In choosing Kathy’s most D-Listable moments I used the following criteria: they had to be delicious, delightful, outrageous, and unforgettable ... not necessarily in that order. Ms. Place

1. Mom and Dad at Rage

Kathy’s mother and father are the true stars of this show. Not only are they funny as hell; they openly love to drink. When Dad revealed that the wine at Rage cost only four bucks, Kathy’s ears pricked up. "Rage? "she asks. "The gay bar?" "Well, yes," Mom answers matter of factly. "Their hors d’oeuvres are only 3 bucks." God bless these people for being so spontaneously funny. Sadly we learn that Dad has not been feeling well and that he’s been in and out of the hospital. We already know that he died and this knowledge makes these scenes all the more precious.


2. Outing Trent, the Hetero Hair Hunk

Trent is good looking in a Johnny Carson sort of way and so unflappable that he became Kathy’s perfect foil. When Kathy announced, “Trent, you should know, I’m your Bitch,” he barely flinched. Then she followed up with, “94% of guys are secretly gay. How many guys have you blown?” Trent simply sat upright. He did not react when she demanded “F-ck me right now!” which confirmed her suspicions. But when he admitted he didn’t know who Fergie and Jennifer Hudson were, Kathy reluctantly concluded, "He's straight!"

Thanks for the link, Ms. Place.

I just love her parents. The whole Rage thing just cracked me up. My father would never even joke about going to a gay bar. Her parents are just so much fun. It's sad that her father died recently. He seemed like such a wonderful and supportive father.

Yes, Trent is a good looking man. I'm surprised he didn't snap at Kathy. He was such a good sport.

You are right; Tom is Kathy's new whipping boy. I'm still not sure about him, but Kathy sure seems to like having him around. He cooks, cleans, and takes long showers! LOL I'm sure he'll prove to be more entertaining than Matt.

My heart goes out to Kathy. You can tell she was really affected by the divorce. She was always so supportive of him. I can’t believe he betrayed her the way he did. He’s just a terrible person.

Great recap!
