But I've just revealed 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:52.359 the end because I'm so excited about it. 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:53.280 I love it. 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:57.280 That's a great that's a perfect introm awesome. 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.560 So you know where we're going, people, I did.

Yeah, we'll see. 0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:31.040 Well, then at this very lavish engagement party of Lucy's, 0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:33.840 we meet Lucy's fiance, Irving, who is, of course our 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:38.120 very own producers, her real life husband, her real life 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:40.600 husband at the time, and that he was a good 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:43.680 looking couple. They gave him some lines this time, and 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:48.400 I thought he'd delivered them brilliantly. And yeah. So then 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:51.200 Amanda appears at this engagement party. She doesn't have a date, 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:53.399 and after she turns down a guy who asks her 0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:55.800 to dance, she then turns around and asks Billy to dance. 0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:59.040 It was so funny because he goes later he was 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:00.920 such a toss amazing. 0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:03.560 She that's a great delivery. 0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:08.679 Yeah, and she's gorgeous like Alison's sort of a business 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:14.760 dress and Amanda's in sequence leaveless, skin tight sequence. 0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:16.439 Darkly Yeah, of course. 0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:20.240 So of course she's dancing with Billy and she comments 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:24.240 on how they just fit together and and uh. While 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:28.280 they're dancing, Lucy finds Alison alone with the champagne, I 0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:32.280 might add, while Amanda is dancing, and Alison tries to 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:34.520 tell Lucy, you know it's not a big deal that he's, 0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:37.280 you know, dancing with her and that she's dancing. No, 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:40.960 it's fine, you know. And Lucy's not so sure. She's like, oh, 0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:45.360 that's seems a little curious. Your roommate is also the 0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:48.240 ex boyfriend that Amanda's referring to, but. 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:50.280 She's dancing with him. I'm confused. 0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:53.440 Yeah, And isn't that where Chip comes up and said, 0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:54.080 mother's here. 0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:57.040 Yes, and she has mother's here. He has a bit 0:21:57.080 --> 0:22:00.760 of a mother mother issue. But he's perfect eyes perfect. 0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:03.479 Yeah, he had a tough line to deliver and this 0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:07.399 is what he delivered it brilliantly. But they've decided that 0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:09.199 Irving is a little bit of an uptight guy with 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:14.359 a mother issue. I think it's hysterical. So yeah. So 0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:18.840 then Amanda leads Billy after dancing. She leads him behind 0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:22.520 some bushes and she tells him that she misses him, 0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:24.200 but she doesn't want to lose the friendship. 0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:27.320 Well, and then she says, first she says, it's really 0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:30.520 not like me to be this forward. No, is it 0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:31.000 really not? 0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:32.719 Are you really? Are you sure? 0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:33.639 Are you sure? 0:22:35.240 --> 0:22:38.800 And then and then, in a gesture completely opposite of friendship, 0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:43.080 she starts kissing him, and of course that's Allison appears 0:22:43.080 --> 0:22:46.560 at this precise moment to witness that, and she's absolutely 0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:49.080 disgusted and over it, and she turns to leave the party. 