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"!

December 14, 2020 MP S03.E05: Non-Sexual Healing
Now that Kimberly and Michael have gotten past the times each of them almost killed the other and are now fully committed to marriage, he's going to need to finalize his divorce from Sydney, as Kimberly reminds him. (Though the second she does, he lets her know that, actually, he doesn't want to leave Los Angeles the way she had planned for them to do before he got his memory back, and also, he expects her to start waiting on him like a good little wifey, so how much she will still want to be the third Mrs. Mancini after a few weeks of this treatment is tbd.) Sydney tries to play hardball but can't think of anything Michael could give her. Chris can: Michael could give her his share of Jane's business, which Sydney could then sell back to Jane. Sydney seems ambivalent of giving Jane a win, and resists Jane's calls not to negotiate with Michael without a lawyer present, but for the second time in two episodes, people trying to represent themselves really do have fools for clients! After receiving a mysterious videotape from Palmer indicating that he went out on the Pretty Lady with Jake, Amanda finds out that the vessel blew up, and that it's presumed that there are no survivors. (Dealing with Alison and Billy's petty crap -- now revolving around Billy's attraction to their new assistant, Elizabeth -- does not prove to be a welcome respite from her worries.) But were the cops at the marina right? Or should the Coast Guard probably keep searching...? We've got your prescription: it's our podcast on "Non-Sexual Healing"!

December 07, 2020 MP S03.E04: Grand Delusions
Amanda is none too pleased to have her fugitive dad couch-surfing with her, particularly given that she was once at risk of catching a charge when he went on the lam in the first place. (Brittany seems to be getting pretty sick of him too, for different reasons.) But when Palmer tells Amanda that he's come back to town to tie up the last few loose ends that might still leave her in extra-legal danger -- and then he's going to turn himself in -- she agrees to aid and abet him for just a couple of days. What could possibly go wrong? Jane, apparently convinced that Sydney's two days in a mental institution cured whatever had ailed her before, is being extremely kind to her now that she's out, but Sydney's not trying to hear her advice that she stay away from Michael for all their sakes. Jane turns out to be right about Michael, though not for the reason she thinks. She also turns out not to have gotten any better at choosing partners, though the only one who knows that so far is Sydney, on the receiving end of Chris's creepitude. At D&D, Amanda assigns Alison and Billy to the same bridal gown account so that they can both bring all their personal crap to the project and annoy everyone around them; though Alison also makes time to give Jo disastrously terrible advice about Reed's parents' custody case, which Jo, for some reason, follows. We hope you will follow your better instincts and join us for our podcast on "Grand Delusions"!

November 30, 2020 MP S03.E03: In-Laws And Outlaws
While doing her best, by day, to convince officials at the mental hospital that she isn't insane and that her claims about Kimberly's guilt in Michael's attempted murder should be taken seriously, Sydney uses a brief moment of unattended time at night to call Matt and beg him to look into Kimberly. And he does! While Jane is at the beach house having Michael sign papers for Chris's deal -- and causing him to remember some of their good times, in the process, to Kimberly's chagrin -- Matt's inside looking for evidence that something's up with Kimberly, which he finds in the form of her backup wig in the bathroom. Will it be enough?! Alison gets back from Wisconsin to find out that...the dude she left at the altar is now working one cubicle away from her. Amanda's forcing them to work together seems calculated to ensure that they will be reminded of what kept them from eloping in the first place. And as the contours of Brittany and Palmer's scheme against Jake reveal themselves, Jo gets an unwelcome visit from two people she never expected to meet: Reed's parents. Saddle up for our podcast on "In-Laws And Outlaws"!

November 23, 2020 MP S03.E02: It’s A Bad World After All
With a new detective working on Michael's case, it would probably behoove Sydney to have legal representation other than a public defender, which is why it's a good thing Mr. Andrews (Ken Howard!) has come to town to help the cause. It's less good -- for Sydney, anyway -- that he doesn't really believe her protestations of innocence and is urging her to work with the DA to get her charges reduced. Then he lands on a whole different plan to keep her out of jail that she might like even less. Kimberly seems to have convinced Chambers, the new detective, that she's a completely credible doctor and Sydney is an unstable wacko who tried to use her for an alibi; she's also feeding Michael confusing stories about his past and letting Matt know she would prefer it if he didn't try to stop by and see Michael when she's not there. Alison apparently did convince Meredith -- in another one of those fraught emotional conversations that inconveniently happened offscreen -- to join her in pursuing legal action, which both are doing in Wisconsin despite Meredith's extreme nerves and Mrs. Parker's attempts to interfere. Back in Los Angeles, Amanda convinces Billy to help her with a pitch to get Escapade -- still, somehow, his employer -- to hire D&D as its new ad agency. Does Billy understand the unethical breaches Amanda has led him to commit? Unclear! Brittany is still on Jake's boat, and still horny as hell. But there actually is a reason for both those things. There's so much that we share that it's time you're aware we have a new podcast all about "It's A Bad World After All"!

November 16, 2020 MP S03.E01: I Am Curious, Melrose
When Meredith goes out to pick up dinner and also take a break from Alison haranguing her to process her abusive childhood the way Alison (who only became fully conscious of her own about three days ago) thinks she should, Mr. Parker sneaks into the house, accosts Alison, and starts trying to talk her into returning to Billy so that she can keep up appearances for the sake of the family, as she's always done in the past. Little does he know that Meredith has a gun! And Billy is also there, suddenly, to help, kind of! In the aftermath, Alison wants to talk about pressing charges against Mr. Parker, but Meredith just wants to cut ties, again, and put this unpleasantness behind them. Once they're back in L.A., Billy eventually tells Alison he thinks Meredith is right. But does Alison? Kimberly rushes to Michael's bedside straight from having spent several hours all alone at the USC library, just in time for him to go in for emergency surgery on his cerebral swelling! Sydney gets home to find the complex swarming with cops and realizes Kimberly has followed through on one of her many murder plots -- and that this one implicated Jane! But when she goes to talk to Jane in jail, she finds out Jane suspects Sydney did it! ...Which she might have, if Kimberly hadn't realized Sydney was too skittish and proceeded without her. Anyway, Sydney doesn't have an alibi, Michael doesn't have any memory of his life before waking up after surgery, and Jane doesn't have any reason NOT to throw suspicion on Sydney. Jake pulls an "I choose me" on Amanda and Jo, swearing off relationships, only to get entangled IMMEDIATELY with Brittany (Kathy Ireland!) (?), a woman fleeing a rich, powerful, abusive husband with lots of sketchy connections. We hope we anticipate all possible questions you may have about "I Am Curious (Melrose)" in our latest podcast!
