Speaker 3: We heard heard Heather saying.
Speaker 2: So I'm saying, is I wanted to get a dog
Speaker 2: on camera, so everyone didn't think that we were like nuts.
Speaker 6: I think that Heather, Heather and mister go lots of
Speaker 6: places together, so I think mister has been on camera
Speaker 6: a lot, but he may not have made it a maybe.
Speaker 3: I think we'll see if they got him on camera

Speaker 3: Oh. I love her so cute.
Speaker 4: And we talked about the last episode. We talked about
Speaker 4: both episodes with her, but she hadn't seen this one.
Speaker 4: So we're moving into episode twenty two, which is her
Speaker 4: second episode. We found out from her she was only
Speaker 4: signed for.
Speaker 3: Four Yeah at the time, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Isn't that crazy? Like she was signed probably to put
Speaker 4: a wedge in between Billy and Allison, and then she became.
Speaker 2: But she knew nothing about what was she was supposed
Speaker 2: to do. She knew nothing that she was supposed to
Speaker 2: turn into like the bitch of the century.
Speaker 3: She knew nothing. It was like noo. And she looked
Speaker 3: at a couple episodes and said, this looks like fun. Sure,
Speaker 3: that's it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it goes.
Speaker 6: It starts to go so fast, and it was so
Speaker 6: fun to see, like the difference between twenty one and
Speaker 6: then this one twenty two, Like it's already like the
Speaker 6: whole The relationship happens fast and everything happens to I
Speaker 6: can't wait to do this recap very well.
Speaker 2: She turns into Amanda in this episode. It's like you
Speaker 2: see hints of like the Amanda that we knew and
Speaker 2: loved to hate.
Speaker 3: Don't you think a certain line? I don't know.
Speaker 4: I thought you was super sweet.
Speaker 6: I thought so too, But like I just think, just
Speaker 6: the relationship that goes so quickly into like being a problem.
Speaker 1: I saw like that.
Speaker 4: It's a problem for me, I'll tell you right now.
Speaker 1: For them, I'm with you. I'm gonna bet yeah.
Speaker 4: This episode is basically a sex capade, so let's get started, right,
Speaker 4: So wonder Dafty's here at all? Not second boudoir somewhere
Speaker 4: belf pile. All right, So we start off in shooters
Speaker 4: and Amanda and Allison are toasting to a great working relationship.
Speaker 4: And Amanda's in her red suit, right, Like, what do
Speaker 4: you say about red? Shoot Staphanie's wearing red in honor
Speaker 4: of her, Like that means we're gonna do something bad.
Speaker 4: And I'm wearing like seven layers of white stuff.
Speaker 3: White blousey belted.
Speaker 4: Pleated pants, of sweater over a sweater. How did I
Speaker 4: let that go by? And Amanda mentions that she has
Speaker 4: a boyfriend in New York and invites Billy and Alison
Speaker 4: to come to her lake house platonically, and Allison says
Speaker 4: they're planning to go skiing, but remember she's supposed to
Speaker 4: meet Billy, and she charges out to go meet Billy.
Speaker 4: So did you guys see any indications in this scene
Speaker 4: of what was to come?
Speaker 6: It did not at all appear that Amanda was going
Speaker 6: to turn competitive or contentious. She seemed super sweet and
Speaker 6: like just very much, you know, like a kind invitation,
Speaker 6: and she wants to make this relationship work with her coworker,
Speaker 6: and it just has.
Speaker 4: So there's no threat, right, she has a boyfriend.
Speaker 2: And thirty years later and you're looking with the microscopic,
Speaker 2: I you don't notice that Allison's wearing big, billowy, shapeless, white,
Speaker 2: unattractive stuff against Heather Locklear.
Speaker 3: You don't know at all.
Speaker 4: I can't believe I let that slide. It must have
Speaker 4: been explained to me. So next we come in, we're
Speaker 4: we're outside Joe's apartment and Jake is walking What is
Speaker 4: it about me and Grant in a Kashmir sweater. I'm
Speaker 4: just like nice, my god. Maybe it's because it looks
Speaker 4: so preppy. So yeah, I'm in a black Kashmir sweater
Speaker 4: of dying.
Speaker 2: I think you should put him on a vision board.
Speaker 4: Uh, just a black face apparently cash and a man
Speaker 4: in it. So he walks into Joe, and Joe doesn't
Speaker 4: even notice that this gorgeous man is in a black
Speaker 4: cashmere short holding grow. She's very very busy, she got
Speaker 4: her paper. She's very very busy and apparently blind. She
Speaker 4: barely looks up from her papers until Jake announces that
Speaker 4: they will be busy tomorrow making wild passionate love, and
Speaker 4: she finally pauses.
Speaker 3: Because wait what wait what what's that?
Speaker 1: Yeah? That sounds.
Speaker 3: She's So she's like, he's like, what are you doing tomorrow?
Speaker 3: She's like, oh god, I got to reprint these photos over.
Speaker 4: For busy printing, for busy printing. So then they start
Speaker 4: making out and she kicks him out because she's not
Speaker 4: only blind, she's crazy.
Speaker 1: She's like, save it for tomorrow. Very deliberate plan.
Speaker 4: Papers, Laura, She's got papers.
Speaker 1: Papers are important, geez Joe.
Speaker 4: So then we go to Billy and Allison, where are
Speaker 4: absolutely not makeing out. Billy's heating up pizza, mad that
Speaker 4: Allison stood him up and he said he's a crazy sale.
Speaker 4: Allison almost apologizes. Was this sort of really snotty? I'm
Speaker 4: sorry but it was a work thing. Did you notice
Speaker 4: how non apology that apology was, Wow?
Speaker 3: Totally.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: They're angry.
Speaker 1: They're definitely.
Speaker 6: She's like defending the relationship and like starting, oh yeah,
Speaker 6: and he.
Speaker 2: Now I think the writers are giving you the blunt
Speaker 2: the wrong end of the stick, like really like enhancing
Speaker 2: you being annoying to him and him being annoyed with you.
Speaker 3: And then obviously like the writers are doing that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're trying to put up these blocks, but he
Speaker 4: had a right to be mad. Do you remember being
Speaker 4: somewhere with pre cell phone. You were supposed to meet
Speaker 4: somebody and they weren't there.
Speaker 1: Can't you're running late? You just yeah, you're rude.
Speaker 3: If you're late, you can't.
Speaker 4: Say traffic rude. Yeah, sorry, traffic.
Speaker 6: I also noticed that Billy was not only microwaving his pizza,
Speaker 6: he's also making a PBJ and he's gonna have both, right,
Speaker 6: He's making a pal.
Speaker 1: At the same time, I.
Speaker 6: Was thinking of, like, how much you've mentioned you don't
Speaker 6: love working with props, and he's everywhere and he's like
Speaker 6: just handling it is Mike waving his pizza, like all
Speaker 6: of it.
Speaker 4: I didn't even notice.
Speaker 1: Completely gracefully, because you didn't even notice that.
Speaker 4: I was so busy, not quite apologizing for not meeting him.
Speaker 4: And then she tells him about exact tell him about
Speaker 4: Amanda's gracious offer, and he agrees to go, saying how
Speaker 4: often do I get to spend the weekend with two
Speaker 4: beautiful women, which for some reason completely annoys Alison, and
Speaker 4: she gets it's like snot.
Speaker 2: No, But he didn't agree so quickly though he said no,
Speaker 2: I'm going without with you. I got my my skeezer sharpened,
Speaker 2: I got this or that.
Speaker 3: I'm ready to go. I'm going with her without you.
Speaker 5: And you're like, well a man invited us, the three
Speaker 5: of us to her lake house.
Speaker 3: Huh oh okay, you know that. First I just thought
Speaker 3: that was.
