What a screwed up family
12 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This episode tells you right here why Elliot is a prick. His mother is a nutcase and Ellen Burstyn is fantastic. So is Allison Siko as Kathleen. Elliot has the nerve to say he deals with this things and doesn't wallow in them. That's bull and I'm glad Liv called him on it. But she should've been even harsher. I guess she felt like it was hard enough as it was. But Kathy slapping him and cursing at him was great. He thinks the rules never apply and then has the nerve to get mad when called on it. Just like the DUI he wanted to cover up what Kathleen did. The scene with Bernie and Kathleen was great.

However one thing isn't quite right. Kathleen's age is stated as 19. In season 6 Blood she's 17. That episode aired in May of 2005. This episode aired in October of 2008. She can't only be two years older three and half years later. Assuming these episodes are going roughly by the actual date aired. I know in Screwed it was mentioned that Kathleen's DUI was in May of 2005. The timeframe of the airing of Blood. So Kathleen would have to be 20 in this episode. Picky but I notice inconsistencies and they bug me.
