Plus, Rickie gains some unexpected depth! A

Everyone’s in the mood for love but nobody seems to be able to make a connection in this week’s episode, “Dancing in the Dark,” with Angela longing for a kiss from Jordan, Patty hoping Graham will sweep her off her feet, and Brian hoping against hope to get some extra credit (and not just the academic kind). I’ll be talking to the delightful Michael Hobbes (Maintenance Ph