0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:52.439 And she says, why does this keep happening to me? 0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:56.280 She saw, you know, Michael kissing Kimberly, now she's seeing 0:22:56.520 --> 0:22:59.400 Billy kissing Amanda, and. 0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:07.240 Yeah, she's disgusted and rightfully so. And then we find 0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:09.880 out in the courtyard that Billy has followed Alison home 0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:11.600 as they're both arriving back in the courtyard, and he 0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:13.800 says he didn't want to kiss Amanda, that she just 0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:16.320 you know, kissed him, and Allison argues that he didn't 0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:18.080 exactly fight her off, and they end. 0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:19.440 Up the funny line. 0:23:19.480 --> 0:23:21.320 She goes, oh, yeah, I saw you fighting off on 0:23:21.359 --> 0:23:23.479 the dance floor, fighting off on the evil you were 0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:26.119 resisting all over the places. 0:23:25.840 --> 0:23:26.560 All over the place. 0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:31.000 Yeah, not so much line, And but the whole conversation 0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:33.399 ends up in a fight about whether Billy is the 0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:35.760 kind of guy who can resist temptation or if he's 0:23:35.800 --> 0:23:40.320 one who just wants sex. And this is where Allison 0:23:40.600 --> 0:23:43.240 admits that she's really upset about Michael. She tells him 0:23:43.359 --> 0:23:46.280 she tells Billy about the affair with Kimberly, and Billy 0:23:46.440 --> 0:23:49.040 insists he's not Michael, but he does know how to 0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:51.240 say no, yeah, because. 0:23:50.960 --> 0:23:53.960 Don't you think I would have acted on my temptations? 0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:54.560 Right? 0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:57.720 So by now that's the critical moment because he gives 0:23:57.760 --> 0:24:01.800 Alison the example, Hey, this example that Hey, all this time, 0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:03.679 I've been living with you, and I'm like. 0:24:03.760 --> 0:24:05.320 Being in the room next to you. 0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:07.560 Yes, sleeping in the room next to you, and I 0:24:07.600 --> 0:24:10.280 haven't given in to any of my temptations. And that's 0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:12.480 where like there's this music cue and this has tilt 0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:13.560 from Alison and. 0:24:13.560 --> 0:24:15.800 He's like, what did I just say? Did I just admit? 0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:16.320 Did she? 0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:17.280 Did? 0:24:17.119 --> 0:24:17.840 He just admit? 0:24:18.200 --> 0:24:22.359 Yep? Yeah, very important you say you had temptations. But 0:24:22.560 --> 0:24:27.080 instead of jumping on him in this moment, Alison like 0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:30.359 challenges him saying, well, you know, if either one of 0:24:30.440 --> 0:24:33.480 us had temptations, don't you think one of us would 0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:34.359 have acted on it? 0:24:34.400 --> 0:24:34.800 By now? 0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:36.040 Yeah? 0:24:36.080 --> 0:24:37.600 And he sort of like throws it back at her 0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:41.760 court saying well you think so, right, But again she 0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:44.240 like totally doesn't take the bait, and she's like, yeah, 0:24:44.240 --> 0:24:46.199 all right, this is a stupid conversation and she just 0:24:46.240 --> 0:24:50.560 turns on her harols and walks away. Super can't deal 0:24:50.680 --> 0:24:54.480 in this moment. But I loved how like the tone. 0:24:54.520 --> 0:24:55.760 I don't know if you guys noticed stuff like this, 0:24:55.800 --> 0:24:58.080 but like the tone of the music totally changes through 0:24:58.080 --> 0:24:59.600 the course of the scene. And by the end of 0:24:59.640 --> 0:25:01.560 the scene when she goes off to her room and 0:25:01.600 --> 0:25:04.560 he's left standing there, we're back to our like searing 0:25:04.600 --> 0:25:09.840 electric guitargeting. Are you like, we're like super like high tension. 