Ranking the top 5 moments from “Younger” season 6 episode 5: “Let the Games Begin”

Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching TV Land’s Younger season 6 episode 5, I realized that healthy competition is not necessarily a bad thing, but when it comes to blurring the lines between your personal and professional life, things can get a bit complicated. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “Stiff Competition,” Liza and Charles continue to compete over authors, which begins to put a strain on their relationship. Meanwhile, Kelsey and Diana attempt to channel their rage, and Lauren puts her publicist skills to the test with Josh’s daughter. My top 5 moments from Younger season 6 episode 5 are:

“Feisty isn’t the F word I would use…”

In this episode, the competition between Charliza initially seems kind of fun and spicy, but this mood quickly changes when the competition gets real. Liza and Charles are both very convincing and are up for the challenge, but winning isn’t always everything…especially if it gets in the way of our favorite ship on the show!

“Charles is hot and I’m not.”

Poor Kelsey. After losing some of her hair in last week’s episode, she is now placed toward the bottom of a hot in publishing list, as Charles is climbing up to the top. Charles does look quite dashing in his picture and they somehow decided to just use a cropped photo of Kelsey’s head, which makes her a “floating tragedy,” according to Diana. Kelsey has had enough and is not ready to hand over her authors to Charles, but this is definitely not helping her ease her stress.

“We have a lot of rage.”

Liza tries to maintain a positive spin on everything, realizing that she is constantly in the middle here and decides to have Kelsey and Diana accompany her to watch a talented young musician, who she has been in contact with for months about her book. It looks like things are going well, but Charles is there and we find out that he is the one that provided the girl with her scholarship, so it initially looks like our ladies are out of luck here.

Kelsey and Diana are over it and try to channel some of their rage by throwing axes, but things get interesting when the restroom is out of order and Diana has to pee. As luck would have it, a police officer catches Diana urinating outside and Kelsey is still holding on to the ax. They hilariously end up in jail, but luckily Enzo is there to bail them out. I love when Kelsey and Diana team up. These two are so funny and I hope we get some more screen time with them together soon!

“Gemma is following me on Insta…”

Lauren may have just found her golden ticket, as she starts an Instagram page for Josh’s baby daughter, Gemma. @GemmaLoves already has 5000 followers in a day and everyone seems to be a fan. Josh is initially skeptical about exploiting his daughter, but is ultimately on board when he realizes some of the perks. Plus, it’s kind of fun! Lauren and Josh take some absolutely adorable pictures of Gemma and I am a fan for sure. I thought this was really cute and it gave us some much needed screen time with fan favorite Lauren, so that’s always a plus!

“If it’s all you, then there’s no room for us.”

Even though Charles is proving to be a tough competitor, he does confide in Liza about the possibility of losing his investment, explaining that he is essentially gambling it all for this risk. Liza understands and she doesn’t want anyone to lose, but even Kelsey tells her that she will need to choose a side. Later on, Charles congratulates Liza on winning over the author, but reminds her that he is essentially still winning since it is his father’s company, which doesn’t sit too well with Liza.

When Charles comes over, he also seems surprised to see Liza with Josh and his baby and asks her if he is competing with him. I don’t question Liza’s feelings or loyalty to Charles, but she ultimately walks away from him after reminding him that “if it’s all you, then there’s no room for us.” This is definitely not the end for Charliza, but it looks like Liza will need to decide what to do since she is essentially still in the middle here. What will she decide? Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Younger” season 6 episode 4: “BDE”

Happy Friday TV fans! After watching TV Land’s Younger season 6 episode 4, I realized that “if you’re looking for trouble, you’re probably gonna find it,” but what happens when it’s finally all out in the open? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In Wednesday night’s episode, “An Inside Glob,” Kelsey’s stress begins to catch up with her, which causes her to get creative with some of her fashion choices. Meanwhile, Maggie tries out an interesting home remedy, Josh bonds with his daughter, and Liza confronts Charles. My top 5 moments from Younger season 6 episode 4 are:

“Money isn’t everything.”

In this episode, Kelsey decides to track down Zane at his new office and discovers that Mercury is based out of a community workplace. Zane doesn’t seem to mind, but Kelsey wants to know where he is getting his funding from. Zane reminds Kelsey that money isn’t everything and sometimes “it’s about charm,” but Kelsey doesn’t find this very cute at all. Watch out, Zane!

“I don’t have that energy!”

Kelsey confides in Lauren about her stress over work and Lauren suggests she starts casually dating again. She hilariously changes Kelsey’s work title on her dating app to “Creative Director,” so that Kelsey will seem more approachable, explaining that Kelsey has “BDE,” which apparently stands for big dick energy. Kelsey seems excited for a new potential romance and decides to get her hair done for the occasion, but is in for a huge surprise, when she finds out that she is losing clumps of her hair and perhaps her BDE is really “Bald Dude Energy.” Poor Kelsey.

“I really wanna be in her life full time.”

Meanwhile, Josh gets some quality time with his daughter when Clare has to work on a project. Josh is absolutely adorable with his baby and even puts her in a baby carrier at work…although I’m not sure that the tattoo parlor is the best place for her, but Josh assures Clare that the buzzing actually puts her right to sleep. Josh realizes that he wants to spend more time with his daughter and hopes that their upcoming divorce does not get in the way. He asks Clare if they can do this parenting thing together and she agrees. I’m just hoping this all works out for Josh because he seems so happy.

