The slightly judgmental and standoffish streak.

Sometimes the hardest part of being a teenager is the failure to fit in with the greater crowd.

This is the inverse of what the Weirs have been experiencing with Lindsay, right?

Is his Cool Dad personality genuine, or a performance to secure Neals trust?

(Neal is adored by his tennis-playing mother, but they dont have the same bond.)

Instead, Neal and his dad watchSaturday Night Livetogether every weekend.

(Joe Piscopo now: awful person!)

What father could be better?

Well, aside from the whole philanderer thing.

The damage is done.

Harold would never ask him to lie to a friend.

Harold would never maintain a double life.

That jumble of emotion doesnt quite make sense, and I can understand turning to whomever for help.

But Ken expecting any of the freaks to give him good advice?Yikes.

(Maybe Kim was right with her Dont be mean, just be a bitch advice?)

He cheated on her, and wants her to forget about it.

These are some realLovelineantics, and a healthy relationship they do not make!

Itdoesend up working, and Daniel and Kim do reconcile at the end of the episode, too.

Getting to the other side wont be as easy as they might think.
