If you worried that we might not hear about the jazz club this time, don't! Amanda has decided she needs to formalize her partnership with Kyle, and he eventually agrees -- as long as there's no chance Peter is going to weasel his way in. Amanda is on the same page, but regarding Taylor, so a summit is arranged at which the matter of these two lingering divorces is finally addressed. Taylor is pretty eager to sign any paperwork Kyle puts in front of her considering that Peter is still being controlling about her full-on Beth impersonation, but Michael is still hanging around, looking to turn Taylor's building resentment against Peter, to Michael's advantage. Meanwhile, Craig is still pursuing his campaign to make Sydney horny enough to drop her lawsuit; it's too bad she's not the only one he should be trying to manipulate. Former fiancés Billy and Alison are not having a great time: Billy the idiot lets Sam convince him not to call the cops on Jim immediately; and Alison learns that being on your best behavior as a potential adoptive parent means you don't get any nights off to get hammered. Jennifer lands on her feet -- presumably in spike heels, since she's waiting tables at a strip club; and Matt and Denise are still having the same fight about Chelsea.

 🥵 Hot In Cleveland S02.E04: "Sisterhood Of The Traveling SPANX" on Paramount Plus 

 🐴 Jackass "Urban Kayaking" segment on YouTube 

Our A plot is basically a thicket of bad decisions: Amanda and Kyle going into the JAZZ CLUB business together! Jennifer impulsively outing her five-month affair with Kyle -- because yes, she was the server he fooled around with in Boston! Alison drinking in virtually every one of her scenes and Jake defending it to Amanda and Billy! And Taylor going along with Peter's domineering-husband role-play! For a while, anyway. The former employee's of Sydney's (RIP) are both getting jerked around by the shadiest men in their lives: Jim is trying to extort even more money out of Sam, while Craig keeps tabs on Sydney by treating her to a Palm Springs spa vacation she seems to see no reason to question. Denise reluctantly goes along with a judge's order that Chelsea resume living with Matt, but on her lawyer's advice, she deputizes Chelsea to start keeping a snitch log they can eventually use to contest Matt's custody in court. Take off that sensible skirt suit and let down your french twist: it's time for our podcast on "All Beths Are Off"!

Frasier S05.E17: "The Perfect Guy" on Hulu

Sydney's not thrilled that the grift she and Harry ran on D&D has resulted in actual injury for her. She is thrilled that he thinks they can take the agency for $5 million. Amanda's not worried about the lawsuit since this is exactly why they have insurance, but whoops, it turns out their policy renewal required some exclusions: of course the rickety stairs to the Business Balcony were among them, and of course Craig never got around to fixing them. But it's fine because he knows how to solve this problem: he'll just seduce Sydney so she drops the suit! Hey, I have a great icebreaker about one thing they have in common: carelessness with their insurance policies. Amanda can't concern herself too much with this, because she's got Kyle to hang out with AS FRIENDS. Just friends on the dance floor, talking about their dreams! That's a much more pleasant topic for her than a disastrous job interview she's just conducted with one Jennifer Mancini -- yes, Michael's younger sister, who's just shown up in L.A. to start a new life, but not in advertising. When Sam warns her father that the feds are on to him, he declines her suggestion that he turn himself in; instead, he sneaks out to a motel, Sam lies to Billy that he went to Chicago, and then easily gets $500 out of him to pass on to Jim to finance his vague plans of fleeing the country. Matt and Denise are still wrangling over Chelsea, and Jake still has one very special ex: Colleen is in town to ask for his help with David, and to make things weird for Alison. If some of this sounds familiar, you may also hear US say so in our podcast on "Deja Vu, All Over Again"!

