A DOUBLE RAINBOW?!? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!?

Err ... I mean a double episode!

Melrose Place is getting out of their mid-season doldrums ... or perhaps working through it ... to set the stage for the season five finale and the mass exodus of og characters.

We've already lost Jane and Jo, but by all accounts Kimberly will be leaving soon and Jake seems hell bent on taking Alison with him to Rhonda's suburbia.

We get the return of an abortion story line, this time with Alison having to assert her bodily autonomy into the universe. "It's too bad the baby's inside me."

Amanda is pretending to seduce Craig, who is trying to make Peter jealous, who sleeps with Taylor in anger.

Kyle has a new bro-friend who hates Taylor, and so you can be sure he is going to be stirring things up to maintain his friendship with Kyle and not have to deal with any "wife" or whatever screwing things up.

Also, Michael slept with Kimberly, so again, he cheated on his wife with his ex-wife, again.
