Did anyone else just want to biff Michelle in the head, not in a mean way mind you, but in a 'snap out of it' sorta way. I was completely struck by her behavior and her tap dance around her feelings. First of all since when does anyone who is supposedly in love with a man, ask the rival for their affections -- whose been trying to snare said man away from you forever -- if they're in love with him and actually mean it in a sincere way? Call me wacky, but usually I really wouldn't care whether or not my 'rival's' feelings were being hurt, but in Michelle's case, she seemed more concerned with Drew's standing than her own. First clue that something is mussing around in that brain of hers, that doesn't include the concept of Michelle and Jesse forever, and ever, amen.

Second little clue, Drew asks her point blank whether she's in love with TWV. Does Michelle say "of course you, silly fool, I'm doing this all for love, so we can be together?" Does she say "I will always be in love with Jesse, whether we're together or not?" Not a chance. What does she do? She sputters around for a minute, says nothing in response and then comes up with some lame reasoning about how she won't deny that when he came into the ER she still felt something. Does she label this something that she felt? Does she ever actually say she's still in love with him? How many people can walk past their first 'love' twenty years later and still feel a flutter of something or other? Does this mean you're in love with them? I don't think so!

Then of course, there's the third, neon-bright clue, that's practically running buck naked in front of her painted with an arrow. Her whole mission now is to take down Carmen and not have Danny get hurt. Before it was a general take "this family" down, then it was waffling about Danny, now it's an adamant decision to find a way to do this so that Danny doesn't get taken down with them in the process, because he's a swell guy who loves her. Well, slap me with a stupid stick, but if Michelle was so unfeeling toward her husband, would she even care that he did? Again, don't think so. Would she not deny falling for him, when posed the question point blank? Which she of course, did not do. She never answered the question about possibly having feelings for him either, insisting only on "he's different." That Michelle, honey, is not a reasonable answer to the question asked. You know what I mean?

And finally one slight, really unnoticeable moment, when Danny asks her what's going on and Michelle turns to him and begins to tell him about Drew finding out about her adoption and cuts herself off from him, mid-sentence and generalizes the issue. Why? Well, in my opinion, because it was a little too easy, a little familiar, a little too much like a real marriage, where husband and wife share these things easily, and it was way too much for her to contemplate at the moment, the natural instinct to act like Danny's wife in every manner.

Dear Michelle, please pick up the white courtesy phone, waiting with that clue on hold!

Tracee -- who thought she packed an awful lot for an "overnight" observation at Rick's house!
