Case in point: The main drama in Tuesday’s 90-minute season premiere is over a bathtub.
No federal charges present.
The preternaturally peevish Pentecostal preacher is back and absent as ever.

Mary is not a full-time Housewife, just a “friend.”

“You wanna know what I’m obsessed with right now?
Well, not so much “endlessly fascinating” as “delightfully insane.”
