Do people really leave their umbrellas in a lobby hold all like that? They're bound to get stolen. And that might have been a Burberry umbrella -- although it might have been just a tartan umbrella, since one used to be able to buy a Burberry-like umbrella back in the 2000s, before Burberry started cracking down on unauthorized use of their tartan.

There's still such a bond between David and Jennifer. Poor woman, she really has been through a lot: a broken engagement, her mother getting Alzheimers really young, now her father dying so suddenly. And she probably has another broken engagement coming up, because that fianc&eactue; of hers is a boorish jackass. No wonder she still has feelings for David -- he would never have said such insensitive, crass things.

Charging a toddler for her "share" of the hotel room. Indeed.

Claire painted her apartment the same lime colour as her car. I wonder if she painted her car herself as well.

Innocuous sounding yet x-rated episode title.
