Penny has a tendency for blurting out everything she's thinking — in a much sweeter way than Hilary (who
got rich by writing self - help books about her family); Alice is frustrated because she and Paul have been trying to have children (she's also Judd's ex-girlfriend) and Horry
remains sweetly innocent because of a brain injury from a car accident (from which Wendy emerged comparatively) unscathed, and Tracy loves Philip but is completely aware that it won't end well.
