[QUOTE="the-lost-son, post: 260896, member: 672"] I liked (Priscilla Presley‘s) Jenna as Bobby‘s girlfriend. It was a nice change to watch JR getting finally along with one of his sister-in-laws. With Bobby gone, the character seemed lost somehow. When I watched the dream season I noticed that there is not one single episode which doesn‘t deal/mention/flashback/show Bobby. Every character was somehow effected and mourned. [B]The five [B]stages of grief[/B] are:[/B] [LIST] [*]denial. [*]anger. [*]bargaining. [*]depression. [*]acceptance.

JR got anger (lashing out at Gary&Ray), Jenna got denial (fitting, the flashback to Lucy‘s 2nd wedding and Bobby‘s doubts was a nice touch). But Jenna‘s s breakdown didn‘t work for me.