0:25:10.760 --> 0:25:13.600 A great job building the tension in this episode. Yeah, 0:25:13.760 --> 0:25:17.760 I like everywhere. All the stories are very exciting. 0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:21.360 I love music, soundtrack and TV shows because they're so obvious. 0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:24.560 Like movies are probably more subtle, unless it's like a sweeping, 0:25:24.680 --> 0:25:28.000 you know, scene across the sand or something, but movies 0:25:28.040 --> 0:25:33.840 are so off they help tell the story so obviously, right, Like, yeah, like. 0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:39.440 I love it. 0:25:44.080 --> 0:25:47.879 Back of the Hospital, Kimberly tells Michael that Jeane doesn't 0:25:47.880 --> 0:25:49.560 deserve this, and well, but. 0:25:49.560 --> 0:25:52.840 First of all, they're wrestling some out of control guys, 0:25:52.880 --> 0:25:54.960 some out of control guys on a journey the patient. 0:25:55.119 --> 0:25:57.680 Doctors are patient. They're trying to wrestle them down, and 0:25:57.680 --> 0:25:59.400 all of a sudden she storms off. 0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:02.080 Just abandons the she abandons it. 0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:05.439 It's like proporate answer is, well, there's a crazy person 0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:07.200 in the hallway, but instead. 0:26:07.200 --> 0:26:10.080 Yah, yeah, one of the appropriate answers. 0:26:10.119 --> 0:26:11.000 I'm sorry i didn't. 0:26:10.800 --> 0:26:13.960 Help save the guy's life, but I'm just so preoccupied 0:26:13.960 --> 0:26:15.119 with the affair I'm having. 0:26:15.359 --> 0:26:18.399 It was like he walked into the scene. So yeah, 0:26:18.440 --> 0:26:21.480 she was so distracted. She's like, yeah, forget this patient, 0:26:21.720 --> 0:26:24.240 forget I need to talk to about our relationship to. 0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:27.960 Nobody's mentioning the PCP guy at all anymore. 0:26:28.359 --> 0:26:35.880 Yeah, the gurney in the outtakes, he's flapping on the. 0:26:35.840 --> 0:26:37.639 Floor, and she's like, I just don't know what to 0:26:37.680 --> 0:26:40.920 do because you have a one that's the show. 0:26:40.960 --> 0:26:46.560 I want to do that stuff happening in the background, 0:26:47.280 --> 0:26:50.520 sign me up and and uh.

Michael is very good it's compartmentalizing. Yeah, 0:27:49.160 --> 0:27:52.880 he's very very good at it here, and he says, well, 0:27:53.000 --> 0:27:55.359 you know, now that we've started, you know, it's going 0:27:55.400 --> 0:27:57.480 to be really hard to stop. Now that we've started. 0:27:58.920 --> 0:28:03.359 It's like and Kimberly still just sort of like walks 0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:07.680 away and walks out saying I just can't And and 0:28:08.040 --> 0:28:10.280 I'm glad that she's at least attempting that. 0:28:11.640 --> 0:28:15.520 But well, enjoy it, Laura, because I know we know it, 0:28:16.560 --> 0:28:19.040 but like I'm glad there was some that color and 0:28:19.119 --> 0:28:23.439 that Kim Kimberly was, you know, because clearly Michael is 0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:23.920 not going to make. 0:28:23.880 --> 0:28:28.359 Any attempt Yeah at a conscience. So back at D 0:28:28.440 --> 0:28:31.960 and D, Alison tells Amanda that trying to manipulate Billy 0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:34.280 is just not going to work, and Amanda says, yes, 0:28:34.320 --> 0:28:37.600 it will because I understand men, and that she and 0:28:37.640 --> 0:28:40.480 Billy had really great sex. Again, she needs to bring 0:28:40.480 --> 0:28:43.040 that up for Alison to hear, suggesting that what Alison 0:28:43.320 --> 0:28:47.080 really needs is some great sex herself. But Alison tries 0:28:47.120 --> 0:28:50.480 to say, you know what, Billy is different and he's 0:28:50.560 --> 0:28:54.120 you know, he's different, and Amanda's very condescendently says that 0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:56.920 Billy is just like any other red blooded man and 0:28:56.920 --> 0:28:59.280 that it's clear to her that Alison is in love 0:28:59.280 --> 0:29:02.840 with him, and she says it in a way that's 0:29:02.840 --> 0:29:05.040 got like sort of nasty subtexts. 0:29:05.080 --> 0:29:07.680 So she has a great line. She says, you need 0:29:07.680 --> 0:29:09.640 a good dose of something, but it isn't talk. 0:29:10.240 --> 0:29:11.440 Yeah, and. 0:29:13.000 --> 0:29:15.400 Then she goes and well, she says, well he came 0:29:15.400 --> 0:29:19.120 home with me, Allison says, and then and then Amanda says, well, 0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:21.120 what did you do when he got home to you? 0:29:21.680 --> 0:29:25.160 And she's like, well talked, She was like. 0:29:25.320 --> 0:29:30.080 Exactly, yeah, that was very Melrosey, Amanda digging into her. 0:29:30.400 --> 0:29:34.200 Yeah, and again I noticed a music you here.

