Everyone Has Lost Their Minds on 'The Couple Next Door'

The Couple Next Door has officially jumped the shark. The secrets and devious behavior have officially taken their toll, and not a single person is acting rationally. With no adult steering this unwieldy ship, things took a major turn for the worst in the penultimate episode of Season 1.

The episode started with Pete confronting Evie about her pregnancy, and that went as well as you could expect. Evie has gone fully evil, and it can't be explained away by grief over her miscarriage. Becka got some answers she desperately needed; however, she wasn't very cautious about what she did with them. Oddest of all, Danny turned into a super spy, but his heroic antics and unrestrained libido may get him and his neighbors killed.

Things are unwinding very quickly and I don't know if there's a mop big enough to clean all of this up, especially with everyone still spiraling out of control at the end of the episode. If Pete has also lost his grip on common sense, then everyone else is screwed. It seems hard to imagine that everyone will make it out of this cluster screw-up alive, so let's examine how exactly we got to this point.
