Mistresses - US TV Series Review - Series 1, Episode 4 - Spoiler Alert
A Kiss Is Just a Kiss?
Yes I am still going with Mistresses but I still don't think I like it but it's something to watch once a week while eating breakfast. I think I have only stuck with it this long because it happens to be on a day when there isn't anything else on.
So, here we go: -
Savi finds out that she is officially pregnant. This would be good news if only she could be sure who the father is. There’s a chance her co-worker is the father. This was such an obvious storyline from the minute we found out her husband had a low sperm count and she slept with Dominic. I guess the one good thing about this storyline is that it cannot be dragged out with her pretending that it is her husband's baby since Harry is white and Dominic is black.
Speaking of Dominic, Savi needs him to cover for her at work. That should be easy since he’s been preparing for the case in question for a year before getting the boot. The reason Savi was a no-show in court is because she’s getting info about paternity tests. The doctor lets her know there’s a non-evasive DNA test that will determine the baby’s father. All she needs is a hair sample. I guess this is something quite new and maybe only available in the US because I have never heard of it here in the UK. Story lines like this get dragged out until the baby is born.
Savi tells her boss that she missed court due to a 'personal reason' so her boss boots her off the court case. I have no idea why she didn't say for a 'medical reason' he may have been a bit more understanding.
She still doesn’t want to be around Dominic even though he desperately wants to talk to her. Later, Savi asks Harry if he’ll always love her. After all, that was the arrangement when they got married. Harry assures his wife that they are past all their problems now as they give each other a passionate good morning kiss. Then Savi sneaks away to swipe Harry’s razor blade for the DNA test.
Joss is becoming very chummy with her lady-loving client, Alex and they go out for a run together. I don't know how things work in America but over here a real estate agent would never invest so much time in someone like Joss does with Alex. If someone doesn't buy a house quite quickly then the real estate agent will assume that the person is a time waster and not bother with them.
Joss is shocked to learn that Alex was once into guys. Joss admits that she has been in threesomes, but has never had a girlfriend. She also says that she has never had many “girl” friends either because she tends to sleep with their boyfriends. Again, I don't get why a real estate agent would have such a personal conversation with a client?
Alex’s girlfriend Sally, thanks Joss for keeping Alex busy and says that looking at houses gives Alex something to focus on and something to do and subsequently they have been arguing less. Sally tells Joss that initially she didn't have any intention of buying a house, this was all just to give Alex something to do but then says she may consider buying one if Joss shows them the right one. So Sally has basically just admitted that she has been wasting Joss's time but does Joss stop spending time with Alex? No she doesn't.
They attend a lesbian party together. Joss tries to be a good wing-woman when she poses as Alex’s girlfriend. She plants a kiss on her gal pal. This makes Alex very uncomfortable. She rushes out of the party. I have no idea why Joss thought that this would be a good idea. Alex is a client who you are trying to sell a house to and she has a girlfriend! Completely unrealistic storyline.
Harry makes Joss an “I’m sorry you lost your friend three-cheese grilled cheese.” It may be the saddest-sounding sandwich ever. Looks tasty though. Joss is about to chow down when there’s a knock on the back door. It’s Alex. She’s in tears after breaking up with Sally. She didn’t know where else to go. Alex spends the night. Joss says she can stay there as long as she wants. Alex lets her know that she’s a good friend. This brings a smile to Joss’s face. Again how unrealistic??? You break up with your girlfriend and the only place you can go is to your real estate agent? I just think this whole situation with Joss and Alex is stupid.
Anyway, moving on. Karen finds Sam Grey’s wallet on the floor of her car. She just can’t get away from this kid, but then she doesn't seem to be trying very hard either. Sam invites Karen into his dad’s old pad when she swings by to return the wallet. He shows her the reason he dropped out of college. It’s a camera that his dad bought for him. He believes that he was meant to be a photographer. Sam’s dad left him a note about pursuing his passion. Karen believes the passion Thomas personally found was her. She can see her former lover as clear as day in the form of his son as he makes something to eat. Karen decides to stay for dinner. Again, what is she doing? She says she wants nothing to do with him but now she is having dinner with him again.
Karen reveals that the reason she’s being so nice to Sam is because she feels like he needs someone. He could say the same thing about her. The two of them get very close to each other while reaching for some glasses. Karen’s mind is racing. She fakes an excuse to leave, but Sam plants a kiss on her before she can escape. Karen pulls away after a beat before hastily exiting the apartment. A frustrated Sam pushes the lovely dinner setting onto the floor. Again the question that springs to mind is why did she put herself in this situation in the first place?
Now we get to the one story line that I was interested in in the first place but now even this story line is getting ridiculous and unrealistic. Bob Johnson is an attorney representing Miranda. He shows April a file proving that her dead hubby is little Scotty’s biological dad. April says that she never asked for proof. Why not I have no idea, I would have definitely wanted proof. Miranda wants child support otherwise they’ll go to court. April doesn’t want to put her daughter through that. She meets with Miranda, who claims Paul was going to end his marriage. Their conversation ends abruptly when Scotty gets hurt. The two ladies rush him to the ER. Miranda doesn’t have any insurance so April covers the cost.
April waits around to make sure Scotty is okay. He is. Miranda says this whole thing would be a lot easier if the woman she’s trying to get money from wasn’t such a good person. April is starting to believe that Miranda may not be as horrible as she originally thought. She’d be wrong about that one. Miranda pays off her alleged attorney in cash. The guy’s not a lawyer at all. He’s an actor. Miranda didn’t want to use a real attorney because they ask too many questions. Uh oh.
The question that springs to my mind is why is April considering settling this out of court? Her best friend is a lawyer who could quite easily sort this out for her but for some reason April seems to want to deal with it on her own.
Yes it makes it slightly more interesting that Miranda hired an actor instead of a lawyer, what is going on? But god knows why April is just accepting everything. Your best friend is a lawyer for goodness sake!
Oh well I guess I will wait and see what stupid things happen next time
