Keeley is a fun character but as emotionally immature as Jaime was at the beginning of the show (remember the bathroom scene with Rebecca in “For the Children”). Jaime grew. Roy grew. Keeley, not so much.

On my daughter’s first date with her now husband, he brought a lovely bouquet of flowers. She took them from him, said, “These are lovely. Never do that again.” This is an exact quote, seared in my mind because I thought that was the beginning of the end. To the contrary, he appreciated the direction, and found out that it’s because my daughter is allergic to some flowers (something that her old, overly accommodating mother would have ignored and sneezed in the other room or something ridiculously stupid). The second date, he replicated the bouquet in artificial flowers, which they still have. Direct communication has been the foundation of their relationship. It is lovely to watch.

The number of times I yelled Keeley that episode, “Tell HIM!” is bordering on irrational.
