Interesting that it was the trauma of the accident and what happened afterwards that sent Laura into a downward spiral of alcoholism and insanity.
Well, that's what Roger thinks, anyway. That may say more about Roger than it does about Laura. Still, we got more detail about Laura today than we have gotten previously. I don't think alcohol has ever been mentioned before; all we knew was that she was in an institution. The writers were being carefully vague so that they would have a free hand when they finally decided what to do with her.
I liked the gesture with which Sam requested another drink from Bob the Bartender as Roger left.
Maggie asked Joe about his boat. What boat? Last we heard, Joe got drunk because his friend had backed out of their plans to buy a boat together.