Firm, we get it. 0:29:44.480 --> 0:29:47.720 So Amanda leaves the scene, leaving Allison to think about 0:29:47.760 --> 0:29:51.040 what she said. And then later at the apartment that night, 0:29:51.440 --> 0:29:54.400 Alison is on the couch working. She sneaks a glance 0:29:54.440 --> 0:29:57.160 at Billy, who here is working topless. 0:29:57.240 --> 0:30:02.600 Billy is writing hertless and jeans, which is hello, right, hello, 0:30:02.760 --> 0:30:05.560 throwing a cowboy hat and you we're all over you 0:30:05.680 --> 0:30:06.120 want to. 0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:08.440 Test those temptation lines you all just had? 0:30:08.560 --> 0:30:08.880 Hello? 0:30:09.680 --> 0:30:12.920 How did that happen?

And then Billy you know, gets 0:30:39.880 --> 0:30:41.880 up from his computer and says he's got to take 0:30:41.880 --> 0:30:45.240 a break, invites her out with him to go to shooters, 0:30:45.480 --> 0:30:48.320 and she turns him down oddly, and she stays home. 0:30:48.640 --> 0:30:55.000 He goes out alone, and Alison is like, sort of, she. 0:30:53.200 --> 0:30:57.520 Says under her breath, she is, She's she's fully aware 0:30:57.840 --> 0:31:03.240 that she has the thoughts for him. Finally, super finally Yeah. 0:31:03.560 --> 0:31:08.560 Then over at Michael and Jane's apartment, Michael turns down 0:31:08.920 --> 0:31:11.320 Jane's suggestion that she finished up for work, and they 0:31:11.320 --> 0:31:14.360 have dinner and wine together, and he abruptly says he's 0:31:14.360 --> 0:31:15.920 going to go out and get some air. 0:31:16.480 --> 0:31:18.520 Yeah, Like, if he's helping her, you need to get 0:31:18.520 --> 0:31:20.040 your work done. So I'm going to be a good 0:31:20.040 --> 0:31:21.240 guy and give you spear and. 0:31:21.240 --> 0:31:23.040 Let me just be super vague and go I'm going 0:31:23.120 --> 0:31:26.280 to get some air, yeah, and but I won't be long, 0:31:26.400 --> 0:31:29.160 and leaves her alone in the apartment. I don't know, 0:31:29.320 --> 0:31:31.160 did you guys, did you guys. Know, as speaking of 0:31:31.200 --> 0:31:34.520 prop acting, did you see in this scene as this 0:31:34.560 --> 0:31:36.760 exchange is happening, he's getting a bottle of wine out 0:31:37.480 --> 0:31:40.000 and it's already been open because there's a broken cork 0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:42.680 in it, like it's you know, like last night's bottle 0:31:42.760 --> 0:31:44.600 or something like that. And he gets out of glass 0:31:45.080 --> 0:31:46.760 and they have this conversation. But by the end of it, 0:31:46.800 --> 0:31:48.280 he's like, you know, I'm going out to get some air, 0:31:48.280 --> 0:31:50.400 and he puts it all back, so he never actually 0:31:50.440 --> 0:31:52.880 pours it. It's like get it out. Did she says, hey, 0:31:52.960 --> 0:31:54.560 let's have some wine and whatever. He goes, you know, 0:31:54.600 --> 0:31:56.120 I'm going out and I'm going to get some air, 0:31:56.120 --> 0:31:58.440 and he puts it all back. And I was so 0:31:58.520 --> 0:32:01.080 consumed with like, we what do you? What were you 0:32:01.200 --> 0:32:03.600 going to do? And then what made you? 0:32:03.600 --> 0:32:03.800 You know? 0:32:03.840 --> 0:32:05.000 It was like such a funny. 