Speaker 4: Like all right, they turt it around. So now we're
Speaker 4: back at Ronder's apartment. She's folding up her wedding dress
Speaker 4: and telling hibout that Jane to her to keep it
Speaker 4: in case your breakup with Terrence is just cold. Feet's
Speaker 4: kind of casually rolling up this big fancy dress, and
Speaker 4: she reads him a very sweet letter that Terrence had
Speaker 4: messengered during her low impact class. Remember pre email, Right,
Speaker 4: he messengered a letter over during her class.
Speaker 1: He didn't break himself though, because he's.
Speaker 4: A fancy man.
Speaker 3: He's a fancy man exactly.
Speaker 4: He has people the messenger thing. And then of course
Speaker 4: Matt feels bad for Terrence and Ron to get some
Speaker 4: mad and says, I'm not ready to get married, Matt,
Speaker 4: and there's nothing I can do.
Speaker 6: What was Matt wearing in this scene? Anybody had a
Speaker 6: printed shirt, well, a very printed shirt, which I found
Speaker 6: very distracting I'm like, well, immediately right on the shirt,
Speaker 6: and I don't know if you guys noticed, like there's
Speaker 6: music in the background of the scene which is so
Speaker 6: rare and completely distracting. I thought it was like really
Speaker 6: sort of contradictory on my sense, you know, like I'm
Speaker 6: trying to listen to the scene and this music is
Speaker 6: a little bit distracting and jarring. I thought it was weird,
Speaker 6: and it was. I hadn't noticed that in episodes before.
Speaker 1: It was it was like the music that it wasn't
Speaker 1: the soundtrack, it was like the music.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she had on that.
Speaker 1: They were listening to music, right, but having to talk
Speaker 1: over that, I thought, yeah, that was a lot.
Speaker 4: Well, they may not have even had it during the
Speaker 4: r they wouldn't have talked over it, But when they
Speaker 4: laid it back in later, I just thought that was
Speaker 4: such an interesting choice as to give.
Speaker 3: At least they didn't have to be I did notice
Speaker 3: that too.
Speaker 1: It was just it was too distracting in my opinion.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well they I don't think they did it again.
Speaker 4: So they tried it. Shouldn't like it.
Speaker 3: They tried it.
Speaker 4: They do do it again. I'll tell you when oh again, Okay,
Speaker 4: something to look forward to. So now at the lake
Speaker 4: House and Amanda, Billy, and Allison are walking in. Amanda
Speaker 4: is in an adorable pink sweater and jeans. She's always
Speaker 4: so adorable.
Speaker 2: And Billy big the big the nineties oversized sweater that
Speaker 2: leggings an legs underneath.
Speaker 4: She could get away with it, and Billy says, I'm
Speaker 4: in heaven, great weather, great house, two gorgeous women. I
Speaker 4: says it again, it's kind of hitting it too hard.
Speaker 4: What did you deserve this? Shockingly annoyed, Allison says nothing.
Speaker 1: Nothing, I did nothing.
Speaker 3: I have a note right here.
Speaker 2: My first laugh out loud, and Alison thing nothing and
Speaker 2: then you looked away.
Speaker 3: That was so good.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I have a note too that Courtney as cute
Speaker 6: as Amanda looked in her pink outfit. Your eyes were
Speaker 6: so stunningly beautiful in this scene, even when you're rolling them,
Speaker 6: And that was my note. It was like you're rolling
Speaker 6: them at Billy and they're just still absolutely gorgeous.
Speaker 4: I finally got an eyelight. They're always sort of in
Speaker 4: the shit. I probably got an eyelight in this scene,
Speaker 4: very so. Then Amanda said, but this is so weird
Speaker 4: to me. Amanda goes she and Allison will share room
Speaker 4: and Billy will sleep in the fold out couch because
Speaker 4: their big, fancy guest house apparently has one bed. I know,
Speaker 4: I know, did not seem weird, this big living room
Speaker 4: in a view of the lake, but apparently only splurts
Speaker 4: for the one bedroom.
Speaker 1: Just a little cottage.
Speaker 4: It's just a little cottage.
Speaker 2: Esoteric brother dad who has a sister who lives in Paris.
Speaker 2: I mean, all of a sudden, Amanda's family is becoming
Speaker 2: this sort of like JDS Salander type or something.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I was like, he doesn't have a TV.
Speaker 3: You know that's coming the dad.
Speaker 2: There's all these books in their first editions in that room.
Speaker 4: It just first editions, but one bedroom for a family blakehouse.
Speaker 4: I just thought that wasn't super realistic. Billy wants to
Speaker 4: go water skiing right away. Allison says he just wants
Speaker 4: to see us in our wetsuits, because who doesn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: She's like, okay, well get on mine. Yeah, and Amanda's
Speaker 2: like I'm good with that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you never want to wear wet suit on camera.
Speaker 4: Trust me, it is not good. So we're out on
Speaker 4: the lake and Billy and Amanda are flirting like mad
Speaker 4: by the steering wheel, and Alice is just being dragged along.
Speaker 1: She's bigging and being totally ignored. And we know now
Speaker 1: that it was hailing and miserably.
Speaker 4: It was freezing cold, and they're saying, look like you're
Speaker 4: having fun. I remember they're saying look like and I
Speaker 4: was so unhappy and I was still missed. And remember
Speaker 4: I thought this was episode thirty three. It's only twenty two,
Speaker 4: so I was already super tired.
Speaker 3: Cry you that were so much funny.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, the two of them, even though they
Speaker 2: have to yell because they're outside and the wind is
Speaker 2: blowing and they're trying to flirt with each other, and
Speaker 2: then cut.
Speaker 3: To you're in the back.
Speaker 1: Just yail my face. Just conditions were not in Alison's favor,
Speaker 1: so they.
Speaker 4: Don't even notice because they're flirting so much that Alison
Speaker 4: falls just asked over tea kettle into the water and
Speaker 4: just going away start yelling baye bye.
Speaker 6: Well it so like, did you notice like the contrivance
Speaker 6: of like he needed to move closer, like I just
Speaker 6: like to steer the boat, and then he leans over
Speaker 6: and he kind of like helps her hold the wheel
Speaker 6: like she really needs helps steering in a you know,
Speaker 6: wide open lake or whatever. And I have some good lines,
Speaker 6: so that hard alert that's happening, and you're sending it
Speaker 6: from back there.
Speaker 4: Going for another person. And you guys now know that
Speaker 4: I was splash the water to cover the hill.
Speaker 3: Did you see the hail I did all around?
Speaker 4: I did, like it looks like someone's throwing pebbles at me,
Speaker 4: but it was water.
Speaker 6: It's once she's fallen in the water and they're circling
Speaker 6: back together, She's.
Speaker 1: Like billy like this creating distraction from the hail.
Speaker 4: It was one of those moments when you're acting and
Speaker 4: you're just thinking, this is humiliating on so many levels,
Speaker 4: Like what am I doing here?
Speaker 1: I thought it worked. I thought it worked entirely.
Speaker 6: Like I just thought I was sorry for Alice and drowning.
Speaker 4: And your eyes looked beautiful, But boy did you look pretty.
Speaker 4: So we're back and I am already sick with the cold,
Speaker 4: which came on very fast. And I would like to
Speaker 4: say fully committing to the cold, right I'm dogging like this,
Speaker 4: There was not I fully committed. There's no I feel
Speaker 4: like I'm coming down with something. I have a full
Speaker 4: on cold, Billy brings her tea and Amanda brings her medicine,
Speaker 4: and I say, go go to dinner without me, because
Speaker 4: I'm selfless, go without me. But they offered takeout, and
Speaker 4: Billy says, the three Musketeers remember, And I was like,
Speaker 4: I do not, does anyone know?
Speaker 6: But I did think that your cold acting worked entirely.
Speaker 6: I thought it was terrific, your commitment to it, and
Speaker 6: I do not let go over the entire episode. So
Speaker 6: I'm glad you like I thought it worked.
