Logical lapses and character inconsistency plague this episode. It is so frantic, so full of plot lines that have to be wrapped up nownownow, that the problems are impossible to ignore.

I live for the scenes where the three wives fight in public places, and the throwdown at the fashion show -- with Barb's estranged sister in the background! -- is a classic.

Too much stuff happening in too little time led to unconvincing writing, unsatisfying plots, and unrecognizable characters. It also forced the show to focus on conflict-conflict-conflict.