0:32:05.120 --> 0:32:07.760 She starts coming on to him, and he doesn't want 0:32:07.800 --> 0:32:09.680 to have sex right, wants to have sex with Kimberly, 0:32:09.720 --> 0:32:11.479 so that's why he puts it all back to right. 0:32:12.240 --> 0:32:15.280 But I it just I found it like part of 0:32:15.600 --> 0:32:18.400 I found myself watching it as like the storytelling of it. 0:32:18.480 --> 0:32:19.880 So anyway. 0:32:21.200 --> 0:32:23.640 I thought you were going to say he pulled out 0:32:23.680 --> 0:32:25.400 a bottle that was already open and you could see 0:32:25.400 --> 0:32:25.760 the cork. 0:32:25.840 --> 0:32:27.440 And he pulled out a cork opener. 0:32:27.480 --> 0:32:29.280 You know what I mean, a wine opener, because that 0:32:29.320 --> 0:32:31.840 would be something very kind of like overlooked. 0:32:32.280 --> 0:32:35.560 This one he did, like, so this one had this 0:32:35.600 --> 0:32:37.560 broken cork in it whatever, And I thought also he 0:32:37.600 --> 0:32:39.560 went to try to open he couldn't quite get it out, 0:32:39.640 --> 0:32:42.240 and so I the part of me wondered, I wonder 0:32:42.240 --> 0:32:44.760 if you put it all back. He was supposed to 0:32:44.760 --> 0:32:46.320 be able to pour it and the thing, but didn't 0:32:46.360 --> 0:32:47.480 because he couldn't get the cork out. 0:32:47.480 --> 0:32:48.640 He's like, forget it, I'll. 0:32:48.480 --> 0:32:49.840 Do the same. I'm just gonna put it all back. 0:32:50.240 --> 0:32:52.080 I don't know, but later we'll see him open a 0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:54.840 bottle of wine, Like there's a fresh bottle of wine. 0:32:54.840 --> 0:32:58.080 He is to like take the twist top off or something. Anyway, 0:32:58.120 --> 0:32:58.720 I noticed. 0:32:58.840 --> 0:33:00.920 I don't know about you, but I have bottles of 0:33:00.960 --> 0:33:03.560 wine and my fridge with a cork, like several of them. 0:33:03.640 --> 0:33:06.560 Is it a rosee night that I had a white knight? 0:33:06.680 --> 0:33:08.720 Or do we want red? We just keep him in 0:33:08.760 --> 0:33:09.800 there until they're done. 0:33:10.240 --> 0:33:12.480 Well, I'm just feeling so sorry for Jane. At this 0:33:12.480 --> 0:33:17.240 point because he's God. So then we find Billy who's 0:33:17.280 --> 0:33:20.360 gone of shooters and apparently Michael has gone there too, 0:33:20.680 --> 0:33:22.600 and because it's, you know, the only joint in LA, 0:33:23.000 --> 0:33:26.200 and Billy scoots down the bar to talk to him, 0:33:26.400 --> 0:33:29.600 and he first kind of tries to dance around it, 0:33:29.640 --> 0:33:32.200 I think, but then eventually he tells Michael that he 0:33:32.240 --> 0:33:34.480 really couldn't believe it when Alison told him about the 0:33:34.840 --> 0:33:39.160 you know Michael and Kimberly and Michael here again is 0:33:39.200 --> 0:33:42.440 the opposite of contrite. He sort of turns on his 0:33:42.480 --> 0:33:44.640 tough guy act and he starts saying, you know, people 0:33:44.680 --> 0:33:46.840 need to mind their own business, you know on the 0:33:46.880 --> 0:33:50.880 apartment manager, Like what is that rent? Is that? Yeah? Like? 0:33:51.000 --> 0:33:53.640 Is that a threat to Billy too? I collect your wrint? 0:33:54.720 --> 0:33:56.960 What what are you doing? 