Speaker 4: I'm very committed to it, I believe. Then we have
Speaker 4: Billy and Amanda on this romantic walk by the lake,
Speaker 4: which apparently the way to the Chinese takeout place is
Speaker 4: along a beautiful lake. She's clearly freezing. Did you notice
Speaker 4: that she's clear She's got a big cool Aztechi sweater,
Speaker 4: but she's clearly freezing. And they're talking about his dream
Speaker 4: to write a novel. She tells him she dreamed of
Speaker 4: being an artist in Paris. They're having this very romantic talk,
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, she says, they must have
Speaker 4: walked past the Chinese takeout place, which appeared.
Speaker 6: Is along the beach on a side not a beach
Speaker 6: book what okay.
Speaker 2: Well, that's why I wrote it. It's actually knowing that
Speaker 2: area Castaic Park. You know, it's like a built in
Speaker 2: It's like a built lake with a with a sidewalk.
Speaker 5: It's not even a path or a decreation area sidewalk.
Speaker 2: It's a playground basically, you know, for the for the
Speaker 2: boaters kids.
Speaker 3: And there's no buildings. They're like the closest Chinese is
Speaker 3: thirty miles from them, like right, so obvious.
Speaker 6: Maybe she just missed the turnoff, like take a different
Speaker 6: sidewalk and then you've got thirty more miles to that.
Speaker 4: We missed the turnoff to the car to drive.
Speaker 2: But it's locations, you know, they're to have a budget,
Speaker 2: and Chip is there with his budget saying we're going
Speaker 2: to shoot this right.
Speaker 4: Here, beautiful and way too romantic. And when they pass it,
Speaker 4: Billy says, we must be preoccupied, and Amanda says we
Speaker 4: must have again or Alison home on her deathbed.
Speaker 6: Yep, yeah, I'm feeling very sad for me, Yes entirely,
Speaker 6: I'm yeah. And I learned that Alison or that Amanda
Speaker 6: loves to paint.
Speaker 1: I mean, do we are we?
Speaker 6: I know, I don't even remember that like doesn't compare
Speaker 6: us background, Like she's got all these like artistic things
Speaker 6: and do those coming to play later on with this character.
Speaker 1: We'll have to wait and find out. Because she's remembering.
Speaker 4: Naked pictures of all the men she sleeps with. Maybe
Speaker 4: that's how she Otherwise it doesn't really come back.
Speaker 6: But I do feel quite sorry for Alison every minute
Speaker 6: of this episode go on.
Speaker 4: Thank you. Plus that terrible cold Laura, it's really sad.
Speaker 2: I think it's pneumonia by now, so fast it came
Speaker 2: out because she were like in that close up.
Speaker 4: Hell, it was like a sick Okay, So now we're
Speaker 4: in shooters and this is so weird to me. So
Speaker 4: Terrence and Matt are sitting at the bar because Terrence
Speaker 4: has invited Matt out to talk about Rohnda. How would
Speaker 4: you feel about that? Have you ever had that when
Speaker 4: a friend talks to an ex. I remember that in
Speaker 4: high school.
Speaker 5: What would piss me off is if the ex, or
Speaker 5: not even the ex, the guy that I'm having trouble with,
Speaker 5: asked my best friend or my yeah, my best friend
Speaker 5: to talk.
Speaker 3: That's the worst part, right, Like maybe if they were
Speaker 3: friends before.
Speaker 2: I've had it where I'm dating someone and they're friends
Speaker 2: with somebody, and the whole thing gets annoying.
Speaker 3: But I haven't had that, you know what I.
Speaker 4: Mean, Like, Yeah, no, it's I think it's so inappropriate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a very high school thing to do.
Speaker 4: It's very high school. Although Matt defends himself by saying,
Speaker 4: turning down cries for help has never been my forte.
Speaker 4: But we do know, we do know that about Matt.
Speaker 4: And then Terrence says, and I find this so manipulative
Speaker 4: that helping him to win Ronda back would be Matt
Speaker 4: being a good friend to Ronda. Isn't that, Like I
Speaker 4: just went, that's.
Speaker 2: One of many things that Terrence has said that's all
Speaker 2: about him and his control. Exactly, it's bad for her
Speaker 2: because it doesn't work for me, so it's bad for her.
Speaker 4: That's what he exactly, That's exactly all I'm.
Speaker 1: Here to say.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so annoying.
Speaker 6: This is a scene where Matt's were in the backwards
Speaker 6: hat and he looks crazly like my son Jack.
Speaker 1: So I'm seeing I'm seeing this going.
Speaker 5: Whoa, oh, that's so our sun Jack.
Speaker 4: Yes, he does.
Speaker 6: So much mine as opposed to Courtney's sun Jack, because
Speaker 6: we both have a Jack.
Speaker 4: We got together and we planned our names back on
Speaker 4: the Hour's place. So we quickly forget Terrence and Matt
Speaker 4: because we start off in a restaurant with Joe and
Speaker 4: Jake just going at it. And she says, in a booth,
Speaker 4: this was very risque, you feel amazing. I was like,
Speaker 4: oh my goodness. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And it's close set medium so we don't see where
Speaker 2: any the other body party.
Speaker 6: It was extreme close up shots of just intimate making out,
Speaker 6: kissing PDA in.
Speaker 1: A booth at this restaurant. It was so funny, just the.
Speaker 4: Whole Yeah, very yummy making out. Were there rumors that
Speaker 4: you guys were going out in real life because the
Speaker 4: making out was super hot?
Speaker 3: It was good? But I cringe.
Speaker 4: It was good.
Speaker 3: It was good. Enjoyed going to work. I enjoyed going
Speaker 3: to work, clocking in, making money in going home. Yeah.
Speaker 2: But yeah, but this was a famous restaurant on Melrose.
Speaker 2: Did you guys ever go to Kianti?
Speaker 5: I had a birthday here in the back room one year,
Speaker 5: called this really well known Italian place.
Speaker 4: It looked jummy. So was the Art of Choke, Like
Speaker 4: they drop off the sexy food and art Choke and
Speaker 4: you guys are making out and eating an art to choke.
Speaker 4: I'm like, is that the sexiest food you could think of?
Speaker 2: Was? Not an oyster in the vicinity, not like a
Speaker 2: getting caught.
Speaker 1: In your teeth?
Speaker 3: I thought it was.
Speaker 2: That was her first risque line. And then she said
Speaker 2: I want you now, and I'm like, oh.
Speaker 5: Yeah, cliche can yeah close?
Speaker 4: Now here's up of your hand on his thigh, e
Speaker 4: squeezing his thigh.
Speaker 1: I was like, hello, that was that was quite that?
Speaker 1: This was? Was this Jefferson Kibbie director.
Speaker 7: Yes, moving right into mel Rose white intimate close ups
Speaker 7: of a long intimacy scene I thought in public, which
Speaker 7: was long, and the waiter who like the waiter, has

Speaker 1: Him just kind of going like a titan.
Speaker 4: I was for everybody.
Speaker 3: I was just me too. I was just going to stop.
Speaker 2: I can't believe I didn't say stop on the day,
Speaker 2: but I was just like twenty probably I think it
Speaker 2: was thirty or something, late twenties, just going this is
Speaker 2: what I'm supposed to do, and oh.

Speaker 1: What was really sell it?
Speaker 4: After you squeeze his leg. He goes, let's see it
Speaker 4: at home, and he throws money on the table, And
Speaker 4: as you're racing out for some reason, you turn around
Speaker 4: and announce to the waiter we couldn't wait.
Speaker 1: Yeah you had. You had to give an explanation.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a great scene.
Speaker 1: I thought, Yeah, it really was.
Speaker 4: It was super sexy. So now we're back at the
Speaker 4: lake house and we're all surrounded by takeout. Continuency had
Speaker 4: Chinese food because they finally found it. They walked and
Speaker 4: drove and went thirty miles to Chinese take a place,

Speaker 1: And when he read the script did he misread it
Speaker 1: at first? And why am I.
