"Spence"

She dotes on him. She calls Udall a "sick f--k" in response to his flippant comment about Spencer's unlikely longevity. She throws Udall out of her apartment when he tells Spence he should reply when someone speaks to him. She runs with him in her arms to grab a cab to hospital emergency room when his temp is a little high. She worries about him running 20 feet. She screams at the doctor Melvin sends over to take care of Spence, when he attempts to tell her who he is, thinking it's an emergency and where is her boy. She calls the HMO gd f--king HMO when the doctor asks if Spencer was tested for this and that and complains they wouldn't pay for it and it "wasn't necessary".

THEN she pulls out a checkbook and wants to know what it is going to cost for this personal visit and subsequent tests.

Anyone else see a contradiction here and her retrospectively meek acceptance of the HMO's assertion of tests not being needed and not paying for them? I mean, if your kid is all that damn important to you, why don't you pay for the extra testing, esp since you were willing to do it with the gratuity doctor?

Just another reason why I kind of loathed her character.
