Jon & Kate Plus 8: Is the Stress Starting to Show?

Judging from tonight's new episode, it looks like the separation might be taking a toll on one of the twins

On tonight's Jon & Kate Plus 8, Kate was off with the sextuplets in Bald Head Island, N.C., showing the boys a battleship and getting haircuts, while Jon was back home with the twin girls, Mady and Cara, trying to get in some quality daddy time.

But while fun was had by nine of the separated Gosselin clan, Mady clearly wasn't in the mood for play. Or was it that having divorcing parents is finally taking its toll on her?

While at the play park, which had go-carts, video games, a two-story-high rope course and other activities, Cara was game for anything—especially the rope course. Mady, however, slouched with her hand on her face, saying somberly, "Really, actually, I don't even know what I want to do."

Though, in the interview chair, Mady said she wasn't into "climbing up and down...I just don't like being really, really high and that seemed really high."

Maybe. She could easily have a fear of heights, but do you think Mady might be showing the effects of what's been going on between her parents?
