Speaker 4: are somewhere in my house. I can't find them, so
Speaker 4: I grabbed another parent.
Speaker 1: You can't see them because you don't have your glasses.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. It's really hard being me.
Speaker 2: No, it's the eyes. It's just a whole adventure that
Speaker 2: you don't hear about.
Speaker 1: I use to get readers. Do you have readers?
Speaker 2: I used to, but then I got it's called then
Speaker 2: there's the brain that has that whole thing.
Speaker 1: Did you get the lasers?
Speaker 2: I did?
Speaker 1: It's like refractive cataract surgery.
Speaker 5: I got see I would get that laser if it
Speaker 5: did something for my skin the eyes I have, which
Speaker 5: I do.
Speaker 1: I did just get a laser.
Speaker 5: We couldn't meet last week because I got a laser
Speaker 5: on my face. Lady looks stunning, pretty good, thank you,
Speaker 5: thank you.
Speaker 2: I'm skeered. But I did it on my eyes. I
Speaker 2: got laser on the eyes. They're amazing. I can see
Speaker 2: it close and I can see far away.
Speaker 1: With no glasses.
Speaker 3: I might need to ask.
Speaker 2: I totally totally recommend it.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, for now, I'm just going to.
Speaker 1: Conversations.
Speaker 2: Used to be different when.
Speaker 5: Seriously listen the Baits method. It's eye exercises, and they
Speaker 5: do work. Because my eyes started to go and then
Speaker 5: I do these eye exercises and they're back. And I'm
Speaker 5: fifty six and I still don't use readers. Fantastic tiny
Speaker 5: I can read this little tiny thing.
Speaker 2: That's great.
Speaker 1: All right. Well for now I'm gonna wear glasses and.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, we all have our solutions.
Speaker 3: Got that settled.
Speaker 2: Good?
Speaker 1: What happened to us?
Speaker 2: Alterative? As I say, better than the alternative.
Speaker 5: So we heard that people are asking about my dresses
Speaker 5: and I will say this, I'm wearing a shirt by
Speaker 5: the same company. It's a wonderful company out of Malibu
Speaker 5: called Bell by Alicia Bell Care Dresses and I love
Speaker 5: their shirts and I'm glad people are noticing it because
Speaker 5: it's a company I absolutely love well. First of all,
Speaker 5: like their store, like the fabrics. And then they've got
Speaker 5: these I don't know if you at home can hear
Speaker 5: my necklace, but this is attached to the shirt. It's
Speaker 5: adorable little thing. They've got these little extras. What would
Speaker 5: you call this, almost like a necklace. It's this really
Speaker 5: pretty button and some spark.
Speaker 2: Sure that's not one of those security you can there's
Speaker 2: little pearls.
Speaker 5: Anyway, it's a gorgeous highly recommend them.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: Ask a question because when we were doing our photo shoot,
Speaker 2: you had these beautiful dresses and it was Mesa, Mesa,
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. Did you also wear those dress?
Speaker 5: But the one that you wore in the photo shoot
Speaker 5: was a Bell by Lisa Bell. Then Laura, you borrowed
Speaker 5: one that was doing well. I like the dress and
Speaker 5: lots of pretty dresses.
Speaker 2: Beautiful dresses you so Bell I noticed, yes?
Speaker 1: And Mesa and Doan has some gorgeous glass Yeah.
Speaker 3: Peasantry today just by accident, we all ended up in
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 2: I'm like the very well coordinated, preppy little Checkers and
Speaker 2: have you guys, beautiful, feminine and casual California. I feel
Speaker 2: like me sitting over here is kind of like I'm
Speaker 2: doing a sum on our hair, and there will be
Speaker 2: tests on the Melrose. Well. We have mostly stuff to
Speaker 2: ask Court or I do because you were there. We
Speaker 2: weren't there yet. And again, I'm really enjoying watching and
Speaker 2: going back and not be in it because I just
Speaker 2: get to sit back and see, like I almost made popcorn,
Speaker 2: because it's such a fun air of the nineties, and
Speaker 2: just watching you guys, and you're doing such a great job.
Speaker 2: And I don't know about you, Laura, but I'm enjoying
Speaker 2: not being in it.
Speaker 4: It's such a it's such a different experience to watch
Speaker 4: these early episodes that our characters weren't in yet, and
Speaker 4: then to know, like, oh, I know where it's going,
Speaker 4: but I just don't have like an experience of what
Speaker 4: it was at that time, and it is going in
Speaker 4: another direction. We know that it's going somewhere else, and
Speaker 4: we're only on episode three of our recaps right now.
Speaker 3: We're so shallow.
Speaker 2: I mean, in the death of where versus the drama
Speaker 2: are a little different. Yeah, you know, Matt and Ronda
Speaker 2: have a little tet of ted.
Speaker 3: And yeah, we've just dipped our toe in the beginning.
Speaker 5: So I had the same thought, like this really was
Speaker 5: like eight kids trying to make it right. Like there
Speaker 5: nothing dramatic happens. It really is very sweet, small stories
Speaker 5: of us all getting to know each other.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and to that point, that kind of like leads
Speaker 2: me into our first episode here. But I got to
Speaker 2: see how much they leaned into Billy being a writer,
Speaker 2: really trying to be a writer what he came here for,
Speaker 2: you know. And by the time I came in the
Speaker 2: middle of the first season, like I don't know what,
Speaker 2: no one knew what he was right, because he's already
Speaker 2: into all the drama of the show. But he this
Speaker 2: episode is specifically of him, like, you know, pouring out
Speaker 2: his heart and soul and using his imagination writing the
Speaker 2: great American screenplay, right, yeh me you go, okay, it's
Speaker 2: going okay, that's a great segue.
Speaker 1: Great.
Speaker 2: So this episode three season one is called Lost and Found,
Speaker 2: and it aired. It aired on July twenty second, nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety two. So here's a synopsis. Jane feels lonely due
Speaker 2: to Michael's late nights as the doctor, so Ronda takes
Speaker 2: her to Shooters, where they meet two guys and have
Speaker 2: a wild night until Jane loses her wedding ring. This
Speaker 2: gave me stress this one. Billy finishes his script, but
Speaker 2: Alison thinks it's awful and can't help him. Meanwhile, Jake
Speaker 2: breaks up with Kelly finally by staging a scene with
Speaker 2: an actress friend of Sandy's, making him look bad like
Speaker 2: a terrible guy. Heartbroken, Kelly leaves Jake for good. I mean, finally,
Speaker 2: it's so funny, like so how many episodes he's like,
Speaker 2: you know how bad this is, and yet he keeps
Speaker 2: like making out with her and like leading her on. Anyway,
Speaker 2: I think it's finally over, so we'll do the cast
Speaker 2: starring Josie Bessetts, Jane Thomas Collaboro as Michael, Amy Locane
Speaker 2: as Sandy, Doug Savant as Matt Grant Show as Jake,
Speaker 2: Andrew Shoe as Billy, Courtney Thorn Smith as Alison Parker,
Speaker 2: and Vanessa A. Williams is Ronda Blair. Created by Darren Starr.
