Mary Plans Her Divorce

This week's episode brought a whole new meaning to that "If you love someone, set them free" saying. More like, "If you don't love someone but can't divorce her due to your religious beliefs but still want her to find the love of her life, set her free by making her think that you're dead." Phew! I had to laugh at Mary's complete lack of understanding when it came to the Ferguson's marriage Catch 22 and I loved her "I'm already planning my divorce" comment. Oh Mary -- always the cynic. The irony in all of this was Don's decision to fake his death in order to give his wife a chance to be happy with someone she truly loves. He did it because they weren't happy together, and yet, it was the most generous, loving thing he could have done. Many in-love married couples might not have done the same. Faced with her husband's death, Ruth was even inclined to admit that she loved loves him. So, why couldn't these two crazy kids find some happiness?

And while Ruth and Don's relationship was dysfunctional, no one does Dysfunction Junction quite like Mary and Raph. I'm convinced that she's one of those people who doesn't want to be happy in a relationship. It's like she goes out of her way to cause conflict between her and the man that, simply put, just wants to be with her. She has everything between them in constant turmoil, so Raph is having "moments" with her opportunistic sister and then deciding that he can't hang out with her because it will be "best for everyone." I'm not Brandi's biggest fan, but I did feel a teensy bit bad for her when Raph called her and she subsequently burst out in tears. I think that Brandi is one of those women who likes to have men lusting after her, even when one of those men is her sister's boyfriend. I don't think she would have crossed the line, but I feel better with some distance between them. Of course, if next week's promo is any indication, then maybe Brandi should be given free range with Raph. Perhaps, she wouldn't jerk him around the way that Mary does.
