Alex -- but not for us, because Shannyn Sossamon continues to be a highlight even among this talented crew. I am going to miss these ladies, I really am. Even dumb ol' Joss.

Who, on a trigger warning note, is totally getting assaulted at some point Philip Stuckey-style -- I think by Harry's business partner? -- because God forbid the Joss character on any TV show ever doesn't eventually get what's coming to her (in the form of raping). So, yikes on that one, but I guess who knows.
