I noticed the little actress playing Emma was having trouble holding her smile during the wedding (I think she was getting fatigued at having to hold the same expression -- that's hard for anyone to do -- it's not natural to hold a fixed smile for very long). She recovered quickly. What was funny to me was that I was already in the process of trying to come up with some appropriate lines for her when she did it. You know, something like "Oh PUH-LEEZE! My parents NEVER stay married to anyone, so why pretend this is going to last more than a few months?"

Greenlee and Ryan are finally married! Yaaaaay! Let the countdown to them splitting up again COMMENCE!

Here's something I don't understand. If Greenlee and Ryan wanted a small, intimate ceremony with only the children and Jack (with room for Erica) there, why did they have the ceremony on the ConFusion patio? There are so many other options. For instance, the penthouse terrace (although that IS where David was shot and where Ryan has had sex with countless other women). Or Ryan's living room (where he has had sex with countless other women). Or the fugly Fusion office. For that matter, why was it on the patio at all, given that it's the dead of winter? I'm sure there were torches or other heaters there, but it IS Pennsylvania, after all.
Will JAR light a match to see better in the attic? We haven't had a good explosion for a while.

Every time I see Spike with his spiky hair, I think of Baby Zoolander (aka Derek Jr) and his first "look". Rather than give a link to any particular site, if you want to see what I'm talking about, go to images.google.com and search for "zoolander magnum" (without the quotes). Better yet, watch the movie -- it's hysterical!

Speaking of Spike, did you catch him tossing something around while Ryan was holding him after the reception? I'm not sure what it was, but it was small and white.

Hah! Annie's so crazy now that even Emma looks a little freaked out when Annie shows up and beckons her to come with her.

Ryan and Greenlee talk on the phone, giddy because it's their wedding day. I'm not even a minute into the show and I'm already feeling like I might hurl.

Scott chides Madison for working in the Fusion office while Ryan and Greenlee are going to be married down at ConFusion that same day. Let's see, when is Valentine's Day? Oh yeah, 2/14. What day of the week is that in 2011? Monday. You know, a WORKday.

Emma's becoming quite the pro at being a flower girl. How many of her parents' weddings has she attended? Let's see, there was Ryan and Annie (almost), Ryan and Greenlee, Annie and Adam, Annie and Scott and now Ryan and Greenlee AGAIN. How many mother figures has she had? Greenlee, Kendall, Erica, Madison, and now Greenlee again. And I'm probably leaving someone out on one or both sides.

Caleb really shouldn't stand next to Erica while he's in profile and wearing a coat.

If David is so weak, why is he standing in his cell? He said he was sedated, which made him weak, but he wasn't standing up before now anyway, for MONTHS (that we know of).

Why would the South Philly police dept hire Natalia without any references?

Soooo, I guess Natalia won't be around much anymore, if at all. At least she finally got laid first.

I thought Scott was broke and could only afford hot dogs from a stand in the park. Now he's going to go downstairs to Fusion to get some mac and cheese for Madison's cravings. Something tells me that ConFusion is NOT cheap -- it probably costs $8 for a cup of coffee. Scott did say it was Happy Hour and they had free food, but it seems unlikely that mac and cheese would be part of that free food.

At Confusion, the guys toast to Ryan before he takes "the big plunge" into married life ... again. It occurred to me that of the four guys, Tad, Jake, Ryan and Frankie, only Frankie has had only one marriage (that we know of). Considering that they have about 14-15 marriages between them ALREADY, somehow, the phrase "taking the plunge" seems like overkill in that particular circle of friends (except for Frankie). One of the ex-wives, Gillian, was married to both Ryan and Jake. Then Scott joins in. He's been married to Annie, one of Ryan's ex's. Jake has also had sex with Greenlee. "Stepping into" might be a more appropriate term than "taking the plunge". In fact, "stepping into" might be more appropriate on a number of levels.

Looks like Scott and Frankie were just passers-by to the core of Ryan, Tad and Jake. I was wondering why Frankie was there "toasting", considering his obvious anger and disgust with Ryan because of his treatment of Madison.

I'll say it again -- for someone who's been in a coma for several months and could barely stay sitting up mere hours before, David is quite energetic and strong.

I was expecting Scott to take Madison to yet another room at the Yacht Club, despite his dire financial straits, so I was pleasantly surprised when he took her to his messy, furnished room.

For someone who just wants to "heal and rest and spend time with my kids", Kendall sure has foisted them off on other people a LOT. As usual, during a life and death situation, Kendall chooses to be stupid, obstinate and heedless of consequences. And now she's either going to have surgery and/or die and, at the very least, be in the hospital for a while or the afterlife for good. How many times have her children been without their mother for extended periods of time? She's always either in the hospital, in jail, on the lam, at work or running around butting into other people's business.

Does the hospital have more than one chapel? I ask because now there are individual chairs in there now, whereas when Babe died (in JAR's arms), there were benches (all the better to cradle a dying woman). And chapel or not, are lit candles allowed in the hospital?

As mentioned on RATSA by Hallie, on the previous show, Angie said a nurse could have stitched up Kendall. On today's show, repeating the end of the previous day's show, she said an intern could have stitched her up. Continuity, folks!

Didn't Kendall's double have to take Kendall's anti-rejection medications while in prison, considering that Kendall had a heart transplant?

Adam gets a dig in at Ryan by saying that he (Adam) and Annie will have a long and happy marriage, something RYAN never got the hang of. Pot, Kettle! Adam has been married how many times? Let's see, off the top of my head I can think of Althea (off-screen), Brooke, Dixie, Erica, Arlene, Erica, Gloria, Liza. And there are probably one or two I'm forgetting. Ryan: Gillian, Greenlee, Annie.
