3.17 They Shoot Mothers, Don't They?

What on earth was with this title choice?  I mean seriously, at least title it: "SPOILER ALERT: They Shoot Mothers, Don't They?"  Is this a reference that we don't get?  What is happening?  Have they run out of ideas?  

Join us this week as we dissect a DOUBLE episode that has QUADRUPLE the Matt that you're used to and only a QUARTER of the Jane!  Win/win/win.

Amanda survives a drugging and another drugging and attempted murder before reclaiming her job from Whitley, Michael grows a conscience and Matt shows a devious side.

Sydney takes on a roommate after being forced to CONGRATULATE AMANDA on winning her battle with the rent control board allowing for a 33% increase on Sydney's rent.  Yikes.  Sydney's new roommate is, of course, her new spiritual spouse.  RED FLAG RED FLAG RED FLAG all three are ignored.

Alison gets engaged again only to undo it when she sees her fiance sleeping with another woman.  "But babe, she's just some bimbo!" doesn't win over Midwestern Alison and she throws the ring back and tells him to GIVE IT TO THE BIMBO.  Now that she doesn't have another boyfriend, that means she can't possibly be dating Billy.

And the main event.  Jo goes to the lake to retrieve baby Austin/Michael Jr, only to be SHOT IN THE BACK WITH A SHOTGUN by the baby's grandpa/daddy and then decides to give Austin up for adoption so that the writers can get back to what they do best - which is not figuring out how to script a baby.

This week y'all - it was a week.