“Is there something you’re not telling me?”

Liza takes a minute to confront Charles privately and asks him if he is the money behind Mercury. Charles comes clean with Liza and explains that he never wanted to give up publishing and was just trying to find the right moment to tell her. Liza seems somewhat understanding after Charles explains that he wants something just for him, as he was always previously working for his father’s company, but asks Liza to keep this between them for now. However, this puts Liza in an awkward position, as she will have to keep this information from Kelsey. It’s only a matter of time before the cat is out of the bag.

“My hair is falling out because of you!”

Well at least we don’t have to wait that long, as Kelsey decides to go see the author who initially turned her down at her lunch meeting with Zane. Liza tries to intervene, but it’s too late, as Charles and Zane walk in the door and everything is now finally out in the open. Kelsey is outraged by this and feels betrayed, screaming that her hair is falling out because of them. Unfortunately, that starts trending on social media, which is not the best look for Kelsey, but at least the author decides to stay with her. After all, Kelsey did fight for her and is extremely motivated and capable. However, we now discover that Charles has resigned from the board, which makes him their official competition.

It looks like things are only going to get more complicated now. Competition may be healthy, but Kelsey is taking everything personally and I don’t really blame her. We’ll have to wait and see how this all unfolds. Stay tuned!

I hope you enjoyed the list and feel free to post your own theories and thoughts on Younger below in the comments section. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Younger” season 6 episode 3: “We Will Just Have to Eat It”

Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching TV Land’s Younger season 6 episode 3, I realized that integrity is important, but sometimes it’s not as simple as clearing your name. So do you “eat it,” as Kelsey so eloquently put it, or do you find another way to spin the scam? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “The Unusual Suspect,” Quinn’s book is making its way up the best seller list, but there is something fishy going on. Meanwhile, Maggie finds a potential new romance, Josh adjusts to fatherhood, and Liza and Charles spice things up with an interesting role play. My top 5 moments from Younger season 6 episode 3 are:

“I haven’t been able to look at her since the incident.”

In this episode, Maggie gets some well deserved screen time and has clearly been traumatized after helping Clare while she was in labor. Lauren tries to help Maggie get through this and brings her to some kind of therapy group for this very thing, but it looks like this was the right call, as Maggie meets a new potential romantic interest named Beth. Beth informs Maggie that she “also teaches privates” and it looks like Maggie is ready to take her up on this offer. We’ll have to see how this new romance unfolds, but I’m happy for Maggie.

“I guess I need to listen to episode 7.”

Everyone is obsessed over the trending podcast, Exonerated, as Liza and Kelsey prepare to meet with Audrey Colbert, played by the wonderful Willa Fitzgerald for all of you Scream fans out there! Audrey is definitely a little off and is pitching her book to Millennial, but she needs to be convinced that Liza and Kelsey believe that she is innocent of murder.

Liza and Charles also spice things up, as they act out different scenarios in the podcast, leading to some interesting role plays, but I’m always happy to see an episode that features some Charliza time. Still swooning over this! Liza actually plays the femme fatale very well, so Charles better look out when it comes to his new business deal!

“Clare…will you…?

So I’ll admit it, when I first saw the preview for episode 3, I thought Josh was going to propose to Clare and I didn’t like it at all! I’m glad this did not happen, as Josh realizes that they are not right for each other. I think it’s so amazing that they are going to raise their baby together, but Josh realizes that they need to keep the romance out of it, which is the right call in my opinion.

Josh gets down on one knee and says, “Clare…will you divorce me?” It looks like Clare is on board, but what does this mean for Josh’s romantic life? We know that there are still feelings floating around for Liza, but will he continue to pursue this or is there someone else catching his eye?

“You and Zane…again?!”

I mean, it’s not like I mind Kelsey and Zane getting together again, as I absolutely adore these two together! Kelsey bumps into Zane at the liquor store and thinks that he is pretending about having a new job. Zane continues to turn on the charisma and invites Kelsey to help him drink the bottle he just bought. It looks like things are definitely on again for this couple, but Zane is about to shake things up when Kelsey finds out about his actual new job. Drama!

“A messy bitch who lives for drama.”

That’s our girl Kelsey and we adore her for it! After Quinn’s book continues to climb on the best seller list, Kelsey discovers that Quinn bought her books in bulk, which resulted in a dagger next to her name at number one. It’s a scam and Kelsey is not ready to take the fall for this. Kelsey initially thinks about coming clean and placing the blame on Quinn, but Liza gives her some great advice and reminds her that she is their investor and she can’t throw an author under the bus.

Kelsey proves to be someone you do not want to mess with when she is asked about the bulk sales during an interview. With perfect poise, she explains that the books were bought for speaking events and decides to announce Quinn’s intent to run for senate earlier than Quinn had intended. Quinn is clearly not pleased with this, but no one puts our girl Kelsey in a corner!

