    Karen is getting married in this episode. I thought it was sad that she was telling people that she didn't really want to marry him, but they pushed her into it anyways. In the end, her husband said that he actually loved her which made her get cold feet and divorce him. Wow, she really needs to get her act together. Honestly, I love the relationship between Karen and Nick. They're meant to be together, but they can't. Also, Brian Jr's mother comes back to claim him. That's so sad! I felt so bad for poor Brian! The poor guy... overall, solid episode with more interesting stories and great character developments.moreless

    This show just keeps getting better and better. I absolutely adore Brian (can't believe I just said that) so every second of screentime he gets makes me happy. Finally we get to see "the wedding" itself, though of course nothing goes as planned. I found the not-so-slow unraveling of the fresh marriage very satisfyingly written, and seeing Donald Sutherland playing a drunk old man never ceases to amuse me.

    Only downer in this one were the rather dull and obvious Nick-Lisa fights, but those were to be expected I guess. All in all a wonderful and entertaining episode with great acting.moreless

    Another epsiosde replete with irony and inevitability and more engaging character development in the world of the Darlings!

    The main theme of this episode is Karen's wedding. It provides the background for more glimpses into the lives of the main characters on the show.

    No surprises that the wedding goes wrong, but its pulled off in such a cold hearted, unemotional way - which even shocked me... well mildly! Love the way that the writers show here overvaluing of her own celebrity status re: the picture deal! Its cute that she just doesnt in the "real world". I love the way Fr. Brian's problems just seem to revolve around sex and illegitimately father children... more extra-marital issues for him to deal with! Not only that, he seems to flip-flop more often than a woman in a designer shop who has to make a tough decision! And now hes sleeping with the enemy too! He definitely cant seem to learn from his mistakes! Wonder where this is leading? Divorce?! Being left alone, with all that influence but being unable to do anything?!

    I also love the way Tripp still looks at his children with a fathers heart, always hoping for the positives even if he knows that deep down they always do what they want without any thought for the consequences, which happens over and over!

    Im still not sure what the overall point of the show is... the main hook pre-start was for Nick to find his father's killer but there arent enough plots/scenes moving this along. The empahsis of the show seems to have changed to the relationship been Elder and Tripp, which is ok, while the main point of each episodes is to show more of the main characters makeup. Again, this is ok but I hope the writers settle down for the next season and focus on one main plot arc!moreless

    I thought it was a solid episode of Dirty Sexy Money, with Karen doing what we thought she would do when she opted out of the marriage only 45 minutes after getting married in the first place. I really thought Nick was going to get past Karen and her trying to get with him, but with Latricia Darling now helping Karen - it seems that her experience into having a secret lover might be able to help Karen get Nick just as she wants. I am sensing things coming to a full destruction very soon. Tripp hates Simon Elder and wants him destroyed and I have a bad feeling about Nick being able to withstand the continuous pressures of Karen trying to be his wife. I did like the scenes with Brain Sr in them. I think his character really has come around full circle since how we first saw him in the pilot and I hope that he gets to see his son again in some future episodes all though with the way things are shaping up to be I dont even know if he will be able to get that luxery.moreless

    • Brian: Have you two given any thought to your vows at all? Freddy: Well, I'm thinking a golf theme would be nice. You know, something with hazards and fairways and holes-in-one? Karen: No, all we need have and hold, in sickness and in health and a little open bar. Edit
    • Karen: Do what you want. Just keep it short. Brian: See you in seven hours. Freddy: Woo! Amen to that! Because we are in it to win it! Edit
    • Karen: I'm kinda having second thoughts about the wedding.
      Letitia: Yeah, I assumed that was what you meant. Is this about Nick? Is it?
      Karen: Nick? No. No. No, Nick hasn't even entered my mind today. It's about Freddy. He's not exactly complicated.
      Letitia: You're just like your father. You want fairy tale love. You're a romantic but what's really romantic is to wake up every morning and say "I choose you, again. Today. No matter what."
      Karen: Like you chose Dad. Or Dutch.
      Letitia: I chose both. And that was my mistake. Edit
