I loved how much Pam got to be in this one after her prengnancy. Granted, she looks different in a very substantial way (no vugarness meant), but she also got to be involved in the character sidelines. It's too bad she wasn't more involved on the action side of the issue, but it was fun to see her play on Ralph's jealousy. Now he knows what she went through with THE HIT CAR and had she been around to see him get gaga over Markie Post in 200 MPH FASTBALL.

I have to admire Pam's resolve too. She could have been mad at Ralph and had a blowout with him about the crash in the attic. Instead, she told him to leave so she might not regret something later. Plus, to give him time to cool down. Not only that, but she still kept fighting Charlie's advances. Had Ralph not kept coming around causing trouble, she might not have stirred the pot. Even when she did though, she did not allow it to cross that line of what might be considered cheating. I admire that. Some people would not have the resolve.

Not only that but when Ralph comes to the Chinese restaurant, Pam says that she was mad and they did have to talk, but that she KNEW they could get through it. THAT is impressive for a lady who has to have her roof fixed and knows that her boyfriend can spy on her at any time he wants with his long underwear. Dedication does not come easy and she has it...I think it shows how much she respects Ralph and has grown to love him...and also how she has been working to adapt to the wrinkle the suit puts in the relationship. I don't think Ralph ever really gave it that much thought because he was busy using the suit...not reacting to its effects like Pam.

I do hate however that Ralph felt the need to try and hide his jealousy at the end of the episode. He should have admitted that he was jealous because of how great she was and how he was scared to lose her, rather than trying to tell her that he was just looking out for her because she was not intelligent enough to see through Charlie's riches and such. It was in bad taste after all that had happened...and I have to say this is probably the worst part of the episode...even though Ralph is made to look foolish when Bill says that he was NOT part of the conspiracy with Hydra. Gotta love that closure although I still hate Lupo for putting it in and almost making it sound like Pam was at fault.

I do have to agree that not only did Pam NOT cross the line, she made it very clear *when she and Charlie were alone* that she was involved with Ralph. . .funny she didn't do it in front of Ralph *wink wink*. ;D

I don't blame her...Ralph never made it obvious if Pam was around or not. Think Starlette.

Exactly. To quote Pam:
"Ralph, I'd like to talk to you. . . PLEASE![/i]"
I think I woulda done a little more than just talk. . .

I woulda beat him over the head with something. Or left him. She deserved better than what she got most times, which is why I like the CLASSICAL GAS turnaround.

It's interesting that you say she deserved better [than Ralph].
I have to say, if he was such a sub-par schlomo, why did the Green Guys choose him?
It's not always about career or money.

It's not always about career or money. Why did they UNchoose him as well? I am not saying on the career or money track that she was better, but I am saying that I think SHE was more involved in the relationship and this episode showed it where others did not. Even in THIS IS THE ONE THE SUIT WAS MEANT FOR, you see her more involved than Ralph overall, regardless of his thirty second speech about it at the end. I think she had the relationship resolve overall and he did not.
