My thoughts:
Catelynn: I really do not think that she and Tyler are good for each other. No, we never see them fighting, but they are terribly codependent. Tyler has a lot of anger as we saw in this past episode, and I really feel that he needs to just get away from April, Butch, Catelynn, and everything else that is a constant reminder of the previous 20 years of his life. Catelynn seems to have very few ambitions other than being a wife and mother. Now, don't get me wrong. I think that being a wife and mother is a very noble calling. However, I do feel that she needs some sort of education to fall back on. Right now, she seems to be waiting for a man to come along to take care of her. Oh, and for the love of string cheese, Catelynn, it is time to stop matching your eye shadow to your shirt.
Maci: I truly hope that Ryan takes her to court and gets shared custody. It is wrong the way she uses Bentley against Ryan. She acts like she never has to let Ryan see Bentley if she doesn't want him to. That's not how it works. Ryan is Bentley's father. Has he always be a good dad to Bentley? Heck no! But, he is there now and is trying his best. In all of the shots we have seen lately, he is there for his son and loves him very much. He deserves better than what Maci has been giving him.
Farrah: I can't stand her. She isn't mature. She isn't perfect. And how dare she complain to her sister about how her parents need to leave her alone when she is at their house picking up Sophia who was with them for an entire month? Farrah lives in a very special world where she never does anything wrong, is the most mature person, and everyone else is jealous of her, is completely immature, and always 100% in the wrong. Until she changes, she won't have any friends, she will not get married, her daughter will be a ***** and make her a grandmother by the time she is 40, and she will spend her life alone.
Amber: Does Leah even have a fighting chance? Her mother is a cracked-out drunk skank and her father, while clearly the best choice, doesn't do too much to help keep the peace. Amber is going to be in and out of jail and rehab for the rest of her life which, I'm sad to say, probably won't be a long one. I don't blame Gary for being upset this episode. Amber gave him ever reason to believe that they were going to be together and then she suddenly has a new boyfriend? Major foul on her part. They had agreed to do the party together so he was wrong for going ahead without Amber there, though. As far as parents go, Gary is a good dad to Leah when you look at it with tunnel vision. However, when you step back and look at how he is as a father when you take into consideration the way he treats his daughter's mother, he loses many points. Leah is the one who will ultimately lose in this situation, too.
And seriously, why does Amber wear those fake eyelashes? They end at a very odd place on her eyelids and they make her eyes look remarkably like those of Janice the muppet"
