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!

When Kallie Bennett, a jaded teenage girl plagued by her alcoholic mother and her peers molded out of sheer bubble gum perfection, chases after Alice in Wonderland herself, she ends up lost in her own version of Wonderland, which forces her to face her utmost fears and introduces her to familiar characters with a dark twist. Among these characters is Ches, a gorgeous vampire with a conflicted conscience, who becomes Kallie’s guide and blossoming love interest. She also crosses paths with Queen Hartley, a manipulative witch who has the power to strip away one’s memories and imagination, which brings a bone chilling new meaning to “off with their heads.” In The Search for Alice, Kallie starts to realize that her Wonderland is just as frightening as her own reality and that she cannot always run away from her problems. She must figure out a way to defeat Queen Hartley and return home before it is too late, but she soon learns that escaping Wonderland means leaving Ches behind forever.
