So this Sunday’s episode was the first with Pamela gone . . . and they even took her name out of the credits! Boo!

Claudia Joy found herself up against Jackie Clarke, and got some advice from Susan Lucci, who was playing the army wife of one of Michael’s old friends. She gave her some dirt on Jackie, should she need to use it, and told her to get a strategy against this woman. It seems Jackie is the real driving force behind her husband’s career, not him. She knows who to suck up to!

This story aggravates me. I feel like we are back in season one almost, with the FRG squabbles between CJ and the villainies at the beginning of the show (whose name I can’t remember, Roxanne or something like that). This time though it looks like CJ won’t have Denise to back her up, and Denise thinks Jackie is just sooooo wonderful! Roxie seems to see threw her though.

Roxie had to give a party for Trevor’s whole unit, given his promotion, and she accidentally gave them all food poisoning. She did at least gain the respect of one of Trevor’s men’s wives, this German hard ass name Geselle. I liked her, I hope we see more of her!

Finally Roland agreed to hold a counseling group for troubled young boys at the rec center. Giving Joan and the woman who run it don’t see eye to eye, this is going to cause nothing but trouble for Roland’s marriage! Though from the spoilers below, it looks like she and Roland don’t play on the same team . . . .
