Joanna (Lindsay Price) is so awkward, it's adorable. We have all danced and sung Like a Virgin with abandon with our best friends, though not all of us have then had the man we are in love with catch us in the act. And though it was completely predictable that Will would appear just as Joanna was getting really into it, it's one of those things you would be disappointed about if it didn't happen.
Plus, when he asked her to the Harvest Festival, and she turned him down cause she thinks she made him like her when he wouldn't have otherwise...so sweet. Even more sweet is the fact that he wouldn't give up, despite her rejections, and the ended up dancing to Madonna at the town dance. Awwwww.
Roxie (Rebecca Romijn) is just so much fun. She is tempestuous and exactly the kind of person you want on your side when you need backup. Her desire to kill the little puke who sexually assaulted her daughter is one we feel too. That jerk was never going to learn how to respect women, even if Mia had called him out on it. When Roxie drove at him, knocking him on his ass, I cheered.
Plus Romijn and Paul Gross (who plays the mysterious Darryl Van Horne) have such great chemistry. You have to give her props for not jumping him and removing all his clothes with her teeth...though, often, he's not wearing much. The tensions between Roxie and Darryl completely overpowers any spark between Roxie and Chad (Matt Dallas). I don't really see why he wants to be her boyfriend so badly...or why she's interested when he's behaving like such a kid about it, and I definitely didn't like that he was making her jealous with another girl who wasn't in on the plan. Now, not only is he weak and jealous, he's also a jerk.
I wonder how long it will take Roxie to actually end up in Darryl's bed.
Finally, Kat (Jamie Ray Newman), the dedicated mother, needs friends to support her more than she needs to take on any more problems that belong to other people. Her relationship with her husband, Raymond (Jon Bernthal), is so hard to watch. In the premiere, he was such an ass, and thus impossible to like. He kept yelling at Kat, blaming her for being struck by lightning (which was indeed her fault, but common, he shouldn't be thinking that), and he'd been a useless bum since he got fired.
While Kat tried to say good bye the entire episode, Raymond kept trying to say hello. We did get to see the chemistry that existed between this pair ignite, sending Kat into Raymond's arms and causing the tomatoes to grown, though it was not enough for me to want to see them reunite. Even when Darryl gave Raymond his job back, and Raymond promised Kat he'd change, I could not wish it. After all, it's nice when a relationship works when there are no problems, but when it crumbles like that in the face of adversity...
And so, as these ladies grow on me, and their powers grow as well, they did finally do something really big. The angry glares of three women sent Gus (the would-be rapist) off the scaffolding in the town square to his death. And though they killed someone, I couldn't really feel that badly about it.
How about you? Are you enjoying Eastwick?
