Betty struggles with her weight, Don struggles with feeling threatened at work, and Megan struggles with… nothing!

Last night's episode was a bit of a snooze. Fights were stopped by good consciences. No one took acid. And no one cheated on their spouse! The best part was seeing what Weight Watchers programs were like back then — and confirming that canned cranberry sauce is one of those things that never changes. Onto the Likability Index.

I would like to explore why January Jones's real-life pregnancy led to this fat plot on the show, which is only making Betty seem like an even worse person than she has in previous seasons. She's gone from just plain crazy and mean to crazy and mean and kind of bulimic. She spends her days in Weight Watchers meetings with other bored housewives, which only encourage her to obsess over her weight while reminding her of how miserable her unglamorous life actually is. I'd hate her more if I didn't feel so sorry for her. And I'd feel less sorry for her if her life took place 40 years later, when she could lose weight with an app instead of the saddest housewife club of America. Seriously, it was more embarrassing than performing poorly in a 90s Jazzercise class in a public park.
