It was a good instinct, since Jessica was hunkering down for a month's worth of living with and controlling every minute of Honey's life.

This season starts with two long-gestating things being born - Honey's baby and Jessica's book, A Case of a Knife to the Brain. To be fair, she was going up against J.K.
