I hear you, Elizabeth and Bennu. Being an adoptive parent myself, I kind of cringed at the whole story line.

But the whole scene with the parents being swingers kind of buffered the whole thing. It’s hard not to think, “Well, no wonder…”

Elizabeth, I also wondered why Amanda seems to have completely discounted her adoptive parents. I totally understand her desire to know who her biological parents were… but it does seem odd that she’s completely disconnected with her adoptive parents, considering they’re the *real* parents in her life. Fey and Gene just provided the chromosomes.

We don’t hear about her adoptive parents much, and they seemed very much like the hoity-toity country club set, so maybe they weren’t overly involved with her growing up either. That would explain a lot about why she’s clinging so desperately to the idea of Gene Simmons & Fey.

I think either he will just not be interested in anything other than that one contact, or else she will find out he isn’t really her dad. Amanda really is a fragile character.

I hope that she will get back with her adoptive parents, since they were really the people who raised her. I think she’s putting too much stock in genetics.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Gene pulls a “Well Amanda, it was sure good to meet you. Keep it touch.” [Here's my fan-mail address.]
