July 26, 2021MP S04.E06: The Jane Mutiny
Now that Jack's told Amanda he tracked her down so they could officially get divorced, she's eager to get the process completed so that he can leave town; she doesn't even want any of his assets or their community property -- not even that big-ass painting!!! But as he keeps hanging around, she starts to worry that he's going to resume behaving in ways that made her fake her death to flee him in the first place. Elsewhere at D&D, Brooke is so focused on making Alison tell her exactly what's going on with her and Hayley that she's apparently forgotten that she's a VP now and as such has responsibilities she's supposed to fulfill -- like bringing in business. Panicking, she declares that she'll deliver her father's company as a client, forcing her to beg Alison to help her do it. When Hayley actually does come in as a client, however, he makes sure to do it in a way that elevates Alison and humiliates Brooke. Extremely improbably, "the medical board" has judged Kimberly sane enough to be released into Peter's care, with a monitor that, for some reason, goes on her wrist instead of her ankle. (Though Kimberly's also going to be living in Peter's guest room and assumes sex is going to be back on the menu, he stresses that his interest in her is purely platonic.) However, when Sydney and Michael find out Kimberly's no longer incarcerated -- and help themselves to her medical records -- they hatch a plan to get her committed again. Even though Jo seemed pretty unconcerned in the last episode when Jane blithely admitted she was marrying Richard despite the fact that she didn't love him, now it's really weighing on her conscience and forcing her to get back into their business. And after Dr. Hobbs agrees to a deposition in his countersuit against Matt, for defamation, he plays right into Tom's very sexy hands. All aboard for our podcast on "The Jane Mutiny"!

July 19, 2021 MP S04.E05: Drawing Henry
Once Peter brings in a sketch artist to draw a portrait of Henry (fka Schmob) from Kimberly's description, he is determined to find out who he is -- a real person? a stand-in for someone else she knew? Kimberly can't summon the memory, so he calls her mother, who is clearly stricken at the sound of his name, and comes to L.A. to tell Kimberly the whole sordid story. Elsewhere, Peter gets subpoenaed -- along with Michael and Dr. Hobbs -- to testify in Matt's sexual discrimination case. (Once again, we must report, Matt does a poor job respecting lawyers' function in the legal system, including outside courtrooms.) Jack lets Brooke know he's in town, and that he's going to need her to co-operate with him on reuniting with Amanda. She tries to keep everything to herself, but when Billy follows her to a meeting with Jack -- assuming, reasonably, that she's cheating on him -- she actually tells him the truth, for once. At the same time, her father goes around her to Alison, hoping she will join him in breaking up Billy and Brooke. However, the more time she spends with Hayley, the less interested she seems in Billy. Richard leverages Jo's job security to get her to counsel Jane to accept his proposal, which Jo finds around her already packed schedule of being jealous of the time Jake is spending with Shelly. Perhaps you'd like to draw a bath before enjoying our podcast on "Drawing Henry"!

July 12, 2021 MP S04.E04: Simply Shocking
Since discovering Amanda PAREZI's Florida driver's license, Brooke evidently hasn't stopped thinking about what it could mean and how to use it to her advantage. So when she heads off to Miami to (as far as Billy knows) investigate a commercial real estate investment, she quickly turns up Amanda and Jack's wedding announcement and Jack's home address, where she meets the man himself and determines that his wife, Amanda, died five years ago. Brooke returns to L.A. to extort her way into a better job and there will probably be no further repercussions! At all! Oh, and while she was gone, Billy started to share her suspicions that Alison's eyesight had returned, and got Alison to come clean. Peter confides in Sydney that the reason he's so focused on keeping Kimberly out of detention is that he had a sister who was mentally ill, and was too young to have helped her when she was in crisis. Michael decides the best way to keep Kimberly from being released is to keep riling her up in her cell, and he's got a great idea how to do it: reunite with Sydney, bring her to jail, and make out with her in front of Kimberly! Meanwhile, Dr. Calvin Hobbs has no compunction gloating to Peter and Michael about his having fired Matt for being a [slur redacted]. Matt just wants to drink his problems away, but Michael encourages Matt to seek redress so that Hobbs will get fired and clear a path for Michael to replace him. Michael even refers the matter to a local LGBT advocacy group, but Matt doesn't want to pursue the case...or does he? Jane and Richard continue having the same fight -- Richard is annoyed that Jane is taking over so much of the business, and Jane is annoyed by his attachment to a dead woman -- which they briefly suspend so that he can propose and she can accept, just as long as he keeps it quiet until after the fashion show for their make-or-break spring line. And with Jo so wrapped up at the studio, she's missing a lot of developments between Jake and Shelly, from Shelly crashing at Jake's to Jake telling Shelly the truth about how Jess died to Shelly starting work as the new bookkeeper at Shooters. Jo wonders why Shelly would WANT to spend so much time with the man who killed...the man she thought she was just about to reconcile with. Hmmm, now so are we! You'll be electrified by our podcast on "Simply Shocking"!

