January 25, 2021 MP S03.E11: The Days Of Wine And Vodka
Zack encourages Alison to worry less about what her friends are saying about her recent behavior -- and her drinking, in particular -- and think more about what she really wants. Like a new car! How's she going to pay for the convertible she ends up with? She'll figure it out! Should she go with him to Santa Barbara when she has an early meeting the next day and the last time she did that she slept through her obligation? She sure shouldn't! Does she do it anyway? You bet! Does she end up in exactly the same predicament? Oh boy, does she ever. Since she's starting to get so sloppy that she's letting down her colleagues, she pretty much forces them to call her on it, but she is not ready to hear their fearless feedback at all. A shadowy underworld figure shows up at Shooters and starts threatening Jake with physical harm if he doesn't start paying into his protection racket. Jake refuses, but Sydney -- who knows these people don't screw around from her time with Lauren -- is more receptive to direct appeals with regard to ways she could "pay" Jake's protection money in trade. You know how. Oof. As Kimberly keeps getting more bad news about the difficulties she's going to have in starting a family, she keeps running into Jo at the doctor's office, and gets the story of Jo's legal setback. If she can't help herself, maybe she can help Jo? Matt's parents meet and are quite taken with Jeffrey -- so much that when Matt asks if he may bring him to Thanksgiving, they agree! There's just one problem: if they attend, Matt and Jeffrey may only represent themselves as good friends. Bruce is back on his feet, and back at the office against medical advice, but the news of someone buying up large blocks of troubled D&D stock are not doing his health any favors. Who could be behind such a scheme?! Pour yourself a stiff one and join us for our podcast on "The Days Of Wine And Vodka"!

January 18, 2021 MP S03.E10: And Justice For None
It's finally time for the custody hearing in which Jo will face off against the Carters. Apparently Jo's lawyer has just trusted that the character witnesses she's rounded up from the complex will be forceful and effective as opposed to the bunch of dimwitted tramps we know them to be, and puts them on the stand without, as far as we can tell, any kind of preparation or screening. So things already aren't going tremendously well even before Alison gets way too drunk the night before her testimony and messes up Jo's lawyer's big finish (which...somehow was not Jo herself? Seriously, this guy just may not know what he's doing). The reason Alison's out partying too much and ignoring her responsibilities is that she's picked up a drinking buddy -- Zack Phillips (Brian Bloom!), a cool record company executive. He's such a great distraction from her angst over Susan and Billy that he also distracts her from the power plays Amanda is running at the agency following Bruce's incapacitation from a sudden health crisis. Jeffrey and Matt continue figuring out how their relationship is going to work now, and Jane continues not figuring out that Chris is obviously shady in the extreme. Order! Please be seated for our podcast on "And Justice For None"!

January 11, 2021 MP S03.E09: Dr. Jekyll Saves His Hide
Instead of trying to figure out what the post-medical phase of his career is going to be, Michael is determined to return to his residency at Wilshire Memorial. The only problem is that he still hasn't figured out how to manipulate Peter -- but he won't need to, if he can just get Amanda to push Peter's buttons on Michael's behalf. Obviously Amanda isn't interested in helping Michael out of pure altruism, so she makes him an offer: if she can get Peter to rehire him, Michael will give her his share of Jane's company. There's a lot more blah blah business blah about this, but suffice it to say that a quasi-villain like Amanda should be a lot cannier about monologuing her process. Meanwhile, Jake and Sydney aren't aligned on how to proceed after sleeping together: he's really into her, and she's really worried about sucking him into the maelstrom that is her life. Susan and Alison try to start over in a spirit of honesty, with Susan dating Billy out in the open and Alison being okay with that. As anyone could have guessed, Alison is not actually emotionally prepared to do that, and drinking to dull her feelings about it doesn't help. Matt runs into Jeffrey by chance and finds out why he's been back in Los Angeles for months without getting in touch...and it's a rough one. And we finally meet the lawyer who's been taking all of Jo's money: John Saxon! He was in Enter The Dragon, so he might need a larger-than-average payday so he can get knee surgery or something. We've got a prescription for what ails you: our podcast on "Dr. Jekyll Saves His Hide"!

