Mistresses - US TV Series Review - Series 1, Episode 5 - Spoiler Alert
Decisions Decisions
Harry believes the reason his wife’s breath suddenly smells somewhat metallic is because she may be pregnant. He actually did some research on this odd fact. I remember that horrible metallic taste from when I was pregnant but my other half never mentioned if my breathe did smell.
Harry picks up a home pregnancy test so his loving wife can verify his theory. At work, Savi gets angry when she sees a pretty paralegal flirting with Dominic. She sends the young lady on an errand that takes her far from the office. Dominic confronts Savi about what happened. He reveals that there is something between them. He doesn’t regret what happened between them, not for a moment.
Back home Savi steps into the bathroom to take the pregnancy test. She notices she’s bleeding. She tells Harry it must mean she’s not pregnant. I thought that she was just making it up to buy herself some more time but she was actually bleeding and she thinks she is losing the baby. Luckily that was not the case at all because if she did lose the baby then this storyline would have been a complete waste of time. It turns out that it was just some natural spotting. The doctor says it isn't anything to worry about, but the stress Savi is currently feeling certainly is. It’s not good for the baby. Savi realises it is time to come clean to Harry. She lets him know that she is, indeed, pregnant and that the baby might not be his. I thought she was going to drag it out as long as she could so I was glad that she did tell him.
Well, now onto Joss. Over the past 4 weeks I have kept saying that her storyline with Alex has been completely unrealistic but during this episode things have finally become clear. The writers wanted to have a scene with two women having sex in the shower, god knows why though, because I really don't think that the type of people who would be watching this show would be interested in seeing two women having sex in the shower.
Alex lets Joss know that she officially broke up with Sally. She needs help moving her stuff into her new place. That’s what friends are for, right? Apparently, they are also for saving water. Joss is initially stunned when the door to her shower opens. A naked Alex stands on the other side asking to join her. Joss lets out a slight approving smile as her friend steps inside. The shower continues to stream as the two ladies slowly close in on each other for a passionate kiss. Steam fills the room as the hot water cascades down the naked, embracing bodies inside. Because when you no longer want to buy a house from someone the most obvious thing to do is jump in the shower with them.
Things are awkward for Joss after the shower adventure, but Alex lets her know that she isn't gay because of what they did. They agree that it was just a fun thing between friends. Harry doesn’t see it that way. Joss gets a lecture from him about the choices she makes. Sally also gives her something to think about as well when she claims that Alex has fallen for her. This has Joss avoiding Alex to have sex with a hot, dumb guy who loves watching cartoons. That is not working for her though so Joss skips out on cartoon boy to hang with Alex at her new place.
April is trying to figure out a way to come up with the money to pay Miranda. Like I said before, if it was me I wouldn't be giving her any money. April your best friend is a lawyer so use her. A meeting with her financial adviser is interrupted when the school calls to say Lucy never showed. She skipped class with a friend to go see Selena Gomez at a bookstore. Cute dad Patrick’s daughter also ditched class. April is furious with Lucy, but also a little jealous. She admires her daughter’s adventurous, wild side. Patrick lets her know that it’s not too late to change her ways. April agrees. That is why she hops into one of her store’s display beds with the guy. How impulsive and 'un-April'.
Karen is informed that she has been chosen to be the keynote speaker at a mental health symposium (thank you The Big Bang Theory I actually know what that word means). She barely has time to process this good news when insurance investigator Anthony Newsome shows up at her office. He wants Karen’s notes leading up to Thomas Grey’s death. There’s a chance this may become a criminal matter. Elizabeth Grey dismissed the hospice nurse the night she killed her hubby with the drugs Karen provided. She wants Karen to create fake notes so that the insurance company will deny the life insurance settlement and they can both move on with their lives. Karen reluctantly does as she asks! Since these two women had been planning Thomas Grey's death for months and helping him when the time came I would have thought that they would have come up with a better plan to cover their tracks but for some reason they didn't.
I am starting to find Mistresses slightly watch-able but I still wouldn't say I enjoyed it. I have probably said it before but the only reason I have got this far with it is because it is on a night when there isn't much else on