Speaker 4: Name that anals? Well it just made me laugh. So
Speaker 4: he admits that he didn't tell Alison about Keith calling
Speaker 4: after they broke up, which is pretty intense information, right did.
Speaker 3: We see that?
Speaker 4: Oh we did see that on the show. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: we did see that.
Speaker 6: You know, she left an abusive relationship with a married guy, like,
Speaker 6: she left a not good situation, and his protecting her
Speaker 6: from it does seem like it was a good idea.
Speaker 6: But we can see in the scene that Alison is
Speaker 6: bothered to learn that he kept that from her.
Speaker 1: Wait, wait what I missed a call? Like oh, and
Speaker 1: that's the first moment of like, no, no, no, no, don't be
Speaker 1: bothered like you should.
Speaker 6: I'm rooting for Alison here to not have a bummed
Speaker 6: out reaction like you know.
Speaker 4: Oh, I don't tell you, like you're going to be disappointed.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 2: I can tell that Billy is saying that too. To
Speaker 2: give it to you know, just turn the screw a
Speaker 2: little bit. He's into like pissing you off. Oh you
Speaker 2: think that's yeah?
Speaker 3: I think so. I mean, you guys just have this
Speaker 3: back and forth. And he's like, I have a confession.
Speaker 2: I mean, if he's yeah, I think, isn't I think
Speaker 2: unless I'm reading it wrong, that he confessed it's a
Speaker 2: lie to you.
Speaker 3: No, well, that he didn't lie the truth when the
Speaker 3: call came.
Speaker 6: He's admitting it now, But I got I got the
Speaker 6: sense that he really did think that was the right
Speaker 6: thing to do. He was protecting her. He thought this
Speaker 6: is a bad relationship and this is the right thing.
Speaker 2: But he's choosing to say that now to Alison, where
Speaker 2: she's already sick and feeling un and disempowered and off
Speaker 2: her you know game, And he's like, oh, I want
Speaker 2: to say I never I just think it was a dig,
Speaker 2: that's all.
Speaker 3: I just think it was a dig.
Speaker 5: No, maybe you guys do this back and forth.
Speaker 4: So then Amanda admits that she doesn't have a boyfriend. Well,
Speaker 4: she says, they kind of have a boyfriend, but they
Speaker 4: don't see each other. They see each other once a
Speaker 4: year and write letters. Again, no email, Like I have
Speaker 4: to tell him something you write a letter, and you
Speaker 4: said apparently, I don't buck on the phone anyway. Then
Speaker 4: Billy says, that's not a boyfriend, that's a pen pal,
Speaker 4: which I thought was a good line.
Speaker 2: And that doesn't she say, I think it's I use
Speaker 2: it as a protection so I don't get involved with guys.
Speaker 5: Yeah, isn't she confessing that for Billy? She's saying that
Speaker 5: for him?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's he's just a ruse, like I just.
Speaker 4: He's not real for him too, Yeah, it's not real.
Speaker 4: I'm available. I'm available. And then Billy asked if anyone
Speaker 4: who's ever really been in love, and the camera just
Speaker 4: pans across through quiet faces. Although I think Alison loved Keith, right.
Speaker 6: I don't know if she do you think she thinks?
Speaker 6: I don't know that she was thinking that in this moment, though.
Speaker 6: I loved that that they left the question hanging. Nobody
Speaker 6: answered it.
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, I think you.
Speaker 6: Had I think, yeah, yeah, I mean I think you
Speaker 6: can read a lot of things into it, Like I
Speaker 6: want to read into it that she's thinking, well, maybe
Speaker 6: I'm in love with Billy, But wait, is that you know,
Speaker 6: Like there's a lot of ways to read into that look.
Speaker 6: So I just love that it wasn't answered at all,
Speaker 6: and I don't want her to be in love with Keith.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's where I am.
Speaker 4: It's going to be very disappointing for you, Laura. So
Speaker 4: now we're back outside Joe's apartment, and so Jake and
Speaker 4: Joe are so excited as we saw in the restaurant.
Speaker 4: They couldn't even wait, and Joe can't even work her keys.
Speaker 3: So nervous.
Speaker 4: She says, I can't believe this. I'm so nervous, and
Speaker 4: Jake adorably says, I am too. Oh so sweet. She
Speaker 4: invites him in, and they're all nervous, and Daphne, did
Speaker 4: you notice your tassel pants?
Speaker 1: Can we talk about that?
Speaker 4: The fan pants?
Speaker 5: They're like sweater iconic not sweater. They were tassels.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like if you shake Shania Twain or Beyonce would
Speaker 2: wear in a Western thing like they shake when you moved.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were like layers tears of fringy things all
Speaker 1: the way down. They were so cute, And of course
Speaker 1: we didn't see them in the restaurant, but now we.
Speaker 4: Get to see them. I'm so glad we gotten somebody
Speaker 4: in them.
Speaker 3: I think there was I moved a little so he
Speaker 3: could see them. Well, you know, I'm nervous.
Speaker 4: I know it was. And then Joe says I feel
Speaker 4: like I'm fifteen, which is so sweet. And then Jay
Speaker 4: gentleman that he is asked if it's too soon, but
Speaker 4: she says no and just rips his shirt off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, not too soon. Let's go.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, let's go. And it's so cute. Then
Speaker 4: you disappeared down into the bedroom.
Speaker 6: Do you remember if you shot this out of order,
Speaker 6: like if you shot the apartment first, because I got
Speaker 6: it was so it was such a you like backpedaled,
Speaker 6: you guys, the characters are back pedaling on the like urgency.
Speaker 6: You know, all of a sudden you get to like
Speaker 6: the apartment, it's like, oh shoot, we're really gonna do this,
Speaker 6: you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So the energy and the urgency isn't.
Speaker 3: Like do we shoot what out of what do you mean?
Speaker 6: Like the restaurant scene where you're making out, like man,
Speaker 6: You're like we have to go now and we need
Speaker 6: to have sex now.
Speaker 1: It is like the message in that scene.
Speaker 6: And then and then you get to the apartment and
Speaker 6: it's like so sweet and so like careful and I.
Speaker 5: Just thought it was I thought that worked because.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's one thing to be that.
Speaker 2: You can't you really have sex in a restaurant, unless
Speaker 2: it's the club that Heather goes to.
Speaker 3: You can't have sex in a restaurant.
Speaker 2: So it's safe to kind of go at it and
Speaker 2: tease each other and push the envelope. And then they
Speaker 2: actually get to the door and then in the apartment
Speaker 2: where they're actually going to happen, and I feel like
Speaker 2: the moment is makes them both nervous.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought that was but I just thought that
Speaker 6: was so cute and insightful and stuff. And then but
Speaker 6: it also made me wonder if you'd shot it out
Speaker 6: of order, like you wouldn't have the idea that, oh,
Speaker 6: this one is going to be so frenzied, Like it
Speaker 6: wouldn't have distracted you from like how to play this scene.
Speaker 4: I've had this happen. You're at the restaurant, then you
Speaker 4: have the drive home and it's kind of you know,
Speaker 4: you get nervous and you can't get it again, and
Speaker 4: then it's like what are we doing?
Speaker 1: It's just starting again.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was so sweet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's more realistic than if you were
Speaker 2: just like hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, go for it.
Speaker 3: I feel like you know, it's real, It's real.
Speaker 4: It's such a sweet layer this. I love this relationship.
Speaker 4: I'm already sad that you guys are going to break up.
Speaker 4: I'm already sad. I think it's so sweet.
Speaker 1: Wait what the spoilers?
Speaker 4: No? Wait, well unless they're still together somewhere. Did I
Speaker 4: miss that? I mean, at one point, I remember I kissed.
Speaker 4: I can go to the next thing. Something else breaking
Speaker 4: me out.
Speaker 1: All right, let's enjoy it while still.
Speaker 4: So we're back at the lake house, Billy Allison.
