Eleanor talks about how she doesn't really like nurses, other than Jackie -- And, um, Zoey, of course -- and certainly not Kelly, even if everybody else does.
Zoey: "The ladies love Kelly."
Taffy: "Yeah, well, we are not ladies."
Zoey asks if they honestly don't like Kelly, and they have to get vague really quickly, and then they think about killing her some more.
PURGING THE JUNK
Gloria summons Fitch to watch her replace her phone, so that he will understand purging, but she can't really work her new phone either. Coop asks her for a hug, just a hug, no small talk, gargoyles everywhere, and calls her Gloria into the bargain, and she sends him off to find Thor to fix her phone because he is amazing.
Coop: "You know, there are lots of people that would hug me."
Gloria: "Then find them. And hug them."
NO LONGER CATS & DOGS
So, the secret life of Kevin Peyton is that, after that night where he threw a shit-fit and she left him on the side of the road and Eddie had to go pick him up on the motorcycle, next morning he packed bags for himself and the girls and took off. And it wasn't until he got pulled over that he realized he was acting crazy. (Not that he was acting crazy.) Dan Lauria tells him to have an affair, and Kevin says no, and it's the longest conversation.
Over in the ER, Kelly is or is not flirting with the tweens and Jackie tells him to get the fuck away from them and go deal with PCP guy. It's an odd little moment -- is she clued in to something real or what? -- and he tells the girls some kind of nasty secret mean thing about Jackie, which maybe confirms it, but the next thing that happens is really bad:
The PCP guy freaks, knocks Eleanor on her ass, and she spends the rest of the episode out of it and post-traumatic and in need of a hug. Maybe it seems like more a big deal than it really is because she's such a great actress, but it is hard to watch.
MY GIANT
Thor explains all the many functions of Gloria's new phone, and in the middle of things who should call but old Lily Chung, which sends Gloria into a tailspin.
Gloria: "Last night after one too many vodka gimlets, I called Lily Chung twice -- maybe three times -- and left a series of increasingly embarrassing voicemails."
Thor: Is of course deliciously familiar with the drunkdial.
Gloria: "She makes me feel... Unaccomplished. She's my Voldemort."
