Again With This: Dawson's, Melrose, 90210

Amanda and Sam's crash site still hasn't been found, and Kyle is DETERMINED to locate it NO MATTER WHAT and REGARDLESS of whose actually experienced toes he steps on!!! (Billy is also there, kind of circling Kyle and yapping like that little dog in the old Looney Tunes cartoon.) Anyway -- spoiler? -- the ladies are located and treated for their injuries, and it turns out Amanda wasn't just whining about her back: it is seriously injured, to the degree that she may be paralyzed. (Or just have to stay in bed for a while because of Heather Locklear's pregnancy.) While Sam is still recovering -- and totally convinced by Billy's version of Connie's snitching about their kiss -- Billy urges Connie to go see her, promising he didn't tell her anything about...you know. GloveCo is thriving, but Coop still wants to get rid of Michael; soft-hearted and/or stupid Megan just wants him to ignore Michael instead. While Peter is occupied by Amanda's treatment, Lexi lavishes her attention onto Bob, in a decision she almost immediately regrets, and will probably rue even more very soon. What's that behind you? We'd never front about this: we've brought you a podcast on "Amanda's Back"!

The GloveCo lawsuit is behind us...sort of: Michael is so bitter about having been cut out of the business for the obvious reasons that he uses his Chief of Staff position to forbid the glove's use in surgery by ANY hospital personnel. Coop hatches a plan to strip Michael of this authority, but it's going to require that Michael believe a woman who hates him also wants to bone. Hmmm, could it possibly work?! Peter is also an accessory to this plan, but he's got his own problems: Bob is back in town (crutch-free), and since he's looked up Peter and Lexi's address and popped by, Lexi decides to atone for her crime by giving him a job. It's Billy's birthday, and though Sam has planned a huge celebratory extravaganza, it's going to have to wait until next year: Amanda's bringing her on a location scout for a new client's campaign. Left alone with Billy, Connie only needs to wait for him to get slightly tipsy to create the conditions for him to try to make out. But then Charlie shows up and is NOT WHAT WE EXPECTED...in 1998; in 2023 it's been quite obvious for a while. Kyle and Taylor embark on her plan to win their mortgage payment at the craps table in Vegas, as Kyle also does his usual not-great "best" resisting her sexual advances. We're flying in with a podcast on "To Kill A Whirlybird"!

Having learned in the last episode that Lexi (a) has a problem with pills and (b) ran a guy over, Jennifer wastes no time putting her intel to use on Michael's behalf: she tells Coop she can get Lexi to release him from his alimony obligation if Coop will drop the lawsuit against Michael and turn over any relevant documents (which she still believes are fake anyway). Evidently, Coop is too focused on winning Megan away from Michael to think through all the implications, and agrees -- so it's too bad that Megan, despite talking big talk about her plans to divorce Michael, seems extremely susceptible to his love bombing via gifts. As Sam gets increasingly distracted by her long hours at work, Connie seems to be taking advantage of her absence by creeping ever closer to Billy (particularly to his lips). And though Kyle's heartbreak over Amanda is making him even worse at business than usual, a well-timed visit by JON SECADA has Taylor hatching plans to save their lease...and also......make a balloon payment on their mortgage? We can't promise to sort out all the real estate nonsense as we talk "A Tree Talks In Melrose"!

We've said a lot of hurtful things about Coop, because he is a bad character and we have assessed him accurately. But one of the smartest things we've ever seen him do is try to get Craig on his side in the glove lawsuit by showing him the hard evidence that proves Coop really did come up with the idea first. When Jennifer is present for Craig's deposition, where he truthfully testifies about it, she confronts Michael about what he may have gotten her into; Michael has her on side, but he's going to have to do some fancy footwork to keep her there, which will be hard now that his attention is split between that and obsessing about Megan and Coop's burgeoning relationship. Peter returns to the scene of Lexi's hit-and-run and finds the victim, an unhoused person named Bob. Though he tries to keep Lexi from finding out what she did, even she is able to put the pieces together when the cops show up and tell her about the person Peter saved after some scofflaw ran him over. Amanda continues to be distressed about Kyle, and Taylor continues to be a brat about it. And as Sam continues killing her pitches in Seattle, Billy has a hard time finding reasons to avoid his very friendly new roommate, Connie. Did you hear that? Don't worry, it's just our podcast on "A Bump In The Night"!

Peter confronts Lexi about the pills he found in her purse, which he went ahead and asked Coop about behind her back, and guess what: she feels betrayed! Fortunately, she's easily distracted by the project of redecorating not just the condo, but the offices of the Mancini Glove Company, too. Décor is the least of Michael's concerns: he's busy trying to convince Megan that she's extremely frail, and also that he was the one who kept a vigil during her coma, both of which require that he keep Coop far away from Megan. Meanwhile, Jennifer's loose lips give Coop yet another front from which to attack Michael. Amanda continues trying to convince Kyle that she wasn't dishonest with him about Eric (even though...lady, come on). But now that Taylor's crept one step closer to reuniting with Kyle for more than a twenty-minute stand, she's got a new project: convincing Kyle to let Amanda sell her share in the jazz club. Amanda's got different hassles at the office, what with Sam and Billy taking off for their honeymoon, so it's a good thing Connie's around to deliver Sam's storyboards (having "touched them up" a little herself first), schmooze her way into a temp job, and talk Amanda into sending Sam on a pitch meeting to Seattle. What's going on with Connie, and are things really on the rocks for her and Charlie? Don't go anywhere: we've made you a new podcast on "Everybody Comes To Kyle's"!

