Hey, everyone! If you want to refresh your memory about what happened on episode 7, here’s the episode recap. Enjoy!

 

The Gelato and the Pube: Younger Season 4, Episode 8

At home, Diana (Miriam Shor) reads Marriage Vacation, the full “novel” of Charles’ wife. At the gym, Kelsey (Hillary Duff) and Lauren are reading the book.

At home, Liza (Sutton Foster) and Maggie (Debi Mazar) talk about the book before work. Maggie and Liza hear cock sounds early in the morning. When they go to the roof to check it out, they meet their married gay couple neighbors, who tell them that this is for their restaurant. To thank them for putting up with the noise, they invite them to their restaurant.

At work, it is all they can talk about. When Charles (Peter Hermann) arrives, he talks to Diana, and she advises him to publish it so that he can control the narrative. Charles wonders if lawyers can stop her from publishing the book at all. Liza advises that Charles has dinner with Pauline before lawyers get involved, and tells him that she can watch the kids.

Diana gets a text from her boyfriend Richard that he has a surprise at home waiting for her. When she gets homes, she’s shocked to discover that the “surprise” is his college-aged son lounging on the sofa. She learns that the son, Ethan, is taking a pause from college, even though he has only a semester left. And that his mother is pissed. Richard asks if he can stay with them, and Diana unwillingly agrees.

Charles gets ready to meet Charles’ wife Pauline (Jennifer Westfield). Liza wishes him luck, and he asks her to text him in an hour so that he can leave. He also tells her how grateful that he is in her life.

Pauline starts by apologizing and telling Charles she is not the same woman she was a year ago. Liza texts him as planned, but Charles asks if she can stay for a little while. And texts her again. And again.

Liza is resting on the sofa in the hall when Charles arrives. He is withdrawn and tired, and has already called Liza a car.

In the morning, Diana asks Richard how long the boy would be staying with them.

Kelsey wants to know everything about the dinner – she isn’t sure they just talked. Charles asks to see Liza in his office. He apologizes for his behavior for the other night. He talks about what being a marriage is like, and Liza has to pretend she understands through her imagination. He has decided to publish the book as there is truth to the book. Pauline insisted on working with Millennial, and Liza in particular. Charles tells Liza that he has told Pauline it won’t happen, but Liza says it is okay. When Charles asks if it won’t be too uncomfortable, Liza asks “More uncomfortable than page 58?” And Charles smiles.

Later, Liza and Maggie go to their neighbors’ restaurant and are treated to a nice, long meal- where they talk about Liza’s situation with Charles.

At Josh’s, Josh (Nico Tortorella) and Kelsey talk about their previous failed relationships and tease each other about the other one’s bad choices. Then they go out to a bar.

At the restaurant, Liza and Maggie find out that the owners expect them to pay $500, and are understandably shocked. Later, they find themselves at the same bar as Josh and Kelsey. While getting drinks, Liza talks to the cute Irish bartender Claire, and corrects her assumptions about Josh being a player. When Josh comes, she introduces them and leaves them talk.

Josh and Claire walk together after her shift. They really hit it off, and they only separate so that she can go to her day job as a coder at a video game design company. But not before they kiss. Josh has a massive crush.

The next day for lunch, Liza meets with Charles’ wife about editing her book, and they get off on a good start. Liza tells her how women might not understand her leaving her kids to write the book. She says she wrote the book for her daughters so they don’t get into a marriage and become non-people – in the sense that they carry all the emotional labor. She also confesses to loving Charles.

At her living room at night, Diana goes crazy when she finds her boyfriend’s “fleshlight” –his son’s masturbation device and freaks out, telling him that he will buy her a new couch.

Maggie is cooking chickens for their meal. Josh texts Liza to thank her about introducing him to Claire. Maggie is shocked that Liza seems to be helping the men in her life get with other women. Liza jokes that she will end up like Jane Austen. Angry restaurant owner neighbors knock on the door, demanding to know where their chickens are. Maggie shows them to cooked chicken. They are outraged and attempt to call the police, and Maggie threatens that she will tell the police about their illegal garden on the roof. Before they can answer, she slams the door in their faces. She tells Liza that the chickens are actually from the market; she just had the chickens removed by calling the health department. Liza is impressed.

