Week Five
- Brody and Jessica continue to be super sweet, but not saccharine, especially with the fake fights, and Viki gets in on the secret
- The killers are revealed, and creepy; one of them is insane and the other somewhat dim, and a bad actress. They make their move with straight jackets, invitations and botox
- Marty and John continue to convince me as friends-ish, but not as a couple, especially given that John and Blair have more chemistry in a phone call than Marty and John have sharing a bed. Heaven help me, but Marty has better chemistry with Todd
- Cole continues to be chased by his demons, and is supported by Starr, but as it turns out a good night’s sleep cures Cole of his addiction to pills, and Starr of her addiction to Schuyler
- Blair finally (in soap time) leaves the hospital, but moves in with Todd
- Oh so surprisingly, Cristian, who hasn’t worked in any form whatsoever in the more than a year I’ve been watching this show, can’t afford to buy his suddenly going co-op apartment, while sometime off-screen Adriana sold her business so Layla conveniently also cannot afford her rent. I wonder what will happen next?
- Speaking of off-screen, Talia does not get an on-screen funeral
- Kyle gets tied to the serial killer story as well as informing Starr and Cole that the hair sample from “Hope” isn’t from their child, figures out the baby switch in the process, and calls Jared and Natalie on their knowledge of it before employing a little blackmail
- Jared and Natalie are apparently now getting married “tomorrow”! With no planning. See this post for my thoughts on that
- Tea decides to show up at Todd’s wearing not much, having apparently forgotten that he got custody of his kids. However she makes up for that by making a nice play of “if you’re sleeping with someone, you’re sleeping with everyone they’ve slept with” both figuratively and, by the end of the week, literally
- Cole, Nora and Bo reach an understanding of sorts
- Lola tells Dorian that Markko and Langston are planning on having sex
- and I continue to fast forward all of the Fiasco except the conversation between Gigi and Viki, and the Scott Clifton bits which didn’t technically cross with the story at all this week. Unfortunately the Fiasco invades my screen 4 out of 5 days
Rating for the week: 3 out of 5. On the plus side the serial killer story started to move to a climax, and there was progress with the baby-switch, but there was far too much of the Fiasco to make it a good week.
