I thought it was pretty much business as usual, though the unexplained absence of Nana did make things less ugly and hostile. Props to Goldie for soldiering on and imagining her life post-baby being fab and not fretting for a second about that custody hearing we once heard about. Nene continues to astound with the way she says everything in her sing-songy, yet almost monotone delivery. Unless her character is supposed sound perpetually astonished. If so, give this lady an Emmy!
Speaking of plot points that turn with the wind, I like how Shania goes from being precocious and wiser than everyone else to being borderline moronic when the story calls for it.
The "spiritual" aspect of this episode was equally ridiculous, I thought. And for someone whose Judaism seems to be very important to him (at least for this episode) I found it strange that David was willing to step back and let Christianity be the model for their child's "spiritual" life.
And Robbie, I can't speak for you, but John Benjamin Hickey crossed that divide for me with The Big C. There was something about his dirty, slitchy, mentally ill brother character that made look at him with new eyes.
