Ranking the top 5 moments from “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” season 14 episode 3: “Dee Day”

Happy Saturday TV fans! After watching the FXX network’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 14 episode 3, we were reminded that “preparation is the key to victory,” but what happens when the plan is thrown off by…Dee Day? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet.

In Wednesday night’s episode, “Dee Day,” it’s finally Dee’s turn, as she gets a full day devoted to her. Only the gang isn’t necessarily too thrilled about this, as they are plotting another scheme that requires their full attention. My top 5 moments from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 14 episode 3 are:

“Who cares about her feelings?”

If you are a Sunny fan, then you will remember “Mac Day” (season 9, episode 5), when the gang was forced to go through an entire day doing whatever Mac wanted to do. Well, the tables have now turned and it is Dee’s turn to shine, but everyone seems ready to forget a day devoted to Dee, but she’s still prepared to make it work no matter what.

As soon as Dee begins, she wants to talk about her feelings and of course, the gang decides to tune her out, focusing in on their own inner monologues. After all, it’s not like they get to yell into the “Scream Pillow” anymore.

“Her characters suck!”

Dee hilariously decides to force Dennis, Charlie, Mac, and Frank to dress up as some of her former characters, which was actually really funny, but things get a little weird when they wind up on stage and she forces Charlie and Dennis to kiss. Mac clearly feels left out, but when Frank gets on stage, he steals the show, finally releasing the clams. Leave it to Frank to make something weird even weirder.

“I want to scream Bird!”

The gang is not allowed to make fun of Dee during Dee Day and she decides to take them all out bird watching. Of course this makes the gang want to scream out “Bird” even more, but they are forced to swallow down their insults. Keep it going, Dee!

“That’s what his soul looks like.”

Dee doesn’t hold anything back and explains that she wants Dennis to remove his make-up, but things get really interesting when Dennis walks in and looks like a completely different person. Dennis is forced to kick game to a lady with this appearance and it clearly is a nightmare for him. The gang points out that his pec has even been deflated, suggesting that perhaps the Golden God isn’t really that much of a god underneath all the lies and deception.

“You just insulted me on Dee Day.”

After the gang reveals that their ultimate plan was a success, caring more about getting a public urination act to pass by distracting the one female member of the board, Dee tries to explain that she is actually the one who executed everything, but of course they do not want to listen.

When the clock goes off, they start insulting Dee, but she has outsmarted them, turning back the clock, which means that they will be forced to endure another Dee Day and I have to say that they deserve it. Go Dee!

Overall, this was another fun throwback to a fan favorite episode, but I’m still waiting for some crazy laugh out loud moments. Hopefully we will get a Charlie centric episode soon!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “American Horror Story: 1984” season 9 episode 3: “Happy Jingles Day!”

Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching the FX network’s American Horror Story: 1984 season 9 episode 3, I started to wonder if there truly is method behind madness or if some people are just evil? Well, it looks like we are about to test this theory out and then some. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet.

In last night’s episode, “Slashdance,” we get a glimpse into Rita and Ray’s past, discovering that everyone has something to hide at Camp Redwood. Meanwhile, there are still two killers on the loose while impostors run around dressed up as Mr. Jingles to celebrate the anniversary of the massacre. My top 5 moments from the American Horror Story: 1984 season 9 episode 3 are:

“You totally missed it!”

Everyone gets quite a scare when multiple Jingles start appearing, as we quickly learn that it is Jingles Day. Several kids decide to prank people to celebrate the day of the massacre because apparently it’s tradition, but they are in for a big surprise when the real Mr. Jingles shows up to break up the party.

I guess he isn’t too impressed by the day in his honor, as he proceeds to brutally kill these impostors, but he hesitates when he comes across one with an inhaler, which suggests that perhaps Mr. Jingles doesn’t want to kill everyone…

“Oh honey, I wish you could see your face right now…”

Brooke and Rita make it to the car, but Brooke starts to panic when her friends take too long to catch up. She thinks that she should go for help, but Rita has other plans when she injects Brooke with a tranquilizer, providing us with an interesting twist for sure, as we learn that Rita has been less than honest with the rest of the group.

But why does everyone seem to be so focused on Brooke? We already got a glimpse into her past and I’m sure some of Joey’s family members might want to seek out revenge, but is there something else from her past that has not surfaced yet?

“Maybe it isn’t all my fault.”

So, we learn that Rita is not Rita at all and her real name is Donna Chambers. She is a psychologist who studies serial killers and she paid Mr. Jingles a visit in the asylum a week before he escaped. Donna gets Mr. Jingles to open up and chat, as she explains that she thinks that something in his life caused him to be this way.