Having lost everything thanks to Hilda's scam lawsuit, Sydney still doesn't want to accept Hilda's lawyer's offer to become his new partner in financial crime, but it's hard to deny they make a good team when they grift $2000 off another driver in well under two minutes flat. So she seeks a job waiting tables at Kyle's, which he's happy to give her as soon as he confirms it's really going to bug Taylor. But how long will Sydney hold out against Harry's attractive pitch -- particularly once she realizes she could use their combined skills against Amanda, her main rival for Kyle's affections? The aforementioned Taylor has problems outside the restaurant, too, as Peter keeps buying her dowdy clothes; when Kyle returns Peter and Beth's wedding album to her, she finally figures out exactly why Peter's giving her this extreme makeover. Sydney's not the only one hitting up a neighbor for a job in hospitality: Sam gets Jake to give her dad, Jim, a job at Shooters. Not even Billy's report of receiving threats from Jim about their relationship can convince Sam that his sudden return is worrisome and that Jim is keeping secrets from her. And she's not the only one awkwardly reuniting with a parent: Chelsea's mother Denise returns, much to Matt's chagrin. Jake and Alison decide to let fate determine where they're going to elope, and Megan refuses instructions from Michael on a scheme to undermine Peter, but accepts advice from Kimberly's ghost on how to keep their marriage alive. Our podcast on "The Dead Wives Club" is now called to order!

 🤑 The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills S05.E26: "Amster-damn!" on Peacock 

The last episode having left both Alison and Kimberly in possibly mortal danger from their own bodies (and not fire, or Michael, as is usually the case), it makes sense that they share the A plot. Alison has been hospitalized with toxemia and orders not to do anything that might raise her blood pressure, including watch TV -- which seems crazy until some gossip Jake relays (well, look who's suddenly not to good to repeat scandalous stories) makes her laugh herself into a seizure. Mrs. Shaw has responded to Michael's call and is, justifiably, horrified by the sight of her daughter's condition. But while Kimberly wants to leave Los Angeles on good terms with the only two characters who are still speaking to her, Mrs. Shaw (again, justifiably) hates Michael and doesn't want to co-operate. Billy's not happy with the way Sam's father Jim is taking advantage of her, and the more he learns about Jim's life of crime, the less he likes him. And while Sam herself is clearly also uncomfortable about Jim's return to her life, Sydney can't notice or care, since she's busy defending herself, very badly, against Hilda's nuisance suit. Peter may have moved on from Amanda, but he's apparently yet to move on from Beth, while Amanda ruins Craig's attempts to spend time with her outside of work by inviting Kyle along. And Chelsea's mother actually decides to phone her half-orphaned child at Matt's, and announce her plans to take Chelsea back to Paris with her. Get on board while we're Young(stown): it's our podcast on "Last Exit To Ohio!

 🎸  The unaired pilot of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures on YouTube 

Alison continues to go stir-crazy on cervix-related bed rest, so when Amanda announces that she's taking over one of Alison's big clients, Alison decides the money is too important, and sneaks into the office for a day to do the pitch herself. Of course this is the one day Jake ever comes home early from Shooters, and the return of Seething Incubator Cop Jake is unwelcome to say the least. Things are far different for Alison's boss, however! Taylor has fully moved in with Peter, ignoring all hints and direct recommendations that she not plan to make it permanent. And the way people are sharing her personal business, she shouldn't plan on going back to Kyle, either: Amanda tells him what she heard Jake heard Alison heard in the courtyard in the last episode, so Kyle confronts Taylor and finally gets her to admit the whole truth about why they live in Los Angeles now. But if divorce has turned Kyle into a twisted husk, Amanda is living her best life: buying a Jaguar, killing the game at work, and flirting with Kyle -- maybe for real, and maybe just for sport. Michael decides that the way to make sure Megan doesn't accidentally become a sex worker again is to give her a straight job, which is how she becomes the practice's newest receptionist. It's also how she happens to be present when Kimberly's neurologist shows up to tell Michael that Kimberly is at risk of dying from an aneurysm if she won't agree to surgery. Michael either doesn't believe it or doesn't care, but when Megan goes to see her, she can tell the danger to Kimberly's life is very real, and does what all Burns-Mancini office staffers do: she steals from the practice (this time, to send a nurse to take care of Kimberly). While Sydney tries to handle her lawsuit -- which is going to be hard, because she carelessly let her insurance lapse and can't afford a lawyer -- Samantha climbs the friendship ladder with another neighbor, pitching in on Matt's efforts to locate his runaway niece. It's a mother of a podcast on "From Here To Maternity"!