July 05, 2021 MP S04.E03: Blind Ambition
Remember the last episode when Matt punched Paul at the hospital and his lawyer Alicia was like "Please don't" and he was like "Cool, cool," and we thought he understood why such actions would NOT be good for his case? Well, in THIS episode, he's just decided to wire himself up and try to maneuver Paul into confessing to all his crimes so that he can get it on tape. Alicia destroys the first, not-especially-incriminating recording Matt makes, telling him it's inadmissible anyway, and when Matt pushes back, she agrees that she shouldn't represent him anymore. Instead of taking this as a bad sign that he needs to sort himself out, Matt accepts an invitation from Paul to go over to the manse and just talk. Oh, MATT. Jane hires Jo to be Mackenzie Hart's in-house photographer, even boldly inviting Jo and Jake out for a celebratory dinner with Jane and Richard. Somehow, Jane did not foresee Richard using this occasion to bitch at Jane, through Jo, that Jane fired his photographer in order to free up the position for Jo. But when Jo later lays into Jake for failing to take her side, it does lead to a breakthrough for the two of them. Brooke is getting increasingly aggressive in her efforts to keep Billy away from Alison. Though Alison seems to be respecting Brooke's express orders to become more self-sufficient, Alison has her own agenda, and kicks it into a higher gear when her medical circumstances change. Peter urges Kimberly to put on a more convincing performance of criminal insanity when his hand-picked psychiatrist comes to assess her. Kimberly fails to win a psych ward Oscar on the day, but little does Peter know that it may not actually take much for her to start hearing voices...again. It's okay if you close your eyes -- that might just make your hearing more sensitive for our podcast on Melrose Place's 100th episode, "Blind Ambition"!

June 28, 2021 MP S04.E02: Melrose Is Like A Box Of Chocolates
Things are starting to get back to normal-ish at the complex: with the place under construction, Amanda has arranged for the tenants in the intact apartments to billet the ones whose apartments were ruined...and invited herself to Sydney's place. This is only one of Sydney's problems this week, however: instead of talking to Jo, the only other person affected by Jess's death, Jake is self-medicating with booze and alienating everyone who loves him -- including Sydney, whom he fires when he judges her insufficiently festive at the bombing survivors' party he throws. Good thing Peter and Michael need a receptionist! Speaking of whom: while Michael remains skeptical of his motives, Peter continues trying to help Kimberly, mostly to no avail: Kimberly won't co-operate with a court psychiatrist's assessment of her sanity, and Amanda refuses his request that she not file stalking charges against Kimberly. Meanwhile, Matt doesn't help his case by confronting Paul at the hospital and punching him in front of a cafeteria's worth of witnesses. Alison, rooming with Jane, gets on board with Jane's plan for them both to get ahead in life by becoming totally obnoxious girlbosses, starting by getting Amanda to give her back her job at D&D. Brooke isn't happy to learn that this means she's actually going to be sharing a job with her mortal enemy, and impetuously quits: she doesn't need a job when her marriage has knocked down the last hurdle standing between her and her inheritance from her mother! And Jane's attempts to throw her weight around at the Mackenzie Hart offices earn more scorn from Richard. Grab a park bench and join us for our podcast on "Melrose Is Like A Box Of Chocolates"!

June 21, 2021 MP S04.E01: Postmortem Madness
The Season 4 premiere picks up where the Season 3 finale left off: with Kimberly setting off an explosion at the Melrose Place apartment complex!!! In the immediate aftermath, we kind of just have to sort out who lived and died, but don't worry -- there are way more of the former than the latter. Peter has Kimberly (justifiably) committed to a psych ward; it doesn't seem like Schmob is still bothering her, but she also can't remember her part in the bombing or believe she actually could have done it. Billy and Brooke's marriage gets off to a rocky start when Billy asks to postpone the honeymoon due to, you know, all his friends who are injured -- most notably Alison, who has gone blind. It's probably only temporary, but she doesn't want Billy to know that. Matt is hurt by what he perceives as his parents' lack of support following his arrest on charges of capital murder, but does accept the fancy criminal lawyer they set him up with. Considering how much he hated Jess, and the reason the two of them were fighting at that construction site in the first place -- namely that Jess brutally attacked Jo -- Jake is being pretty pissy at Jo, the only other person in L.A. who is grieving Jess. And when Jane sees an opportunity for her career opening up thanks to the bombing, she doesn't really try to make it palatable for Richard, who finds her plans for the future of his company rather ghoulish. Please join us for our audio autopsy of "Postmortem Madness"!