Speaker 2: I hope we get Darren in these by the way
Speaker 2: to come visit, and then special guests is Ginny Garth
Speaker 2: and Brian Austin Green and Iron Zerring as their nine
Speaker 2: O two one zero characters. So this is a really
Speaker 2: fun opening. I thought we opened in this. It's called
Speaker 2: the Blue Room Club. It's a jazz club. It's like
Speaker 2: the forties of a period piece. And Billy's at the bar.
Speaker 2: His hair is slicked back, He's in a suit, and
Speaker 2: he saunters over to a woman in a red dress
Speaker 2: doing a dance.
Speaker 1: Were you so confused he came on slicker? Was like,
Speaker 1: what is? What?
Speaker 5: What is totally at the beginning any sort of it was.
Speaker 4: Immediately like you could tell it was an attempt at noir,
Speaker 4: but like, yeah, the girl seemed to be, you know,
Speaker 4: setting the tone and the era, and I got it.
Speaker 4: And then Billy was like sort of being Billy.
Speaker 3: And it was a little bit back, what's happening?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I mean it. I did get pretty sick
Speaker 4: pretty quickly into the scene. Go Okay, this is Billy's
Speaker 4: imagining of you know, Noir, and yeah.
Speaker 1: Very excitated dream is he? Who's that that?
Speaker 5: I was like, where's Allison? Because apparently my ego's very invested.
Speaker 5: I was like, who's that lady again, what's happening?
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it was another basically another one of Billy's
Speaker 4: sort of imagining some flashbacks without them.
Speaker 1: Keep forgetting he was a writer.
Speaker 4: I know, becomes very clear here in this opening scene
Speaker 4: that that's what he's doing. Very la of him to
Speaker 4: be coming to play and wanting to write his screenplay.
Speaker 2: I mean, his you know, this was over the top,
Speaker 2: and you're going, like, god, it is too over the top.
Speaker 2: And there's a gun and she says really like you know,
Speaker 2: cliche statements, you know, you look good, getting real good
Speaker 2: and if you get if you get time, I'll come
Speaker 2: visit you. If you get the chair, I'll still come
Speaker 2: visit you. They have a gun, it goes below frame,
Speaker 2: it goes off. I mean, and you're going, this is
Speaker 2: really bad. Well it's his screenplay because he hears Alison
Speaker 2: saying Billy, Billy, Billy, and then all of a sudden
Speaker 2: we're in the apartment and he was he's typing his script,
Speaker 2: so you're going, oh, maybe his script is it's kind
Speaker 2: of like foreshadowing, like maybe it's not gonna be that good,
Speaker 2: kind of like the over the topness that we justa
Speaker 2: that's what I thought. So anyway, Alison's there and uh,
Speaker 2: he's typing his screenplay.
Speaker 4: Well, then it goes to the pool where Michael is
Speaker 4: skimming the pool and Jane.
Speaker 3: Is like hanging on him. Do you guys remember that.
Speaker 4: She's he's skimming the pool and she is just like
Speaker 4: like hugging him from behind, a kissing, kissing, kissing, like
Speaker 4: this massive display out at the pool side, and they're
Speaker 4: like what and did you notice that?
Speaker 5: Like, well there's an ongoing theme already of this gorgeous
Speaker 5: Josie like all over this dive.
Speaker 2: He's like, I was like, I'm busy, and he's like,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm trying to I'm trying to skim the
Speaker 2: pool and she's.
Speaker 3: Like, but I'm trying to get something started. That was
Speaker 3: that was a lot, Yeah, and they're making it.
Speaker 2: I have a kissing count, by the way, because that
Speaker 2: is one of our CA theories and I finally paid attention.
Speaker 2: So it was our first kiss because in the script
Speaker 2: in the in the jazz Bar, they don't actually kiss.
Speaker 2: They come really close, they quiver the lips, but they
Speaker 2: don't kiss.
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't even count that because they're married. Oh,
Speaker 1: I think it count should count that was.
Speaker 4: Actually married, Courtney, Remember did you count them?
Speaker 1: Like that's.
Speaker 2: Was worth more than five kisses for that?
Speaker 3: The reference is there.
Speaker 4: She's like, we're gonna have pink hot dogs and watch
Speaker 4: Ghost like the movie and all these like references.
Speaker 2: Yeah nineties stuff and la stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, romantic movie.
Speaker 5: And then doesn't she really doesn't seem to understand that
Speaker 5: he's a medical resident. It seems to be a constant
Speaker 5: source of confusion for her that he's busy, Like is
Speaker 5: she not watch The Resident on Fox?
Speaker 1: Does she not know? Like how busy these poor guys.
Speaker 3: It's as confusing as he is.
Speaker 4: She's gorgeous and you should make me be a little
Speaker 4: bit more responsive.
Speaker 1: The thing is like she doesn't have You should tell
Speaker 1: them about glass.
Speaker 3: There's glasses regrets from marrying.
Speaker 2: You know. This is foreshadowing like a future when you
Speaker 2: marry a doctor like you know, and this is you
Speaker 2: don't see him now. It's not going to get much better,
Speaker 2: Like don't you think of this sometimes your.
Speaker 5: Residency though, remember they work like thirty hour shifts. But
Speaker 5: it feels like it's constantly I don't for her that
Speaker 5: she's surprised that he's not played a medical school one
Speaker 5: that's medical.
Speaker 2: But I don't remember, Like I don't you know, I
Speaker 2: definitely didn't marry a doctor, so.
Speaker 1: Nor have we played a doctor on TV, which I did.
Speaker 2: But no, it's a medical student and I do anyway,
Speaker 2: whatever we can go off on that. I do remember
Speaker 2: some stats about medical students and doctors for sure. They're
Speaker 2: not fun. So yeah, she's trying to make out by
Speaker 2: the pool, and then we're down in the basement and
Speaker 2: Sandy walks downstairs and Jake is folding clothes, and Jake
Speaker 2: jokes that it's sheets he's folding, and that he only
Speaker 2: washes his sheets when he's had someone in his.
