Picket Fences S2 E6

“Dairy Queen”

Breasts become a handful in Rome, Wisconsin.

The city hires a model to promote milk using her sexual nature. Turned out, she was being abused by her husband. She was also a woman pulled over for speeding years before by Jimmy.

This whole storyline was designed to cause some issues in the marriage of Jimmy and Jill, but that just did not work for me. I had little concern with the model’s storyline. Her husband did punch a cow and knocked it out, but otherwise the abusive husband story was not

Kimberly’s story was about breasts as well. She ran an experiment by wearing falsies and realized she received more attention with bigger breasts than she did before. This led to her beginning to think about the possibility of getting breast implants.

This, of course, freaked Jill out, who was already having some issues with Jimmy. Kimberly called in Lydia for another opinion.

This episode did not feel like much of anything to me. The story with the model and her abusive husband was too sparse to be worthwhile and it did not feel organic.

It also seems as if the show has completely forgotten the entire Douglas Wambaugh is a rotten person arc from two episodes ago. He was here backing the abused model and no one even made any references to that apparently character defining moment.

Sounds as if we are gearing up for the next Thanksgiving episode, which was mentioned a couple of times during this show.