After the previous episode's cliffhanger gets resolved, Amanda must do damage control, trying her very best to convince Kyle that she did NOT accept Eric's offer even though, yes, when Kyle kicked his way into Eric's suite, she WAS in bed with him, naked. Then Billy stops by Kyle's to tell him that a bunch of their clients have come back, and whatever Amanda did, it's working. Hey, Billy? STAY OUT OF IT. Taylor keeps hoping unrest between Kyle and Amanda will mean she can slide back in with him. While Megan remains comatose, Coop is (unsurprisingly) drawn to her; at the same time, he and Michael wrangle over who gets to keep the bedside vigil. Lexi has gotten her prescription refilled, yet we're not sure the writers know what effect Valium has on a patient. Finally, the wedding draws ever closer, putting stress on Jennifer to find a date who will make Craig jealous, and causing Connie to get more direct about her feelings. Wake up! We made you a podcast on "My Little Coma Girl"!

Once again, the doctors are in disarray! When Peter bails Coop out of jail, Michael turns on both of them, convinced that even if Coop didn't physically pull the trigger at the beach house, he's behind the person who did. Michael's so fired up about finding the shooter that even Megan gets curious enough to join in the investigation. Coop himself is pretty shocked when Mrs. Shaw accosts him outside his apartment, and quickly figures out she's the culprit; since his was not his endgame with Michael, he informs her that he's going to send her back to Cleveland and have her check herself into a mental institution. PROBLEM SOLVED. At the same time, Peter -- a medical doctor -- can tell Lexi isn't quite herself, but not that she's pretty obviously going into withdrawal after running through the last of her tranquilizers. Jennifer is inspired by Billy and Sam's engagement to try to corner Craig into committing to dating her, and won't take "my wife was killed in front of me nine episodes ago so I'm not really ready" for an answer. And as Eric's deadline to take over Kyle's and Amanda's Business Business Business Businesses arrives, Amanda does some soul-searching as to how far she's willing to go to save them. We're slicing and dicing everyone involved in our podcast on "Attack Of The Scalpel Woman"!

Sarah will be back next week (yay!) so this week in lieu of a void of nothingness we're unlocking two episodes from the Again With This Club.

060: Let’s Watch Thomas Calabro On Law & Order! Back in the unlamented Greevey era of Law & Order: Mothership, Thomas Calabro played a variation on Robert Chambers named Ned Loomis in Season 1, Episode 4, "Kiss The Girls And Make Them Die." We have some notes.

064: Let’s Watch Josie Bissett, Laura Leighton, And Daphne Zuniga In Their Fantasy Island Episode! We couldn't NOT watch three Melroseans in the Fantasy Island reboot -- especially in an episode that's a meta meditation on aging in Hollywood and societal double standards. Did the show convert Sarah? And what's with the tomato boobs?

While Amanda keeps the secret of Eric's designs against Kyle's entire hospitality empire, Eric completes his purchase of the KYLE'S/jazz club property, giving Kyle 30 days to exit. And that's not all: he's ALSO planning to sell Amanda's new agency to one of her competitors. However, he doesn't leave Amanda without hope: he will abandon all his plots if she will just do oooooooone little thing. Michael is still being harassed by either Kimberly or someone working very hard to convince him that they're her. Michael accuses virtually everyone in his life of being the culprit -- though not Craig and Jennifer, since his main complaint about them at the moment is that they're not giving him enough adulation at the newly formed medical device company. Peter is happy to use Michael's crazy-sounding stories against him in order to get his Chief of Staff job back, but otherwise his life is going pretty great. He can even openly date Lexi now, and enjoy total honesty in their relationship, because she has nothing to hide! Nothing she keeps in her purse that Coop apparently prescribed for her, that's for sure!!! Also Billy and Sam are tiresomely planning their wedding and even more tiresomely arguing about how much it's going to cost. We're gunning for everyone in our podcast on "A Shot In The Dark"!

The main drama swirls around the doctors this time: Michael's already had a prototype cauterizing glove made and is ready to start making money off it immediately by selling it to a medical company; Craig wants to use it to build a company himself, which will make him and both Mancini siblings money in the long term. When Jennifer sees that Michael's stubbornness is going to drive Craig away (from her), she engages in a little espionage to force Craig and Michael into an arranged marriage, business-wise. Though Coop does find out about some of this eventually, it can't be top of mind: he's found out that Lexi got his real books, he knows he's about to get screwed in their divorce settlement, and he wants to know who's to blame. And she's not the only woman in the episode who's giving him trouble. Kyle, continuing to stew (no pun intended) over the loss of KYLE'S East, asks Amanda why she told Eric about it. She says she didn't, which only makes Kyle more suspicious about how Eric found out, particularly after he and Taylor are notified that they also just lost their lease on KYLE'S West, because someone bought the property; Taylor used her feminine wiles to find out that the buyer is a certain Upper West Holding Company, and wouldn't you know it, that's who bought KYLE'S East too. They decide to stake out a restaurant and try to get more info on who their landlord's been dealing with…which unfortunately happens to be the same place Amanda's meeting Eric and Megan, and she totally spots them sneaking out the back and assumes they were there together for romantic reasons. In other Eric news: Megan asks if he will teach her how to business, and since he thinks he can use her to make Amanda jealous, he accepts. Finally: Billy and Sam show up for one scene so he can give her an engagement ring and get her shirt off in his office. Gather all your spouses and listen to our podcast on "Secrets And Wives"!