Diana is at work very early and tells about the son’s masturbation habits to Liza.

Liza goes to Charles’ office. She tells him about how Pauline made a mistake and wants her family back. Charles is adamant that he won’t let her ruin his relationship with Liza. Liza leaves the office with a confused smile.

Younger quickly became one of my favorite shows of all time.

It tells the story of Liza Miller, a 40-year-old woman with a college-aged daughter. When her marriage breaks down and she needs to go back to the publishing industry, she quickly learns she is too old for the job. But her artist best friend Maggie comes with an unconventional idea, inspired by the cute 26-year-old Liza met at a bar. He thought she was his age! So why not tell the whole world she is? In deed, after Maggie’s colorful makeover, Liza quickly lands the job of a marketing assistant. She also starts dating the cute 26-year-old from the bar Josh. But now she actually has to keep acting like a millennial. Can she pull off her two lives?

With the very exciting episode 9 coming up, I included a detailed recap of the events of episode. Recap of 8 is on the way. Enjoy!

Liza goes into Charles’ office to talk about his passionate and accidental confession, and they end up having amazing sex…only for Liza and us to realize it was one hell of a dream.

After Liza tells Maggie about it, Maggie tells her to just get it over with since Liza has obvious feelings for Charles, but Liza is hesitant.

Liza and Kelsey walk to work together with an anxious Kelsey who is still stressed. She is worried she might lose her job after her relationship with the editor – Zane – of a rival publishing house cost them their biggest earner. When Kelsey realizes her options for the day is either going to a pitchfest and listen to horrible pitches or face Charles, she takes Liza’s advice and goes back home, where Lauren has persuaded her to take a little getaway for girls. Josh gets himself invited with his weed.

Liza doesn’t see Charles in the office.

She goes to the pitchfest and listens to weird and indeed horrible pitches, until a woman named Pauline pitches a mature, realistic novel about being a woman who needs to take a vacation from her family after married life stifles her. Liza loves the idea.

During their getaway, Lauren realizes that Josh and Kelsey are attracted to each other, and says their relationship will go down the typical romantic comedy route. Kelsey denies this. But at night, Kelsey and Josh are outside, talking about trusting the wrong people. They share a moment and kiss, but Kelsey stops the kissing, saying it is not crazy but the wrong thing to do.

The same night, Liza sees Charles come into the office. They are the only souls there. She prints out the chapters, mostly as an excuse to talk to him. She goes into his office. She is nervous. She comments on Charles’ uneaten birthday cupcake. She babbles on, and when Charles comments that she seems jumpy, she just kisses him. They start making out, but the passionate session gets interrupted by the janitor. They panic and pretend everything is normal. After the janitor leaves, Charles really looks at the chapters and sees the name. He asks Liza how she got it, and what the woman looked like. Then he shows a picture from his drawer: Pauline is the ex-wife who left him! Charles abruptly leaves saying he has to leave and take care of it.

Liza is at home, lies on her bed. Charles calls, apologizing for his abrupt exit and that Liza got pulled into his family drama. He says some of the stuff that his ex put in the novel is honest. He also says he regrets that they got interrupted, not that it happened. A happy and conflicted Liza texts Pauline asking for more chapters.

Mad Love: The Following Episode 4 Review – The Mad Get Madder

I know I’ve posted only about The Following for the last couple of weeks, but it is the first time I’ve kept my promise (to myself) for writing regularly of a TV show that I really like. But worry not, a non-Following related post is on its way.

Until then, let’s take a look at another exciting episode:

(*Yes, there’ll be spoilers!)

MAD LOVE: EVENTS

To catch up with the episodes or refresh your memory, you can start with ……………

The kidnappers/Joe’s followers Emma (Valorie Curry), Paul (Adan Canto) and Jacob (Nico Tortorella) still have Joe’s son Joey, to the increasing panic of his mother Claire (Natalie Zea). After all they sent her an email showing him how to kill animals.

