Shut Up and Eat Your Bologna
"Shut Up and Eat Your Bologna" had some twists I didn't see coming. Let's break then down:
Andrew plans to take Bridget away on vacation. Olivia is upset he won't stay and try to get Gemma's rich father's business.
Bridget visits Siobhan's therapist. The therapist asks her why is she calling herself Siobhan Martin. My first thought was what does she know and how does she know it? But it just turned out that Siobhan called herself Cora when making appointments. Bridget finds out that Siobhan was on medication for paranoia. The therapist's notes say Siobhan thought she was being stalked.Bridget realises that she is falling for Andrew. Well, who didn't see that one coming. He's been sweet and kind. He's rich and appears to be a good guy. He dotes on her if she lets him. I don't know how he treated Siobhan but Andrew has probably treated Bridget better than any other man in her life. Plus he buys her beautiful things and offers to take her on exotic vacations. What's not to like? Also, from the way they have been treating each other I am starting to think that if Siobhan did come back (and he can look past Bridget lying about who she is) he would probably prefer to be with Bridget rather than Siobhan.
Bridget gives Charlie the gun she's been hiding and asks him to dispose of it. He calls Siobhan to let her know. Surely it can't be that difficult to get rid of a gun yourself? Not that I have ever tried.
Gemma's alive! I've been wondering how they were going to play this. We discover that Charlie is holding her hostage in his basement in Brooklyn. I like Gemma and was hoping they'd bring her back so I'm not disappointed but there was a lot of blood at that crime scene. How did she survive her attack with no medical attention, being held in a basement, and fed a diet of bologna.
Malcolm uncovers Charlie's lies and realises that Charlie isn't who he says he is. He finds proof that he is actually John Delario and tells Bridget.
Malcolm breaks into Charlie/John's place in Brooklyn and just misses finding Gemma when Charlie comes back.
As happy as I am that Malcolm has more of a role than being tied to a chair (is it sad to say I assumed he was the one Charlie was holding in the basement?) I'm still not connecting with his character.
Bridget certainly needs a friend to talk to so we know what's going on in her head but I'm simply bored with all of the Malcolm scenes. I was hoping he'd find Gemma and liven things up but no such luck.
Olivia visits Henry and tries to get his father in law's number from his cell phone when she stumbles across a compromising picture of him and Siobhan. She e-mails the photo from his phone. This didn't seem very realistic to me. She finds the photo in the middle of his every day photos and photos of his children. Surely if you were having an affair you would hide the photos a bit better than that? But then I guess this will now make an interesting story line and Olivia wont be such a pointless character.
So Olivia has got the photo. Olivia would willing blow up Andrew's marriage to close a deal. Of course it doesn't hurt that she hates his wife. I'd preach that all pictures should be destroyed after an affair's over or like I said above, at least hiding and not next to photos of your children, but poor Henry was hoping for a reconciliation up until last week. Still, if Gemma doesn't turn up soon this won't look good for him either.
I'd hate to see Andrew get his heart broken but I can't imagine what story Bridget will weave to get out of this one. Of course that doesn't mean she won't have a good one.
Jimmy works for Siobhan? Who I hear you asking. Jimmy was the FBI agent in episode 1 that was protecting Bridget and he ended up tied up in the bathroom with his gun missing. Seriously, this is the one I find hardest to believe. Siobhan paid off the FBI agent protecting her sister in order to get her to run. Why would Siobhan have this kind of reach? What's her overall plan and how many people are involved in this conspiracy? It's all become so complex and again raising more questions than answers but it keeps me glued to it
