Loyal readers know that my series-long obsession is the cardboard boxes that are always piled next to the door.

(What are those boxes that have been sitting there for days?

Guys, its Saturday.

Take in the mail!)

But theres something else about your friend coming into the bathroom while youre mid-shower to have a conversation.

I shouldnt say that, though, because West displayed some great boundaries in this episode.

(You couldnt text Danielle from the car to tell her you bailed?

These are all little white lies so that Ciara feels a bit more comfortable in the house.

Im not sure how that goes for Imrul, though.

That is saying a lot because I rememberPrincesses: Long Island.

What is her name?

Its Janet, Ms.

I Didnt Sign a Release So You Cant Show My Face if youre nasty.

Dont get me wrong, if I were a politician, I would run on a Sluts Rights platform.

I believe in ho-ing it up one side of the street and down the other.

Who else is boning in the house that I can talk about?

Oh, Jesse Solomon!

But this summer is different, he tells us.

Theres a pregnant lady here.

It seems destined to head that way.

You could see Lexi bristle when the other ladies brought up Jesses ex-hook-ups.

I am really getting red flags from Lexi, though.

She and Jesse went out to the club until 2 a.m. with her parents.

That is just bonkers.

I dont trust anyone who describes either or both of their parents as their best friends.

Your parents should not be your friends; they should be your parents even when youre well into adulthood.

This is way too close for comfort.

And just what kind of work do they do with her?

But what do I know?

They do things differently up there in the 51st state.

I dont think Canada should be the 51st state.

Obviously, thats such a dumb plan.

Thats just as plain as the lip liner on Lexis face.

Okay, so we did all the relationships; we got to Lexis parents.

Lindsays having a girl.

Sadly, it is not Dale.

I want a whole generation of Dales.

Every baby girl for the next year should be a Dale.

That is the tribute Tinsley Mortimers mother deserves.

She even got him non-alc (ugh!)

What happened after the gender reveal?

Do I need to talk about it now?

Well, it turned out not as wrong as I imagined, but it still wasnt great.

It starts when Paige expresses her dissatisfaction with Kyle at Lindsays all-pink gender-is-a-construct reveal party.

Kyle says, I see youre upset.

You already talked to Carl about it.

As the fight gets heated, we learn some more details that seem to exonerate Kyle.

Paige says Craig told Kyle he was going to invest, then he did it.

Kyle has a different story.

Thats a lot of money.

Kyle then calls Craig a liar, which is harsh, but we have all watchedSouthern Charm.

I have to say I take Kyles side on this one, too.

Still, Kyle should not be rage-texting Paige about any of it.

First of all, none of us should be rage texting.

Kyle says he wants to know where Paige stands on these issues, but it doesnt matter.

(Maybe Paige knows theyre wrong too?)

at the same time.

Paige tells us what shes really upset about.

Paige isnt mad about the texts; shes mad that he put her relationship with Amanda in jeopardy.

Kyle, of all people, should know better than to fuck with someone elses hustle.

She goes to Paige, and they have a crying hug.

They say they dont want to fight with each other, and its a very sweet moment.

She just lets him spin out with Carl skulking nearby on cleanup duty.

In the morning, she tries to explain her position to Kyle, but he keeps interrupting her.

Finally, she says, You dont need to have everyone know where youre coming from all the time.

I love Kyle like Imrul loves vibrating cock rings, but this is exactly the problem.

Instead of explaining himself all the time, why not ask about other people?

Why tell Amanda how he feels when he can ask how she feels?