Speaker 2: And sorry, I have a note. Sorry, Fortney, gotta stop you.
Speaker 2: I have notes in all caps, and this is my note.
Speaker 5: And by the way, Court her bookshelves are full of books.
Speaker 4: Oh you're so you're settled packed with books. You're settled
Speaker 4: in I thought of you. Oh that's very sweet.
Speaker 1: I love that evolution.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she just went out and bottlet went out like
Speaker 3: the used bookstore.
Speaker 4: It just like books by the yard. Yep.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 4: So now we're back at the lake house. Billy, Alison
Speaker 4: and Amanda are putting away dishes. Alison goes to bed
Speaker 4: because I don't know if I mentioned she has a cold,
Speaker 4: you may not have noticed Tully like this the whole time.
Speaker 4: She doesn't feeling great, and so she leaves Billy and
Speaker 4: amandaal and just put away the last bit of the dishes,
Speaker 4: and Amanda says of Alison, she's terrific. I haven't made
Speaker 4: a friend like that at work in a long time,
Speaker 4: which for some reason prumps Billy to kiss her. Well,
Speaker 4: excuse me, were you shocked?
Speaker 1: I was so disappointed and.
Speaker 6: Billy, I actually my note was like crying face emoji, like,
Speaker 6: you know, like disappointed and like the I wasn't.
Speaker 5: I was happy for them because that's happening with Alison.
Speaker 3: She's like got a cold.
Speaker 2: She's like, she's making it very clear that you know
Speaker 2: that happening. There's nothing sexy going on over here.
Speaker 4: But there was way too much going on in the kitchen.
Speaker 4: They made up for way too long. Finally, and Manda
Speaker 4: pulls back and says good night Billy and leaves the room,
Speaker 4: and then Alison yells in from the other room. You're like,
Speaker 4: don't forget to turn off the lights, put the fire on.
Speaker 4: The fire is yes, make sure the fires out. That
Speaker 4: was a good little double on catch yeah, right, thank you, Laura.
Speaker 4: That's a much better line.
Speaker 6: And I sort of and I believed Amanda when she
Speaker 6: said she was like, you know, I haven't made a
Speaker 6: friend like this in a long time. I believed that
Speaker 6: sincerity of that moment, and so I was extra disappoin
Speaker 6: I know that this was happening, well, I know, and
Speaker 6: in the scene I don't believe it for long, but
Speaker 6: Allison's looking.
Speaker 4: At her like my friend, Like she's so enamored of
Speaker 4: her new boss and friend and co workers.
Speaker 2: So this just me that that works and that other
Speaker 2: that other side of the cubicle for so long, I mean, just.
Speaker 3: Out of nowhere. She's the first friend I've made, you know.
Speaker 4: You know, Amanda, I've known it forever. I've never talked
Speaker 4: to her once. Yeah, okay, So now we're in Joe's.
Speaker 4: It's the morning, so Jake wakes up alone and calls
Speaker 4: up to Joe. She appears with the tray of berries
Speaker 4: and whipped cream. There's some talk about their fathers and
Speaker 4: some family history, but the most important part about the
Speaker 4: scene is that he starts putting whipped cream on her
Speaker 4: toes and I'm screaming at the TV. Were you screaming
Speaker 4: and you're.
Speaker 3: Totally yet I just want you to know I washed
Speaker 3: my toes.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you did, and.
Speaker 2: Like you did, but Joe didn't have that wife, but
Speaker 2: to wash the toes again.
Speaker 6: And you're and you're super cute about it, like you're
Speaker 6: like heat that tickles and whatever. That's you made it
Speaker 6: as cute as it possibly could be, because in general
Speaker 6: that's yuck.
Speaker 1: Just saying and you did a great job if not
Speaker 1: having it be yuck.
Speaker 4: People do that. And I was like, no, I don't
Speaker 4: know what the thing is with toes. I'm like, that
Speaker 4: is not a.
Speaker 6: That we don't need to put food on them and
Speaker 6: then lick it off. We don't need to do that. Yeah,
Speaker 6: whip cream doesn't make it better. It's still food on
Speaker 6: your toes that you're just choosing to look up.
Speaker 1: That is a bad choice.
Speaker 5: And we want to raise our ratings and not like
Speaker 5: lower them.
Speaker 3: Can't we act a little young and sexy? Please?
Speaker 6: Well you did it as best anybody ever could of
Speaker 6: making it seem cute.
Speaker 1: Still just saying the general conceit is like.
Speaker 4: And I know it's a thing like people like it.
Speaker 4: It just doesn't happen to be my thing.
Speaker 1: The three of us here are all saying you, yeah, we're.
Speaker 2: Anti we're saying in real life, yeah, we do it
Speaker 2: all the time, right, and ours at eight o'clock before.
Speaker 4: But I do it to my dog, so it's not weird.
Speaker 4: So that's not weird. You're not weird.
Speaker 6: There was also the pink sheets of this scene that
Speaker 6: struck it opened.
Speaker 1: Yeah, pink satin sheets that Jake is.
Speaker 4: They satin sheets?
Speaker 3: Yes, pink satin.
Speaker 4: So great, she's got pink satin.
Speaker 2: You think Joe went to bed, bath and beyond when
Speaker 2: she got to town or do you think she brought
Speaker 2: those from her from her apartment in.
Speaker 4: New York whenever you got all new?
Speaker 1: These are new.
Speaker 4: I think these are memories in New York. You probably
Speaker 4: bought them the day before. That's probably you didn't want
Speaker 4: to do it yesterday because you had to get news.
Speaker 3: That's true. Probably. What's that? What's that other? I have them?
Speaker 3: What's the it's not felt, it's not velvet.
Speaker 4: It's silk satin.
Speaker 3: No, No, the comfy stuff, the cozy still.
Speaker 2: Lurel the sheets she probably planted.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, but once she laid eyes on the hot
Speaker 6: neighbor downstairs, she's like I need some pink.
Speaker 4: Lid right off them. So finally Joe says it tickles,
Speaker 4: and Jake says, let's see where else you're ticklish, and
Speaker 4: thank God moves up and kisses her on her face.
Speaker 4: Because we've all had a good enough we've all had
Speaker 4: about enough of the toes.
Speaker 3: Can we all just say how it's annoying?
Speaker 2: It is when someone says, oh, I'm going to tickle you, like,
Speaker 2: does anyone really like that?
Speaker 4: No? Tickling it's an aggression.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god, it's yeah, okay, makes me furious.
Speaker 4: All right, So back at they like us, Billy and
Speaker 4: Amanda are having fun cooking breakfast. Billy's got a French accent.
Speaker 4: They're making mimoses because it's you have a French accent.
Speaker 4: That's how I drank. He's having a maga of all.
Speaker 4: I think it's French. It's somebody.
Speaker 3: It's Billy's version of French version.
Speaker 4: I'm not saying it's a great French accent. And they
Speaker 4: they open the champagne and they're spraying each other and
Speaker 4: they're laughing, and there they're rolling around on the floor
Speaker 4: like a couple of animals.
Speaker 3: Wonderfully with all that champagne.
Speaker 4: Yes, uh huh, and then Alison enters wrapped in a
Speaker 4: blanket again Bully committed to the cold and sees them
Speaker 4: together and the buzzkill. But how heartbreaking was it when
Speaker 4: all in the blanket and she's so sad, she's all
Speaker 4: snotty and there they are on the floor and she says,
Speaker 4: I'd liked it, but I'd like to go back early
Speaker 4: so it doesn't get more serious beat beat beat, like cold, I.
Speaker 3: Beat the cold, I mean.
Speaker 4: More serious, no more. But also so sad.
Speaker 6: So sad for because they really did paint Alison in
Speaker 6: a pathetic light and the contrast wasn't you It was
Speaker 6: the writers right, and.
Speaker 1: It was very sad.
Speaker 6: As an audience member, we all it was fair, I said,
Speaker 6: I felt for Alison.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was very sad.