Things are looking up, but Kelsey soon discovers that Audrey is actually going to go with a new publishing company named Mercury. We learn that Zane is the editor, but they start to wonder about where he got all that money, as a light bulb goes off in Liza’s head, realizing Charles’s connection to all of this. I can’t wait to see what happens next here! Stay tuned! New episodes return July 10^th!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Younger” season 6 episode 2: “Baller Move”

Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching TV Land’s Younger season 6 episode 2, I realized that sometimes “life gives you more than you thought,” but what if it doesn’t turn out exactly how you planned? Do you continue searching for that possibility or do you settle? Maybe it’s not settling at all, but accepting and understanding the love that’s been there in front of you the whole time. But nothing is ever that simple on our favorite show. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “Flush With Love,” Liza and Kelsey attempt to approach Quinn about pushing back her book. Meanwhile, Zane decides to shake things up with Kelsey and Josh tries to prepare for fatherhood. My top 5 moments from Younger season 6 episode 2 are:

“Guess who wrote a masterpiece…it will be our first release!”

In episode 2, Kelsey is still adjusting to her demanding role as publisher, but quickly realizes that she has a new dilemma on her hands, when a focus group reacts strongly to Quinn’s book, Claw, and not in a good way. The group has some strong reactions, including one reader who hilariously asks if it is possible to unread something. Kelsey knows that it will not be easy to simply push back Quinn’s book release since she is her boss, but she worries about having a huge flop on her hands.

Kelsey and Liza team up to try and approach Quinn, but Quinn doesn’t want to hear it and decides to break out into a loud and obnoxious cheer at lunch to get everyone on board. Kelsey desperately wants to do the right thing here, but is she out of her depth?

“I don’t want to be friends with you anymore.”

I’m so glad I didn’t have to wait too much longer for a swoon-worthy moment between Kelsey and Zane since I ship them oh so much! Zane approaches Kelsey and tells her that he doesn’t want to be friends anymore. Kelsey realizes that he must have gotten a job, but Charles and Zane still have not revealed their big announcement just yet and I’m anxious to hear it.

However, Kelsey and Zane do share a passionate kiss so it looks like things are looking up for these two, but will Kelsey feel the same way once she finds out what the job is? We have to assume that Zane will end up being Kelsey’s competition, but I really hope it doesn’t get in the way of their relationship because these two are end game for me.

“This kid is so lucky to have you as a dad.”

Liza and Josh continue to share some sweet moments together, when Liza helps Josh out with some baby shopping. Liza has a lot of experience with being a mother and she helps Josh filter through the list so that he doesn’t panic so much. Liza tells Josh that he is going to be a great dad and I have to agree, but it looks like Josh doesn’t have much time to prepare when Clare’s water breaks at the reveal party, causing her to begin going into labor in the back of an Uber.

Clare and Josh have a healthy baby girl, but Liza watches Josh with his newborn with an interesting look on her face. It’s clear that Liza is beyond happy for Josh, but is she now having second thoughts about letting him go? I’m Team Charles all the way, but there have still been some lingering feelings floating over to Team Josh, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out, although it looks like Josh may be looking to get a second chance with Clare. We’ll have to wait and see!

“Put it in writing…baller move.”

After Kelsey comes up with a plan to back one of Reese’s books before Quinn’s, she starts to have second thoughts, especially when Charles puts his two cents in. Liza promises that she will no longer keep Charles in the loop, recognizing that it is putting a potential strain on her working relationship with Kelsey. Kelsey decides to channel her inner baller and meets with Quinn again. She strikes up a deal with her: she will release Quinn’s book first and if it’s a flop, Quinn promises she will walk away.

Kelsey doesn’t take any chances here and tells Quinn to put it in writing, but is she making the right call? Can we really trust Quinn to keep her word? Either way, I was very proud of Kelsey here in this moment because it’s not always easy standing your ground, but she does it so well!

“Did you mean this?”

Even though Liza, Kelsey, and Josh are all dealing with a lot of drama, Diana gets her moment in the spotlight as well. Diana and Enzo have an argument after Diana talks about how she used to always think she would end up with Charles. I know that Diana always speaks her mind, but maybe she should remember that some things can come out in a hurtful way, as she ends up driving Enzo away, who thinks that she is merely settling with him.

Enzo deserves better and he’s right, but luckily Diana realizes it before it’s too late. Diana has her story, “Flush With Love,” published in the newspaper, talking about her modern day romance with Enzo, but she also explains how it is important to dream about the man next to you, rather than focusing on the “man of your dreams.” Enzo asks Diana if she means it and the two have a sweet moment together.

I’m so glad that Diana realized that she has the real thing with Enzo because these two are absolutely adorable and I can’t bear to see them apart! There seems to be a lot of love in the air so far in season 6, but we know that drama is never too far away. Who will crack first? Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Younger” season 6 episode 1 season premiere: “Timing”

Happy Thursday TV fans! The wait is over and your favorite summer show is back! After watching TV Land’s Younger season 6 episode 1 season premiere, I realized that timing is everything. You may think you have everything figured out, but sometimes things go in another direction. So do you stay on the path you are on or do you take a risk and try something new? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “Big Day,” Liza and Charles adjust to life together after Charles’s huge decision, but are they ready to take the next step in their relationship? Meanwhile, Kelsey embraces her role as the boss, Josh finds out if he is the father of Clare’s baby, and Zane continues to charm us with his mysterious new job possibility. My top 5 moments from the Younger season 6 episode 1 season premiere are:

“It’s harder than I thought.”

