The Army Wives React To Jeremy’s Death
So the latest episode of “Army Wives” had the various families reacting to Jeremy’s death.
Tonya has, we guess, returned home to her parents, as she was nowhere to be found. Denise meanwhile couldn’t take it anymore and split with Molly. She blamed herself for giving Jeremy permission to reenlist. Claudia Joy found her checked into some B&B she mentioned she liked a lot. Denise told her she was not coming home. Oddly enough, and I know this is kinda horrible to say, but I’ve been feeling more for other characters on the show and not Denise. I don’t know, maybe she’s still in shock and hasn’t let herself break down the way Frank has, or the way Roland did in this episode.
Roland cracked in this episode. He too felt to blame, and was trying to keep other soldiers from returning to duty by denying their clean bills of mental health. At the end of the episode he lost it when his daughter put on mommy’s beret. It was the heartbreaking scene of this episode.
Michael, talking to some civilian contractor who was assessing the readiness of the Afghan army, mentioned that he didn’t think they were ready and they needed a larger American Forces presence here. They guy talked to a paper about this, and though he didn’t name Michael, everyone in the top brass knew it was him. Michael lost his promotion and says he doesn’t think he’ll get anymore opportunities in the future . . . he’s hit at far as he’s going to go in the Army . . . OUCH! I almost am worried they might be writing Michael out of the Army soon.
Roxy went against Trevor’s wishes and invested in the Truck Stop with another guy. Trevor was not happy, saying they don’t know where they’ll be in 6 months, so why invest in another business? I think this was Roxy’s way of dealing with her fears about losing Trevor. This at least gave her some sense of security, which Trevor’s job could not.
Finally Pamela and Chase decided to reunite and even remarry, which they told the kids. That makes me very worried honestly . . . . I get they have a history, but this is coming on very fast. Maybe a little too fast.
I also am not a big fan of Denise right now, I get that they are showing her shutting down and what not but I just thought she would have more umph, they need to write her some more stuff. Frank on the other hand opening the chest, wow so amazing, fantastic give the man an emmy. I am wondering if they are writing the Pamela Chase stuff fast to get it done and move on, I hope that’s what it is.
