More Catching Up

Still catching up, with this week's Riches after the jump:

The Riches: Ken is moving in, because it's tradition for the future son-in-law to live with the family leading up to the wedding. It's also tradition for him to apprentice with the father-in-law. So borderline retarded Ken is working at the law office, which obviously can't last. After amusingly stapling himself, Ken ends up bringing Di Di her lunch. When he gets to her school, there's a police search underway, and a bag of pot gets passed around like a hot potato from Cael's friends to Ken to Di Di to the cops, and she's busted, which means trouble. Wayne tries to talk her out of jail, but it's actually Dahlia who rescues Di Di.

Sweet Dee is back, as the plaintiff in an unwinnable case. Apparently she lost her arm to an alligator after Panetta built housing in the middle of a gator habitat. But Wayne (with an assist from Aubrey) finds out she has a shoplifting problem, and Wayne uses that to save the company a lot of money.

Back with the travellers, Dale is even more pissed, if that's possible, upon learning that his father thinks he's a sociopath and that he was going to make Wayne the leader of their group. At the end of the episode he takes his father out into the middle of nowhere and leaves him for dead.

Wayne and Panetta do some bonding in the sauna. I don't think you're supposed to drink in those places. Despite telling everyone that she's dead, Wayne's mother actually left his family when he was very young. And Hugh is actually not that rich. He's "mortgaged up to my eyeballs." Dahlia also did some bonding with Hugh, and she's now his personal assistant. She's acting considerably crazier than normal, a combination of stress and the addiction, I think, but Panetta seems to love the crazy stuff.

Wayne had a few really funny moments, Ken added some laughs with his stupidity, and Di Di had some of her best scenes yet dealing with Ken. She's obviously embarrassed and repulsed, but she feels bad for him too. Another quality episode. I'm really enjoying this show. It's not great, but it's consistently good, with a nice mix of family drama and comedy.