Change is in the air, but our girl Kelsey is ready to take on her new position. Kelsey is beyond excited about being the new publisher, but she quickly realizes that there is a lot that comes with the job. Kelsey has had to trade in her passion for books for forecasts and spreadsheets and we learn that the company is not doing that great, which puts a tremendous amount of pressure on Kelsey.

That being said, Kelsey is strong and intelligent and I think she will make a fantastic publisher, but this is not going to be easy for her. I’m ready to go on the adventure with her and it will be interesting to see how the dynamic shifts at the office now.

“Are we friends?”

I am so beyond excited that Zane is back this season, as things were kind of left up in the air after he left Empirical last season. I have been shipping him and Kelsey for quite some time now, but Zane seems like he wants to keep their relationship professional for now, even after Kelsey makes a few hints at some possibilities for them. We know that Zane is charming and strategic when it comes to business, but what is his next move with Charles? I’m very interested to find out, but will this put a further strain on his possible relationship with Kelsey? We’ll have to wait and see!

“Don’t encourage them!”

The drama is far from over at Millennial when Kelsey learns that an article is about to be leaked about Charles having an affair with a 28-year-old employee. Even though we all know this is Liza, it looks like everything is pointing in Kelsey’s direction, which could be quite scandalous for her recent promotion. Liza finally comes clean and decides to announce to the entire office that she is the one having a relationship with Charles.

Diana is shocked and clearly hurt by this announcement and begins to look elsewhere for employment opportunities, but it looks like Diana just truly needed some appreciation. Liza and Kelsey track her down at her favorite singing bar, “Marie’s Crisis Café” and put on a show stopping performance to “9 to 5,” which was so much fun and hilarious to watch. I love this trio right now and I’m happy that Diana ultimately had a change of heart. We need her!

“I know you’re busy but…”

Josh has a lot on his plate when his former wife, Clare, shows up heavily pregnant. She tells Josh that the baby is his, but Maggie suggests a paternity test to confirm everything. The results are in and Josh…you are the father! Josh is freaking out, but he has a heart-to-heart talk with Liza, who promises to be there every step of the way to support him. Only it seems like Josh still has some lingering feelings, as he talks to Liza about timing and how she is now with someone else. Even though I’m feeling Charliza, Team Josh is always in the back of my mind as well. I mean, we need some kind of drama for our girl Liza, even though she is pretty much floating on a cloud with Charles right now.

“When I’m with her, I feel free.”

Team Charles and Charliza fans rejoice! We get some super sweet moments for our favorite couple in the season premiere. Charles even goes out of his way to surprise Liza with a new bed, which I have to say was absolutely swoon-worthy! Charles is adjusting to life outside of Empirical and he definitely has a lot to figure out, but it looks like he won’t have too much free time for long, as he is working on something with Zane.

Liza ends up saying “I love you” to Charles and runs away before he can respond, but Charles is ready to take the next step with Liza and ends up saying it back to her later in the episode. I mean, after all, he has had feelings for her for 16 years now with her recent age reveal! I can’t wait to see what’s next for Liza and Charles, but it looks like her loyalties may be tested later on when it comes to choosing him or Kelsey. I can’t wait to see how this unfolds and I’m so happy this show has returned! Stay tuned!

I hope you enjoyed the list and feel free to post your own theories and thoughts on Younger below in the comments section. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Younger” season 5 episode 12 Season Finale: “I Think There’s Another Way”

Happy Wednesday TV fans! After watching TV Land’s Younger season 5 episode 12 season finale, I realized that Charles got it absolutely right when he said that “you can’t make an omelette without breaking some eggs.” This basically means that it’s difficult to achieve something truly significant without causing some unpleasant effects along the way. But is it worth it in the end? We’ll have to stay tuned to find out, but it looks like some of our characters may be paving the way for their very own happy ending. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “Lizability,” Liza takes the next steps to accept Cheryl’s offer, but starts to have second thoughts when she hears what is going on at Empirical. Meanwhile, Kelsey learns the truth about Zane’s actions, Josh goes on a spiritual journey with Lauren’s help to find out if he is ready for fatherhood, and Diana has second thoughts about her relationship with Enzo. My top 5 moments from Younger season 5 episode 12 season finale are:

“It’s not going to end well.”

In the beginning of the episode, Liza takes a tour with Cheryl at her potential new place of work and discovers that she would be running her own imprint called “Chick(y).” Don’t forget the “y” in parentheses, which symbolizes that they are not entirely excluding the male gender. While the name of the imprint leaves something to be desired, Liza starts to see all of the benefits of leaving her current job, especially when she sees the salary offer. While it would be great for Liza to start over and not have to lie anymore, things get a little more complicated when she finds out that Quinn is planning on investing in Empirical, but making Millennial the primary focus, which would be a huge opportunity for both Kelsey and Liza. Liza tries to warn Kelsey and Charles that she is a liability and a “ticking time bomb,” but it’s clear that she is having second thoughts about leaving as well.

“I told you it was dangerous.”

