Why this must be read: TSN writers keep finding new and exciting ways to reconcile Mark and Eduardo following the depositions and this one had Woke Up Married, after a wild night in Vegas, leaving everyone to deal with the fallout.

Chris is worried about an ulcer, Dustin is rooting for those crazy kids, Eduardo is freaking out and Mark is... strangely OK with it all...

"I don't hate anyone, least of all Wardo," Mark says. They all turn to stare at him. "What?"

"That's great, Mark," Chris says. "But it's not really the point. I don't actually care how you two feel about each other right now, I'm more concerned with how people think you feel about each other."

"You don't care? I care." Dustin pats Eduardo's shoulder. "I am a loving and open person and I want you to know that I am pulling for you crazy kids."

"Shut up, Dustin," Chris and Eduardo say in unison and Mark says, "I appreciate your support, Dustin."

Also, there's a wonderful portrayal of their families, especially Eduardo's Mãe.

Eduardo flags down a passing waiter and says, "Coffee, please. And maybe a gun so I can speed the inevitable along."

"Sure thing, sir," the waiter says cheerily. "Would you like decaf or regular?"