0:33:58.480 --> 0:34:00.440 He's acting like a man who's doing something thing wrong. 0:34:00.480 --> 0:34:01.160 It's what he's doing. 0:34:01.240 --> 0:34:04.960 It's super entitled about it, even to Billy, and it's yeah, piky. 0:34:05.560 --> 0:34:10.560 So meanwhile, Allison is telling Joe how confused she is 0:34:10.719 --> 0:34:12.200 about Billy. She's gone over to Joe's. 0:34:12.280 --> 0:34:14.400 I love this scene so much. I think this is 0:34:14.440 --> 0:34:18.560 such a sweet scene because we so look like friends 0:34:18.560 --> 0:34:22.479 and Alison is all kerfuffle and Joe is so calm, Yeah, 0:34:22.560 --> 0:34:25.200 just trying to calm her down, and Alison is just random. 0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:26.840 We have this friendship, right, and it's a great friendship, 0:34:26.840 --> 0:34:28.399 and I guess neither wants to jeopardize that, but I'm 0:34:28.400 --> 0:34:30.480 thinking about doing something about it. But something Amanda said 0:34:30.560 --> 0:34:33.319 is getting smack in the way. And then you just 0:34:33.360 --> 0:34:36.480 so calmly say, well, you and Billy make a great couple. 0:34:36.760 --> 0:34:39.959 And there's such an a cute and right down She'll 0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:41.640 smile on Jo's face. 0:34:42.040 --> 0:34:44.719 The whole point, you know, is that to hear that 0:34:45.400 --> 0:34:48.080 for you like someone else said it, you know. 0:34:48.360 --> 0:34:50.400 I know it was such a sweet moment between us. 0:34:50.440 --> 0:34:52.480 I love the scene and it was like Joe was 0:34:52.520 --> 0:34:55.080 waiting to hear her say that. She was so pleased 0:34:55.120 --> 0:34:56.920 to go, oh, well, you know you would make it 0:34:57.000 --> 0:34:58.640 like you know, it was very cute. 0:34:59.040 --> 0:34:59.920 Yeah, it really was. 0:35:00.280 --> 0:35:02.600 But she also like get Joe helps her, like get 0:35:02.640 --> 0:35:05.200 up the nerve to take some initiative with Billy. And 0:35:05.280 --> 0:35:07.839 so she leaves the scene like going, you know what, 0:35:07.960 --> 0:35:09.239 I am going to do something, but I'm going to 0:35:09.320 --> 0:35:12.320 stop being so timid, and and she leaves Joe's apartment 0:35:12.400 --> 0:35:16.080 to go home, and and Joe's sort of encouraging her. Yeah, 0:35:16.200 --> 0:35:20.319 go go be spontaneous, you know, go for it. And 0:35:20.360 --> 0:35:23.920 it's super cute how she just like gives her some nerve. 0:35:24.360 --> 0:35:27.800 Yeah so and also so. Then Alison in the scene 0:35:27.920 --> 0:35:30.279 by the way, I noticed, has her cute jeans on, 0:35:30.520 --> 0:35:32.640 who we know are their Corney's jeanes. 0:35:33.080 --> 0:35:35.799 Very cute.

Alison goes back to her apartment and Billy 0:35:44.760 --> 0:35:47.400 is on his way out. He brushes past her, telling 0:35:47.400 --> 0:35:50.520 Alison he's going out, and Alison is sort of like, hmm. 0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:53.480 She goes in and plays the answering machine because she 0:35:53.480 --> 0:35:55.400 had seen that he was maybe listening to that. She 0:35:55.480 --> 0:35:57.880 plays the answering machine and then she hears what Billy 0:35:57.920 --> 0:36:01.560 had just listened to.