 📏 8 Simple Rules S01.E20: "Every Picture Tells A Story" on Disney Plus 

With so many people's drama suddenly exploding into chaos, how is SYDNEY the pivot point? Well: she lets it slip in conversation with Peter that she slept with Kyle at the restaurant. Taylor walks in just in time to hear Peter confronting Kyle about it. And Kyle's at the center of a lot of eavesdropping action: first, when an ordered-to-couch-rest Alison overhears Taylor admitting to Kyle that Peter was once her brother-in-law, which Alison goes on to tell Jake; then, when Sam overhears Kyle telling Sydney that the news is out about their hookup. Oh, and: Sydney is the victim of an obvious slip-and-fall scam artist played by Edie McClurg! Somehow, Megan's arrest makes it to the newspaper of a large metropolitan city, causing her scandalized landlady to evict her on 24 hours' notice. Megan self-pities her way through the next couple of days, moving into a cheap motel and leaving all vestiges of her life with Michael back at her vacant house for him to collect. And Chelsea continues to be a pain in all surviving Fieldings' asses. Rejoice! We've blessed you with a podcast on "101 Damnations"!

Amanda immediately regrets revenge-boning Craig, but honestly, she gets off easiest in this episode! Taylor takes her bruised face to Peter's, and is horrified to learn that Peter totally knew that Amanda saw them fooling around but declined to tell her: now she's worried that the information is going to get back to Kyle, known loose cannon. Turns out she's right to be worried about BOTH those things, and probably should have spent some of her commuting time coming up with better cover stories than "I was at the gym" to satisfy Kyle's curiosity. She's such a bad liar, in fact, that Kyle returns to Nick to find out what HE knows; when he hears the tape of Taylor and Peter's filthy phone sex, it seems like he really wishes he hadn't. Josh The Pimp hatches an extremely baroque plan: Kimberly will think she's showing Michael that Megan is seeing clients again, but ACTUALLY Josh and Megan will be setting Kimberly up to look like a liar by lining up a fake client. But could it ACTUALLY be the case that Josh has his own agenda? HMMM. Also Matt has a brother named Luke -- or, rather, had, because the first time we're hearing about him is when their mom tells Matt that he died in a plane crash, leaving a teen daughter, Chelsea, who may have bigger issues than either of Luke's adult survivors is prepared to deal with. HEY! Sorry to yell -- we just want you to listen to our podcast on "Screams From A Marriage"!

Taylor and Peter know that Nick is on to them since, you know, he told them -- and he's also toying with Taylor by suggesting that he actually MIGHT eventually show Kyle the photos. So Taylor and Peter hatch a scheme of their own, to disable Nick long enough for Peter to sneak into his apartment and steal the incriminating evidence. Meanwhile, Craig pouts his way into getting Amanda to rent him Alison's old apartment (VERY old, at this point -- has it been vacant this whole time?!), on the condition that he not use it to insinuate himself further into her life. And how could he, living RIGHT NEXT DOOR to her? Josh The Pimp continues his campaign against Megan and Michael's...do we want to call it happiness, really? Soon, we find out he hasn't returned to her life by random chance; he has a benefactor who busted him out of prison and who is really just using Josh The Pimp as a tool to break up Michael and Megan. Guess who it is? The answer won't surprise you. Jake, Alison, Billy, Sam, and Sydney all get one scene to let us know they still exist -- a courtesy not extended to Matt. We're making vivid word pictures for you in our podcast on "Frames 'R' Us"!