Speaker 5: Apartment and who was this Well, she says that she
Speaker 5: implies that like, oh, you're washing sheets because somebody's coming.
Speaker 1: And everybody in our own homes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's very intimate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he goes, we're just friends, but she wants more.
Speaker 2: Duh the understatement of the century and uh. But he
Speaker 2: says it's over, and she's like, which based on what?
Speaker 5: Because last episode it seemed pretty hot and heavy, right.
Speaker 5: They ride off on the motorcycle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be apparently something.
Speaker 1: Happened between episodes.
Speaker 2: No going for to be over this episode.
Speaker 5: I knows a plan, but he's acting I felt like
Speaker 5: he was acting like we're just friends, and I'm thinking
Speaker 5: we were giving her very mixed signals then, because last
Speaker 5: time you kissed her and rode off on your motorcycle.
Speaker 3: Hundred percent of course mixed signals.
Speaker 2: Well, of course mixed signals. Yeah, And of course he's
Speaker 2: saying to somebody else, we're just friends. So if there's
Speaker 2: any perception, then it's her fault, the little girl's fault.
Speaker 2: But he's not saying to her definitely, we're best friends.
Speaker 2: So you know he's picking going to her house and
Speaker 2: taking her on the motorcycle. It's, of course, it's like
Speaker 2: a game out of the playbook of this grand show
Speaker 2: that we keep saying like Jake's's stand up man. I
Speaker 2: guess that comes later, all right, this is the nineties
Speaker 2: sign of the times. The next scene is the Gap store,
Speaker 2: big old gap kids walk through and they walked through
Speaker 2: this Gap store, and the minute that came on, I
Speaker 2: saw all those lacrosse shirts in the back with the
Speaker 2: thick stripes. Did you guys see that? I was just like,
Speaker 2: it was so nineties, the rugby white collars, the rugby shirt.
Speaker 2: Yeah with the white collars, those were all there, and
Speaker 2: those guys.
Speaker 4: And totally smell it makes one more appearance. And he
Speaker 4: got to keep his sunglasses on for the entire scene inside.
Speaker 1: I was so surprised by that.
Speaker 3: But it was a choice.
Speaker 1: And they it must have been maybe as pink eye
Speaker 1: or something because.
Speaker 4: Like they were dark like although I will say that
Speaker 4: Doug got to wear the character of Matt got to
Speaker 4: wear some sunglasses later in the episode two, and I thought, well,
Speaker 4: that's interesting. Episode three of Melrose and they're still letting
Speaker 4: people more away. Yeah, yeah, yeah, later we'll see the
Speaker 4: air nobody's gonna wear it has seen an episode.
Speaker 2: Well, maybe this is the time that he decides no more.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Daphney tried to work sunglasses into our photo shoot
Speaker 5: for our podcast, like that's adorable.
Speaker 1: Put them down.
Speaker 2: Still not a PTSD, but triggered me by the way,
Speaker 2: thirty years later, I can wear these if I want. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that was funny.
Speaker 5: So but also the calling five times a day, talk
Speaker 5: about sign of the times. Nobody's texting right, kids watching
Speaker 5: like why don't just text them? Were like, no, we
Speaker 5: didn't have texting. We had car phones that were the
Speaker 5: size of our torsos, but nobody had.
Speaker 2: Nobody was to call him, even the line are you
Speaker 2: then no female? It wasn't the thing.
Speaker 3: That's why there's payphones everywhere.
Speaker 4: And exactly when the next scene in Jane's boutique and
Speaker 4: she's calling or Michael's calling Jane to let her know
Speaker 4: that he has to be on call all night, and
Speaker 4: he's like whispering in the on call room like, oh honey,
Speaker 4: I can't make it right. And he's like it's like
Speaker 4: the hardest thing in the world to tell her that
Speaker 4: he can't. But he's on a payphone in the breakroom
Speaker 4: of the hospital.
Speaker 3: It was a payphone on the wall in the breakroom.
Speaker 2: I think, my god, they're so cheap.
Speaker 3: It was so bizarre.
Speaker 4: But like, did you guys notice what the rest of
Speaker 4: the doctors were doing at the table? No, they're playing cards,
Speaker 4: Like what doctors on their break are going to go
Speaker 4: and like start a poker game in the.
Speaker 3: Break I thought that was so funny. They're playing cards
Speaker 3: in there, and he's like whispering, like did he not
Speaker 3: want anybody to know he has a wife? Like why is.
Speaker 2: So weird that he was so quiet about it. He's
Speaker 2: like like he was carrying on with somebody there.
Speaker 3: Right, it was like he was trying to keep it
Speaker 3: a secret. He's talking to his wife.
Speaker 5: The whole story happened, and you're you're stepping ahead to
Speaker 5: the really dramatic moment.
Speaker 1: If you didn't notice that.
Speaker 3: You need to wear your glasses when you watch this,
Speaker 3: you can notice things like card players.
Speaker 1: And where you're going. This show is much more exciting
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 2: So that's Jane trying to reach out again. She's all
Speaker 2: excited about this Pink's plan and it's not going to happen, right,
Speaker 2: So we set up. She's upset, she hangs up. And
Speaker 2: then and then we're with Allison at D and D Advertising,
Speaker 2: and Allison's on the phone at the reception when Billy
Speaker 2: shows up with.
Speaker 3: His screenplay, The Big Shock. I love The Big Shock.
Speaker 2: Poor boy is going to be shocked. So he leaves
Speaker 2: the script for her to read. It's so weird.
Speaker 5: But okay, were you sure when he said it's the
Speaker 5: only copy, be careful that I was going to leave
Speaker 5: it somewhere. I was like, oh, I'm going to leave
Speaker 5: it on the bus somewhere.
Speaker 2: And didn't they have kink goes back in the nineties.
Speaker 2: I don't remember. Maybe not well.
Speaker 1: He must have typed it out by hand.
Speaker 3: It might be still one finger at a time. Did
Speaker 3: you not notice it takes him a really long time
Speaker 3: to type singers, just the.
Speaker 2: Two of them, but he did build it up his excitement.
Speaker 2: I feel like a real writer now. It feels so good.
Speaker 3: I feel like a real writer.
Speaker 2: It feels so good. And you know when you yeah, yeah, so,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It was very cute.
Speaker 3: And then we get to use the pool.
Speaker 4: We got to the pool scene first time somebody's using
Speaker 4: the pool in this episode. Jane's in her bit suit
Speaker 4: getting out of the pool doing laps.
