MP S07.E12: The Rumor Whisperer Sep 18, 2023

Show notes

After being drawn to Eve's (a) medical level of neediness and (b) siren song, Peter asks her out. And Amanda is all about it, giving Eve tips on how to land him and even lending her an outfit. But then Eve is a little too aggressive in kissing him goodnight, and too eager to try to walk back her first impression, to the degree that both Peter and the audience is left wondering what her deal actually is. We're not going to find out from Amanda this week, since she's got her own problems: BizLine has nominated her for Woman Of The Year, and since Lexi simply cannot have that, she uses back channels to try to talk the editor out of giving it to Amanda and, when that doesn't work, starts a rumor that Amanda slept with him to clinch her victory. Since Jane never noticed that Michael was on the property when Alex was declaring his love in the last episode, she remains focused on her suspicion that what Michael's hiding is an affair with Megan, despite being proven wrong every time she confronts either of them about it. Michael decides to try to fix his relationship with Jane by eloping. And in Megan's actual love life, Ryan lets her know he's thought about it and he's okay with her past career as a sex worker, but she apparently remains totally indifferent to him. We promise to speak up good and loud in our podcast on "The Rumor Whisperer"!

MP S07.E11: Not Quite All About Eve Sep 11, 2023

Show notes

When Peter makes a whole scene at the not-jazz club keeping Lexi from telling Amanda what she knows about Peter, Kyle figures out that he might be able to confirm his vague suspicions about Peter by joining forces with her, even going to her fake office to arm-grab her about it. Lexi keeps it to herself...for now. When Kyle's not laser-focused on taking Peter down, he's taking down Eve, a Lilith Fair manquée trying to book a gig at the club. When she collapses in the parking lot downstairs, Amanda takes an uncharacteristic interest in her. Ryan's interest is still on Megan: refusing to take no for an answer when he asks her out, he forces her to bring Lexi as a chaperone on the date he bullies her into accepting. And Michael is STILL suspicious that Jane is going to cheat on him with Alex, and sets traps to try to prove himself right, some more. Listen to our latest episode to hear all about "Not Quite All About Eve"!

Special: Let’s Watch Grant Show In True Blue And Dina Meyer On Friends! Sep 04, 2023

Show notes

From AWAWT 126: Let’s Watch Grant Show In True Blue!

Midseason replacement True Blue is the 9-1-1 of its day...so why didn't it last longer than three months? Maybe because Law & Order, which staffed up with half TB's cast, came along and ate its lunch? Maybe because it spent its entire budget on music rights for this one episode, "Oldies But Goodies"? We have some theories, but we're pretty sure it's not Grant Show's fault.
From AWAWT 131: Let's Watch Dina Meyer On Friends!

Dina Meyer had a three-episode arc as Kate, a fancy actress who thinks her co-star Joey (Matt LeBlanc) is beneath her. In this bonus episode, we watch how she and her beautiful hair made their exit.

MP S07.E10: Dr. Jealousy Aug 28, 2023

Show notes

Kyle is still morbidly focused on Amanda, Peter, and the missing diary page, which is such a waste of energy since Peter is probably going to trip himself up soon enough: LEXI has winkled out his most recent terrible secret, which if Kyle knew she'd done should make him very ashamed that she's shown him up. When Kyle's brother Ryan isn't reading way too much into his every interaction with Kyle, he's doing his fake job for Amanda: both Ryan and Lexi's newest employee Megan travel to Arizona to try to land an eccentric soap client. When mishaps throw the rivals together, Megan actually one-ups Ryan in the touchy department. And we should probably create a macro for this: Michael is suspicious that Jane is going to cheat on him with Alex, and sets traps to try to prove himself right. Our podcast on "Dr. Jealousy" is good for what ails you!

