The Breakdown - August 26th, 2009 - Sleepless in Mexico

Have you ever wondered what the Mexican version of yourself is like (if you aren't Mexican already)? Who doesn't?! Today Sam learns that her Mexican equivalent goes by the name Sylvia and has a tendency to call into radio stations and reveal to much about her love life. As Jason and Sam listen to "Love on the Border", against their will, they find out that they have a parallel life in Mexico. Love, cheat, hate, one night stand followed by silence. It's just like Sleepless in Seattle, except not. Unlike Meg Ryan, instead of running into the pantry with the radio, Sam pulls over and beats the snot out of it. Crisis averted. But, wait, that's not all... if you call now we'll throw in a cuddly, sleepy scene followed by a little smoochie smooch in the SUV absolutely free! If that doesn't sell cars I don't know what will!

Meanwhile, Johnny and Olivia are trying to sell apartments. No? Not a good transition? Moving on. What we saw coming? Olivia wants to break up with Johnny. What we absolutely saw coming? Failure aaaaaand love scene.

Speaking of failed break-ups, Rebecca is ignoring her better judgement and trusting Nikolas even though he clearly wants to use her as part of his Saw XII audition tape. Back in the Bat Cave, Nik tells Alfred that she spit on Emily's grave and is going to have to pay to wipe it up. Why so serious?

While the couples who are "breaking up" continue to reap the benefits of a physical relationship, the couple who is engaged is strapping on the steel underwear. Or, at least Spinelli is. Maxie is slightly less enthused. I'm not sure why.

Lessons learned...
1. Breaking up + sex = not breaking up
2. We all have a Mexican twin
3. Spitting on graves is frowned upon
4. The new carnival promo doesn't get any less creepy the more you watch it.
