Final Thoughts:  This was an okay episode a bit boring, but I liked the scene at the Blaisdale's at dinner, it was a fun scene.  I'm not sure what Michael thinks he's going to gain by telling Blake about Fallon and Cecil's scheme, did he really think Fallon would run to him and thank him?  I don't think so.  Again he's one of the worst characters on the show, right now I'm hoping for a fiery death.
Best Outfit:  Yes it's another outfit from Fallon, the pantsuit whatever this is isn't attractive.
Fight Count: 1 (Blake vs Fallon)