So then but we cut first, We have to 0:39:41.920 --> 0:39:44.560 cut to Billy waking Alison up in the middle of 0:39:44.600 --> 0:39:46.839 the night. She's dead asleep, and he has to wake 0:39:46.880 --> 0:39:49.240 her up to tell her that, hey, I just wanted 0:39:49.280 --> 0:39:51.000 to tell you that I went over to Amanda's but 0:39:51.200 --> 0:39:55.520 nothing happened. And Allison doesn't fully believe him, and she's like, 0:39:55.560 --> 0:39:57.600 what that doesn't make sense And I know you were 0:39:57.640 --> 0:39:58.640 there and you were gone forever. 0:39:59.000 --> 0:40:01.240 She's clearly her and sad. 0:40:01.400 --> 0:40:03.719 And it's and it's hard to go on. It's hard 0:40:03.719 --> 0:40:06.840 to fully believe, you know, in an instant, and Billy 0:40:06.960 --> 0:40:13.560 is she's seen Amanda, we know, but he's annoyed, saying 0:40:13.600 --> 0:40:17.560 he's not like Michael. And actually here he also reveals 0:40:17.560 --> 0:40:19.879 that he missed having Allison around to talk to when 0:40:19.880 --> 0:40:23.520 she was in Seattle. But ultimately he leaves Alison's room 0:40:23.960 --> 0:40:26.400 kind of you know, hurt and pissed, and he tells her, 0:40:26.440 --> 0:40:28.440 you know what, believe whatever you want, and he leaves, 0:40:28.680 --> 0:40:30.520 turns her line back off, and then we cut back 0:40:30.560 --> 0:40:32.480 to Jake and Joe waiting by the mailbox in the street, 0:40:32.520 --> 0:40:33.560 which is so cute. 0:40:33.560 --> 0:40:35.640 Who's collecting mail at midnight? 0:40:35.840 --> 0:40:41.480 Yeah, as the yeah man, not really do but yeah, 0:40:41.600 --> 0:40:43.360 but they wait for him and he pulls up and 0:40:43.400 --> 0:40:45.600 they end up, you know, having a plan to try 0:40:45.640 --> 0:40:49.240 to convince him to give the mail back, which obviously 0:40:49.320 --> 0:40:53.560 would be him to do, to pull out of the mailbox. Yeah, 0:40:53.640 --> 0:40:58.600 but but Joe decides to really say the truth. You know, hey, listen, 0:40:58.960 --> 0:41:01.719 we cheated like on our taxes and now we want 0:41:01.760 --> 0:41:04.719 to do the right thing. And he's compelled by it. 0:41:04.800 --> 0:41:06.680 He asks, all right, just show me your ID and 0:41:06.719 --> 0:41:08.759 he gives him back the envelope. I thought that was 0:41:08.800 --> 0:41:10.560 so funny. But I did you notice they got fully 0:41:10.640 --> 0:41:12.640 dressed again to go back on the street, Like they 0:41:12.640 --> 0:41:14.320 were wearing their clothes from the daytime. They didn't just 0:41:14.360 --> 0:41:16.880 go out in their pj's or something like. 0:41:16.960 --> 0:41:20.320 Nope, Well, maybe that mailbox was a few blocks away. 0:41:20.120 --> 0:41:21.000 And maybe it was. 0:41:21.080 --> 0:41:23.040 It's you over there, and Low's scale is down near 0:41:23.680 --> 0:41:24.920 like we got to put something on. 0:41:26.080 --> 0:41:30.120 I don't know. So then, speaking of dishonest, Jake calls 0:41:30.480 --> 0:41:34.520 and Jane calls the hospital the next morning or that 0:41:34.760 --> 0:41:38.480 the next morning, and learns that Michael isn't there. It's 0:41:38.520 --> 0:41:41.399 his day off, she learns, and that you can see 0:41:41.440 --> 0:41:43.440 on her face that clearly he has lied to her 0:41:43.760 --> 0:41:46.640 yet again, like she called to expecting to find him 0:41:46.640 --> 0:41:50.000 at work, but they say nope, it's his day off, 0:41:50.160 --> 0:41:52.319 and her face just says it all. It's just devastating. 0:41:53.160 --> 0:41:55.400 We then cut to find Michael and Kimberly on a 0:41:55.400 --> 0:41:58.120 blanket at the beach, where Kimberly tells Michael that she 0:41:58.160 --> 0:42:02.439 has made a decision. Michael is what she wants. Any 0:42:02.440 --> 0:42:05.919 way she can have him, no strings attached, no commitments. 0:42:06.440 --> 0:42:09.399 I know nowhere, anyway I can have you for as 0:42:09.440 --> 0:42:11.280 long as I can have you. Wow. 0:42:11.760 --> 0:42:15.080 Yeah, I'm like, what is the appeal? Like, what what 0:42:15.200 --> 0:42:17.399 is it that you must have? What is this guy? 0:42:17.480 --> 0:42:19.920 Michael? Yeah, he's good looking. 0:42:20.239 --> 0:42:24.000 Tom No. I was like wow, yah, yeah totally. 0:42:24.280 --> 0:42:26.560 They have really hot sex and I guess, So what 0:42:26.600 --> 0:42:27.200 are you gonna do? 0:42:27.560 --> 0:42:29.120 I guess. So she doesn't really care if he has 0:42:29.120 --> 0:42:32.840 a conscience or not. I suppose, and he's thrilled, and 0:42:33.120 --> 0:42:37.239 we're all screaming at the television and then yeah, at 0:42:37.640 --> 0:42:40.439 back at D and D. Amanda starts the day trying 0:42:40.480 --> 0:42:43.399 to taunt Alison again about like, oh, you know how 0:42:43.440 --> 0:42:44.800 exhausted was Billy after. 0:42:44.640 --> 0:42:47.160 Last It was Billy as exhausted as I was this morning, 0:42:47.200 --> 0:42:51.040 And for some reason that shifts something for Alison.

