    I thought Stephen's reaction was adorable, but i'm disappointed in Fonda. I was disgusted and disturbed by her behavior. She reeked of desperation and what she did was so unclassy I don't know where to begin. Plus, she's 70; 27 years his senior. Just, ick.

    A lot of people on other boards seem to think it was all an act on her part, or maybe that the scene was scripted, but to me it felt very real. Stephen's real character who's supposed to be an arrogant ass, would have been more enthusiastic and then stop and go "omg, my wife!! NOBODY TELL!!!" to the audience. To the others who think he asked for it with the apron, etc, there's no guarantee that was his idea. The other writers may have come up with all the flirtations and Stephen just went along with them for the sake of the show.

    The bottom line is, nobody knows what was going on in Stephen's head, but I personally give his obvious reaction the benefit of the doubt and trust my gut sense that say he would have preferred not having to go through that.