MP S07.E09: Where The Hookers Grow Aug 21, 2023

Show notes

Having convinced himself that Megan is suicidal, Michael leaves town to follow her to the trailer park he's been given to understand she grew up in. Except whoops, it's a stately manor with horses all over the lawn, and parents who totally know what she's been doing since she left home; it was, according to Megan's mother Teresa (Shirley Jones!), the news of Megan's former profession that caused her father's debilitating stroke. Will Megan's disappointments in Los Angeles convince her to return to ranch life, or will Michael, the guy who just jilted her, lure her back to the complex? While he's out of town, Amanda sends Jane to try to land her old design school friend Alex as a client, and Jane decides to try to ignore their history for the chance at 25% of his fees if she's successful. At first he's too cold; then he's...way too warm. Speaking of being cold and then warm: Peter, rushed to the hospital for surgery on that gunshot wound. As doctors are yelling jargon over him in the ER, Peter decides he can't die without clearing his conscience, and tells Dr. Visconti how and why he kidnapped Amanda. Later, Lexi overhears that Dr. V knows something Amanda can never find out, and decides to use her powers of seduction to get it out of him. Also hanging around the hospital: Amanda, keeping Peter company to soothe her guilt for being the reason he's there. Kyle knows he can't tell her not to, and does a very poor job covering how much it bugs him, so it falls to his newly arrived brother to try to tell Amanda she should maybe stay away from Peter. You don't need a map to learn about "Where The Hookers Grow" -- you just need our latest podcast!

MP S07.E08: The World According To Matt Aug 14, 2023

Show notes

It's been a hot second since we got a single-storyline episode, and all it took was Matt getting killed (offscreen) in a car crash! Everyone absorbs the news in their own ways, but only Amanda bothers to go see Matt's mother, who doesn't want anyone from the complex to attend the funeral but has no compunction bequeathing Amanda Matt's diary. And it turns out that all those times the writers didn't bother giving Matt anything to do, we should have assumed he was just out of frame, listening to all his neighbors' most shocking secrets and noting them in his journal. Michael's sexy secret job in Chicago? Amanda's true feelings for Peter? How Kyle became estranged from the brother we never knew he had -- the brother who then shows up at the jazz club? And a page SO HOT Amanda tears it out and hides it?! YES. Listen to our latest episode to learn all about "The World According To Matt"!

MP S07.E07: Buona Sera, Mr. Campbell, Part 2 Aug 07, 2023

Show notes

Taylor having inconveniently gone into labor in the middle of a pounding rainstorm, the ambulance can't get to the beach house in time and Michael Jr. is delivered at home, to his two biological parents and the blonde lady so desperate for her chance at motherhood that she's ignoring every instinct a sensible person could possibly have and agreeing to raise him with the unreliable man with whom she first re-initiated contact last week. Taylor took her last moments as a childless person to INSIST that Michael and Jane agree to take custody of the baby...but she sure does seem crestfallen that Jane and Michael Jr. are getting along so well! Michael calls Jennifer to tell her she's an aunt, but she's still in the middle of getting dumped by a guy who doesn't deserve her, and when Jane finds out Michael was involved, she orders him to fix it. On the other side of the country, Sam shows up at the radio station that probably started immediately regretting having hired Jeff, and begs him for another chance. What's up with the kidnapping? Well, everyone is running around the hills getting very muddy (except Kyle, who is stymied by a washed-out road). Eventually, Peter gets Jack to hear sense, and Phase 2 of the plan -- getting Amanda to think well of him again, through acts of physical bravery -- gets underway. And we'd love to summarize what's going on with Coop, Lexi, and Megan, but we actually have no idea. There's a boat, and murder threats, and some very misplaced blame, and...yeah, your guess is as good as ours. Let's close il libro on "Buona Sera, Mr. Campbell" with our podcast on "Part 2"!

