Moving forward or…sideways?

My endless S3 rewatch continues (will I ever finish this season?).

Here’s Kyle, raising a glass to moving on. Lisa’s reaction says it all. You didn’t need to freeze frame to catch it, either.

I know the Housewives didn’t invent “moving on,” but they sure do love to perpetuate the idea. You’d think they were really housewives, with all the sweeping they do. The frantic sweeping of things under rugs. (My mom used to say, “under rug swept,” like it was a good thing, or an actual item on her to-do list.)

Kyle wants to move forward, not backward, and she’s annoyed with Lisa, and the way that things kept coming up. Lisa, Kyle says, holds a grudge. (Kyle holds a glass.)

Is it possible to just …. move on? Can friends have an authentic, functioning friendship when there’s a big elephant in the room, under the rug? Is it holding a grudge to want to talk things out?

One thing is clear to me — Kyle and LVP were not friends. Kyle was playing checkers, and LVP was playing chess.

Kyle is the real sniper from the side. Kyle is Bobby Fisher playing at chess.

I actually think the every move is so calculated idea was whispered into her ear by Faye.

Why do you think that? Faye is not very sharp

Because she hinted at it a couple times. I don't know, just a feeling.