Speaker 1: Very well done. Yep, nice exercise.
Speaker 3: Nice use of the pool.
Speaker 2: Can we talk about that bathing suit since we're talking
Speaker 2: about the nineties, I mean, but an amazing bathing suit. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I thought that bathing suit, like so much pops out
Speaker 2: of me in each scene. Sometimes it's set dressing, sometimes
Speaker 2: it's a payphone, sometimes it's a line. But this time
Speaker 2: it was the bathing suit. Just the design. The wasn't
Speaker 2: it like aqua and purple with thick black I don't know,
Speaker 2: which was just so nineties.
Speaker 3: Well, and Josie looks great in it, amazing. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then also Sandy was there with her little cute
Speaker 2: little bussier, which was so cute.
Speaker 4: And that's where Sandy suggesting that Jane come to Shooters
Speaker 4: that night and have a night out instead of waiting
Speaker 4: up for her doctor husband.
Speaker 2: Anyway, so she's like, come on out and have fun, right.
Speaker 3: She double dog dares her to go out.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, double dog dare you. Then we're back at
Speaker 2: the hospital and Jane shows up with I think probably
Speaker 2: pinks hot dogs and candles and food and wants to
Speaker 2: bring the surprise to him. He's soy.
Speaker 4: And but also here's where the other the other doctors
Speaker 4: and people that are in the break room are like.
Speaker 3: Ooh this is awkward.
Speaker 4: Yeah we should leave so awkwardly because oh, this guy's
Speaker 4: wife just showed.
Speaker 3: Up, Like what is that about?
Speaker 2: Like something going on?
Speaker 3: Yeah they were.
Speaker 1: It should have been.
Speaker 4: And he's like, we'reek Jeane, everybody, this is my wife.
Speaker 2: Apologeabe is so awkward, so embarrassed by his wife.
Speaker 3: Like why is that embarrassing?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, poor Jane.
Speaker 2: I mean those tall three candles were a bit much.
Speaker 2: I was a little like it's okay.
Speaker 3: It was cute, Like if your white shows up to
Speaker 3: do that, why is everything going way better? Sneak outs
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah not nice.
Speaker 2: Next time we see her, she's a shooters with Rhonda
Speaker 2: picking up two guys that are looking at them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so here's where these two guys come in to
Speaker 4: the vironment can see that. Jane's gonna start to entertain
Speaker 4: the idea of like, okay, maybe I'll pretend to be Yeah,
Speaker 4: because Sandy's nest your Carbonel from everything Nestor Carbonel's had
Speaker 4: a career.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was on Psych, which is one of my
Speaker 1: favorite shows.
Speaker 2: I was wondering.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but he's been on everything, like all like Monk,
Speaker 5: I think all those shows I love.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got a huge career.
Speaker 4: He's Morning Show, he's doing the Morning Show recently, a million.
Speaker 5: Things and made me so excited as I started to
Speaker 5: see the guest stars come through, like oh that's right, yeah,
Speaker 5: oh he had he also had so many people come through.
Speaker 3: He was on Lost, Yes, suddenly, Susan dark Knight. I
Speaker 3: mean he's done a.
Speaker 1: Ton of stuff every even and everything. Fun to see him.
Speaker 4: Our kids were a baby group together, Mommy and me,
Speaker 4: Oh really we had our baby in a baby grip together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Small World was.
Speaker 2: One of his first things. You know.
Speaker 5: I wonder if it was because he was sort of quiet, like, yeah,
Speaker 5: quite come into himself.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, yeah, I think he'd just done a
Speaker 4: few things. But he's definitely had a played Alex.
Speaker 2: He's the one that was pursued, that pursued Rhonda. Yes,
Speaker 2: that's what we mean. But at this point, Jane decides
Speaker 2: to hide.
Speaker 4: The ring, right Sandy suggests it, Hey, you're not going
Speaker 4: to get, you know, anybody flirting with you if you
Speaker 4: have a wedding ring on, and Jane's like, I think
Speaker 4: I want people flirting with me, So she takes it off.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so she takes it over ring.
Speaker 5: Which is probably why they had to have Michael be
Speaker 5: so awful to motivate her to do this.
Speaker 3: Pretty extreme Yeah yeah, yeah, pretty sure.
Speaker 1: Pretty watch a show.
Speaker 3: Like you thought you thought that was a good idea.
Speaker 1: This is your ax step all right?
Speaker 2: Uh. Then we cut to the courtyard where I keep
Speaker 2: want to saying you you over there, where Allison walks
Speaker 2: through the courtyard and she kind of doesn't know what
Speaker 2: to do, and Matt is leaving and says, there's a
Speaker 2: party in Laurel Canyon where I was living.
Speaker 1: By the way, maybe it was your party. You weren't
Speaker 1: on the show yet. Maybe he's going to be your party.
Speaker 2: I was having a party. Probably was Laurel Canyon. Anyway,
Speaker 2: I love those la shout outs. And she's like, no,
Speaker 2: I have a really difficult thing ahead of me. I
Speaker 2: have to tell I had to read Billy's script. And
Speaker 2: he says, how is it? And she's like awful.
Speaker 4: And here's here's Matt's entrance for the episode, like just
Speaker 4: being cute, supportive friend, going you got this.
Speaker 3: I think you can do this.
Speaker 4: Just always a good friend, Lie, Like yeah, well, first

Speaker 2: on team Live. Well I've seen this episode now and
Speaker 2: it doesn't end up, but it does end up. It
Speaker 2: does they do end up, you know, dealing with it,
Speaker 2: but it does hurt his feelings. So now we're back
Speaker 2: in shooters and Jane and Ronder at the bar talking
Speaker 2: with the guys, making small talk, and uh, they are
Speaker 2: aspiring rock stars of Crocker.
Speaker 3: They look like, yeah, so well firing rocks.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Anyway, so he goes, do you have what? Do
Speaker 2: you have a boyfriend or something? And she makes another
Speaker 2: decision and she says no, not exactly implying that, but
Speaker 2: does not say that she's married. Yeah, she doesn't have
Speaker 2: a boyfriend.
Speaker 3: She didn't lie, but she didn't try.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So anyway, then Billy comes home and I think you're
Speaker 2: making tuna casserole.
Speaker 1: What a disgusting choice?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 3: The fifties?
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh my god, I can smell like am
Speaker 5: I trying to upset him in advance?
Speaker 1: I think what has happened?
Speaker 4: But like you always say, you were traumatized by them
Speaker 4: serving tuna on set.