Everything has been going somewhat smoothly between Diana and Enzo, but Enzo gets upset when Diana laughs at his new opportunity, which involves working on a “Fatberg,” which is basically a huge lump of sewage. Sure it sounds absolutely disgusting, but Enzo is clearly very excited about his new opportunity and is hurt when Diana makes light of it. Diana confides in Liza about the argument and points out that “two things I am not are 1: sweet and 2: compatible with a plumber.” While Diana may have a point, Liza reminds her about what’s more important when she says, “who cares what he does if the feelings are there?” Later in the episode, it is broadcasted on the news that Enzo is trapped while working on the “fatberg” and Diana leaves everything to be there. When Enzo is finally retrieved, Diana rushes over to him to embrace him and is finally all in…sewage and all. While Enzo definitely needs a shower at this point, Diana proves that she wants to be with Enzo just as he is, which is a huge step for her.

“Because I was in love with you.”

Kelsey is shocked to find out that Jake doesn’t want her in Washington D.C. at his party and Charles explains the reasoning. After Kelsey admits to having a “moment” with Jake, Charles points out that Zane was the one who refused to take over the book. Kelsey later confronts Zane about this, asking him why he would do this, not believing that it was just because he didn’t want his name on a book he didn’t edit. The truth finally comes out when Zane admits that it was “because I was in love with you,” completely shocking Kelsey. While Kelsey does not reveal her feelings to Zane just yet, things are about to change even further when Zane quits. Kelsey rushes toward him in the elevator and realizes that he already has a new job offer, explaining that he could never work for Kelsey. With Zane’s departure, is this the end of the blossoming relationship between him and Kelsey? Will Kelsey finally be able to tell Zane how she truly feels? We’ll have to stay tuned for next season, but I really hope that these two can finally get the chance to be together.

“Did you get your answer?”

Maggie approaches Josh about considering Malky’s offer about using his sperm for the baby, even though she is not ready to be a parent yet. Josh actually really considers it and in a sweet moment, he tells Maggie that he would have done it for her. Josh enlists the help of Lauren to find out if he is ready for this and she pulls out all the stops by creating a ritual for him to meditate and call on “Mother Cacao.” In a dream, Josh sees himself with a baby, but he has Liza right by his side. While we don’t know if a relationship is in the cards yet for Liza and Josh, this helps Josh realize that he wants to raise his own child and he would not be able to go through with what Malky is asking. However, it’s clear that “Mother Cacao” has other plans when Josh’s ex, Claire, shows up at his door…extremely pregnant. Perhaps Josh will get the chance to try out fatherhood after all, but why did Claire wait so long to tell him? We’ll have to wait and see what happens next, but I have so many questions already.

“I’m happy.”

Liza is still not sure what to do yet and she ends up telling Quinn about her real age and the lie. Liza ultimately turns down Cheryl’s offer, hoping she made the right decision. Quinn is confident that she can spin Liza’s age to her advantage, but Cheryl threatens to leak a photo of Liza and Charles and Quinn recognizes that she can’t afford the liability of a scandalous affair like this. Charles thinks that there is another way and announces that Kelsey will be the new publisher and that he will be the chairman of the board. While this is presented as a promotion, Liza learns from Diana that this basically means that they are putting Charles “out to pasture.” Liza confronts Charles about his decision, understanding that this company was his life. Charles explains that, “Maybe it’s time for a new one…with you.” The freedom would give Charles the chance to explore a real relationship with Liza and he would have more time for his kids as well. Even though his father’s company is important to him, he did help ultimately save it and is ready for the next chapter of his life. First chapter: holding hands with Liza in public. The two share a sweet kiss and Liza confidently takes Charles’s hand, as the fantasy has now truly become a reality. It’s about time! Team Charles fans rejoice!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Younger” season 5 episode 11: “There Has To Be Another Way”

Happy Wednesday TV fans! After watching TV Land’s Younger season 5 episode 11, I realized that sometimes we need to recognize a way out of a fantasy before it is too late and reality strikes. We may want to hold on to it for just a little while longer, but we need to accept when we have come to the end of the road…even if it is a “beautiful, beautiful road.” Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “Fraudlein,” Millennial and Empirical Press head to Frankfurt, Germany and are in for some unexpected surprises. Meanwhile, Liza tries to stick to her decision about Charles, Kelsey realizes she may have misjudged Zane, and Diana steals the spotlight. My top 5 moments from Younger season 5 episode 11 are:

“Do you know how much sperm costs?”

While everyone else is off in Frankfurt, Maggie and Malky host a dinner for Josh and Lauren to make up for the disaster last time, but the drama is far from over when Malky explains that she is ready to have a child, blind sighting Maggie. Malky starts talking to Josh about potentially using his sperm for the child and Maggie is not ready yet for this conversation. While it seemed like Maggie and Malky were off to a good start, there is clearly a lot they need to discuss since they are both not on the same page.

“That is a Frankfurt freebie.”

When everyone goes out for drinks in Frankfurt, Diana and Cheryl Sussman steal the show when they appear on stage and give us a delightful cabaret performance. Everyone is thoroughly entertained until Cheryl takes it a step too far and gives Charles a “Frankfurt freebie.” Poor Charles makes the innocent mistake of asking Cheryl what that is, as she plants a big kiss on his lips, causing him to leave the party. While I felt bad for Charles, this moment was absolutely hilarious and I have to say that Diana and Cheryl make quite the team.

“I might have misjudged Zane.”

