Breaking and Entering
Well I am still persevering with Mistresses, I have made it up to episode 3 but I still don't think its a programme for me, but by the looks of it there are only 9 episodes so I may as well keep going and see if it gets any better. However, I did actually laugh once during this episode.
So, here we go, Savi has been spending lots of time away from the office and lots of time in bed with Harry. Her MIA status at work has Dominic upset because the legal case that could put them both on the partnership track just got pushed up. They’ll need to log a lot of late nights at the office. This could be a problem for Savi, as she can’t stop staring at Dominic’s flexing forearms. A short time later, the two of them are making love as Harry steps into the room from behind. Thankfully for Savi, this was all just an erotic dream. But annoyingly for me. I really hate it when a TV programme does the whole 'it was only a dream' thing. Well at least this dream only lasted a minute or so.
Elizabeth Grey lets Karen know that her son, Sam, has dropped out of college. The kid is moving into his dad’s old apartment. I am not really sure why Elizabeth keeps going to see her dead husband's therapist? Doesn't quite seem realistic to me. However, this newsflash has Karen worried. What if she left something of hers behind? Karen sneaks into Thomas’s old apartment. While searching the place she remembers all of the good times she had there. We saw flash backs of the two of them together and again I stand by what I said in my review of the first episode. They definitely cast the wrong person as Thomas. Sorry John, I loved you in Smallville but you just don't suit this character.
Her trip down memory lane ends abruptly when Sam shows up. Karen is able to sneak out the door before he sees her. Unfortunately, she leaves her sunglasses behind. Of course she does. You could see that one coming. Shouldn't have gone there in the first place Karen.
Karen realises the reason she can’t sever ties with this family is because she’s not done with Thomas. Not quite sure what she expected when she started an affair with a married man who only had a few weeks to live.
April avoids calls from Miranda while trying deal with cute dad Richard’s snubbing of her. It’s understandable. April did stand the guy up twice. She tries to explain herself to Richard, who is surprised to learn that she’s a widow. He thought she was divorced. April really likes this guy, but he’s not showing any interest in her. I am not quite sure why she made up the stupid story that she did tell him about a 'man' turning up with a 'package' belonging to her ex husband. If things did work out with Richard she would have to tell him the truth eventually and then he will know that she lied. She may as well have told him the truth in the first place.
In other news, Savi wants to go on a romantic trip with Harry, but their financial situation makes that impossible. At work, she lets her boss know that Dominic is capable of handling their case on his own. Her plan backfires as the boss boots Dom off the case so Savi can fly solo.
This then brings us to the only time I have laughed in three episodes. At work while Josslyn, dressed inappropriately, is in the elevator where a young boy keeps looking at her legs and up her skirt.
Mother of boy: Get a longer skirt
Josslyn: Get a taller child
Josslyn’s real estate firm is bought out by a Frenchman named Olivier Dubois. The guy is not impressed with Josslyn. He lets Joss know that her clothes and attitude are not appropriate for the work place. This was never the case with her old boss. Joss believes there’s hope that her new boss isn’t gay when he invites her to dinner at a hotel. However, Olivier doesn’t have romance on his mind. He wants Joss to know that he’s redistributing her long list of accounts unless she can sell a bizarro house above the Sunset Strip. Joss decides to embrace the gaudiness of the place by throwing a trendy open house party. I personally didn't understand why they were making this house out to be so bad that no one would buy it. I personally loved it. It wasn't boring and was unquie.
Olivier lets Joss know that it’ll be all the easier to fire her if she doesn’t sell the house after this expensive bash on the company’s dime. April is shocked to see Richard at the party. Richard is a sportswriter. He’s there with his pal, Lamar Odom. Luckily I know who that is because I watched X Factor USA presented by Mario Lopez (loved saved by the bell) and Khloe Kardashian Odom, who is married to Lamar. However, that's as far as my knowledge of the subject goes. I have never seen Khloe in anything other than the X Factor and only know her husband's name because my partner told me, but I have no idea why he is famous. Anyway, it is completely irrelevant who he is anyway because we don't even see him. April just says "he looks like Lamar Odom" and apparently it was him. Completely pointless part of the story.
Richard also tells April that he’s also not interested in pursuing things with her. He finds her strikingly beautiful, but he also realises she has unresolved feeling regarding her dead husband. See April, you should have told him the truth, things may have worked out differently.
Karen invites her colleague, Jacob, to the party, Again, this is a pointless story because Karen rushes out when she gets a call from Sam. He’s in the hospital. It just makes you want to yell at the TV 'what are you doing'. I may not like the character of Savi very much but she was right when she told Karen to stay away.
Karen picks up Sam after a car accident where alcohol was involved. She learns he returned the pair of sunglasses he found at his dad’s place to his mum, who now knows her hubby was having an affair. You would have thought that Sam would have been more careful since he knew his dad was having an affair and that his mum didn't know.
Back at the party Joss lets Olivier know that she didn’t get an offer for the bizarro house. She got three. She informs her boss that she'll be taking back all her properties and she’ll be wearing whatever the hell she wants to work.
Savi finally makes up with April. That’s the good news. The bad news is that she hasn’t been feeling well lately. A positive home pregnancy test gives her an indication of why. Who saw that one coming?? Yep everyone.