Speaker 2: Right, maybe.
Speaker 1: That's all the problem.
Speaker 3: And they really wanted it to be like method.
Speaker 4: I can't like, we wanted to smell like tuna cast roles,
Speaker 4: so it can that's what they're actually.
Speaker 2: So anyway, you're in the kitchen, you don't really want
Speaker 2: to see him, You're making the tuna, and he's just
Speaker 2: of course thinking assuming his script is amazing. He's days
Speaker 2: in the living room. He's like, oh man, but he
Speaker 2: had a horrible day, but thank god the script. When
Speaker 2: he sells this, everything's going to change. Oh you're making something,
Speaker 2: so he's assuming you're making him dinner to celebrate.
Speaker 4: I know it's so sad, but she doesn't have the
Speaker 4: guts to tell him in that moment.
Speaker 5: No, no, And I just there's so many things between
Speaker 5: it's brilliant and it's awful. There's so many choices she
Speaker 5: could have made. I just like I wish she had
Speaker 5: someone to say, why don't you say it could use
Speaker 5: some work? Yeah, which you know we've all heard as
Speaker 5: creative people. Yes, there's a lot of potential. How about that,
Speaker 5: Like start with, there's a lot of potential, but it
Speaker 5: needs some work.
Speaker 2: You do say at the end, finally he earns it,
Speaker 2: you say you do it, or somewhere you say you
Speaker 2: do have talent. I thank you, throwing him a little nugget.
Speaker 4: Start there as there, Yeah, all right, But then we
Speaker 4: get to the grocery store.
Speaker 3: Kelly and Jake are grocery shopping for dinner together, which
Speaker 3: is like.
Speaker 5: A completely romantic choice line because we had this. This
Speaker 5: was my line that I wrote down, spending a nice
Speaker 5: quite even at your place, making it together the lasagna,
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Didn't see that coming. I mean wink wink, shimmy, sim Yeah.
Speaker 2: They really put her over the top. Everything out of
Speaker 2: her mouth, every action of hers everything is just this pursuant, pursuing,
Speaker 2: pursuing for such.
Speaker 1: So she's so young. I was not that aggressive at that.
Speaker 1: It's so much. Are kids that different? Like?
Speaker 4: Yeah, but also he's giving her such mixed message and
Speaker 4: he's planning, Yeah, he's planning to let her down, but
Speaker 4: he's decided to, like, let's do a quiet romantic night
Speaker 4: at home, we'll grocery shop together, and then we'll bring
Speaker 4: this talk.
Speaker 3: Like the whole thing.
Speaker 4: Was just like a what choice is that if you're
Speaker 4: trying to actually let her down?
Speaker 5: So indirect yeah, like just have a convix mansion clearly
Speaker 5: not clearly cannot.
Speaker 4: And here again in the grocery store is the other
Speaker 4: example of where he reveals that he doesn't have enough
Speaker 4: money because he can't afford the grocery bill what it owns.
Speaker 3: That was brutal, Yeah, and that was brutal. She instead
Speaker 3: of trying to bail him out. It's like, okay, just
Speaker 3: maybe take.
Speaker 5: And apparently no credit cards. Apparently they live in a
Speaker 5: cash based society.
Speaker 1: No credit card.
Speaker 4: The other awkward moment showing that he doesn't have the
Speaker 4: money and maybe she does, but still so awkward.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but those are the days when you could buy
Speaker 5: a dinner for forty dollars. You can't get out of
Speaker 5: the market for forty dollars. Days, it's very hard. Everything expensive.
Speaker 1: We're just so expensive right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah. True. So they're out of they leave the grocery store,
Speaker 2: he's humiliated once again. And then we're at Shooters and
Speaker 2: they're playing pinball and they're being really flirty. Ronda is
Speaker 2: being incredibly flirty and Josie I felt like, was trying
Speaker 2: to be flirty but with the painball machine and stuff,
Speaker 2: and well, Jane, she's trying to have a good single time,
Speaker 2: you know, like she's not sure how to do it.
Speaker 2: So she's like, oh boy, and she got pinball in
Speaker 2: high school.
Speaker 4: And then she got very close to like getting out
Speaker 4: of their like no harm, no foul, but you know
Speaker 4: that Ronda talks her out of it and says, please
Speaker 4: stay be my wingman for the night, and please, I
Speaker 4: can't do this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, please want to go to a club.
Speaker 4: So Jane decides not to go home and decides to
Speaker 4: stay with Ronda instead.
Speaker 3: Another bad.
Speaker 4: So many another club put gone, Yeah another way, you
Speaker 4: just gone home.
Speaker 2: So then we're back with Billy. They're eating I think
Speaker 2: they're eating the tuna now the tuna cast role, and
Speaker 2: he's going through the scenes bit by bit, just like God,
Speaker 2: he's making it so hard, isn't he know?
Speaker 1: He's so exciting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's so excited. He's like, what about this? And
Speaker 2: then you're like, you know, you mean the one where
Speaker 2: that what was it? The transvestite nun or something like
Speaker 2: making it obvious that it was really bad.
Speaker 3: I don't remember that moment ending.
Speaker 2: You don't remember that one? No?
Speaker 3: I don't. Yeah, I think, I think.
Speaker 1: And he's like, what's.
Speaker 2: Wrong with that? I used to be a nun?
Speaker 1: Oh my god?
Speaker 4: But she tells him the truth like I hated, yeah,
Speaker 4: think about it, and he's so.
Speaker 2: Hurt and indignant, Well, what do you hate? Please be
Speaker 2: more specific, which I think you know he deserves. But
Speaker 2: he can't handle it and he just.
Speaker 5: Storms out and insults my cast role, which I mean,
Speaker 5: come on, obviously, most of myself esteem is based on
Speaker 5: my disgusting tunic castrole. And you can't you're not allowed
Speaker 5: to put it down. And then if you can't take
Speaker 5: the heat, get out of the kitchen. We're just yelling,
Speaker 5: just like you have no taste, just like your lousy castrole.
Speaker 5: If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was that was a big bite. He storms
Speaker 4: out of the apartment. I know Jane is dancing with Peter.
Speaker 2: We're in the new club. So now that we're at
Speaker 2: the cap, I love that the guys took them to.
