Happy Wednesday TV fans! After watching TV Land’s Younger season 5 episode 6 last night, I was reminded that trust is not an easy thing to earn back. Even though we may give someone time or space, it’s difficult to promise that we will never break that trust again, leaving us swirling around in a whirlwind of uncertainty, wondering if we can ever make things right. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “Sex, Liza, and Rock & Roll,” Liza is excited to meet rock star, Chrissie Hart, who proves to be beyond eccentric and extremely hilarious. Meanwhile, Diana prepares for a sleepover at Enzo’s house and Kelsey has trouble deciding what or who she really wants. My top 5 moments from Younger season 5 episode 6 are:

“It’s real and you deserve it.”
Maggie is beyond excited that her art is selected to be featured at the Whitney and she mingles at her party and meets some interested buyers, which proves that dreams really can come true. Josh tells her, “you have officially arrived,” and I have to say that it is about time. Maggie is so talented and her work is unique and expressive, just like her character, which makes this moment truly amazing for her. I have to also admit that I loved the first real meeting between her and Diana, as we know that Maggie refuses to let anyone step on her. Remember the Montana incident? Either way, it’s great to see Maggie finally getting the attention that she deserves.

“I hope you’re not here to cock block me.”
Rockstar, Chrissie Hart, is writing a book for Empirical Press and requests that Charles come to pick it up personally at her home in Shelter Island. Only Charles gets way more than he bargained for when Chrissie gives him the grand tour, which leads up to a box that supposedly contains a “ten thousand dollar dildo.” Charles is hilarious when he shuts the box before he is scarred for life and reminds Chrissie again to provide him with the book. When Liza shows up to help out, Charles is relieved to see her, but Chrissie reminds her that she better not cock block her because she plans on “banging his brains out.” Charles begs Liza not to leave him alone with her, which adds to the comedy, but is Charles finally ready to let Liza back into his life and possibly his heart?

“I am a grape. A very very juicy grape.”
In the beginning of the episode, we learn that Diana is preparing for a sleepover night at Enzo’s place in Staten Island and she is beyond nervous. When Liza notices everything she has packed, she asks her, “Are you staying over or redecorating?” Diana hilariously explains that, “I need to prepare for polyester,” but is in for a nice surprise when she walks into Enzo’s home and discovers that it is neat, clean, and well decorated. In the morning, she is introduced to Enzo’s mother and learns that he still lives with her. Enzo’s mother begins complaining in Italian that Diana is too old and that he brought her a raisin instead of a grape, but Diana shocks them both when she replies in Italian, “I am a grape. A very very juicy grape,” proving that there is no one in the world who can take down Diana. Enzo’s mother is beyond pleased that she speaks Italian and Diana reminds her that her age is none of her business. Once again, it looks like the relationship between Diana and Enzo is proving to be a delightful surprise and Diana deserves every second of happiness.

“So someone like you?”
Kelsey continues to struggle with her feelings for both Jake and Zane and it only gets worse in this episode. Zane is frustrated by Jake’s chapters and demands that Kelsey get him on the phone so that they can discuss it. While Jake doesn’t like Zane’s “tone,” Zane harshly reminds him that he doesn’t like his chapter, which makes this rivalry a dangerous one, since it mixes both business and pleasure. After Kelsey thinks she has it all figured out with Jake, Zane throws her a curve ball and tells her what she wants. He says that she wants someone who can challenge her, but also make her happy. Kelsey stops thinking with her head and begins kissing Zane passionately. When she returns home the next morning, she tells Lauren and Josh what happened and Lauren tells her to have them both when she asks who she should choose. While we still don’t know what Kelsey will ultimately decide, it’s only a matter of time before Jake and Zane find out about each other, but will this damage the book deal? Will Kelsey make the right decision? While Jake is a nice enough guy, as Zane pointed out, “Nice is code for dull,” and there is nothing dull about our girl Kelsey.

“I didn’t run away.”
After Liza and Charles are able to escape the antics of Chrissie Hart when she passes out, Liza corners Charles and asks him, “When are you going to trust me again?” The silence is too much for her to handle and she desperately wants to talk things through with him. However, Charles is still not able to open up to Liza about how he is feeling and says goodnight to her. Even though there is only a door between them, you can feel the tension brewing, wanting nothing more than to come screaming to the surface, but Charles is still not ready to put his emotions and heart on the line. Liza is disappointed to learn that Charles leaves in the morning and she speaks to Chrissie and tells her what an inspiration she was to her and how much she helped her after her marriage fell apart and that she can continue to help others and delivers the manuscript to Charles. When Charles asks Liza how she was able to get this, she reminds him that she didn’t run away, putting the ball back into his court. Will Charles wait too long to let Liza know how he truly feels? We know that Josh is waiting in the wings and it’s only a matter of time before Liza closes the door on her feelings for Charles for good. Will Charles and Liza finally get a chance to explore a real relationship? Stay tuned!
