Lipstick Jungle Added
With “Cashmere Mafia” canceled I plan to fill the void with “Jungle.” To be quiet honest I expected “Mafia” to be the one to survive. With “Jungle” up against ABC’s “Private Practice” and “Dirty Sexy Money,” well I am worried about how long it will survive this season to be honest.
Anyway, the premier centered around Nico and her affair with Kirby, which her husband Charles had known about all along. Charles had been cheating for years with a grad student, who he knocked up and planned to run away with . . . suing Nico for alimony and trying to build a case against her! That bas. . . . . Charles ended up dying on the operating table though, leaving Nico free to pursue what she wants in life.
Victory hired a new assistant Dahlia to help her get away from Joe. They spent time looking for a new store for Victory, but everything on the blocks she looked for was owned by . . . Joe! She had to suck it up and agree to be a tenant in one of his buildings.
Finally Wendy, well she was dealing with her teenage daughter sneaking into clubs with a fake ID, as well as a visit from her overbearing mother (played by Mary Tyler Moore). Her mom was facing the prospect of having to go back to work, which scared her to death.
The real story of this whole episode was the Nico and Charles bombshells. I loved how at first they made you think Charles in fact had been faithful to Nico and didn’t know about her and Kirby . . . only for her to find out he was plotting to leave her all along.
The Wendy storyline, even with Mary Tyler Moore guest starring, just didn’t grab me. Victory’s storyline has been my least favorite of all the girls to be honest. Here is hoping they spice that one up.
Some spoilers for upcoming episodes after the jump . . .
My main questions really are about the haze, and also when the heck did Regina figure out who Emma was? This episode?