Speaker 2: You know, she's really out of her league and no
Speaker 2: a place that's not familiar, and the guys dancing really
Speaker 2: closely with her. Did you notice the extras and everything
Speaker 2: that they were wearing, and like it just seems to
Speaker 2: me like all of the nineties always had a nightclub scene,
Speaker 2: and like everything I ever did, they were like a
Speaker 2: nightclub with these extra outfits with the you know, the
Speaker 2: short skirts, the ones that were like band aids basically,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, and these heels and like
Speaker 2: smoke pumped in. I just reminded me of the eighties
Speaker 2: and nineties, Like.
Speaker 1: Stress was so short so short, so short.
Speaker 5: But I think it was less about the nineties and
Speaker 5: more about how old we were, because say the three
Speaker 5: of us did a movie now, they wouldn't put us
Speaker 5: in any off like I was just when you're young,
Speaker 5: like your characters are going back.
Speaker 1: That's what yeah, Like that's what we did, and that
Speaker 1: is what I did on weekends. Then yeah, I know, right,
Speaker 1: that's what we did.
Speaker 2: I just get a kick of looking at these scenes
Speaker 2: now because it looks like such a just such it's
Speaker 2: just such background, you know, with all the drinks. They're
Speaker 2: either like bright red and orange. Maybe there's a blue,
Speaker 2: I don't know. It just really pulled me into working
Speaker 2: as an actor back in that era, and it looked very,
Speaker 2: very familiar to me. But at any rate, So they're
Speaker 2: dancing and she's once he gets too close. She's like, no, no,
Speaker 2: I gotta go sit down. So she goes to sit down,
Speaker 2: but he follows her, reciting poetry right, thinking he's going
Speaker 2: to win her over with his like artistic, uh poetic type,
Speaker 2: and she's like, yeah, I know that poet.
Speaker 1: If she made romantic literature, she minor romantic? Did she
Speaker 1: major in fashion or probably.
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 1: As you do look at her being smart.
Speaker 3: That was romantic lit recognize the passage. He tries to kiss.
Speaker 1: Her, and she finally, finally yep, says no. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then if she finally says why I'm married. I
Speaker 2: like you, but I'm married, and he's like, yeah, no,
Speaker 2: you don't have a ring, and she's like, god, okay.
Speaker 2: She reaches for her ring in her pocket and the
Speaker 2: booth of the table there and there's no ring and
Speaker 2: is gone.
Speaker 3: Oops.
Speaker 4: So then she finds herself crawling on the floor in
Speaker 4: her tight little black dress looking for her ring.
Speaker 2: So and and of course Rhonda feels horrible when she
Speaker 2: finds out. And but now we're back and oh, let's
Speaker 2: see how it's going with Jake and Kelly. How that
Speaker 2: breakup's going. Okay, So we're back in Jake's.
Speaker 3: Apartment and he's awkwardly cutting onions.
Speaker 2: By the way, it's not awkwardly. He's cutting onions to
Speaker 2: turn her off. I figured that out, Oh you did, yes,
Speaker 2: close up on a big onion, big red, juicy onion.
Speaker 2: He's crying. He's like, oh god, this is painful, but
Speaker 2: I've got to get her off of me. And she's
Speaker 2: like almost crawling up into his hmm. And and he's
Speaker 2: like cutting onions. Maybe that'll send her off. No, apparently
Speaker 2: Kelly likes purple onions. She's all over him and then
Speaker 2: she like leads into those.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go back for a second.
Speaker 5: Why are her parents letting her go to dinner in
Speaker 5: a man's apartment?
Speaker 3: I think her parents don't know. We haven't really touched
Speaker 3: on that, have we. Her parents they exist at all.
Speaker 1: They think she's at I mean, she's just out a
Speaker 1: girlfriend's house. Yeah, that's probably true, all.
Speaker 3: Right, I mean, oh yeah, her mama just had a baby.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: There's all this backstory we don't quite see right to explain, right,
Speaker 4: but yeah, they're they're making this dinner and Kelly's kissing
Speaker 4: him and it's clear that she went and he just
Speaker 4: keeps sort of.
Speaker 1: Like kissing all back a little bit, a little.
Speaker 3: Distance and pushing back.
Speaker 4: I don't want to do this, even though I set
Speaker 4: up this romantic dinner, I really don't want to do this.
Speaker 4: I really don't want you kissing on me.
Speaker 2: How wrong?
Speaker 3: This is?
Speaker 2: What's wrong with you? Girl? Don't you get the message?
Speaker 2: And I have an onion and everything.
Speaker 1: Don't you get the message? In my apartment while I'm
Speaker 1: cooking for you.
Speaker 4: It feels very clear I've sent you very mixed messages,
Speaker 4: aren't you picking?
Speaker 2: And then the phone rings and she says, this is
Speaker 2: another nineties Let the answering machine get it.
Speaker 3: Yep, we all had an answering machine.
Speaker 2: So it's ringing and ringing, and it starts to have
Speaker 2: an answer. Someone starts to speak and then he runs
Speaker 2: to get it and picks it up. But do you
Speaker 2: guys remember your first answering.
Speaker 5: Machine And weren't you worried that someone's going to leave
Speaker 5: an inappropriate message?
Speaker 4: He was worried because he went to pick it up
Speaker 4: before that happens, because it goes out loud your message,
Speaker 4: just like broadcasts.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, do you remember that whole other? Like I
Speaker 2: don't know if that I guess you don't have that
Speaker 2: now with the phone. But like when you leave a message,
Speaker 2: if it's an awkward one for someone, is is someone
Speaker 2: going to be listening? Like like is it going to
Speaker 2: be turned up loud? Are there roommates? Usually the guys
Speaker 2: that I liked always had roommates.
Speaker 4: They were never Yeah, you gotta be really careful about
Speaker 4: what you're saying out on speaker phone. Sure, but we
Speaker 4: find out that the person on the other line is
Speaker 4: like planning to and he's whispering, well, don't don't be
Speaker 4: any later than ten thirty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, right, that's all he says. Anyway, she
Speaker 2: doesn't get the message because well, we'll come back to
Speaker 2: them in a minute. But first we're gonna go to
Speaker 2: Shooters where Billy is sitting absolutely crushed, fiddling with the
Speaker 2: mix the bar mixed there and all alone at the
Speaker 2: bar Shooters, and then you Alison shows up and they
Speaker 2: have a meaning full friendly conversation. You know, was it
Speaker 2: really that bad? And and so I thought that was
Speaker 2: really you know, there was pay off there. And again
Speaker 2: that's what I like about the show, Like you do
Speaker 2: these things and they're like over the top or or
Speaker 2: or not very heartfelt, you know, and then this comes.
