We here at The Doghouse are consistently impressed at the writers’ uncanny ability to simply find the worst storyline to follow. There were two stories this week that deserved their own full episodes and instead we decided to focus on a story that manages to be both incredibly insensitive to people struggling with fertility issues and Mexican-American folklore. And all because Toni is a mom who would protect her child. Not to mention we got done shouting at how terribly this show treated Toni Topaz as a character and they just dumped her right back in the garbage bin. Once again, we’re left wondering what could have been from this show. Grab a flashlight and huddle under the blankets as we discuss “Chapter 97: Ghost Stories" this week on The Doghouse.
