Lots of squee and love and bullet points beneath the cut.

- Possibly the best "previously on..." recap I've ever seen. Really well-done for giving basically no new information.

- HE WEARS BELLS ON HIS SLIPPERS. *loves*

- Mostlynaked!Ned! This season's getting off to a good start.

- Chuck pouring the dead bees on Ned makes for some awesome imagery.

- Not sure how I feel about the Cheno's new hairstyle yet.

- But am totally adoring Emerson's pop-up book. I want a copy for myself.

- I dig on the coroner. Have I ever mentioned that before. Has anyone written fic about him? Or made icons?

- ...oh, that's a creepy dead body. I have a thing about bee stings, okay?

- The bees coming out of Kentucky's mouth FREAKED ME OUT like you have no idea. X-Files flashback levels, okay?

- Ned also freaking out about it endears him to me even more. I didn't think that was possible. How is that possible?

- "Like little stinging secrets that don't just sting you once they keep stinging you until you're bloated with secret-y pus."

- Bee girls! And, aww. Anna's so cute.

- "Chuck has a new home! I blame you."

- ...I love Chuck's clothes. I want Chuck's clothes, even though I highly doubt I could pull them off.

- "I know! They were lovers of the same-sex persuasion and the key was to their workplace hideaway." Talking at cross-purposes about workplace romance and loving somebody you shouldn't: ♥♥♥

- The aunts storming the Pie Hole for Olive!! What an awesome scene. How fast must Chuck be able to move? "I'm...really flaky." How much do I love the aunts and Olive? So much. "Why won't you talk to me? I thought you were my friend." "I told you, flaky."

- ...and man, can Cheno scream.

- Truth buckshot! She's awesome. Even having an emotional breakdown and quitting the Pie Hole, she's still awesome.

- "...the cold harsh reality of what's meant to be."
"You can't just leave!"
... "This is your home, where will you go?"
"I know a place..."
OLIVEEEEEEE. OLIVE/NED. OLIVEEEEEEEE.

- "I feel like we broke her."

- Ned has serious issues with change. Poor boy. And I totally get Chuck's desire to assert independence by living alone for the First Time Evar.

- HOMGSOUNDOFMUSICHOMAGE!!! ♥♥♥ And she looks so cute.

- Founder/President ==> Honey Mascot/Consultant. *sadface for Betty*

- ...Chuck should wear her hair up more often.

- Eep, foreshadowing!

- Bitchy!Emerson is always fun.

- Aww, Vivian. I want to hug her. Only not, because that would probably make things worse for her.

- "I thought that was a temporary vow [of poverty], since I'm only a temporary nun?"

- Mother Superior thinking Olive's pregnant? Kind of an awesome scene, ys.

- PersonalAssistant!Ned!!! So much win!

- "I think that's the most romantic thing I've ever heard."
"HE IS STALKING YOU."
"You don't think I'm stalking you?"
..."Then this isn't stalking. It's just GOOD OLD-FASHIONED CHIVALRY."
I love it when the show admits that Ned is a borderline Nice Guy.

- Chuck covered in bees? Creepy. Emerson freaking out because of the bees? Awesome. And the clinging!

- "She must have come back up here to...wiggity whack you."

- "Forgive me, Father, for I'm going to file a police report on all my worldly possessions."

- I love, love, love the cinematography on this show.

- And the recurring "What's home?" theme.

- "And by cabbage patch I mean your ladyparts."
OLIIIIVEEEEEE.

- "Charlotte's father, my lover, was Vivian's fiance."
"You did NOT just give me another secret!"

- "Damn. You know suddenly a crazy cat lady don't seem so crazy anymore."

- 60% less honey in all Betty's Bees honey-based products...including honey. I'm kind of digging on Betty. A lot.

- The confrontation with Woolsy is about as wonderfully awesome as I've gotten used to with this show. Their crimes are so well-thought-out and awesomely quirky.

- Ned putting up Chuck's books is GORGEOUS. I want my library to look like that.

- "Welcome home." *bawls*

- Emerson/Lil' Gumshoe is totally my new OTP. And I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT HIS DAUGHTER.

- Pigby! *squeals in delight*

- askddjae;jgae NED'S DAD.

OH GOD I MISSED THIS SHOW. Is it time for the next episode yet? Circuses!
