Soul Searching
In a hurry? Read the recaplet for a nutshell description!

Do you have short term memory loss due to years of sitting way too close to the television set, or can you remember way back to last week when it was revealed that Anna put her mother in a hole and made her put the lotion on her skin or she gets the hose again and again for FIFTEEN years? Cause, yeah, that happened. And that lotion really worked because her mama is pretty va-va-voom for being the Aged P and more or less a flesh-wrapped frog. But as I've mentioned before, I think V technology would be pretty bitchin' in the anti-wrinkle realm and Anna's mother proves my point delightfully. Seriously, she looks awesome for someone everyone thinks is dead. I should mention that Anna's mother is played by Jane Badler who was Diana on The OG V. I'm not sure whether this means that Diana is Anna's mother, or if this is just a subtle, "Heyyyyy." (Obviously you are supposed to say that like Jackee, and if you don't know who Jackee is... you have a lot of television to watch.) Since Jane Badler's name is Diana in both shows, maybe she is the same character? Although that would be pretty hard to mesh with the current storyline of The Visitors making their first appearance during episode one of the first season. But, what's a little ret-conning between friends, right?

Anyway, Anna's mama doesn't seem nearly as pissed as she should be about being kept in what looks like, well, a hairy ball sack dangling in the middle of a swamplike room for the last fifteen years. I mean, she's not thrilled to see her darling daughter, but she's not lunging at her throat or aiming her tail at her face or desperately begging to be free or at least caught up on General Hospital. Rather, she's cold and indifferent, but wants to know what's up and why Anna is paying her a visit. Anna explains that she wants to know all about human emotions and how she can rid her crew from the nasty things. Oh I can help you with that, Anna: Step One: Take off human skin. Step Two: Watch reality television until you are dead inside. That's how I do it!

Anna has turned to her mother for advice because Diana has lived in her human skin twice as long as Anna and should know something about human emotion. Diana is feeling a little less than forthcoming, but you really can't blame her considering her 15-years of imprisonment. Instead of telling Anna anything about emotion, she recounts the story of how the Vs discovered Earth. It was when the U.S. dropped the first atomic bomb and the light glittered across the universe and the Vs came to see if they could mate with us. Geez, guys, next time you're horny just buy a round for the house. Didn't you watch Earth Girls Are Easy? Also, thanks President Truman, you basically pimped out the planet with that whole Hiroshima thing. Diana continues that she came to earth, slapped on a skin suit and walked among the humans trying to figure out this whole mating thing as well as the rules to cricket, but both goals proved impossible. Diana warns that any attempts at breeding with humans will result in thinky, whiny, feelingy babies with no respect for authority, classic sci fi or their queen, and a love for musical theater that no V can understand. Anna swears that she will get human emotion under control and that she will begin interbreeding according to plan and on schedule. She hasn't been Employee of the Month around here for two years straight for nothing. Anna turns on her heel to leave, but accidentally mutters that Lisa is going to make a bazillion babies. Diana leaps on that like a dog on a bacon-covered dog poop: Lisa, huh? Lisa's going to have all the babies? That's because you're infertile, right? And there's no time to get to another planet and take them behind the bleachers and knock them up? So it has to be earth, huh? Earth or nothing? Anna doesn't answer, but heads for the hose.
