March 23, 2020 MP S01.E31: State Of Need
Now that they've MADE LOVE, everything is going so great for Billy and Alison -- other than her need to talk their relationship to death, that is. It's just terrible, awful timing that the couple has barely had time to shower each other's stink off when Amanda informs Billy that she's missed her period and, according to a home test, she's pregnant. Instead of waiting for a doctor's confirmation, Billy blurts this news at Alison, who immediately starts spinning out. Billy doesn't have very much more chill, and basically forces a disgusted Amanda to tell him she doesn't expect anything from him, possibly because she doesn't trust his ability to so much as hold a baby without dropping it. Jane having kicked him out, Michael is full of regret and desperate for her to forgive him, even telling Kimberly he wants to break things off with her so that he and Jane can reconcile, and then begging Alison to broker a meeting between him and Jane. Reluctantly, Jane agrees to counseling, and to letting him back into the apartment (though only on the couch), though when he gets beeped to come in on a mass casualty at the hospital, she has to admit she still doesn't trust him AND AS WE KNOW, SHE PROBABLY SHOULDN'T. Jo is still hanging out with Karen the model, who invites Jo and Jake out dancing and hits on them both. Are they hip enough to consider opening up their relationship to a hot bisexual model? We discuss that and more in our podcast on "State Of Need"!

March 16, 2020 MP S01.E30: Carpe Diem
Alison and Billy may have both felt extremely awkward after their first kiss, but after each suffers a night of restless sleep, they agree that what they're mostly feeling now is horny. Billy's attempt at romance -- a jazz concert in the park (never the play, guys) -- is ruined by Alison's ongoing guilt over keeping the secret of Michael's affair from Jane; when Billy suggests that she's using said secret as a pretext to delay sex with Billy, she delays sex with Billy. But she's willing to try another date the following night, which is why it's too bad that Lucy extends to her a last-minute invitation to an executive retreat in Palm Springs, so that she and Amanda can try to work on their relationship outside the office. On her way out of town, she runs into Jane -- returning early from her second-anniversary dinner with Michael, because he contrived to have Kimberly beep him during dessert so he could leave and spend the night fucking her instead -- and finally spills what she knows. Jane doesn't want to believe it, and when she directly confronts Michael, she makes him think she buys his explanation for what Alison thought she saw, but while Michael may have a sociopath's confidence, he may have underestimated Jane's street smarts. Jo has fallen in with a fast crowd of fashion models Jake doesn't approve of -- they SMOKE!!! -- but is he troubled by the way Jo changes her manner when she's around them, or threatened by her career as it's starting to take off? We discuss it all in our podcast on "Carpe Diem"!

March 09, 2020 MP S01.E29: Pas de Trois
Since Amanda still hasn't figured out that Billy is not worth the effort she's putting into acquiring him, she's fighting a battle on two fronts: continuing to contact him via phone, and shoehorning him into conversations at work. When both Amanda and Alison are invited to Lucy's engagement party, Alison doesn't consider that she's in a primetime soap and bring Matt as her platonic date, instead bringing Billy along, so when Amanda gets Billy first onto the dance floor and then into a gazebo, where Alison walks up on them kissing, Alison really has no one to blame but herself. All of this is happening at a time when Alison's faith in men's good judgment, sex-wise, is low anyway, since she happens to have just spotted Michael and Kimberly kissing at the hospital. Is it true that, as Billy claims, he's a better-quality dude than Michael? Or when Amanda calls him and leaves a (possibly) tearful message asking him over, will he be able to resist her seductive moves and satin robes? Elsewhere, Jake is once again second-guessing Jo's aptitude for business -- this time, doubting her math on the shop's tax return when it shows him owing more than $8000. We discuss all the scandal AND cipherin' in our podcast on "Pas de Trois"!

March 02, 2020 MP S01.E28: Pushing Boundaries
Amanda, against all reason, has continued trying to reach out to Billy and, rightly suspecting the reason he's not answering her messages is because Alison isn't giving them to him, forces the issue with a little light stalking. Thus Alison, who's already eating Amanda's shit at work as she tries to regain the stature she enjoyed pre-Seattle, also has to eat shit for interfering in Billy and Amanda's friendship. But Billy has more pressing matters to deal with -- specifically, his boss Nancy pressing herself up against him. Instead of firing Billy after Cameron narcs on him for not having gone to Columbia at all, Nancy gives Billy a "second chance" in the form of a promotion to staff writer, and is so hot for Billy that she comes on to him in a glass-walled conference room where Alison sees the whole thing. Billy doesn't want to believe that his rise is due to his butt, until Nancy makes her intentions impossible to ignore. Speaking of people crossing lines: Kimberly confesses her feelings for Michael, and then flees, thinking nothing can come of them because he's married. Is she correct? (Spoiler: no.) And Matt meets a cute guy at Shooters and they go on a date! Too bad he's an aspiring one-percenter with no personal ethics in his career or, apparently, life. We discuss it all in our podcast on "Pushing Boundaries"!

February 24, 2020 MP S01.E27: The Test
Things are going great for Jake and Jo, which means it's time for his past to come back to haunt them again. Specifically, Jake's ex Perry -- the cocaine user who, when we last saw her, was scamming rich art collectors -- is out of rehab for heroin addiction. She lets Jake know that she now has AIDS, and that as her former partner, he should get tested. Jake resists the notion that a man who only sleeps with women -- even one who doesn't use condoms 100% of the time -- might be at risk for an STI. But eventually he does see reason (thanks to a sensible conversation with Matt), tells Jo what's going on, and arranges for them both to get tested. Alison slinks back to D&D to try to get her job back. Lucy is gracious enough not to remind her that she'd told Alison that the job would be gone as soon as Alison took off for Seattle, but does say that the hiring decision is now Amanda's. Lucy gets Amanda to agree to put Alison in the mix, and gives Alison her old receptionist job back, and Amanda gets straight to work making Alison eat shit. Meanwhile, Billy decides to advance his career by fabricating a résumé (and implicating Alison to be his fraudulent reference from his made-up copywriting job at D&D). He successfully talks his way into an editorial assistant job at a magazine called Escapades, though it seems like the Managing Editor Nancy might be less interested in his old columns from that dead free weekly than she is in Billy's ass. We talk about it all in our podcast on "The Test"!

February 17, 2020 MP S01.E26: End Game
Billy is just starting to get used to the idea of life without Alison -- and even entertaining the idea of renting her old room out to Kimberly, particularly if it means she'll move all her furniture in with her -- when he gets the news that his father has suffered a massive heart attack; alas, Mr. Campbell never regains consciousness, and passes away. Billy, for some reason, decides the best way to honour his father's memory is to start running the furniture store (as he never wanted to do when his father was alive); he also rebuffs attempts by everyone in his life to help him grieve...that is, until Alison comes back from Seattle to comfort him. Meanwhile, Kimberly decides she doesn't want to room with Billy, but that she would like Michael to come over and fix her kitchen sink. That's not a euphemism, though when he's done, she makes it pretty clear that she wouldn't mind him taking a closer look at her plumbing. Elsewhere, Carrie is still trying to make moves on Terrance (via lilac paint and floral-print wallpaper, which seems like the long way around, but okay), and Rhonda's still not happy about it. We discuss it all in our podcast on "End Game"!