Donna certainly seems to blame pornography and the military quite a bit, but she wants to see Mr. Jingles in his natural habitat, as we discover that she was the one to help plan his escape. Donna talks about redemption, but I’m not sure if Mr. Jingles is really making that much progress during his killing spree…although I guess sparing one life is something?

Donna is also far from innocent, as she meets the real Nurse Rita on the way to Camp Redwood and decides to take on her identity. While it initially seemed like Donna killed poor Rita, Rita wakes up later on when Xavier and Montana are hiding from Mr. Jingles and begins screaming even after they tell her to be quiet. Rita’s day doesn’t get any easier, as Mr. Jingles decides to shut her up permanently…by shoving an oar in her mouth.

“What the hell are you doing down there?”

“I’m dying!” The campy horror humor continues in this episode and several moments made me laugh out loud. Ray doesn’t learn from his past mistakes, as he repeatedly leaves his friends to die to save himself…but what goes around comes around. Ray yells out, “See ya,” when riding off on the motorcycle…right before Mr. Jingles decides to decapitate him. So long, Ray!

“Why the hell haven’t you killed her yet?”

Fake Rita was not the only twist during the episode, as Montana comes face-to-face with the Night Stalker at the end of the episode. While it initially seemed like Montana was in some real trouble here, the two proceed to make out and Montana asks him why he hasn’t killed her yet.

So now of course, I am extremely interested in Montana’s past and motive and it looks like we will get to see a glimpse of it in next week’s episode. The twists and turns keep coming our way and I have to say that I am absolutely loving the new season!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “The Affair” season 5 episode 3: “You Are Allowed To Say No”

Happy Sunday TV fans! After watching Showtime’s The Affair season 5 episode 3, I realized that sometimes it takes “an enormous fall from grace” in order for someone to come full circle. But what if you can’t see this redemption for yourself? Does that mean that it is incomplete or is it possible that you went right back to where you started without learning anything? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet.

In tonight’s episode, “503,” it seems like Noah is on a new path, but his obsession over Helen continues to cloud his better judgment. Meanwhile, Helen grows closer to Sasha and Joanie meets a stranger, revealing some darkness within her. My top 5 moments from The Affair season 5 episode 3 are:

“You remind me of your mother…”

Part one of the episode follows Noah and we witness him having dinner with his daughter, Whitney. Whitney seems stressed and beyond exhausted, but Noah is concerned that perhaps she is jumping into a wedding with Colin a little bit too quickly, especially since his green card depends on it. Noah knows that his daughter will not listen to him, hoping to convince Helen to talk some sense into her, but I’m interested to find out more about Whitney’s story.

Whitney has been on and off the show so I’m hoping to see some character growth and development for her, but I’m worried about whether or not Colin has true feelings for her. I’m also wondering if Noah will finally be able to repair the damage between them or if he will always feel like an outsider to his own family?

“How’s that working out?”

During Noah’s part of the episode, he receives a call from Janelle. We learn that Janelle never returned his phone calls after Vic’s funeral and that they haven’t spoken in three months. Noah agrees to meet Janelle in person so she can explain things and he discovers that she is running for the school board and is back together with Carl.

Janelle wants to make sure that Noah will keep things quiet about their past relationship since it could damage her campaign and I’m wondering if we will see more of this developed. I’m not surprised that things didn’t work out between Noah and Janelle, but I also want to keep her relevant on the show so some secrets may have to be leaked in order for this happen.

“You are one sick bitch…”

Part three of the episode follows Joanie and once again, we only get a few minutes to follow her, which is starting to irritate me slightly. I’m really hoping that these little bits and pieces will lead to a much bigger part of the puzzle because I feel like Joanie deserves a lot more screen time, but I am trusting in executive producer, Sarah Treem to seamlessly connect everything in a satisfying way. I guess that just goes to show that I am very invested in Joanie’s character and I want to know more!

Joanie sits at a bar in Montauk and lies about having children to the bartender, asking him if she looks like someone who would have kids. The two go back to Cole’s old house and have rough sex, as Joanie proceeds to slap the stranger in order to feel something.

There is clearly darkness and some kind of void inside of Joanie, but I’m worried about this dark path that she is headed on. I’m really hoping that discovering the truth behind Alison’s death will give her some kind of peace of mind because it looks like she is beyond damaged and I want so much more for Alison and Cole’s daughter.

“You’re very territorial.”

