Okay, I decided to give Mistresses another chance but I am still not sure if this is the TV show for me. So far there is only one character (out of the 4) that I like and so far it is only her storyline that I have been interested in. However, here is my review of episode 2.
Savi is feeling the aftershocks of cheating on her husband, which did turn out to be a one off and not some ongoing affair. I can't believe how quickly and easily she managed to cheat on her husband but I guess I should keep reminding myself of the name of the show and stop being shocked and so disapproving. Savi is in no mood for wild club tales from Josslyn, who is walking around in her Thor’s sister outfit. Apparently, it’s very hard to dance with hammer in hand.
Karen advises Savi to take a beat before going forward with her plan to tell Harry that she was unfaithful. She wants her to be sure this won’t happen again. As for Harry, Josslyn gives him advice on how to make things right with her sister. He needs to make an effort to talk with her. No really? Apparently he needs Josslyn to state the obvious.
Savi lets Dominic know that what happened between them was a mistake. She loves her husband. Dominic respects that, but he also reminds Savi that she’s the one who kissed him first. There’s tension in the office when Harry shows up to apologise. He lets his wife know that their fertility issues aren’t as dire as he thought. They can keep trying. Savi can’t deal with this at the moment. She has a meeting with Elizabeth Grey, who is being hassled by an insurance investigator regarding her husband’s death. That same investigator also questions Karen about her deceased patient.
April (this is the only character that I like so far) clues in her friends about the news that her deceased husband, Paul, may have had a baby with another woman. There’s a chance this Miranda woman is running a scam, since Savi points out that she only started contacting April after she received her husband's life insurance, but Paul (the dead husband) used to stay at the Orlando hotel where she works.
April can’t understand how someone would cheat. That’s why she’s furious at Savi when she learns that she’s a cheater, too. April does a stakeout on Miranda’s motel. She sees her loading her son into a yellow SUV, but doesn’t approach her. She later finds an auto dealer’s business card amongst her hubby’s things. A call to the place reveals that Paul purchased the yellow SUV.
Karen is doing her best to avoid Sam Grey. Her colleague, Jacob, advises her to deal with her problem head on. Karen meets with Sam. She feels it’s harmless since the kid is going back to school soon. They have a pleasant conversation that ends after Sam accidentally spills water on Karen’s dress. Oops! Sam shows up at the office offering to pay for the dry cleaning. Karen goes off on him. She makes it clear that she doesn’t want to see him again. A dejected Sam says “no problem” before exiting out the door.
Josslyn makes lunch plans with Alex, who is one half of the lesbian couple she’s been showing houses to lately. They chat about their very different takes on relationships. Josslyn convinces Alex to check out a great house without her significant other. The two ladies do a little snooping while in the place to find a kinky Japanese bondage rope. Naturally, they decide to take for a little fully-clothed test drive. How unrealistic?? Surely no one in the real world would do such a thing with their own real estate agent? But then the one I used to work for didn't look like Joss.
Josslyn then uses the rope in a more naked manner on a guy when she gets home, but her experiment gets put on pause when Alex calls. The two ladies chat while Josslyn’s bound-up bed buddy looks on in disbelief. Again, surely this isn't realistic? She must really want to sell Alex a house. I guess no one will be surprised if something happens between Josslyn and Alex later on down the line.
April learns that Miranda wants money from her. She wants her son to have the same kind of life her former lover’s legitimate daughter has. I personally would tell her to go to hell.
April confides in Karen because she’s still angry at Savi. Both ladies have conflicted feelings of how they should be grieving. As for Savi, she has a heart-to-heart with Harry. It’s all about putting their plans to have a baby on hold. Savi doesn’t mention Dominic, who happens to be the incoming caller on her cell phone. She ignores the call choosing to make love to her husband instead.
Like I have said I don't think this is the show for me but I will probably stick with it for a little while longer to see how it goes.
