For instance, Roxie (Rebecca Romijn) has yet to decide how to deal with her neighbour, Jamie (Jack Huston). She continues to have creepy dreams about him, but little things keep proving those dreams, or the message of them wrong. For instance, Jamie does not have the tattoo on his hip...or at least he didn't when she saw his hip, for he only branded himself later that day. And Jamie tells her he was taking pictures of Darryl (Paul Gross)'s house, though she thought he was spying on Darryl and her. Turns out, of course, that those pictures were in fact of her. The amusement is derived from her fear combined with his behaviour - he does not resemble the man in her dreams who scares her. He actually seems quite nice. And Roxie is a good person, after all, and expects that from other people too.
The most entertaining story arc this week was Joanna (Lindsay Price)'s. We learn that not only was she once engaged and abandoned at the alter, but when she speaks to any male she's both attracted to and uncomfortable with, she says terribly embarrassing things. She is so completely focused on Morgan (Brian Hallisay)'s sudden appearance in Eastwick that she is more concerned with the relationship that ended two years ago than the one she could potentially have now with Will (Johann Urb). She ends up missing their date because she is sleeping with Morgan. She realizes what a mistake it was when she asks Morgan why he left her in the first place, and he whines about her something awful.
Though she tries not to let Will know what happened, Morgan shows up to ask her out again, she, backed up by her awesome best friend, Peggy (Sarah Rue), tell him off. Unfortunately, the whole office hears what happened, and even though she bested Morgan, it cost her Will. Sad, but still hilarious.
Peggy is such a great and supportive friend to Joanna, so it was actually quite surprising for me when the episode ended with a reveal of Peggy and Jamie sharing knowledge about Darryl Van Horne, and then making out. Does she have any idea of Jamie's potential future of hurting Roxie?
Is she evil? Or is Darryl evil and manipulating Kat, Joanna, and Roxie to be so as well?
Kat (Jaime Ray Newman) certainly delved into her potential evil. She started the episode terrified that Raymond (Jon Bernthal) had kidnapped her children. Though he brought them back, he took them to scare her and told her he could do it again. She was pissed. What was the lesson we learned a couple weeks back from Dollhouse about mothers? So she, Roxie, and Joanna try a spell which is supposed to cover him in boils. We are unsure if it worked or not because, while Raymond does end up covered in red splotches, Kat is fairly certain they are flea bites from the fleas on their new dog. She does go farther, though, contacting Ivanka (Ivana Milicevic*), Darryl's New York lawyer. Through her anger, we see something new. Though Kat's relationship with nature has been volatile before, when she summoned an earthquake, or lighting, or frost, she had yet to destroy anything natural. It was perfectly horrid when she made the decision to destroy Raymond and we saw a garden full of beautiful roses wilt.
Luckily, though Kat has settled in her decision to end her marriage, she realized that if it got ugly her children would be hurt. So now Raymond and Kat are exchanging living in the house with their kids, and the rest of the time, Kat is living with Joanna.
I can't wait for next week's episode. I really love this show.