Ryan (Kevin Bacon) gets distracted, however, when Maggie, the lunatic wife of the Poe-masked killer Ryan killed, kidnaps his sister Jenny (Susan Misner) and tells him that she’ll let him go if he shows up unarmed and alone. Ryan’s biggest fan, and possibly only friend, Weston (Shawn Ashmore) convinces him to go along with, proving to be the sane and sensible person of the episode.

In the meantime, Jacob is left with the task of killing the girl Paul brought in, and Paul finally lets in Emma on Jacob’s secret: It’s not that they were actually having an affair when they were “pretending to be gay” – something Emma is already aware of. But that Jacob hasn’t killed anyone. This makes Emma more determined that it should be Jacob who kills the girl. But he isn’t ready so he lets her go. Unfortunately, she can’t run far without being wounded and recaptured by Paul and Emma-who seem to have formed a creepy new alliance over their killing experience and love for Paul.

Over in Brooklyn, as Weston tries to find a way in, Maggie has Ryan tied up, lying on makeshift table across her tied-up sister Jenny. Her plan is to make Jenny watch while her brother dies. There’s nothing that Ryan can do as she places magnetic fields on his chest, making his heart batteries stop.

Thankfully Weston comes in on time, saving Ryan and Jenny. Unfortunately, he ends up killing Maggie too, but now at least he has her phone and emails.

We get a few more flashbacks to Ryan and Claire relationship where Ryan decides to leave her for her own good. From what we can see, they are still in love with each other. But Ryan, being the good guy that he is, he doesn’t spend time with her other than to ask her how she’s doing and update her about the case.

MAD LOVE: Thoughts

  • Ryan is being a boy scout for no good reason

It might be just me, but I can’t wait for Ryan to follow his heart and reignite his affair with Claire.

What’s the point of staying away from Claire when Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) is back in their lives with a vengeance and doesn’t seem likely to be leaving any time soon? Besides, Ryan is a bit too optimistic in thinking that a woman can leave her past behind just because the FBI agent related to the case broke up with her. Hello? A serial killer ex active again from prison, with followers all over the country, with her son kidnapped by 3 of them…Where fake backgrounds are professional enough to fool the FBI.

  • Will Ryan smarten up?

Glad he’s armed again and all that, but what’s with trusting a lunatic to save his sister? Yes, it is the mistake every cop has ever done in pretty much any situation where the villain tells them “show up alone unarmed or he/she dies.” Right, because villains have always kept their word about not killing an innocent person. Please…

And this is not any villain, it is the psycho, revenge-seeking, Joe-following wife of the guy Ryan killed an episode ago.

OK, so even if we excuse Ryan’s panicked behavior, what the hell was he thinking not having his sister placed in protective custody? He has only one person to protect, so it’s not like FBI would deny him such a request. And since neither Carroll would play without Ryan, or they could crack the case without Ryan, all Ryan would have to do is to threaten to walk away.

But then again, I guess we should be lucky Ryan only really screwed up this time. Up until now, FBI was driving us crazy with their mistakes.

  • The mad get madder- The Threesome

Well, considering Emma was OK with Paul and Jacob having played house for 3 years and she was already dating Jacob, it wouldn’t have been that hard for her to do some stuff with Paul. He is the hot one, after all.

And hey, since Paul and Jacob seem to be more bi than gay, being in a three-way relationship could be a better option than Paul or Emma killing the other one in her/his sleep.

Let’s add one more thing to the things poor Joey will need to solve in therapy.

  • There’s a smart boy: Joey finds the phone

Claire’s son is smarter than he’s letting the kidnappers believe. He makes a mental note of where the cell phone is, which he’ll be using in the next episode where we are probably getting a confrontation between the FBI and the kidnappers.

*

Mad Love wasn’t that gory or disturbing. But it added some decent developments to the story. We got rid of another Joe follower, found out an interesting secret about Jacob, we had a scene where Emma and Paul made out other than fight or insult each other…We also got a creepy little information about Joe: he doesn’t mind if his following hasn’t killed anyone yet…They can join, and do the deed when they are ready…

What is your favorite episode so far?
