Claudia Joy found herself tested in "The Best of Friends"
this week as a new commander, General Clark - who thought he was going
to be named Corp Commander of Fort Marshall - and his wife, Jackie,
arrived. Although Denise had a past with Jackie that resonated with good
memories, Claudia Joy felt an immediate threat and wasn't about to let
anyone get in the way of her man earning his third star. As long as both
gentlemen are posted at Fort Marshall, everyone will be eying them and
their mutual quest for the star.
You have to hand it to Kelli Williams, she plays Jackie Clark as
smooth as silk. She could talk the socks off of a freezing woman living
in the streets, and only Claudia Joy sees it. Well, Claudia Joy and the
viewers. I have no doubt of her insincerity, and desire to promote her
husband and herself above the Holdens. I haven't heard whether she will
be a more permanent addition to the cast, but with the loss of one of
wives tonight, we definitely have room to grow.
Bless her heart that Roxy is a stubborn girl. From not wanting to
move away from Fort Marshall to wanting to keep Pamela from doing the
same, she is as headstrong as they come. Very rarely does she allow
anything to stop her once she puts her mind to something, but it was
hard to see her friend hurting and missing her husband. As close as Roxy
and Pamela are, Pamela, Chase and their kids are a family and they
belong together far more than she and Pamela.
It was the end of an era. Our original wives have finally lost a
member. Not to death, or illness or a sad event, but to the beginning of
a new life. She's standing by her man just as all of her friends stand
by their husbands and wives. The montage scene was beautifully done, as
they always are on Army Wives. I found myself at a loss for
words. What do you say when someone so integral to show leaves, and you
watch as characters you love say goodbye?
Fill in for me with your thoughts on what's to come. What will happen
with Roxy? Who will be her next partner in crime? I'm wondering if she
might befriend Tanya, since they are probably closest in age and Tanya
should have something else to do on the show. Does this open the door
for a closer relationship between Roxy and Roland? Even though our
friends have always been close as a group, there have always been even
closer bonds between certain characters. Help me figure this out and
share your thoughts below. We'll miss you Pamela Moran!