January 04, 2021 MP S03.E08: Love Reeks
After her assault by Chris, Sydney staggers back to Jake's to tell him what happened. This time he's ready to report the news directly to Jane instead of telling it to Jo and hoping it gets back to her, but he's not going to get the chance: Jane and Chris have gone to Las Vegas for the weekend, and when we rejoin them there, we find out that Chris is proceeding with his plans and proposing marriage, which she joyfully accepts! As soon as she hears where they are, Sydney knows what Chris is doing, and decides her best bet to derail his plans is to throw Michael at them -- officially because of their business association, but really because Michael will never stop trying to control Jane. Back in L.A., love is breaking out all over D&D! When Peter sends Amanda a giant bouquet of roses, she's put off by the gesture, but Alison encourages her to give him a chance. Peter's own attempt not to spook Amanda by asking her on a double date to the Hollywood Bowl leads Amanda to invite Billy and the lady of his choice to join them -- what about Susan? Stupid Susan lets Billy overrule all her concerns, and since they both have terrible op sec, Alison catches them kissing in the courtyard. Jo continues to struggle financially with the custody hearing looming; matters aren't helped when she ends up in the hospital and learns the stress of her situation has her gestating an ulcer along with a fetus. Can you smell what we're cooking? It's a podcast all about "Love Reeks"!

December 28, 2020 MP S03.E07: The Cook, The Creep, His Lover And Her Sister
Sydney is still trying to tell Jane what's been going on between her and Chris and Jane is still steadfastly refusing to hear her. When Jake stops by the studio delivering papers from Amanda and Chris, assuming Jake is a courier, just casually tries to involve him in objectifying Sydney, Jake pushes back. He then reports this to Jo, apparently counting on her to pass it on to Jane, which Jo does...but Jane still doesn't believe it and just takes it back to Chris to spin for her, which he can easily do now that he's had a day and a half to firm up his story. Jane then goes to yell at Jake before kicking Sydney out of her apartment and firing her from the studio. Chris also used his time to get out ahead of his Jake blunder with Sydney's probation officer, who threatens to send Sydney back to the mental institution now that she's unemployed and homeless, which is why it's very handy that Jake has just used the reward money the FBI conveniently gave him for his part in apprehending Brittany to buy Shooters: he can give Sydney a job! After seeing Michael and Kimberly at the agency, Bruce makes Amanda hire them, over her personal objections, for a "real people" coffee ad. Kimberly correctly predicts that Peter's not going to let them do it because it violates hospital rules, but all it takes is a visit from Amanda and her hot legs in her short skirt to convince him to do whatever she wants in order to keep her in his life. Alison's college roommate Susan is passing through town on her way to her new job as a chef in Santa Barbara, intriguing Billy in the process. But when the job falls through, Alison invites Susan to move into her spare bedroom while Susan figures out her next move. This won't be a problem at all!

December 21, 2020 MP S03.E06: No Strings Attached
While Jo and Amanda fret about where he could have gone, Jake turns up at the door of one Vince Connors (total Hey! It's That Guy! Raymond J. Barry). They've never met, but they know each other: Connors is Jake's biological father. Connors thinks Jake is in town to shake him down, but Jake just wants to spend some time with him, so Connors invites him over for a family dinner under the pretext that Jake is his old frat brother's son. Mrs. Connors's hospitality overrides Jake's promise that he would blow town again as soon as the plates had been cleared. Will biological father and son be able to forge a relationship deeper than mere DNA? The show's writers remember that they seeded a storyline about Chris being horny for Sydney a couple of episode and get around to paying it off: he's making obscene phone calls and groping her when Jane can't see him, knowing that Sydney's credibility is nearly at an all-time low. After Alison's complaints about Elizabeth get her fired, Jo encourages Alison to move on like Billy did -- immediately, with Mitch, a tall, blond stranger who's been eyeing her down at Shooters. Is this going to lead anywhere? In fairness to her, he gives her every indication that it will! But there may still be a tough lesson in this for Alison to learn. And at the hospital, Dr. Levin is out as Chief of Staff, as we officially kick off the Age of Dr. Peter Burns. Ditch all your obligations and join us for our podcast on "No Strings Attached"!
