Poor Dahlia is a hot mess swigging cough syrup and popping pills. I never particularly liked Minnie Driver but I think she’s great on this show. I don’t know if anyone remembers a few years ago when a woman was caught on videotape beating her daughter in a Kohl’s parking lot. It was on the news. They got the license plate and found the women and they were Travelers. ---

I remember that story, **Caridwen**. Here’s an interesting article that touches on that: [Unwelcome Stares](http://www.rickross.com/reference/irish_travelers/irish_travelers10.html) Periodically, our local news have reports on Travellers, how to identify them, and how not to get scammed by them. There was an expose locally some years ago that pinpointed a subdivision in the suburbs - interestingly, it was one of the McMansion 'burbs - where a fairly well-known (to police, anyway) Traveller family was based. Instead of RVs, they go about in capped pick-up trucks, and roofing has been the big scam for a couple years now. ---

I’m betting that Ken will off Dale. He’s sworn to protect DiDi and I think he’s very sincere. If he thinks Dale is going to hurt her, he’ll do what he can to prevent it. I didn’t like his character very much until this ep. Now I like him very much. I also thought it was interesting to finally find out how he got so ‘touched in the head’. ---

[QUOTE=Boggette] I’m betting that Ken will off Dale. [/QUOTE] Not if Dale beats him to death first. Interesting thought, though he strikes me as being too incompetent. I don’t think he knows which end of the gun to load. 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=Boggette] Am I wrong? I thought they said it was caused by some kind of fever. [/QUOTE] I totally missed it, too. But that would make sense. They probably don’t go rushing their kids off to the pediatrician the minute the get sick. ---

[QUOTE=Boggette] Am I wrong? I thought they said it was caused by some kind of fever. [/QUOTE] I heard it too. He was talking about something he could/couldn’t do “even before the fever”. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-riches-23-april-07-spoilers/401405.md?page=1)
