Okay, we get it - these episodes are getting a bit on the long side.

That said, Melrose Place is adding layers of depth and content and sudsy trashy soap.

This week alone, we find out that Megan Lewis has a magical blouse that reveals all Michael needs to know. Kimberly is dangerously sick. Mary has yet to put together the connection between those two things.

Sydney continues to scamp about, while falling in love with Kyle and treating us to a wonderful season where a naked man runs out of her apartment.

Peter and Amanda continue to bounce back and forth between fighting, bickering, staring longingly at the phone, and making up. Just in time for Taylor to reveal that she is actually Peter's former sister-in-law.

Matt is going to hook up with his therapist so that's fun. Unrelated, Teege is going to start the arduous task of becoming a therapist.