Speaker 2: You know, they're they're smart, like they bring you back
Speaker 2: and this friendship is going to last through this. You know,
Speaker 2: you guys have a friendship there, which which is cool.
Speaker 2: So you give them a pep talk.
Speaker 3: That was very sweet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe in yourself not going to be easy.
Speaker 1: Did she made her amends?
Speaker 4: Well, he's drowning himself in sugar. He was sugar bingchinging,
Speaker 4: like until you came along.
Speaker 1: It's good for you. I don't know that that's true.
Speaker 1: Well we'll look at the science later. That's right.
Speaker 3: I do not think you know, I don't think that's right.
Speaker 2: So anyway, Jake, we're back with that, Jake and Kelly,
Speaker 2: and she clearly has gotten no message, and she's in
Speaker 2: the living room. She goes bit into the living room
Speaker 2: I think, and turns down the light, off the light
Speaker 2: and makes it a mood lighting in there, and she
Speaker 2: sits on the couch and this girl just is like
Speaker 2: and he turns on the light, comes in and they're
Speaker 2: on the couch, and you know, he lets her kiss
Speaker 2: him and fall and tell him how great he is,
Speaker 2: of course, and he's waiting, I think, for ten thirty
Speaker 2: to show up, right, for someone to show up.
Speaker 4: Yep, But again, why did he go to all the
Speaker 4: trouble to grocery shops, set up this romantic night saying
Speaker 4: you can't come over see you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, like, I just we shouldn't be doing this.
Speaker 4: Instead, he sets up a whole elaborate thing to have
Speaker 4: some you know this next thing happened, instead of like.
Speaker 3: Don't set up the romantic dinner in the first place. Yeah, Like,
Speaker 3: of course he's not giving them a.
Speaker 5: Tom, right, if they had the conversation, there would be
Speaker 5: no story. So you can't have the conversation because you
Speaker 5: need to fill whatever forty two minutes of screen time.
Speaker 1: So he has to work his way around it. But
Speaker 1: do we have a theme in this show of men
Speaker 1: not want to to have sex with beautiful women?
Speaker 3: What the heck?
Speaker 1: These beautiful women just hanging.
Speaker 4: Except if they're married, except if they're married to like
Speaker 4: somebody else.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's that.
Speaker 1: Interesting thing.
Speaker 3: But there they are.
Speaker 4: They're interrupted by the knock of the door, and Jake
Speaker 4: goes to the door, h and it is Margo.
Speaker 2: Well, it's a woman who comes in and goes, oh gosh,
Speaker 2: you know here she comes in with a bottle of wine,
Speaker 2: a beautiful woman who's more his age, more age appropriate,
Speaker 2: and says oh, and sees Kelly, and it's just like,
Speaker 2: what is going on? Oh, we're just one of many women.
Speaker 2: You think we're all just going to show up like this.
Speaker 2: You're two timing me. We had a date. Kelly's like mortified.
Speaker 2: She just looks like this little sad puppy, you know,
Speaker 2: like it does seem like overkill for a really innocent seems.
Speaker 5: She's a really elaborate plan to Yeah right, I think
Speaker 5: he thinks he's letting her down easy, but it's actually
Speaker 5: more confusing. Although maybe in the end then she gets
Speaker 5: to say he's a jerk, and yeah, well that's off
Speaker 5: having the upper hand, that's what he wants.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but she.
Speaker 3: Still leaves the apartment saying I loved.
Speaker 1: You, Oh poor baby.
Speaker 2: And I thought she was really good in this Jenny
Speaker 2: and the just I just felt you just really feel
Speaker 2: for her. I do feel really good, you know, like
Speaker 2: you pointed out with and with Josie in the past,
Speaker 2: that vulnerability which isn't always easy in a show like this,
Speaker 2: you know, which is like such over the top kind
Speaker 2: of stuff. Or I just think it was cool. I
Speaker 2: grounded it anyway, So that's that. See it. Well, we'll
Speaker 2: see if that really is goodbye for Kelly. It's like
Speaker 2: he's tried to say goodbye a few times. We're back
Speaker 2: at the club and Jane and Ronda are crawling around
Speaker 2: for the wedding ring. They don't find it. It's a
Speaker 2: family heirloom, and then Peter says, why did you lie?
Speaker 2: And she said, I'm just used to I've just been
Speaker 2: listening to the wrong people.
Speaker 3: Trusting my Sandy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Sandy not such a great person for advice apparently.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So then we see that Ronda did end up getting
Speaker 4: together with the guy that she met in the bar,
Speaker 4: and they're kissing in the courtyard as everybody's coming.
Speaker 5: Home, as everyone seems to the courtyard. Apparently he's a
Speaker 5: fine place to make out, a public.
Speaker 3: Display right there day night.
Speaker 2: Want to make out, yes, ye yeah, yep, especially if
Speaker 2: like it's right in front of where Mike Michael, like
Speaker 2: her husband is, or where Jane lives, you know. I mean,
Speaker 2: she's not making up, but still they have this whole
Speaker 2: conversation and I think that's that you're a nice guy,
Speaker 2: and but I I gotta go. So he leaves, and
Speaker 2: Ronda apologizes for forcing her to come out, and then
Speaker 2: she enters. Jane enters her own apartment and hears music.
Speaker 2: It's dark, there's a bottle of whiskey opened. Now I
Speaker 2: wasn't sure here if he that was his whiskey. I'm
Speaker 2: assuming a manly man's drink. And the music he set
Speaker 2: to be romantic, but she didn't show because he comes
Speaker 2: out kind of pissed. It's not like he's waiting for
Speaker 2: her still, he's pissed now.
Speaker 5: Well set up right, Yeah, yeah, that she sees a
Speaker 5: whiskey and thinks he's there.
Speaker 1: He's mad at her, he's been there.
Speaker 4: He's mad at her that he actually did come home
Speaker 4: and set up something romantic and he had an expectation
Speaker 4: of her being there, and then it turned out she
Speaker 4: was the one who was out, and she's got double
Speaker 4: guilt because she's also knowing that she lost the wedding
Speaker 4: ring while having some bad behavior at the club.
Speaker 2: Don't before they get to the bedroom, So this was
Speaker 2: another kiss in my book, even though they're married. They
Speaker 2: totally start to make out, and what I thought was
Speaker 2: really moving was just their conversation there like he's just
Speaker 2: like God, it felt like forever, and I really love you.
