Schemes and Disses

 Ronan hatches a plan with Phyllis- Nov. 14 preview

Strange Bedfellows- Ronan asks Phyllis to be a "rat" and do some information gathering for the Jenkins murder case. Uh, ok. Ronan shouldn't trust Phyllis as far as he can throw her. He shouldn't tell Phyllis secrets and then actually expect her to keep them....'cause she's allergic to that kind of thing.

    Meanwhile, Avery volunteers to be Nick's lawyer to "take the heat off" him in the investigation. I guess the phrase "conflict of interest" means nothing here.

Krazy with a "K"- Patty is back and still psycho. Why in the world, by the way, would Jack NOT change his locks after the last encounter with her? I say it won't be long before Patty creates some sort of life-threatening "accident" involving Jack's girlfriend.

The Royal Kiss-off- Devon disses his father in royal fashion by keeping it real with Ashley-- he's not attending the wedding. Of course it would be interesting if Devon showed up anyway (as Abby's "plus one," of course).

    Unknowingly following his son's example, Tucker dismisses Kay. Also not surprising, but I think Tucker needs a "check-up from the neck up" if he thinks Devon will warm up to him.

This Episode's Memorable Moment: Adam's conversation with Patty. Michael Muhney does a bang up job of emoting, especially after Patty walks off. Just by looking at his face, you can hear Adam thinking, "Why did I ever break that looney out of the looney bin?"