Speaker 6: Wasn't this the scene that didn't Heather say that this
Speaker 6: scene had to be shot twice because there was no film?
Speaker 4: I said, it was two in the morning, and it
Speaker 4: was the days of film now for you kids used
Speaker 4: to have something called film that you had to put
Speaker 4: in a camera and take out of the camera. And
Speaker 4: they changed the film and then we went on break
Speaker 4: and he was going to change we got back but
Speaker 4: forgot So we filmed this whole scene getting wet, getting
Speaker 4: covered in champagne, and it was late at night. There
Speaker 4: was no film in the camera. We had to redo it.
Speaker 4: It was heartbreaking.
Speaker 3: And you said he didn't come back next year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, which was so sad because we did love him. Well,
Speaker 4: there's no film anymore, that's not that's not a concern anymore.
Speaker 3: But yeah, they made it.
Speaker 4: Charge of watching the current version. Charge about So then
Speaker 4: we're back in Luna's apartment and she is furious, of
Speaker 4: course that Matt met up with Terrence. There's tons of
Speaker 4: boundary issues. And then Matt says, if it's over, why
Speaker 4: are you so sensitive? And I was like, well, because
Speaker 4: she just broke up an engagement, Like doesn't it make sense?
Speaker 1: And she says it kind of a big deal.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I was thinking, like, because Doug is sweet. Doug,
Speaker 4: only he could make this sort of make sense, right,
Speaker 4: Like I have compassion for Matt because Doug is so sweet.
Speaker 4: Anybody else I would just hate them.
Speaker 6: In this scene, yeah, it's like you didn't participant in
Speaker 6: this plan. But he's also like calling out what he
Speaker 6: sees and run like I am reluctant to even get
Speaker 6: involved in this, but I do have to say, it
Speaker 6: looks like you might still have feelings and maybe there's
Speaker 6: something else you should be doing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: The thing is when you were have you, guys, ever
Speaker 5: been pulled into the middle, like sucked into the middle
Speaker 5: of you Just.
Speaker 3: There's no win win, like there's you know, you have.
Speaker 2: The each side want you to be loyal to them,
Speaker 2: and if you choose one inevitably will be used against you.
Speaker 3: If you just do a little bit to each that'll
Speaker 3: be you'll be both go at you. I mean, there's
Speaker 3: no winning.
Speaker 4: Yeah, especially if God forbid they get back together and
Speaker 4: it's right, yeah, yeah, he's the worst.
Speaker 5: And then they both interview what are you to do?
Speaker 3: And they both turn on just don't answer your phone.
Speaker 4: I guess, I guess. It's a tough situation. So now
Speaker 4: we're back in Joe's appointment, super post coital, and Joe
Speaker 4: feels of Jake's muscles for the rest of us, which,
Speaker 4: thank you for doing that. Sweet, was super nice for
Speaker 4: you to do that for us, And you look and
Speaker 4: you're looking very pleased with yourself. Then Jake says that
Speaker 4: was great, and jokers, yes it was, and the audience
Speaker 4: is like, I knew it was going to be great.
Speaker 4: I knew it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I love that the I love the whole
Speaker 2: vibe of that.
Speaker 5: The morning after and they're so comfortable with each other.
Speaker 5: You know, she comes out in her robe, her.
Speaker 2: That beautiful satin robe that she has kimono or something,
Speaker 2: and he's so comfortable, and you know he was so
Speaker 2: it's so.
Speaker 3: Great to see grant is Jake uh just.
Speaker 5: His warmth and caring towards her for this whole arc
Speaker 5: and then now too, he's comforting and he's like, hey, hey, Joe,
Speaker 5: and she's like, yeah, that was great.
Speaker 3: You know, I was like so reassured. She's just like, yeah,
Speaker 3: it was because she's a tough girl. She couldn't just
Speaker 3: say oh, so glad, you know. She's like, yeah, it
Speaker 3: was because I've had a lot too.
Speaker 5: Anyway, it is very very sweet to get upstairs downstairs.
Speaker 1: So you just know, you know, yeah, very morning after
Speaker 1: in love vibe.
Speaker 4: Oh so so sweet, so yummy. So then we're outside
Speaker 4: the exterior the apartment. Billy and Allison are walking in
Speaker 4: and they're checking their mail, and Alan, because you're sulking,
Speaker 4: she goes, no, I'm not she's throwing mail at in.
Speaker 5: One piece of a time like for me, throws it
Speaker 5: to him.
Speaker 1: Why would I be sulking?
Speaker 4: She says, I have been sulking because and then she's
Speaker 4: obviously offended that Billy hit on Amanda, and she says,
Speaker 4: this line killed me. And this is when you go.
Speaker 4: You know, we had to do exact words, and this
Speaker 4: is worded so strangely. One would think you would have
Speaker 4: the sense to hit on someone other than the woman
Speaker 4: I work with every day. So suddenly I'm on doubt
Speaker 4: and Abby, I don't know what yes one one would
Speaker 4: think because maybe I'm royalty tell.
Speaker 2: Me or Maggie Smith, which just proves how unsexy they're
Speaker 2: making you exactly exactly.
Speaker 4: And then Billy defends himself by saying, there's an attraction,
Speaker 4: a chemistry is something I hardly ever felt before.
Speaker 1: And I just didn't plan this.
Speaker 4: Allison oh the mouth right, like he can't help himself.
Speaker 4: It's so sad. So again, as an actor.
Speaker 2: You know, when you're shooting the show, you like we've
Speaker 2: talked about, you have your own story. So I'd come
Speaker 2: on days and shoot, you know, my thing and few
Speaker 2: scenes and then go and you don't I mean I
Speaker 2: read the scripts. Don't get me wrong, I didn't realize
Speaker 2: like that you guys weren't together this whole time.
Speaker 3: I thought you were. You know, Billy and Allison, you'd
Speaker 3: been together already.
Speaker 4: Well, you were confused because Andrew and I were together.
Speaker 3: It was very confused. I guess you were so.
Speaker 6: And it must have been, like it's pretty easy to
Speaker 6: be pissed, as you know, in this scene like that,
Speaker 6: it's like, ew, Yeah.
Speaker 4: One of the things you talked about with Heather, which
Speaker 4: is so true, is it would have been very challenging
Speaker 4: to have Heather Lockler and make out with my real
Speaker 4: life boyfriend. But she's such a girl's girl, right, Like,
Speaker 4: there's none of she's not flirting, she wasn't doing it.
Speaker 4: She was completely on my side with me, and then
Speaker 4: she'd go make out with him. But I never thought
Speaker 4: for a second there was anything complicated going on, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like that could have been really
Speaker 4: scary for me. But it's just so profoundly not who
Speaker 4: she is, which I just really another thing we appreciate
Speaker 4: about her. Yeah, So she tells him again very clearly
Speaker 4: she doesn't want them to date, and he shrugs. Ah,
Speaker 4: so now we're in D and D and Alis and
Speaker 4: Amanda are discussing very important advertising business and Amanda, who really,
Speaker 4: even though she's not mentioning that they've already made out twice,
Speaker 4: she tells Alison that she thinks Billy is smart and
Speaker 4: funny and asked hy they're not dating, and Alison laughs
Speaker 4: way too hard, way too hard, and says, oh, oh oh,
Speaker 4: the thought of being in a relationship with him. He's
Speaker 4: completely in love with someone every week and then he's
Speaker 4: out of there. So I'm a little bit defending a
Speaker 4: little bit.
Speaker 2: And she says, what he dumps them, and she's like, no,
Speaker 2: they dumb him because he's such a listener.
Speaker 3: I'm just like, calm down, missy.
Speaker 4: She does protests too much.
Speaker 6: I loved that part of the scene that Allison was
Speaker 6: playing it off with just the opposite, you know, like
Speaker 6: oh no. I just loved that oppositeness of how she
Speaker 6: really felt and that was so clear.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and did you guys notice the Frida Callo picture
Speaker 2: right between you?