MP S07.E06: Buona Sera, Mr. Campbell, Part 1 Jul 31, 2023

Show notes

After Peter failed to call off Mr. Beck's hired goons in the last episode, his plan starts to come into focus: she's kidnapped, and Peter's going to be the hero who saves her, in the process winning her back. And it actually...seems to work? Kyle has to humble himself by asking Peter for ransom money, for starters, though Peter is too worried about what the guys might do to relish it very much. The only problem seems to be that Amanda has more ingenuity and a stronger survival drive than Beck's henchmen anticipated. Taylor lets Jane know that she wasn't just idly talking at the end of the last episode: she really does not want to raise the baby she's carrying, and really thinks Michael and Jane should do it instead. Though Jane still isn't sure she and Michael are going to reunite as a couple, she's in (?), but will he be? And will he have time to hear a pitch when he's so busy trying to split up Jennifer and Billy? Mind you, they don't really need the help what with Sam around, so focused on their misery that she can't see Jeff directly in front of her, extremely sick of her crap. Speaking of men being sick of women's crap: Coop, as Lexi surprises him by spending a presumably large chunk of his half of the marriage money on a boat. Her flirty nagging even drives him to announce he's quitting the marriage and foregoing the money, until she calls his bluff and threatens to tell Megan about all the sex they recently had. Say hello to our podcast on "Buona Sera, Mr. Campbell, Part 1"!

MP S07.E05: As Bad As It Gets Jul 24, 2023

Show notes

Mr. Beck from the last episode is about to go out of town, but first he makes sure Peter knows he's already started making arrangements for a deal the two of them discussed offscreen. It seems to involve extremely conspicuous hired goons posting up at the jazz club being obvious, and given the look of them, Peter's regrets start up well before we have any idea what the scheme even is. Speaking of schemes involving people who lived at the condo in the marina: Coop is having a bad time with Lexi, but the more he rebuffs her advances, the more determined she seems to get him to cave. Trying to prove to Lexi how confident she is in her relationship with Coop, Megan accidentally reveals how horny she is for the $5 million Coop will collect at the end of their marital year, which really undercuts his bargaining position with Lexi. Michael, a practiced liar, seems to think not only that he can keep Jane and Taylor from finding out about each other, but that he can do so while Jane is living with him. He...is mistaken, but Jane is more determined to make things work with him than we ever would have guessed during their marriage. Billy having been offered the Italy job offscreen since the last episode, he and Jennifer are busily preparing to leave L.A. and start their exciting new life overseas. But since Sam isn't happy in her own relationship and wants everyone to be as miserable as she is, she embroils Jeff in a caper to convince Billy that Alison still loves him, using the most advanced technology 1998 has to offer. We made you a podcast on "As Bad As It Gets," and we think it's pretty good!

MP S07.E04: Ball n' Jane Jul 17, 2023

Show notes

Peter's more committed than ever to his scheme to get Amanda back, even though Dr. Visconti does not agree with him that a recurring sex dream -- in which she starts by resisting Peter's advances only to relent almost immediately -- is prophetic. Elsewhere: you're never going to believe this, but Coop and Lexi's sham marriage is a problem from DAY 1. The first problem: Coop and Megan can't be cool about it at all. The second: neither Lexi nor Peter seems to remember he was the one who told her this one weird trick for getting $10 million out of her father's estate. Michael seems to think Megan's official singleton status means he should try to get back together with her; when she shuts him down decisively, he has second thoughts about going back to Chicago for his 10th (lol) college reunion. His classmate Jane is excited to see him too, but dashes his hopes of reuniting with her in a more intimate way with some big news. At the agency, Billy and Sam deliver a great (lolol) campaign for an Italian swimsuit line -- so good, in fact, that the client, Giorgio, is trying to hire basically anyone who ever touched it. Amanda turned him down flat, but Billy is interested in hearing more (though Jennifer stresses out when his excitement about moving overseas doesn't seem to include her). And when Sam gets jealous of Billy's opportunity, she makes Amanda agree to push her for it instead -- which Amanda's more than happy to do, given which of the two of them delivers more value to Amanda personally. (Remember: Sam's having saved her FROM DEATH is "old news" -- which, fair enough; Amanda's already cheated death again.) The only problem with Sam's efforts is that she didn't think to tell Jeff about any of this, and he's not too thrilled to find out by chance. Can this relationship be saved? Again? We think you'll have a ball listening to our podcast on "Ball n' Jane"!