In the beginning of the episode, Noah is doing an interview for Vanity Fair and the journalist asks him, “Would you say that the redemption of Noah Solloway is complete?” Noah is unable to answer this, proving once again that perhaps Noah doesn’t have a clue about who he really is or who he is meant to be.

Later in the episode, Noah becomes obsessed when watching Helen and Sasha, reminding me of the crazy Noah we saw in season 3 after he was in prison. I didn’t like this Noah and I don’t want to see him return, but I think that Sasha was on to something. Sasha tells Noah that he can’t see himself and that’s why he doesn’t understand his character. But I have to wonder if Noah will ever be able to truly see himself or if he will forever be trapped in the past, wallowing in self-pity, unable to ever be satisfied?

“You don’t have to set yourself on fire to keep other people warm.”

Sasha has some pretty great lines in this episode and I think that he may be the unlikely voice of reason for both Noah and Helen. However, I still don’t completely trust him. Helen and Sasha’s relationship has advanced to the next level, but is Helen truly ready to move on? Helen has a lot to deal with, including the news of her father’s declining health and allowing Sierra and baby Eddie to stay under her roof. Sasha reminds Helen that she can say no, but it seems like Helen may be using Sasha as an escape.

I honestly just want Helen to find some kind of happiness, but I’m not sure that Sasha is her knight in shining armor. Perhaps Helen doesn’t need a boyfriend anymore as she mentioned to her son earlier. I just think she needs to truly love and appreciate herself, but it will be interesting to see what happens next now that Sasha has gained more of her trust.

The Affair still has me hooked and I can’t wait to find out more! Stay tuned!

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!

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 “Fear the Walking Dead” season 5 episode 3: “Welcome to the Gulch”

Happy Monday TV fans! After watching AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead season 5 episode 3, I realized that “there’s words and there’s action” and that it’s always possible for one’s luck to turn around. You may think that you are on the right track, but what if you discover a new path on the way? Do you abandon that former journey or do you circle back and chase down the past? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “Humbug’s Gulch,” John Dorie and June walk into the wild wild west of walkers and discover another possible threat. Meanwhile, Alicia tries to get through to the kids over the walkie with Morgan and Luciana’s support. My top 5 moments from Fear the Walking Dead season 5 episode 3 are:

“Welcome to the gulch…”

John Dorie and June come across one of John’s old stomping grounds, Humbug’s Gulch, bringing us right into the wild west. There’s even a brothel (which apparently just serves soup), a dust storm, and a gun fight to really make you feel like you are in the middle of an old Clint Eastwood movie, but our favorite cowboy, John Dorie, does not disappoint. John is very familiar with this place, even though theatrics were never really his thing.

June seems interested as well and wants to know if John was a good guy or a bad guy, as they search for suitable weapons and supplies. John seems focused on getting out of there before they run into more trouble, but this definitely set the scene for a much needed date night for our favorite couple. Maybe we could do without the walkers though…

“We should be comparing notes.”

John and June run into some trouble at the Gulch and in walks our old friend, Dwight. Hooray! I’m really happy that we did not have to wait that long for this crossover, as I have been anxiously waiting for it to happen since the season premiere. Dwight cuts right to the chase and asks them, “Where is she?” We quickly learn that he is referring to his wife, Sherry, who he has been trying to track down for quite some time. John and June are such amazing people and they recognize that Dwight is just trying to find his lost love, which is something they are both very familiar with.

John reasons with Dwight to get him to take a breath and calm down so that they can all get out of there together. Dwight listens to reason as introductions are made and he even gives us a few laughs when he asks John if his last name is “like the fish?” I guess John’s not the only one to make that connection. It was also hilarious to see John’s reaction to Dwight referring to the dead as “walkers,” but small talk will need to be put on hold, as they try to get out of the wild west alive.

“You don’t have to do it alone.”

Meanwhile, Alicia and Luciana can no longer hear John and June over the walkie, but they do come across a channel that the kids are using. Dylan, Max, and Annie are still out there and Alicia is determined to help them, even though they repeatedly tell her to stay away. After a few tries, Alicia decides to just have a real and honest conversation with them. She tells them, “I know how much you’re hurting…it’s not because I’ve been there. It’s because I am there.” Alicia confides in them about losing her own family, trying to make some sort of connection with them.

I thought this moment was extremely important for Alicia because she has been bottling up her own feelings for quite some time and this was very therapeutic for her. Not only does she have the chance to reach someone else and help them, but she also takes the time to talk about her own feelings, which is not always easy to do.

