Well even though the show has been canceled, I’ll still watch it to the end. They’ve finished filming all the episodes for this season, which probably means we will have a cliff hanger ending and no resolution . . . unless they anticipated this could be the last season and don’t leave us hanging. I really am hoping for the later.

Nico met Kirby’s mom, who was far too much like her for her. Kirby’s mom (Rosanna Arquette) was a cougar of her own, and she really didn’t like someone like herself dating her son. She tried to do everything she could to put doubts in both their heads, but it didn’t work, and Nico jumped the gun and suggested Kirby move in with her.

Wendy meanwhile finally told Shane about “the kiss,” and he wasn’t happy because she waited so long to tell him. Wendy decided she and Shane probably shouldn’t work together after all. She continued to be interested in starting her own company and producing piercing girl’s script when she got another job offer with an amazing company, better than the last. Nico however recommended her for the job, unbeknownst to her.

Victory meanwhile finally found out from Joe’s assistant Anne that he was planning to propose to her and she freaked out. The girls didn’t know how to tell her they knew, or if they should tell her. They all went away to this wilderness retreat ran by a friend and former associate of Wendy and Nico’s, who fled the city and a high power job and couldn’t be happier that she did.

Nico, in the wilderness, continued to have these weird midlife crisis signs. She decided to buy land out in the country for a getaway for her and Kirby, only to find out he loved the chaos of the city and didn’t like the country so much. He grew up there, which is why he left.

Wendy used the retreat to figure out if she wanted to take this job or not, while Nico was a bit miffed that she hadn’t taken it nor even told her of the offer. Wendy soon found out that Nico recommended her for it. Wendy was upset, but Nico was as well. Nico said Wendy forgot about their original plans to run an entire production company/studio/publishing giant together. Wendy didn’t even remember saying that, but if she did it was when she was young and was first starting and her plans had changed. Nico said work sucked not knowing Wendy was the next floor up, and she missed their dreams.

The girls all decided to head back to the city, but the car ran into trouble on the way. Victory, who had realized on the retreat that she would have said yes if Joe had proposed, called him for help. He came along to help, but also to give her the title and ownership of her business back and to say goodbye. She was left in tears.

Next week is the Thanksgiving episode, which looks to be funny and chaotic. It seems the Baby Mama is back and from previews dumps the baby with Nico for a bit, but possibly runs off? Nico is saying she thinks she’s gunna try and keep the child.

It just seems the show is making little waves in Nico and Kirby’s relationship. The age difference, the mom, the jumping in at moving in together, the money, now a child. I get the feelin they are going to have something happen with Nico’s new boss Griffin too.

Wendy I think I don’t want to take this job she’s been offered. I much rather see her live her dream of starting her own company. Sure it will be hard as hell and they might be poor for awhile (okay not as well off), but I think in the end she’d be happier. I also want to see piercing girl’s movie take off with Wendy helming it.

Finally Joe and Victory. I don’t know what to think. I have a love/hate/OMG this is so boring relationship with their story. I finally started to feel for Joe when the mess with Rodrigo happened, but I also think he’s being a bit of an ass. I mean they had broken up, he can’t go getting pissy that it looked like she had moved on. Perhaps instead of just popping the question out of the blue he should have at least asked her back out on a date to do so?

Official spoilers for the Thanksgiving episode follow! Read on to be spoiled . . .

Chapter 16 – Thanksgiving – November 21st
BRINGING FAMILY TOGETHER—MARY TYLER MOORE, VANESSA MARCIL AND ROSIE PEREZ GUEST STAR—Wendy (Brooke Shields) rushes to plan and prepare a big locavore Thanksgiving dinner where all the ingredients used are local. Times get a bit more hectic when her judgmental mother Joyce (guest star Mary Tyler Moore), her newly single successor Sal (David Noroña) and Shane’s (Paul Blackthorne) distraught manager Josie (guest star Vanessa Marcil) all arrive for the festivities. Nico (Kim Raver) plans the perfect Thanksgiving with Kirby (Robert Buckley) but a last minute request from Megan (guest star Shannon McGinnis) leaves baby Charlie in the inexperienced couple’s hands. Victory (Lindsay Price) is not looking forward to the holidays as she struggles to get over Joe (Andrew McCarthy), but things are on the upswing when an unexpected visitor asks her to design a wedding dress for his future bride in two days. As Victory feverishly works on her designs, dinner at Wendy’s becomes out of the question and her ex-publicist Dahlia (guest star Rosie Perez) makes a surprising return.

Note: No show appears to air Thanksgiving week (the 28th)
