I've watched this episode many times now, and I've made my peace with a lot of it. One of the main things that still bothers me and will continue to bother me is that in this episode the writers (and all the writers are responsible for this, not just Gene Stupidnitsky and Lee Isuckenberg, because they all write the stories together in that little writers room) seem to be laughing at the craziness of Jan instead of having her craziness be a part of her complicated character. I hate when people simplify complicated women by making them out to be "just crazy," and that's what I feel they have done

Oh, I agree with you totally. This review I did took me like four times over to get it right. I didn't know how much I should dissect of it or not dissect. And by this final draft I was just tired of the whole thing in general. I love what you said here:

EXCELLENT point. I fell in love with the character of Jan because she appeared to be a very strong woman but underneath everything, she was actually pretty vulnerable. Maybe somebody should explain to these writers that vulnerable doesn't equal insanity.
And... I'm back. First of all, that very Seinfeld episode is on RIGHT NOW. Or just ended. How weird is that? I don't even watch that show but my roommate had it on

Oh man, this was a great review. Loved it. Worthy of being a review on TWoP.
Where do I begin?
The party starts out halfway normal...then no, not really. LOL. Yeah. Cause what's so normal about starting the appetizers and tour before your only other two guests arrive. Ha.
Oooh, Bonfire, don't you just wanna go have nasty sex with that scent all around ya? At least that's what I think Jan wanted to do when she eyed Jim up and basically said "Sniff this!"
Ooh, and you forgot, she made the noise to go along with the devil face. Hee. Or at least a voiceover did.
Word. How do they survive a weekend together? This was actually scary. Jan's laughing tagged along with her glare, red shirt, and fire place going in the background made me fear what happens to Michael when they're alone.
Just a few more things here, I promise. Trying my best to make this a quickie. Alright, that's enough. I know that's what she said. She says a lot, okay? She's really kind of a big whore if ya ask me. Either that or she's just got a really trashy

Check out the answers on Officetally from Gene and Lee. Apparently there was only pictures of Jan with OTHER MEN on the walls, etc. What? That's ridiculous.
That is SO ridiculous. WTF, man! I think these guys were in the candle lab too much. See they throw a curve ball like this and then it makes you wonder what the real intentions are for M/J.
Was this just to be funny?...I'm not laughing. They could've just went along with it and not uncovered the secret -- we couldn't see the pics that close anyway, but now it tarnishes their home. Who knows what the intention was.
Did they just not want to bother having M/J pose for some pics? I mean they could've just used shots from previous episodes.
How dumb. Wish I didn't know, but glad I do I guess just because I love the details.

So we also know that Hunter and Jan slept together (more than likely). I'm not liking where they're taking Jan, even more than before.

I didn't like how the writers tried to cover up their complete mess of Jan in this episode. Yes, we know that this occurs right after "The Deposition." Apparently, I think you [they] forgot.
