Buck is back! And in bed with the waitress Pammy. Buck runs off with his very manly stride, and stops midway, changing back into a confused Tara. Back home, Tara hides it as best she can from a jubilant Max. Tara has an awkward encounter with Pammy in the parking lot of a grocery store where Tara has no clue why Pammy wants to interact with her so much. At dinner, Buck shows up, almost like a ghost, to haunt Tara, and soon, she changes and ends up at Pammy's door. The next morning, it's Tara that wakes up, appalled at what happened.
Marshall clashes with Lionel over his more offensive stance towards everyone. Marshall thinks Lionel has stigmatized being gay by acting so brash, pushing people away from embracing them. Courtney, a girl that isn't gay but supports the cause, goes to the Gregson's house for dinner, and they later kiss. Is Marshall having an identity crisis because of Lionel? Maybe he's bi or straight.
Kate has to collect Lynda P. Frazier's debt, and it brings her into another world. While looking for Lynda, she finds paintings of a fantasy princess. Lynda tells her the painting is of "Princess Valhalla Hawkwind," an avatar she created in high school. Could Lynda be a role model for Kate?
"Trouble Junction" was mostly a transition episode to bring back Tara's alters and further expand the storylines for Marshall and Kate, both of which look promising. I've liked Tara more than Jackie, and this season there's no comparison.
Score: 8.9/10