While everyone is out, Kelsey has a little bit too much to drink and a stranger begins coming on to her a little too strongly. Zane steps in to protect her and ends up punching the guy in the face and escorting Kelsey to bed. Zane proves to be a perfect gentlemen and Kelsey realizes that she might have completely misjudged him. It’s about time Kelsey! While Zane had good intentions, he later realizes that the man he punched in the face is his potential new client. Zane awkwardly apologizes to him, but it’s safe to say he may not be landing this new deal. Let’s hope that he can get the girl; however, as I have been anxiously waiting for him and Kelsey to realize that they are absolutely perfect for one another. Swoon!

“Consider yourself fired.”

While Charles respects Liza’s decision to put things on pause for the moment, they both find it extremely difficult to stick with this decision, especially when Liza shows up at Charles’s hotel room. Charles tells Liza, “I can’t promise I won’t try to kiss you,” and Liza passionately kisses him in the doorway. Earlier in the episode, Cheryl Sussman approached Liza about working for her at Plaza and reminded her that she would no longer need to lie about her age. Liza has been dodging bullets left and right with this lie and it’s only a matter of time before the truth comes crashing down on her, which would impact Charles and Kelsey too. Liza discusses it all with Charles and they both agree that it is for the best. Liza accepts the job offer, but can Liza really trust Cheryl? After all, she has now discovered the relationship between Liza and Charles. Will she use this information to her advantage? We’ll have to stay tuned to find out.

“We’ve come to the end of this road.”

Now that Liza has made the decision to take the job at Plaza, she fills Kelsey in on the plan. Kelsey is beyond crushed and tells Liza, “There has to be another way,” in the middle of tears. Liza and Kelsey hug, continuing to stick by each other’s side, but is this really the end for our favorite duo in publishing? We know that Liza and Kelsey have a beautiful and strong friendship, but will Millennial be able to survive without Liza? How will everyone else react to the news of Liza’s departure? Stay tuned for the season finale next week!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Younger” season 5 episode 10: “We Accept the Love We Think We Deserve”

Happy Wednesday TV fans! After watching TV Land’s Younger season 5 episode 10, I realized that it’s important to take our own advice. Sometimes it’s easier to reflect on what someone else might need or deserve, but what happens when we take a good hard look in the mirror? Can we truly apply that same advice to our own situation? It’s important to remember that the person staring back at us in the mirror deserves the same respect as anyone else. We just have to remember that we are worth it and we do deserve our very own chance at happiness. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “Girls on the Side,” Liza quickly realizes that her secret relationship with Charles is not ideal. Meanwhile, Josh opens up Inkburg 2.0, Diana meets Enzo’s entire family, and Caitlin introduces her mother to her new boyfriend. My top 5 moments from Younger season 5 episode 10 are:

“He is your father’s age.”

Liza is surprised and excited to run into her daughter, Caitlin, at Josh’s re-opening. When Caitlin introduces Liza to her new boyfriend, Liza is not thrilled. Caitlin’s new man is much older than her and also her former English professor at school. Liza tries to give him a chance and agrees to brunch with them and Josh tags along for moral support. Liza reminds Caitlin that he is her father’s age and Caitlin hilariously tells her mom that she checked and he is in fact younger than her dad. Liza doesn’t want to get in the way of Caitlin’s happiness, but she is very worried about this new relationship and how it will impact her daughter.

“I just want to acknowledge one person in particular. She inspired me to not give up so thank you Liza.”

Liza is very excited to attend the launch party for Josh’s grand opening of his new tattoo parlor. Kelsey had previously told her that he has been trying really hard to impress her, but Liza just wants to be there to show her support for him. When Josh gives a speech, he focuses entirely on Liza and thanks her for being there for him and never giving up on him. This moment is truly touching, but it makes it so much harder to shift gears toward Team Charles, especially when Josh wears his heart on his sleeve…of tattoos. Josh and Liza have had their fair share of ups and downs, but it’s nice to see him take a moment to acknowledge her here. But is there more to it beyond friendship? We’ll have to wait and see.

“I am too old to fight.”

In this episode, Diana is invited to dinner with Enzo’s entire family and she is beyond nervous. Enzo’s mother tells her to bring a dish and she enlists the help of Maggie to pull off something spectacular. When she arrives, Enzo’s mother is pleased with the dish, but this leads to Diana being forced to help her in the kitchen. Diana is a real trooper and tries to do her very best, but she has had enough when Enzo’s mother scolds her for not using the proper garnish on the Eel dish. Even though Diana has very strong feelings for Enzo, she is not about to go insane to impress his mother. Diana courageously stands up to Enzo’s mother after her harsh words and walks out. Enzo goes after her and tells her that he is going to move to an apartment in Manhattan, which shows that he is not ready to give up on Diana just yet. After all, he likes to be around strong women and Diana is absolutely worthy of this title. Arrivederci Enzo’s mom!

“You don’t even know what real is.”

It seems like Josh and Liza are getting along very well, but this takes a turn for the worst when Liza decides to confide in him about her relationship with Charles. Liza tells Josh that she is “trying to be more real,” but Josh tells her that a secret relationship can never be something real and that he was always so open with his feelings for her. While I was heartbroken for Josh in this moment, I was beyond upset when we see him going to get his dragon tattoo covered up or re-done, which is the tattoo he got for Liza. Is Josh really ready to permanently remove his attachment to Liza?

