Must be testament to the amazing acting, but damn... I despise that whole scene. It makes me physically squirm!

It's true about the episode, but also true that a death in a family can create some seriously messed-up scenarios and can simultaneously bring out the best and worst in people. When my father died, my sister became an absolute abomination. As did my boyfriend at the time, who accused me of being "distant" and not paying him any attention three days after Dad passed... Conversely, some of my friends stepped up in ways I couldn't have ever predicted, and held me through the really hard times.<br /><br />Brenda and Billy really stepped up too, and Margaret noticed. Nate stepped up too. I totally get his need to attend Bernard's funeral - not just to pay his own respects to his former potential father-in-law, but having lost his own father, he gets how much that loss can uproot your life and I liked that he showed his support to Brenda in this way. Lisa didn't, and couldn't, understand that - most likely because of her own insecurity and uneasiness about Brenda, but also because quite simply, no one gets how it feels when a parent dies. They just don't, and can't, until it's their turn. Nate has a strong sense of the "right thing to do" in the face of death, and he knew it was the right thing to attend this funeral, but Lisa only saw it as betrayal. Now who's acting like an effing c..t from hell, then? I lose more and more patience with Lisa as this season rolls on. Even if Nate is second-guessing his marriage, he's trying hard and Lisa must know that she trapped him. It mush suck for her, but still - she's pissing me off. Aussie Tessnoreply@blogger.com