“You’ve got another chance right now…”

John sets off a unique distraction with the piano, as they make their way out the window, only the roof is not going to support their weight for long. Dwight jumps off the roof, but ends up hurting himself, but he makes it to the car he has been searching for. Only now, the car is completely surrounded by walkers. Dwight takes out the note from Sherry which reads: “West on 30,” accompanied with an infinity sign. Dwight believes that this is the car from the registration, but he cannot find another message from Sherry, as defeat and hopelessness now overwhelm him. All hope is not lost; however, as June radios over to him and reminds him that he has another chance right now and that they have all done things they are not proud of.

John and June keep Dwight’s hope alive and get him out of a jam, as John shows off his impressing shooting skills and we even get to witness the famous “San Antonio Split,” which was quite entertaining to watch. After all, this is apparently only the second time he has been able to pull this off! Later on, John approaches Dwight and explains that the VIN did not match up and he believes this is not the car and it is possible that there is another one still out there, reminding Dwight not to give up.

John and June have so much goodness within them and I was so happy to see them share a kiss as well, reminding me why I ship these two so much. They really could have their own movie together, as they have such an epic and beautiful love and they inspire others with it…including me!

“We’re all trying to start over.”

At the end of the episode, everyone meets up again and Morgan and Dwight cross paths. They are shocked to see one another and Dwight immediately tries to explain his past actions, but Morgan stops him and tells him that he doesn’t have to say it, explaining that they are all trying to get a fresh start now. Alicia asks Dwight to show them how far he got, as they have been trying to figure out what is going on with this perimeter made out of walkers. The perimeter is quite overwhelming and our favorite characters are ready to get to work to figure out what is on the other side, but they are interrupted when Annie and the others try to reach Alicia over the walkie.

They start to head back to the truck stop, but find Dylan hurt in the van. Max and Annie are not there, but we quickly learn that they are not so innocent. We cut to them asking, “Do you think they bought it?” They continue working on the walker perimeter, but what is their end game here? Are the children the big bad and how is this connected to Al? What are their intentions for our group? We know they want them to stay away, but why? What are they hiding?

This is not the first time we have come across corrupt children in TWD universe who were too far gone to understand right from wrong, but I’m interested to find out more and if there is any room for change. I also am quite impressed if these three kids were able to do all of this alone, but is someone else pulling their strings? And if so, who? I can’t wait to find out more! Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “The 100” season 6 episode 3: “Have you ever known peace?”

Happy Wednesday TV fans! After watching the CW’s The 100 season 6 episode 3, I realized that many of us want that second chance…an opportunity to start over. But this is not always possible when it comes to a jaded past. Can one really be redeemed or will past sins consume you until there is nothing left? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “The Children of Gabriel,” Clarke and the others meet the leader of Sanctum, Russell Lightbourne, but is he a friend or foe? Meanwhile, Madi, Diyoza, and Gaia face a threat on the ship and Octavia is ready for action. My top 5 moments from The 100 season 6 episode 3 are:

“I’m pretty sure I’m going to hell.”

In the beginning of the episode, Murphy’s life is in great danger, as Abby cannot figure out what is happening to him. The leader of Sanctum, Russell Lightbourne, approaches and reveals that he can save Murphy life…only “he’s already dead,” but apparently this is not the end. Murphy was exposed to something toxic in the seaweed and Lightbourne uses the venom from a live snake to suck out the poison. Luckily Murphy is all right, but this near death experience has definitely rattled him.

Murphy explains that he thought he saw something and he states that he’s pretty sure he is going to hell. So what exactly did Murphy see and will this be explored further? We know that Murphy died on this mysterious moon for a few moments, so is it possible that he came back wrong? We’ll have to wait and see, but I am absolutely concerned about Murphy.

“You need to work on your game, kid…”

This is the first time that Jordan has really interacted with anyone other than his parents, Monty and Harper, but he doesn’t waste any time, as he immediately connects with a girl on Sanctum named Delilah. Jordan thinks that she looks like a princess and he even gets to experience his first kiss, but his innocence and naivete get in the way, as Jordan reveals a little bit too much to Delilah about Clarke’s past. Maybe Murphy should have a talk with him after all…

“My sister died a long time ago.”

Meanwhile, we learn that there is another group residing on Sanctum named the Children of Gabriel and they are very dangerous according to the Primes. They use some kind of paralytic darts on Madi, Diyoza, and Gaia on the ship and keep yelling out “Death to Primes!” It’s clear that there is some kind of feud going on here, but who are the good guys? It may be a while until we find out, but this is a threat that should not be taken lightly.