Speaker 3: Between you guys? I think this is the scene, if
Speaker 3: not as the next scene.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I didn't, I didn't notice. But Amanda doubles
Speaker 4: down and says he's adorable, to which Allison says, I
Speaker 4: hope your criteria extends beyond adorable, because I am just
Speaker 4: not happy about it. So then Amanda smiles an apropos
Speaker 4: of nothing, suggests maybe they work at Allison's house tonight.
Speaker 4: That's a great idea, don't you guys? Thinks a great idea.
Speaker 4: Really don't have to do this. Allison says yes, because
Speaker 4: she's already doubled down and said she doesn't care. So
Speaker 4: Amanda and Allison are working on the coffee table. Billy
Speaker 4: enters and as they're doing, and Allison says, very lovingly working,
Speaker 4: we won't be offended if.
Speaker 1: You leave totally loving, totally loving.
Speaker 4: Super loving. Instead of leaving, he settles in and offers
Speaker 4: the tagline maximize your advantage in life and love It
Speaker 4: might make the difference.
Speaker 6: Well, did you notice that, like Allison, Yeah, Allison's working
Speaker 6: on subliminal imaging and Amanda is working on finding pictures
Speaker 6: of happy, successful people maximizing their advantage. It's like, oh,
Speaker 6: I guess that is exactly what we're doing here. Yes, yes,
Speaker 6: so working for Matt and she is working on that.
Speaker 4: Yes, and it's perfect and we're going to come to
Speaker 4: a subliminal, subliminal message, and then Amanda loves it and
Speaker 4: sends Alison out of the room to find an article
Speaker 4: because remember when you had to have actual articles. You
Speaker 4: couldn't just look at you didn't say hey, Google that,
Speaker 4: you had to actually get up and leave. And in
Speaker 4: the in the three seconds when Alison's out of the room,
Speaker 4: Billy asks Amanda out for coffee at nine thirty pm,
Speaker 4: which is, need we say, an insane time for anything
Speaker 4: to happen.
Speaker 1: But also don't tell Allison. Let's just do this secretly.
Speaker 2: But still I guess for I guess, like she agrees
Speaker 2: to go, but she does say like, and he's like,
Speaker 2: let's just keep it between us, and she's like okay.
Speaker 2: But then I like, how you know Amanda immediately butts
Speaker 2: all that up and says, I'm not going to keep secrets,
Speaker 2: you know. But she's like okay, But she's like, why
Speaker 2: do they want to keep the secret?
Speaker 3: She's like, these guys have.
Speaker 5: More going on than they're even know themselves, Like you
Speaker 5: guys had.
Speaker 4: Much deeper thoughts. I was just thinking nine thirty is
Speaker 4: too late for coffee.
Speaker 3: Like I just what was it? Like Cash should be.
Speaker 4: Home by nine thirty in your pajamas. That's not the
Speaker 4: time to start the Nine days.
Speaker 6: I also noticed that Allison started saying so long a
Speaker 6: lot in this episode.
Speaker 1: Did you notice that?
Speaker 6: Like she said to Amanda at some point, all right,
Speaker 6: so long, Amanda, like you know, buddy, old pale, weird.
Speaker 6: And then she says it in this scene when Billy
Speaker 6: leaves to Billy's so long, Like what that's such a
Speaker 6: cow clue, isn't it just seems so funny?
Speaker 1: So long?
Speaker 4: Did one start saying so long? I think one started.
Speaker 1: Saying that was Alison.
Speaker 4: Okay, So we're back in Shooters, which as we know,
Speaker 4: is the only bar in Los Angeles. Turns into the
Speaker 4: table and Ronda enters in a very sexy green like
Speaker 4: half top.
Speaker 1: Super cute.
Speaker 4: We're just on her and I would never have the
Speaker 4: guts to wear that cute, never ever have the guts
Speaker 4: to wear crop top. Yeah, super crop top. And she
Speaker 4: tells him that she cares about him, but she needed
Speaker 4: more than a few weeks to think about marriage. He
Speaker 4: asks why she didn't say that, and then they sort
Speaker 4: of She said, this is a cute lie. I thought,
Speaker 4: she says, I was flattered. Nobody's ever asked me to
Speaker 4: marry them before.
Speaker 5: She's very honest in all this and all of her
Speaker 5: you know, she.
Speaker 2: Goes, I couldn't, I couldn't decide that in two weeks
Speaker 2: I didn't, And then I dawned on me she only
Speaker 2: had two weeks to.
Speaker 3: Make a decision to marry this guy.
Speaker 6: That's not very long, but it does feel like he
Speaker 6: hears her. It feels like he hears her a little bit,
Speaker 6: and the scene is like, all right, well, let's press pause,
Speaker 6: you know. Then they agree to press pause together. I
Speaker 6: think for the first time he is sort of going, okay, great,
Speaker 6: we can take time.
Speaker 4: It's also romantic. I had someone ask me to marry
Speaker 4: them once, way, way, way too early. But it's like
Speaker 4: in all these movies, you're gonna go, yeah, why not,
Speaker 4: And then you know, a couple months in we got
Speaker 4: to know each other. Writers like oh yeah, no, no, no.
Speaker 4: But it really was kind of exciting and romantic because
Speaker 4: we see it in movies all the time, right, So anyway,
Speaker 4: I know, I know why she did it, and I
Speaker 4: know why she also said never mind. So now we're
Speaker 4: in the coffee shop at night at the ungodly hour
Speaker 4: of nine thirty and Amanda joins Billy and says she's
Speaker 4: late because Alison is a workaholic, which seems unnecessarily rude
Speaker 4: to Alison. Right now, she's just.
Speaker 3: A pile of from the writers, to the costumer, the characters.
Speaker 3: It's just like the pile.
Speaker 4: On Alison exactly. And then Billy says, which made me furious.
Speaker 4: You don't know how many nights I spend in here
Speaker 4: alone writing in my notebook, watching the cars go by,
Speaker 4: just wishing I was sitting across from someone as beautiful
Speaker 4: as you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, laid it on, Hello, Billy, Hello.
Speaker 4: So then he's then he completely ruins that by saying
Speaker 4: it's a good thing that she shared a room with
Speaker 4: Alvin at the Lakehouse because she hadn't a wild animal
Speaker 4: might have crawled under your covers.
Speaker 1: That was not a romantic line.
Speaker 6: In this same breath, Yeah, they're saying he's a hopeless romantic.
Speaker 1: But then he throws that line out there that.
Speaker 3: Ismsing I'm thinking, is the Godfather?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Is that animal head?
Speaker 5: Are the covers?
Speaker 6: I'm like, wait, yeah, it was a very dorky, not
Speaker 6: romantic line.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was wrong, And then she says, but then
Speaker 4: it works on her for some reason because she says,
Speaker 4: why are they keeping the relationship a secret? How it's
Speaker 4: a relationship already, I don't know, And she says, we're
Speaker 4: all grown ups here, and I don't want to keep
Speaker 4: this from her, and then she kisses him, and I
Speaker 4: have a feeling that she's going to be winning this
Speaker 4: and every argument from now on, because have you seen her?
Speaker 4: So then yeah. So then we're in the courtyard and
Speaker 4: Jane and Michael the first time we see them the first.
Speaker 1: Episode at all, coming back for your jog.
Speaker 4: Jogging in and run into Jake, who says he'd lost
Speaker 4: a couple of days, which was really.
Speaker 1: Cute, nice, but Jane seemed to know what he was
Speaker 1: referring to.
Speaker 4: She's like, did well, they probably knew they were, you know,
Speaker 4: they're underneath them, so they probably maybe the furniture banging around.
