This should help his relationship with Amanda.Matt and Dan take a dark turn as Dan punches Matt in the face in a scene that was oddly steamy, not because of the violence but because of Matt's fierceness.Jane. Ugh, whatever.Jake and Alison are having marriage talk, soft launching the idea.Sam and Billy are hooking up. Sydney is selling art and landing herself with Carter. Craig is this quickly a peripheral character. Willing to bet that changes soon.Kimberly is getting the divorce, and making sure Megan and Michael get married. But, Michael is getting suspicious.

5.13 Crazy Love
Well, we can only assume that the episode title writer was on vacation or got involved with Kimberly Shaw because there's no clear indication what this title had to do with the episode.Taylor continues as though she was written as two characters - being oddly obsessive with Peter but normal in all other cases.Kimberly is going to unalive herself joyfully.They did it again - turned Jane's story line, which was the main plot for the week, boring.Sydney brings a little spice, both to Jane and mommy and Samantha and Kyle, but largely, this week was rough.