Bellamy, Echo, and Octavia watch from afar, but Octavia refuses to listen to reason and decides to just start attacking…you know, because that’s what Blodreina does best. Later on, Bellamy decides to leave Octavia behind and tells her that his sister died a long time ago. At the end of the episode, the Children of Gabriel capture Octavia and plan to take her with them. Does this mean that Octavia has just found a new group of people to lead or is she in serious danger here?

“I will not apologize for saving the people that I love.”

Russell Lightbourne seems to connect most with Clarke and she takes on the leadership role once again. Clarke surprises everyone when she emerges in a gorgeous dress, revealing that perhaps she has the potential to be a princess as well. Clarke is nervous about her dinner with Russell and his wife, as she recognizes that he holds the key to their survival. Abby tells her to just be herself, but Clarke has a very dangerous past.

As Clarke sits down for dinner, Russell’s wife asks her, “How many people have you killed?” and further asks if they should really call her, “Wanheda?” Clarke learns that Jordan spilled the beans and she just asks for a second chance. Russell believes that she wants to change, but he doesn’t think this is possible and tells her that they need to leave. It looks like Russell has been burned before and perhaps we will explore this more later in the season.

“You changed your mind…”

After Clarke helps save Delilah from being captured by the Children of Gabriel, Russell agrees to let her stay, but only after he sees Clarke’s nightblood. It’s clear that having nightblood is very important to the Primes, but is Clarke now in danger as a result? Clarke is afraid of them finding out about Madi, as she will do anything to protect her daughter. Everyone can stay for now…except Diyoza, whose reputation precedes her. How do the Primes know so much about Diyoza? It seems like we have a lot to explore here, but I’m interested to find out more and let’s hope that our girl, Clarke isn’t in great danger. Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Killing Eve” season 2 episode 3: “The Hungry Caterpillar”

Happy Monday TV fans! After watching BBC America’s Killing Eve season 2 episode 3 on AMC, I realized that there’s always an effective way to get back at someone and Villanelle is the queen of this. If your new handler is not so nice, why not go on a shopping spree on him? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “The Hungry Caterpillar,” Villanelle claims that she is not jealous of the new female assassin with the clever nickname, “Ghost,” but she starts to have second thoughts when she realizes she may have Eve’s undivided attention. Meanwhile, Eve tries to show her support for Niko by attending one of his school functions, but has trouble leaving the job behind her for the night. My top 5 moments from Killing Eve season 2 episode 3 are:

“Hate is something she understands.”

After the shocking twist in last week’s episode, Eve has a conversation with Konstantin. Konstantin asks Eve: “You think she loves you? Then make her hate you…hate is something she understands. Look what happens to those she loves.” This clearly hits home with Eve and she does begin to really contemplate her own feelings and thoughts, but I don’t think it has tamed the obsession going on between her and Villanelle just yet. Konstantin makes a valid point; however, and he understands what it means to have Villanelle’s distorted affection, as he points out that she did try to kill him.

Is Eve any different from the others Villanelle has loved or will she end up in the same predicament? I’m not sure, but it seems like Eve really challenges Villanelle, which may not be something she is used to. Villanelle likes to maintain control, but I think that deep down she truly wants to be surprised, so that she can tap into some hidden feelings of her own and know what it feels like to truly be alive.

“Uh oh…are you trying to make me jealous?”

Villanelle’s new handler, Raymond, tells her about the new female assassin, “Ghost,” and also explains that she doesn’t work for them just yet. So who does Ghost work for and what does she want? We know that Villanelle loves to hog the spotlight and is not a fan of discrete kills, but will this throw her off her game now that she knows that Eve is involved? We’ll have to wait and see, but I’m looking forward to meeting Ghost face-to-face.

“Do you have cats? Maybe you should just get another one…”

Eve puts on her gorgeous new blue dress and meets Niko at his school function, but is not too thrilled with the company he is keeping, as she notices another co-worker flirting with him. Villanelle also makes an appearance at the school function with an adorable new disguise that sort of reminded me of Velma from Scooby Doo if she suddenly found her inner Daphne. Even though Eve does not see Villanelle, she is pretty much everywhere. Eve panics when she sees the apple in Niko’s classroom and is immediately on edge.

Villanelle also takes some quality time with the co-worker crushing on Niko and gives her some life lessons about getting more cats. Eve pulls the fire alarm to get outside, but she doesn’t notice Villanelle right behind her, who slips her a clue. Eve is always so meticulous and contemplative about everything, but it appears that she may be slightly off her game because of Villanelle’s impact on her. Will she be able to get it together? Let’s hope so!

