Poor Paul has to tag along with Michael and Lauren to the big party; where's his new girlfriend Maggie? Did he stash her away in California with his missing son Ricardo? Isn't it a little awkward being a third wheel to your ex-wife and her new husband?

Good God I sure haven't missed Danny singing all these years. Thankfully the show had mercy enough upon us all to cut away from his song for the commercial break. And what kind of song was that to sing at a launch party anyway? Something about getting over a lost love, and everyone is standing around nodding their heads like they can totally relate. That's because everyone in the room has been married to someone else in the room three or four times.

I don't think Daniel has been missing out on much without Danny around. Danny's observation was that Daniel and Amber were a "good fit" together. I don't even want to think about what that means let alone how Danny would know that, and besides, what father dreams of his son hooking up with some overly processed bleach blonde albino looking freak with more makeup on than Tammy Faye Baker? Granted, Amber's not really a bad person but Danny doesn't know anything about her, and at first glance she looks like The Incredible Mr. Limpet with dark red lipstick.

I sure as hell hope Restless Style isn't going to let Amber's so called "fashions" into their magazine. Thus far what I've seen of her work has consisted of a hideous purple number with plastic grapes on her shoulder, and a monstrosity of an outfit with feathers for a skirt and so much fake jewelry around her neck it's a wonder she could stand up.

Not that this magazine isn't wanting for content. As far as I can tell it's going to be all ads and one column by Lauren. Their only photographer is Daniel whose experience in print ads consists of blocking pop-ups from his porn sites. They seem to have a photo studio but for some inexplicable reason there's an electric piano in there with microphones and amplifiers. Or does Danny just take those with him everywhere he goes?

Doesn't Danny hate Phyllis anyway? I mean, I can see him making an effort to get along with her for the sake of their son, but I must have missed the part where they became such good chums he would drop everything to sing at a party for her. Next thing you know Tricia Dennison will come back and she and Victoria will be best buddies.

Adam has quickly gone from being an enigma to vaguely creepy. He has a personality Lois Lane would have readily described as "milquetoast" and the way he leers at Phyllis all the time is making him look like a sociopath. Now he wants to buy this new cosmetics company - what's with this guy and his obsession with makeup? He came here from Wall Street and has an opportunity to bring savvy business acumen to Newman Enterprises and all he thinks about is Beauty of Nature. I'm starting to think Adam's sole purpose on this show is to make Nicholas and Victoria look good by comparison. It's going to be a tough job but it looks like he's up to the task.