Speaker 2: I think he took a little, you know, inventory and
Speaker 2: was like, I don't want to waste her, which is good. Ultimately,
Speaker 2: it's good that it happened. I really don't want to
Speaker 2: take her for granted, you know, I don't like things
Speaker 2: without her. And then they have that meaningful conversation and
Speaker 2: then they make out in the kitchen, keep making out
Speaker 2: Melrose style all the way to the bedroom, trip and
Speaker 2: make out their way into this candlelight bedroom.
Speaker 3: And fall onto the bed, heavy on the romance there.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I gave that several pieces.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that counts as more than one.
Speaker 2: But yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then now where are we the Oh we're here
Speaker 2: towards the end, and Billy's in the courtyard not making out.
Speaker 2: He's burning his script. He's so dramatic, burning a script
Speaker 2: page by page the.
Speaker 1: Grill and he does. It's very dramatic.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then she comes out in her bathrobe, the
Speaker 2: famous bathrobe, saying what are you doing? This is crazy?
Speaker 4: And uh but at least he feels like having accomplished
Speaker 4: something that flopped was an accomplishment, got out of his way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got that.
Speaker 4: One out of the way, and Alison ultimately made him
Speaker 4: feel like he could come to terms with that.
Speaker 2: So burn the script and move on and write what
Speaker 2: you know, which is kind of like the writer's right yep, yeah, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's learned a lesson what you know?
Speaker 5: Yeah, still not throw the holes in handlet, but you
Speaker 5: know what, I'm I'm getting over it.
Speaker 4: So then we're at Shooters where Sandy is shooting pool.
Speaker 4: Jake walks in wonders how his dinner party went, and
Speaker 4: he said, you know, Kelly's gone.
Speaker 3: We're done.
Speaker 4: She says, you did the right thing. But then we
Speaker 4: find out that he thinks that Kelly was the only
Speaker 4: person that ever made him.
Speaker 3: Feel good about himself.
Speaker 4: Jake reveals that to Sandy and which is sort of
Speaker 4: an interesting idea. And then right then Sandy hears from
Speaker 4: the bus boy that something was found in the trash.
Speaker 3: Come look in the trash.
Speaker 4: And what do we think has turned up? But Jane's wedding.
Speaker 1: The wedding actually going to all goodness.
Speaker 4: So then as we got back to Jane and Michael's apartment,
Speaker 4: they're lying in bed after of course, their night of
Speaker 4: making love, and he tells her that he missed her.
Speaker 3: She's about to tell him here's what I did. I
Speaker 3: lost the wedding ring.
Speaker 4: When there's another knock at the door and it's Sandy
Speaker 4: and she reveals that she's found this ring.
Speaker 3: Oh thank goodness.
Speaker 2: And she covers and tells Michael, oh, well, she left
Speaker 2: us in the laundry room, and you know, I decided
Speaker 2: want it back, and Jane kind of eyes her without
Speaker 2: Michael noticing thank you.
Speaker 4: So Sandy actually saves her from having to admit the
Speaker 4: truth and what happened.
Speaker 3: So all's well, yeah, that ends well.
Speaker 2: Yes, thanks to our roommates in the Melrose Place apartment. Yes,
Speaker 2: because we all get each other in trouble, but we
Speaker 2: cover for each other.
Speaker 3: When all the stories are becoming resolved.
Speaker 5: Yay.
Speaker 4: And I did sort of notice that that was like
Speaker 4: the episode in general, is that everything gets sort of
Speaker 4: neatly wrapped up by the end and everyone learns a
Speaker 4: little bit of a lesson.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that right. The early episodes, which is not at.
Speaker 3: All the time show came on. I don't think it
Speaker 3: was only me, but I think the tone of.
Speaker 4: The show becomes there was cliffhangers. There was you know,
Speaker 4: like blackmailing and drama and stuff like that, but cliffhangers
Speaker 4: and extended storylines that go. But every episode that we've
Speaker 4: watched so far, everything is sort of neatly wrapped up
Speaker 4: by the end of the episode where everyone's learned their lesson,
Speaker 4: and like you pointed out last time, all the lessons
Speaker 4: that are being learned are sort of tied together, so like, oh,
Speaker 4: you know, like looking outside of where you should be
Speaker 4: looking for love looking for love and all the wrong
Speaker 4: places leads to you know, sort of the wrong thing,
Speaker 4: so you know, go back to go back to what
Speaker 4: you know, and go back to you know, stay in
Speaker 4: your lane and that sort of thing. Like everybody's sort
Speaker 4: of learning the same sort of lesson in their own way,
Speaker 4: in their own storyline and just sort of neatly wrapping
Speaker 4: up at the end of each episode.
Speaker 2: You know, I think that's a technique. I mean, maybe
Speaker 2: I'm wrong, but I think it was like there's a
Speaker 2: kind of TV that happened back then that was like
Speaker 2: that methodically right, And then there became this became more
Speaker 2: of what I think they call it serial where it
Speaker 2: just keeps going because it's just a It really did change, yeah, technically.
Speaker 4: Yeah, when we become more of a nighttime soap ouper,
Speaker 4: we had storylines that carried over and things that were ongoing,
Speaker 4: and and you know also like so far at episode three,
Speaker 4: we really only know like al the Alison character, and
Speaker 4: the Billie character, and the Jake character, and the Jane
Speaker 4: and Michael, like we haven't really gotten to know much
Speaker 4: about Matt or Ronda, Like we just don't we.
Speaker 3: Don't know what they're doing yet. Or even Sandy. She's
Speaker 3: really just there.
Speaker 4: We know she's an actress, but we haven't seen her
Speaker 4: have like a storyline of her own. She's really just
Speaker 4: their sort of supporting right Jake's storyline and being sort
Speaker 4: of like an advice giver or stick her nose in
Speaker 4: it person like.
Speaker 3: But so what.
Speaker 4: We don't really know much about her yet storyline wise.

Speaker 2: thought of Melrose that we were always kissing there, so
Speaker 2: we thought we'd start to this this episode I have.
Speaker 2: I'm going with sixteen.
Speaker 3: Just because I will take your word for it.
Speaker 2: Well, Ronda and Alex, Grant and Kelly had three or four,
Speaker 2: you know. Michael and Jane had three, and then this
Speaker 2: major makeout which I gave five two, and then and
Speaker 2: then there was the pack that Jane gave him post
Speaker 2: coital and bed, and I counted that as a kiss.
Speaker 2: So I met sixteen, which is not bad for Melrose Place,
Speaker 2: even though it gets steamier as it goes.
Speaker 1: Yea, Yeah, it doesn't feel steamy at this point.
Speaker 4: I loved I loved seeing you know, Nest Carbonell way