Speaker 4: So he walks up to Joe's apartment and they have
Speaker 4: this sweet, shy scene and he says he dreamed about her,
Speaker 4: and she asked how work was, and he says anticlimactic
Speaker 4: and really lonely, and I wrote here swoon like I
Speaker 4: was like, I was, oh my god, it's so sweet,
Speaker 4: And just as I warned you about its being too
Speaker 4: good together and they have this really sweet flable scene.
Speaker 4: Mm hmm, right, yeah, I really liked it. I thought
Speaker 4: it was so sweet, and.
Speaker 6: Then Jake, Yeah, they're thinking about their future, like, hey,
Speaker 6: what does this mean for us?
Speaker 1: Like I just love that line.
Speaker 4: I told yeah, and they're saying they're both scared, and
Speaker 4: he says, why don't we just make it up as
Speaker 4: we go along, and then Joe, instead of saying yes,
Speaker 4: says we could try.
Speaker 3: It's like, what.
Speaker 4: Still holding it very close to the vest. Yeah, Joe
Speaker 4: is not ready to surrender. But then she asked about
Speaker 4: his dream and they again disappear into the bedroom.
Speaker 3: She's like, well, tell me about your dream and he's like,
Speaker 3: come here.
Speaker 4: Let me show you sweetheart again. Hello so sweet. So
Speaker 4: now we're back in D and D and Amanda and
Speaker 4: Allison are talking across her cubicles and Alison tells me
Speaker 4: how much she wants her partnership.
Speaker 3: This is the Frida callosit this is it?
Speaker 4: This is it?
Speaker 3: Because you're eating salad or something you're eating.
Speaker 4: Alison's eating salad and Amanda starts eating it. And that's
Speaker 4: not the only thing she takes from Alison, by the way,
Speaker 4: and Amanda tells her that she really likes Billy and
Speaker 4: he seems to like her too, and I want you
Speaker 4: to know that we're dating. I didn't think mind. I
Speaker 4: was like, what's happening? What's happening? And al Nelson, clearly upset,
Speaker 4: says no, I mean why should I what am I
Speaker 4: your parents?
Speaker 3: That was good.
Speaker 4: I think we're all mad. Right, It's not just.
Speaker 2: Me but.
Speaker 3: Understandable.
Speaker 6: I'm disappointed and sad for sure, but I feel like
Speaker 6: Amanda's trying to do the right thing and she's being principal,
Speaker 6: like I don't want to keep secrets, and you said
Speaker 6: that you're not into him. I am, and we're going
Speaker 6: to do this. And Billy said he didn't want you know,
Speaker 6: you to know because you had said you wanted to
Speaker 6: keep your personal professional life separate. Like that moment of
Speaker 6: like finding out that Billy told Amanda what.
Speaker 1: Alison had said and why she didn't want is like
Speaker 1: that was.
Speaker 6: The like, really, not only are you dating, but you
Speaker 6: also told her what I said. Yeah, this is when
Speaker 6: Alison like that trail Yeah, yeah, oh my god, I'm
Speaker 6: eating all your salad.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So yeah, then Amanda says, thinking meeting all your salad
Speaker 4: and Allison says Sharon Shara like, right, is clearly not okay,
Speaker 4: that was the.
Speaker 3: Last line you said that you gave her.
Speaker 5: The sums more solid and Frieda kallus, I'm gonna buy
Speaker 5: this this looking down over you.
Speaker 2: Too, and I'm like, I remember Freda Kala. I don't
Speaker 2: remember too much about her biography, but she have to do.
Speaker 2: It's so important, except that her husband, uh Diego had
Speaker 2: lots of mistresses, so he shared I do know that
Speaker 2: about Freda.
Speaker 4: Well maybe that's her husband. So we're back in Billy
Speaker 4: and Allison's apartment. He's working at his typewriter and Alison
Speaker 4: storms in and says, I leave the room for one second.
Speaker 4: You sleeze your way into a date. So very different
Speaker 4: reaction he's getting than Amanda got, and Billy says she's overreacting,
Speaker 4: then doubles down with just because you don't want other
Speaker 4: people having what you and Keith lost.
Speaker 1: That, which is very mean, very twisty.
Speaker 4: Right yeah. So then we cut right away to Amanda's
Speaker 4: apartment and Amanda and Billy are coming in from a
Speaker 4: date and she camp moments his writing challenge. He compliments
Speaker 4: her apartment and she says, use it all you want
Speaker 4: when I'm not here when I am, like what that
Speaker 4: seems very fast.
Speaker 5: She's encouraging him to not be stuck at home with
Speaker 5: that wench that's so miserable and such a Buzky's.
Speaker 4: Right away, but.
Speaker 6: Knowing what we know, like it like with with Amanda
Speaker 6: wearing a long, flowy dress in this scene, it's like
Speaker 6: so not her character, Like that was did you notice
Speaker 6: her flowy dress?
Speaker 1: Like out?
Speaker 6: But yeah, and the like just a romantic vibe of
Speaker 6: a dress. It wasn't like a business suit.
Speaker 1: It was just Yeah, it was like a interesting look
Speaker 1: for her.
Speaker 6: And also like I had to remind myself, Oh, this
Speaker 6: nice apartment that she's living in is not at Miller's place,
Speaker 6: Like she lives somewhere else, like we're so used to envisioning.
Speaker 3: I think boats and stuff. So it was like, say Marina,
Speaker 3: it was to get point that she.
Speaker 1: Was living somewhere else.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's interesting. So Billy tells her that he feels
Speaker 4: guilty about Alison, but Amanda says she's fine, and then
Speaker 4: he says, let's not talk about Alison, and she says,
Speaker 4: let's not talk at all, and then they make out again.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, I gotta let us on what's happening here.
Speaker 1: It is happening.
Speaker 4: So then we're back at Billy and Allison's apartment, and
Speaker 4: poor Allison is on the character the half gallon of
Speaker 4: ice cream and a spoon, and then she looks over
Speaker 4: to picture of Keith, picture of Keith and picks up
Speaker 4: the phone, to which which woman Laura is going, No,
Speaker 4: she's not a fan. Yeah, his machine answers, and she
Speaker 4: chooses not to leave a message instead says damn under.
Speaker 2: Her breath, because nobody wants Allison to be with Keith
Speaker 2: again or to reach out in this horrible, vulnerable state
Speaker 2: that she's in.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and nobody fear that's what's happening, and that's how
Speaker 6: the episode ends, and feeling sorry for Alan and dread
Speaker 6: of what she's thinking.
Speaker 4: Next, that's poor Elson, the only one who didn't make
Speaker 4: out through the entire episode.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, I don't mean to like take this and
Speaker 2: smush some more on you, but I might as well.
Speaker 3: But because did you skip right over Amanda sitting on
Speaker 3: Billy and saying you're with a woman now?
Speaker 5: Or is that the next episode with that belt she takes,
Speaker 5: I think that's the next episode. Goes down you're watching it.
Speaker 2: Quiet girls, Quiet girls, this is a teaser for next
Speaker 2: next episode. And then she goes down his eight pack,
Speaker 2: facing his abdomens down below with Amanda on bill, Oh,
Speaker 2: what's that next episode?
Speaker 6: Okay, sorry, all right, we're gonna get there. So you're
Speaker 6: not the only one having like extreme close up makeouts.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 4: It's really well, this is now, this is what we've
Speaker 4: talked about. You've been seeing little moments of this is
Speaker 4: when it turns into the Melrose we all remember, yeah, right,
Speaker 4: like this is this is It really makes that turn.
Speaker 6: Yes, we gave up a while ago on doing kiss count,
Speaker 6: but if we were doing it now, it's like, forget it.
Speaker 3: I think the switchboard would be like we just started.
Speaker 1: To make it's make out.
Speaker 2: But yeah, because Melrose wasn't just like everyone betraying each other.
Speaker 2: It was like everyone making out with each other, going
Speaker 2: to bed with each other. So this is definitely it
Speaker 2: is happening.
Speaker 3: The writer's going, let's do this. Let's like screw that all.