“I’m going to offer you something she won’t…”

Later on, Eve approaches Konstantin behind Carolyn’s back and offers to tell him where his family is if he tells her what she wants to know. This is a dangerous play here, as Eve goes against Carolyn, which may have severe consequences at her job. However, Eve is thinking in the moment and desperately wants to find Villanelle and also discover more information on The Twelve. Eve recognizes that the elevator death is not Villanelle’s usual style, but the lipstick clue she left says otherwise.

Carolyn is not too happy with Eve’s play here, as it ultimately backfires, but will Eve really be able to stick to her side from now on? At the end of the episode, Eve begins to put the lipstick on and cuts her lip, realizing that Villanelle hid a blade underneath. What does this mean for Eve? It looks like Villanelle is not playing sweet and nice with her anymore, but that doesn’t mean that her obsession is gone. However, it may have just reached a new level now, becoming that much more dangerous. Watch out, Eve!

“This is a terrible hug.”

Konstantin comes for Villanelle and she begins running toward him. However, instead of trying to kill him, she embraces him with a hug and hilariously asks: “You’re not still mad about that are you?” Villanelle may have tried to kill Konstantin, but he seems to ultimately need her. He offers her a partnership and gets Villanelle out of there right before Eve barges into the room. There are so many missed encounters in this episode between Eve and Villanelle, but I’m intrigued to find out what will finally happen when they come face-to-face with one another.

As Villanelle drives off with Konstantin, she hilariously begins singing obnoxiously to “Listen To Your Heart” by Roxette, which you can listen to here! Villanelle has many talents, but I’m not sure that singing is one of them, but this moment just made me adore Villanelle that much more. What will she do next now that she is working with Konstantin? Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists” season 1 episode 3: “You Tell Or I Will”

Greetings TV fans! After watching Freeform’s Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists season 1 episode 3, I realized that Ava asked an important question: “How do you act normal when nothing in your life is normal…when you’re forced to trust people you hardly know?” Especially when your new circle of trust has a lot of secrets and “nothing stays secret forever.” Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “…If One of Them Is Dead,” Dana Booker continues to try to “divide and conquer,” to get to the bottom of Nolan’s murder. Meanwhile, Alison continues to rely on Mona for help and discovers some hidden truths along the way. My top 5 moments from Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists season 1 episode 3 are:

“I know a liar when I see one.”

In this episode, Dana Booker continues to consult with Nolan’s mother, Claire, as they suspect Caitlin, Ava, and Dylan’s involvement in the murder. Claire explains that she will focus on Caitlin, as she will not want to risk her family’s future. Claire seems to be very interested in Caitlin specifically, but why? We know that Claire is very much aware of Caitlin’s mother’s potential scandal, but is there something more to this to further her own agenda? Is she perhaps the one blackmailing Caitlin’s mother to begin with? I have a lot of questions here, but it looks like manipulation doesn’t fall far from the tree, as I am starting to see where Nolan got his own blackmailing skills from. Either way, it looks like Claire is not someone to be taken lightly and could end up being a major threat later on.

“She’s trying to divide and conquer us.”

Ava, Caitlin, and Dylan are happy that Alison provided them all with alibis, but they don’t know her well enough to trust her completely just yet. They recognize that they all need to stick together, but their secrets are out there, which makes this no easy task. They quickly realize that Dana is trying to split them up and get them to turn on one another, but will they be able to outsmart her? We’ll have to wait and see, but it looks like these three are not getting split up anytime soon.

“You went out of your way to do something nice for me.”

Ava is having an extremely difficult time coping with Nolan’s death, as she turns to alcohol to numb her pain. Most of Ava’s friendships seem to be on the superficial level so it looks like she could really end up bonding with Caitlin and Dylan. In a touching moment, Caitlin brings Ava the present that Claire gave her, recognizing that Nolan must have meant for her to have it. Ava is clearly moved by this gesture and I think this just solidified a new friendship between these two for good. Later on, Dylan asks Caitlin and Ava to listen to the music piece he created for his boyfriend, which is extremely touching as well.

“You tell or I will.”

After tracking down a lead at the cabin Nolan went to, Ava, Caitlin, and Dylan smell something funky in the car. They take a page out of I Know What You Did Last Summer’s book, as they discover a dead rat in the trunk along with a threatening note. So who wrote the note and what exactly do they want? Later on, Caitlin discovers the same gum wrapper that was in the woods, which belongs to Mason. So is Mason the one who witnessed everything in the woods or is this a little bit too obvious?

