First, a couple of quick replies to others' observations:

1.  Louise Dombrowski (the flashlight dancer) was played by Emily Fincher, 
*not* Sherilyn Fenn.  It was in the closing credits.  Besides, she was too
tall and skinny.  (Sorry, Bri)

2.  There was no direct credit given for Lucy's sister.  I don't think it
was Sheryl Lee, tho.  There were two women listed as guest stars that I
didn't recognize, Kathleen Wilhoite and Jane Greer.  I'm guessing that one
played Norma's mom and the other was Lucy's sister.

3.  I've been wrong before.

Now, on to other stuff.

1.  Jerry's still one of my favorite characters.  Even though the flashlight
dancing went too long, that whole segment humanized Jerry a bit.  ("Lord,
what's become of us?") I agree with others who've said that he's the brains
behind the Hornes...even if he was last in his law school class.  Is it just
me, or does he look a lot like a squirelly version of Dennis Hopper?

2.  Lucy's sister has *got* to be related to Andy somehow.  "...they thought
it was my bladder, so they checked me for an infection...I hadn't been
*near* a rusty nail."

3.  Leland's damn spooky.  Big news, I know, but they I just don't see how
they can keep this storyline going much longer.  The gaffe about dropping
Maddy off at the bus station should give him away.  Even Doc Hayward should
be able to figure that Maddy died the night before.

4.  When Mike clubbed the cop, I jumped about 5 feet.  I should've seen that
coming, but then, so should the cop.  BTW, I checked last week's tape, and I
couldn't see Leland anywhere around when Mike freaked out.  Maybe he was
upstairs?  Maybe Ben had been close to Leland/BOB earlier.  I mean, Mike 
could sense that Ben had been near BOB when Mike saw him in the cell this
week...

5.  Who was surprised that Pete loved Josie?  Not many, I'd guess.  But if
he's  gonna blackmail Ben, he's gonna have to get in line.

6.  Why the hell can't Cooper see Leland as BOB?   In the scene with the
golf club, the show makes it obvious that BOB is around.  Maybe BOB can
somehow control whether or not he's seen as BOB.  Maybe Coop's not as gifted
as we thought.  (Heresy?  Maybe.)

Overall impression:  Even though not a lot happened this week, I still find
that it gave me an emotional overload.  Foof.  Damn.  I'm pissed that
Maddy's dead.  I think that they should have had a picture of Maddy and
Laura together under the final credits, rather than the usual Laura picture.

Bye, Madeline.