“Call me when it is.”

After Caitlin comes home upset after her boyfriend made her leave because they could be seen together by a colleague, Liza tells Caitlin all about the lie she has been living. Caitlin is doubtful at first, but is supportive of her mother. Liza tells Caitlin that she deserves to be with someone in an open and honest relationship and quickly realizes that she needs to apply this to her own situation with Charles. She asks Maggie, “What if Charles and I are just a fantasy?” Maggie hates seeing Liza resort to being someone’s side piece because she deserves so much more. At the end of the episode, Charles explains why they need to still keep their relationship a secret and that it’s not the right time yet. Liza courageously tells him to call her when it is, trying to accept the love that she does truly deserve, which is something more than this. While I was heartbroken to see a setback for Charles and Liza’s relationship, it’s important that Liza doesn’t lose her sense of self-worth along the way. I’m proud of you Liza! Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Younger” season 5 episode 9: “Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy”

Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching TV Land’s Younger season 5 episode 9, I remembered that there is no “I” in team. It may seem cliché, but after listening to the “Claw” book pitch, I started to really agree with Liza. You don’t have to sacrifice your own self-worth or ambition to help someone else, but it’s important to look out for those that matter most to us and to understand when compromise is necessary. Otherwise, it might be pretty lonely looking out for ourselves at the top. What’s truly important to you? Only you can answer that question, but I don’t think that there is anything wrong with knowing when to share the spotlight, especially when true friendship is involved. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “Honk if You’re Horny,” Liza and Charles continue their secret relationship, but realize that they have an audience lurking around every corner. Meanwhile, Lauren discovers a secret about Enzo and Kelsey crosses a line at work. My top 5 moments from Younger season 5 episode 9 are:

“I am really sorry to be wasting your time…sir.”

Charles and Liza continue to grow closer and they decide to grab dinner at a quiet place on the Upper East Side. Everything seems to be going well until they run into the agent, Redmond, at the restaurant. When Redmond asks what they are doing together, both Liza and Charles panic. Liza practically throws the manuscript that Kelsey passed on at Charles to come up with a believable cover story and Redmond thinks he has it all figured out now. Rather than think that Liza and Charles are there together romantically, he jumps to the conclusion that Liza wanted Charles to look at the manuscript Kelsey passed on because she believes in it. Things are about to get beyond complicated, as Liza and Charles realize that they aren’t safe yet in public. Will their secret affair blow up in their faces or will they be able to finally figure out a way to have a normal relationship?

“How long have you two been repairing things with each other?”

Kelsey is beyond angry when she learns that Charles approved a manuscript that she passed on, feeling like he went right over her head. When she vents to Liza about it, Liza has no choice but to come clean about what happened. Kelsey does not react well to the news about Liza and Charles and says that she has a big problem with this. It seems like Kelsey is always stuck in the web of Liza’s deception, which can damage her reputation and her career. However, she does need to also realize that Liza’s relationship with Charles is personal and she doesn’t have a right to get involved. Will Liza and Kelsey’s friendship be able to handle another lie?

“Thank you Diva.”

In this episode, Lauren really puts her publicist skills to good use, as she lands Kelsey an award at the Glamour Women of the Year event. She tries to branch out and represent Diana as well and gets to meet Enzo for the first time. Lauren thinks that he looks oddly familiar, but can’t quite place it there. She later discovers that Enzo was in the first porno she ever saw and shows the video to both Kelsey and Josh. Enzo lets out a very distinct honking noise when he climaxes, which Josh comments on when he hilariously says, “yo that was primal.” Lauren feels that she owes Diana the truth even though Kelsey is hesitant about this. Lauren approaches Diana and tells her about it, but also reveals that she has taken care of getting every copy off of the internet. She gives Diana the last copy and Diana is beyond grateful and thrilled. It looks like Lauren is getting a new client after all. When Diana confronts Enzo about it, he explains that he comes with baggage just like anyone else and Diana accepts him completely. I have to say that I was initially worried about what secret Enzo might be hiding from Diana, but it looks like these two are really the perfect match. Now hopefully she can win over his mother as well.

“Nothing worth having comes easy.”

At the end of the episode, Charles explains to Liza that no one else can know about their relationship. He is going through a divorce and there is a lot at stake for both of them professionally. Liza understands and agrees to keep their relationship a secret, but it seems like it will only be a matter of time before a new challenge is thrown their way. While I am happy to see Liza and Charles finally together, I am still waiting for them to get their true moment of happiness together. Will they finally be able to step out in the spotlight together or is this a secret romance destined for disaster?

“I choose you.”