“But we need to do our suspicious activity.”

Alison goes to Mona for help again, but Mona is upset to find out that she has been locked out of the network. Alison and Mona recognize that they need to channel some old school Nancy Drew detective skills to find out more, as Mona hands over an old yearbook to Alison. Alison begins questioning her own witnesses and tracking down leads that bring her to the very same cabin, but it looks like Alison has discovered something very important. Alison finds the same rose that she saw in one of the memorial pictures for Taylor and starts to realize that Taylor may be alive. After all, Alison is no stranger to faking her own death, but will she find herself in even more trouble once she continues to follow this trail of breadcrumbs? Stay tuned!

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

Ranking the top 5 moments from “SMILF” season 2 episode 3: “Birthday twins!”

Greetings TV viewers! After watching Showtime’s SMILF season 2 episode 3, I was reminded that one night can have a ripple effect on so many others, only you don’t always realize it. After Bridgette’s fiasco last week, we actually get to learn how her night impacted other characters on the show, which was clever and fun. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In tonight’s episode, “Surrogate Mothers Inspire Loving Families,” which is a play on SMILF, Bridgette takes the statue of Mary home and tries to recover from her crazy adventure. Meanwhile, the episode is split up into three parts, allowing us to see how that same day impacted: Ida, Ally & Mindy, and Elsie. My top 5 moments from the SMILF season 2 episode 3 are:

“Everybody always misses my birthday.”

In the beginning of the episode, we flash back to “earlier that day” and Ally starts talking about how everyone always misses her birthday. Ally is clearly in a rut because of Mr. Daddy’s infidelity, but she desperately tries to put a bright spin on everything. Only we quickly learn that this big day for Ally actually impacts a lot of the people around her as well.

“Come dance with me.”

The first perspective of the episode belongs to Ida, who works very hard for Ally. We learn that Ally’s daughter, Chloe, actually has a very close bond with Ida. Ida even helps her “roll” out her fat so that she feels confident for her date. After the date, Chloe is upset and feels rejected, but Ida keeps her staying positive, as the two of them dance away their worries, which is heartwarming and special. Even though Ally is Chloe’s mother, I’m not sure that Chloe feels comfortable talking to her about her problems, but it’s nice to see that she has another woman under her roof who is there for her.

“I hate Judge Judy.”

During the “Ally & Mindy” portion of the episode, Ally gets a call from her son and has to pick him up from school because he is not feeling well. Ally tries to bond with her son and suggests that they can curl up on the couch and watch television together, but her son hilariously reminds her, “I hate Judge Judy and it’s so predictable.” Later on, Ally wants to go into a store and tries to get her son to behave and says he can buy whatever he wants at Target and that “he can shoot guns all night” as long as he remains quiet, which is not the phrase that Ally opted for. It doesn’t look like the bonding is going anywhere, however.

“Thank you Miss Ally and your cheating ass husband.”

The third part of the episode is from Elsie’s perspective and she is beyond excited to go to a concert later on. After Ally decides to replace her own refrigerator simply because it doesn’t go with the rest of the decor, she agrees to let Elsie have the discarded refrigerator, which frees up some money so that Elsie can go get her hair done in style. Unfortunately, Elsie misses out on the concert when she gets the call from Ally to babysit Larry while Ally and Bridgette go out for her birthday, but she ends up making the most of it by dancing the night away with Mindy, while keeping a watchful eye over Larry of course.

“Birthday twins!”

During the Ally & Mindy portion of the episode, Mindy helps Ally in the store she works at. Ally has been desperately trying to obtain a rare Birkin bag, which costs $23,000 and is tired of being put on the waiting list. After discovering that Ally and Mindy share the same birthday, Mindy decides to help out Ally after being snubbed by another customer who was waiting for the bag. Ally isn’t the kindest to Mindy either, but Mindy is still sweet to her and ends up watching Larry with Elsie when they are unable to go to the concert together. It seems like Ally doesn’t really know how to hold on to a friend, but perhaps she should take a further look at the women around her who are always there for her. Birthdays are a time for celebration, but we also tend to take a good hard look in the mirror at ourselves and determine where we are in our lives. Ally may still need some time to recover over Mr. Daddy, but I think that she should take a cue from Ida, Elsie, and Mindy, who seem to make the best of their situations no matter what. At least Ally got that Birkin bag though. Stay tuned for more SMILF fun!

