The weekend proved dramatic even for the folks left back home, the Thompsons and Deckers.

First, Janet did manage to tell Tom to back off, and he took it like a gentleman.

Roger and Susan did spend much of the weekend on the phone; she clearly missed him, too.

(Did teenage girls ever get excited about mopey Jackson Browne?)

Im still puzzled by whats going on with Rick.

He picked a fight with B.J.

over last weeks spin-the-bottle incident.

For the third time this series, he got punched out over a girl.

I still think Rick is harboring feelings toward B.J.

he doesnt want or even know how to acknowledge (and of course, B.J.

has no idea), but it could just be that he misses the friendship he and B.J.

used to have before B.J.

moved away and met Samantha.

Questions: Will Roger and Susan ever admit their feelings to each other?

Whats up with Rick?

Is trouble looming for Laurie and Doug?

Who among you had tonights episode in the pool for when the Deckers would start swinging again?

And are Anthony and Michelle the first black people weve seen on this show?