Kelsey crosses a line when she confronts Charles about accepting the manuscript she passed on and wants him to also approve the one she liked. After explaining that there might not be enough in the budget for both pieces, Kelsey says, “What if I got Liza to ask you over dinner or after dinner?” While Kelsey is still clearly upset about what Liza told her, this is a threat that Charles does not take lightly. Kelsey needs to remember that Charles is her boss and she has no right to meddle in his affairs. Liza tells Kelsey how much she means to her and tells her that she chooses her over Charles, as she cannot handle the idea of losing her friendship. Even though Liza has gotten herself into this mess, she would never try to hurt Kelsey. When Kelsey accepts the award at the Glamour event, she looks over at Liza and realizes that she is right. Kelsey accepts the award on behalf of both of them and says that she would not be where she is today without Liza. I’m glad that Kelsey had a change of heart, as I can’t handle another fight between these two. While Kelsey makes up with Liza, Charles gently reminds Kelsey that she is not to pull another stunt like that again. However, I think that Kelsey’s discovery is only the beginning of the complicated mess between Charles and Liza. Will they be able to handle everything that comes their way? Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Younger” season 5 episode 8: “Can We Stay In Our Bubble Just For Tonight?”

Happy Wednesday TV fans! After watching TV Land’s Younger season 5 episode 8 last night, I found myself thinking of Liza’s advice when she says, “The good things only happen when we risk letting the bad stuff happen too.” We may want to keep our guard up or make decisions with our head rather than our heart, but sometimes we can miss out on something truly great if we do so. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “The Bubble,” Liza and Charles finally get a chance to explore their feelings for one another. Meanwhile, Kelsey tries to make the right decision, Lauren has a dinner party, and Diana struggles with keeping up with her cleanse. My top 5 moments from Younger season 5 episode 8 are:

“I need to press pause.”

Kelsey has clearly been stressed out in her personal and professional life and it doesn’t help that she has been stuck in the middle of a love triangle between her author and her co-worker. Kelsey finally makes the decision to choose herself, or at least a time out, when she tells Jake that she wants to cool things at least until after the book comes out. Kelsey is just being honest and tries to explain that she has made this mistake before and it seems like Jake is willing to accept this. However, Jake demonstrates his sneaky side once again and goes behind Kelsey’s back to approach Charles and suggest that his book be published by Empirical Press rather than Millennial. Jake’s actions prove that he is absolutely not the right match for Kelsey, but will the shadiness stop here? Something tells me it’s only the beginning. Watch out Kelsey!

“We all have issues.”

Lauren is excited to host a dinner party for her friends and plans on inviting a woman she recently met that she is very much interested in. Josh and Maggie show up and Maggie hilariously brings some food even though Lauren is cooking and reminds her, “You want to impress this girl right?” When the doorbell finally rings, Maggie is beyond shocked to learn that Lauren’s date is her ex-girlfriend, Malkie. Lauren’s cooking is not the only thing stirring in the pot, as the drama and tension between these two escalates. Malkie and Maggie clearly have unresolved feelings for one another, but Maggie leaves before they can completely rehash everything. After speaking to Liza, Maggie realizes that maybe she does need to let her wall down and give Malkie a chance. With the help of Josh, she paints a beautiful mural with Malkie’s portrait to surprise her and it looks like they are both ready to give their relationship another go and put in some work.

“This one is hers.”

In the beginning of the episode, Zane is still angry with Kelsey after being taken off of Jake’s book. Kelsey tries to talk it out with him, but Zane harshly tells her, “You screwed me and then you screwed me over.” Later on in the episode, Charles approaches Zane about shifting Jake’s book over to Empirical and Zane proves to be a knight in shining armor. He could easily take the credit here and grab this opportunity, but he tells Charles that Kelsey worked very hard on the book and Charles agrees to keep it at Millennial. Zane may be hurt and frustrated by Kelsey’s actions, but he refuses to stoop to the underhanded level that Jake has, proving once again to a good and honest man. Now let’s hope our girl Kelsey can realize this too. Men like Zane are hard to come by and I would hate to see these two miss out on an opportunity to be together.

“She might want revenge.”

Liza and Diana are meeting with Reese Witherspoon’s representative to discuss “Marriage Vacation,” and Liza is shocked when Pauline arrives. Pauline clearly knows what is happening between Liza and Charles, as she starts coming up with different premises for her sequel, suggesting that perhaps a younger assistant steals her husband. Liza panics and plays along when she says, “Maybe the assistant was actually trying to help,” but Pauline is not buying it and starts talking about revenge ideas. While it is great to see Liza and Charles finally together, there are still many outside forces that can bring consequences. Are they finally ready to face them together?

“Can we stay in our bubble just for tonight?”

The beginning of the episode opens up with us seeing bits and pieces of Liza and Charles’s night together which is very sexy and passionate. Charles leaves for ten days and when he returns, he is sporting a new beard. While Liza is not necessarily a fan of the beard, she is so excited to see Charles and the two continue their secret relationship by meeting up in the stairwell and sending texts to one another. When Charles invites Liza out, he takes her to Battery Park to a sea glass carousel and I was absolutely swooning over this date. All of this talk about staying in a bubble and Charles literally takes her to their very own bubble away from the rest of the world. After Liza tells Charles about Pauline, he explains that he has already taken care of it and agrees to let her take her sequel to another publishing company. It’s clear that Charles’s main priority is Liza, but he does recognize that the challenges are going to keep coming their way. While we know that they cannot stay hidden in their bubble forever, I have to say that it was so wonderful to finally see these two enjoy some quality time together. But what happens when they step out of the bubble and face reality? Something tells me that as long as they stick together, they can make it through any obstacle thrown their way. That doesn’t mean it will be smooth sailing; however, as we know these two are in for a bumpy ride. Stay tuned!