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

Ranking the top 5 moments from “The Passage” season 1 episode 3: “You’re a Horror Show”

Happy Tuesday TV fans! After watching Fox’s The Passage season 1 episode 3, Clark reminded us that “nobody gets over anything” and that “they say time helps, but it doesn’t.” However, does that mean we stop trying? Is it possible to save a lost cause? Maybe not, but if we stop trying, do we lose our own humanity in the process? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “That Never Should Have Happened to You,” we get a glimpse into Shauna Babcock’s past, revealing quite a lot about who she was before Project Noah. Meanwhile, Lila tries to get some answers, Lacey’s fate is revealed, Amy gets a new pen pal, and Brad comes face to face with Fanning. My top 5 moments from The Passage season 1 episode 3 are:

“Why do you think she made that choice?”

After Shauna took a bite out of Simmons, the rest of Project Noah begins to discuss this behavior and what it means. They quickly realize that this was personal for Shauna, as Simmons had been tormenting her for a while and she also chose not to harm the squirmy janitor. So was it out of revenge or does Shauna have heightened intelligence? The scientists on the team are eager to find out, but Dr. Lear reminds them that this will not “fix the nightmares problem.” Clark does not want to rehash this; however, as he agrees that the threat should be eliminated and Shauna should be put down. But is Clark able to deal with his own inner turmoil right now?

“You might be the most important little girl in the world.”

After Brad and Amy arrive at Project Noah, Amy is not reacting well to the doctors surrounding her. Dr. Sykes tries a calmer approach and explains that Amy could save so many people and that she promises that nothing will happen to her. But can she really make a promise like that? It seems like Dr. Sykes is having doubts as well like Dr. Lear, but she understands that she can save millions of lives if she succeeds. But can she deal with the consequences of the lives she has ruined? I’m still looking forward to seeing her character explored further and I’m sure we will get there, but it’s clear that Amy has a major role to play here.

“What are we not gonna do? Panic.”

During this episode, Brad promises that he will not leave Amy. The bond between these two continues to grow and it’s really almost like Brad is now Amy’s father. He even looks for monsters in the closet and under the bed, which is adorable, except we know that there are real monsters lurking within the walls of Project Noah. Brad is determined to protect Amy, but is he a match for Fanning? Perhaps he may need a little bit of help here.

“He’s gonna come for her.”

Later on, the janitor warns Brad that Fanning is going to come for Amy. I’m not sure if Fanning recognizes Amy’s potential here or just wants to eliminate a possible new threat, but he is definitely fixated on her presence. Dr. Lear and Brad somewhat join forces, as they try to figure out what Fanning wants. Brad hilariously asks Dr. Lear, “Why don’t you just call them vampires?” This is a valid point for sure. I mean, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck…it’s science? Dr. Lear is a scientist at heart and says there is no such thing as vampires, but he does realize that his old friend is very dangerous and communicating on another level with the other subjects and with people inside Project Noah. We know that Fanning wants to be free and will stop at nothing to achieve his goal, but he now has Brad in his way. At the end of the episode, Fanning finally appears in Brad’s dream and warns him to stay out of his way, but will Brad listen?

“Is it gonna hurt? Not one bit…”

During the episode, we get an important glimpse into Shauna Babcock’s past. We know that she connected with Clark when she was brought in and he gave her some false promises, which explains his obsession with her and why she may be invading his dreams. We also get to dive deeper into Shauna’s past before all of this and learn that she had a hard life and was just trying to leave it all behind so that she could start over as a special effects make-up artist. Shauna actually seemed to have some talent and was saving money so that she could start her dream. However, her mother’s husband had been sexually abusing her for quite some time and it’s clear that Shauna was broken from this. Later on, Shauna was horrified when she found out that her mother knew the whole time and she could not control her anger, as she unleashed it on both her mother and step-father. Shauna’s past is revealing and heartbreaking, but it also explains a lot about her current situation now. Shauna is the first subject to show such advanced intelligence and perhaps it is because she has always been trying to find something else within her: a strength that cannot be smothered by others. Later on, Clark is unable to go through with killing her. Is it because he still cares about her or does he feel directly responsible for her current situation? Either way, Shauna Babcock has not been eliminated just yet.

Overall, this was my favorite episode so far. There are very few shows that can seamlessly intertwine character flashbacks with the plot so well. Shows like Lost and Orange Is the New Black come to mind here. The Passage has just achieved this as well for me. These flashbacks connect you more to the characters, but it isn’t forced. It elevates the show to something else…something meaningful and powerful, bringing you in that much more. I am extremely impressed with The Passage so far and I can’t wait to see what happens next. Stay tuned!

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