It means Im having a breakdown!

It is one of the only times in the whole episode that Kelly is remotely correct about anything.

So Ms. Windham-Burke walks into a room thats ready to pounce on her.

But the tension in this hell-house permeates throughout the rest of the trip.

Ginas response in a confessional?

That the vow renewaldidfeel kind of sterile.

Meanwhile, back in the OC, things take a turn for the worse: Shane is extremely sick.

How could it not?

Its impossible not to feel for Emily, and to miss the presence of a healthy, wisecracking Shane.

Why would she say this, except to be cruel?

I actually cant fathom.

These are unrelated things!

But the real nightmare comes later.

Thats what you call an intuitive response to a murder house.

It’s a tired, cliched way to play dumb about that argument at this point.

She compares it to tearing down the Colosseum, if you’re free to imagine.

The mood on the trip never lightens enough to feel like the great let-your-hair-downHousewivesvacays of yore.

But lets go back to Emily, who is breaking my heart in the scariest story of the week.

Every hour is like a fight to live.

I wish thiswasa horror movie.
