Sunday night at the law offices of Harrison and Parker, the sexual tensions seem to be coming to a boil as even Kim got a little love interest going, and despite missing our new guardian screw up and feisty secretary the episode managed to give just the right amount of fun and drama that I really love about the show.
When we last left our lovers, things were not okay in the Jane/Grayson land, and really how could they be? The man did drive a huge wedge by turning Terri in. Still, I agree with Stacy that Jane needs to rise above it, not because it’s not the truth… but because she needs the inner peace and let’s face it… She belongs with him. The big problem with this? Grayson cannot keep from doing the wrong thing, first by telling Jane she was irrational when Jane attempts to apologize and then again by whining to Kim about it. Never tell a woman she is being irrational, basically what you’re saying is “you’re crazy.” Gosh, how could anyone get mad about that? And then to tell an ex fling turned friend about the cracks in a budding relationship? What the hell?! Are you going to tell them all our bedroom activities too?! It’s a clear violation of intimacy.
Speaking of intimacy, Kim finds herself in a bit of an identity pickle this week when a handsome stranger asks her out. Seeing as he’s sharply dressed, and let’s face it a social life is a huge break from single mother hood, Kim accepts only to find out he is working as a temp, replacing Terri. For those of us that know that deep down Kim has a heart, even if it’s 3 sizes too small sometimes, definitely were pulling for him! Still Kim’s major flaw is that she is forever upwardly mobile, like dating and having a child with Parker, and you want to start screaming as she begins her dance of self-sabotage as she debates whether she can stand dating a “regular guy.” This reeks of “Cliff” from Ugly Betty and don’t pretend like you didn’t watch that show! Still it’s a tale as old as time as the writers push this “different worlds” plot.
This season seems to really want to shove family to the forefront, what with Kim experiencing single motherhood in the work place, Owen struggling to respect Stacy’s wishes to stay out of a relationship with her, the previous adoption case and now the Bowen’s case that Kim is given. Enter the adorable Bowen children, of which there are 4, who lost their parent’s in an accident but thankfully were all adopted together. Or so they thought, It appears that the couple who fostered them only used them to get their home renovated on a reality TV show and then promptly booted them back to foster care. The hardest part is that, under the law, this is permissible as the children were not party to the agreement between the show and the couple. Isn’t that disgusting?
Well right when you get the major feels we are sent to Stacy land, and frankly that place scares me. I know they wanted ditzy for Stacy but, this week she’s just plain dumb. This week a southern waitress and daughter of a mid-wife convinces our yoga doing, smoothie drinkin mom to be that she is carrying an evil baby. Why? Because she is burping a lot. That’s right, she is whipped into frenzy because she has gas, imagine that a pregnant woman with gas… Ugh, maybe it’s because I’ve been pregnant, but these people are ridiculous.
So what’s going on in the awkward world of Jane/Grayson, well they’ve been dragged to a federal detention center to defend a high risk to national security. When they get there, it’s a soccer mom who has no idea why she is there and according to the department of homeland security, Jane and Grayson have no right to know other than she is being charged with treason. The scary thing is, when you figure it all out, this could happen to anyone and they, by law, do not have to tell you what you did. So what did she do? Well she used the internet, more importantly the whole family used the computer. So she looked up a yellow cake recipe (another term for uranium) and emailed a family friend in Saudi Arabia, her husband bought fertilizer for his business and her son worked on his mobile app (writing immense amounts of code). Thank you patriot act, for monitoring out internets in the name of ‘Merica. So should be easy enough to debunk with a search engine history, right? Not when the search engine refuses to give you the results in the name of protecting privacy. As always on this show, there is a major plot being hidden and with the search engine’s government contract hanging in the balance they attempt to slow down Jane by hacking her computer. This only makes them even guiltier of trying to hide the flaws in their monitoring software, and sets our mom free! Okay, now go make me a yellow cake woman!
Back in the Bowen case Kim convinces the shows lawyer to let the children sue on behalf of the show and presents the definite fraud by the disgraceful couple. Hurray the kids get a new house and so does their Grandmother! Happy ending, and for Kim it’s just another view into the heart we all know is in their under the armor. Speaking of letting down the guard, things seem to heat up between Kim and David, could a “regular guy” be the answer to her power driven life?
As for burping Stacy, the answer wasn’t evil after all. Its twins! And, sadly it’s another blow to Owen who has really fallen for Stacy. Um… dude she made out with your brother, isn’t that about as non-kosher as you get? On top of that he wants to he opens up to Jane about it. Owen, just shit or get off the pot!
So how do we wrap this up? Oh yeah by Grayson taking Jane to the bedroom… Thanks Grayson, that was subtle… Meh… I think we jumped the shark, perhaps it’s good this is the last season, because this is wrapping up to happily ever after. Boring!