Hello, So ladies, this 0:48:22.160 --> 0:48:22.600 is the place. 0:48:22.680 --> 0:48:24.160 Yeah, this is a good one to jump in. 0:48:24.600 --> 0:48:28.799 Be honest, did you guys click and watch the next episode? 0:48:28.840 --> 0:48:29.600 Did it make you? 0:48:29.760 --> 0:48:33.919 Okay? But what I think to be true is that 0:48:34.120 --> 0:48:36.160 this is an episode that makes you like, oh, no, 0:48:36.239 --> 0:48:38.400 I need to tune into the next one, you know, totally. 0:48:38.600 --> 0:48:42.640 And I think that that is where melrose got, like 0:48:42.920 --> 0:48:47.680 really Melrosie, is that every episode would end with something 0:48:47.680 --> 0:48:49.440 that made you go, oh, I need to watch the 0:48:49.480 --> 0:48:49.879 next show. 0:48:49.960 --> 0:48:52.680 Well, now I have Jane discovering that Michael's having an affair. 0:48:52.880 --> 0:48:58.000 We have Million Allison getting together, we have Daphne and Grant. 0:48:58.200 --> 0:48:59.239 They're pretty much set up. 0:49:00.920 --> 0:49:02.520 We want more trouble, more Jake. 0:49:02.800 --> 0:49:04.560 They've got that, They've got the taxes back, and it'll 0:49:04.600 --> 0:49:05.760 be more exciting next episode. 0:49:05.840 --> 0:49:07.760 Yeah. Kind of weird that a couple of our regular 0:49:07.840 --> 0:49:10.719 characters didn't even appear, Like Ronda wasn't in it at all, 0:49:10.880 --> 0:49:12.640 Matt wasn't in it at all. It's just sort of 0:49:12.640 --> 0:49:15.160 an indication like it was really hard to figure out 0:49:15.640 --> 0:49:18.160 that many storylines, and so they really were leaning into 0:49:18.200 --> 0:49:21.319 the ones that they could see how to do this 0:49:21.480 --> 0:49:25.000 juicy thing, and like have this kind of cliffhangary moment 0:49:25.200 --> 0:49:28.280 at the end of every episode. And I'm looking forward 0:49:28.320 --> 0:49:32.359 to watching episode thirty. Yes, because I didn't. 0:49:32.640 --> 0:49:32.959 I didn't. 0:49:33.239 --> 0:49:35.879 I resisted the temptation to watch it. 0:49:36.040 --> 0:49:40.480 Now, good look forward to impressively strongly. 0:49:40.560 --> 0:49:42.040 We're really good at resisting disucation. 0:49:42.880 --> 0:49:46.279 Oh yeah, all right, guys, well I can't wait. 0:49:46.320 --> 0:49:46.839 I can't wait. 0:49:46.920 --> 0:49:51.280 All right, we'll see you say okay, bye bye.
