Well, it's as good an explanation as any for the boots. It's also a reminder that not everything has to have a comedic or chaotic explanation. Sometimes, a mundane story is just as valid and still lead to a joke! I do think that we have really only seen the beginning of the affects of this night for the Augustus family. Think of the family get-togethers!

Yeah, Claire can pull off 'dorky', can't she? Maybe, in the end, it's all about the attitude! It's also very in-character for Claire to somehow mix mockery and support when talking to her brother.

Of course, having a significant other who is into it in a big way is a heck of a motivation for excelling in your chosen aesthetic! That said, we may see Claire experiment with other looks as her self-confidence grows. Marten may be in for a ride, as far as that goes!

We have already. I think rockin this gorgeous dress gave her a lot of confidence. It was all shirt and khaki shorts before that and while she hasn't abandoned that she is just as likely to be wearing a dress as not now.

In retrospect might also be that's when her crush started and she wanted to impress Marten.

BenRG:
So, anyone got any ideas for next week? There isn't anything obvious that occurs to me. The options that come to mind are:

* Faye gets a new job;
* Hannelore meets Arthur outside of the support group and has to scramble to keep Faye's secret (and hers);
* A cutesy-funny sequence of Claire and Emily discussing the nature of being a girlfriend;
* Meanwhile, on the Space Station...
* VERONICA: "Marten, how would you feel about having three dads?"Option (3) could be hilarious or toe-curling depending on how Jeph handles it. Even though Claire has, at best, a week's more experience of being in a relationship than Emily does, I could see Emily treating her as a sage in all things 'boyfriend'. She has lots of questions, some of which should not be asked in a public place like the library. I could see one or two moments where the two get into a 'Squeee!' about their respectives and either Marten shouting out: "I'm standing here, you know!" or Tai shouting out: "Okay, so your boyfriends are cute! I'm happy for you! Now get back to work already!"

Option (2) more-or-less writes itself. Imagine, if you will, Hanners trying to explain why variations on 'Hannelore' are a nickname or contraction of 'Abyssinia'.

Undrneath:
But is Emily as inexperienced as Claire?  All I remember is she wasn't sure Clinnn-tonnn was her type. She very well might have been on many dates in the past.

(Although he's right, the dorky look *does* work for her.)

Apparently she has a certain sneaking fondness for him too. Just quietly.
