Yes! That handsome, muscular plumber! Lol!
He just disappeared like 5 weeks ago!
I also found it funny his name was Shimon and the date's name was Shimmy....(or was it the other way around?!)

The Shimon/Shimmy thing was confusing to me too - I have a son named Shimmy and now I am thinking - does that mean he can't become an investment banker?

And what about Shimmy Reiser from the other serial - is the name Shimmy suddenly becoming wildly popular after languishing for thousands of years since the Shimon Hatzaddik era?

Maybe Shimmy from the Taste Me Tree grew up? Nah, he'd be too old. We'll solve this mystery.

LOL! This weeks just felt like nothing was happening... also would love to hear more about her divorced assistant (always forgetting her name). she was brought in as a interesting character and now she seems to be just background music

Hidden: 

Libby comes back from vacation to find that Avi did ok with her parents once they laid down the law. She tells her mother that Bin's interested in reconciliation. To her great surprise, not only does her mother know because Bin approached her, but she and her husband too were separated.

Are we going to find out that Libby's grandparents were separated too? Shades of "Red, Yellow, and Blue Yarn" Wink Find out in next week's installment!

This week was, well, interesting.

Hidden: 

I'm glad she didn't go for a quick wrap up- happily ever remarried story- which would clearly have been ludicrous with Bin stabilized for what, a few weeks? But this week was just one bad to the next. I don't like the total transformation in her assistant- I hope next week things pull together more. I guess I'm impatient Smile

Then he's even more devious. How interesting that this installment was the same week as a letter about Bin's psychological profile.
Riva, hat's off (figuratively)! Sometimes I read serials and the author's having more fun that the reader. I think it's about even with this one.

I am really enjoying this serial. It's an intriguing story. I kinda like Bin and could see why Libby fell for him originally because he does have a certain charisma. But I feel sorry for him that his ADHD is preventing him from leading a normal life. And of course I feel sorry for Libby and Avi, too. I hope the kid gets help. Sad

I don't know what to think about them getting together after this week's installment. Confused

Oh, and I like Libby's mother. She seems like such a warm, loving grandma. Too bad she doesn't have more nachas.... Sad

Can he keep his act together? I doubt it highly.
The assistant...yes, very interesting. I wonder where that will go as the serial is already well past the half year mark.

Hidden: 

I don't remember it so clearly. Libby's engaged assistant is up to something and somehow, Libby finds herself giving her an expensive sheitel at cost (or less?) including cut. Bin calls Libby and is sounding more like his old self. This is the self he is at the end of the day as his meds wear off. Apparently for 12 hours out of every day (including sleep time) he is impulsive, ADDing, and making bad decisions. Like letting Libby know that he's about to call the woman he was seeing seriously to see if she'd be interested in the new improved Bin.

Did I miss anything?

Adding to Pinkfridge's synopsis, also it seemed like Libby is taking a firmer approach to Avi's discipline, presumably having seen it work out for her mother.

I think they're usually in the neighborhood of 60-70 chapters, with most being on the shorter end of that.

Also,
Hidden: 

Mira (the assistant) tells Libby that she won't be returning after the wedding - this is on pretty short notice, and after asking her for a huge discount on the sheitel while insinuating that the markup is too high and the sheitel-sellers are getting rich off their customers. Libby was understandably taken aback by this and got snappish, then felt guilty and that's why she ended up changing her mind and giving her the sheitel. I'm assuming that the assistant is going to start competing with her, leading to the next new drama. She had been having those kinds of thoughts when she was subbing while Libby was on vacation...
