The case should not have been complicated, but when a charming writer pokes his nose, asking questions and giving unnecessary suggestions, poor Jake somehow ended up in the middle of something he really didn't want to have any part in. I just hope he does get the $30 000 he was promised.
Victor Garber was terrific, of course, but we saw Garrison Steele from Jake's perspective. He said some hard truths about Jake's inability to be in a relationship, and also gave good reason for why Jake is constantly trying to get close to every woman he meets. He is fascinated by women, but is incapable of giving himself completely to one.
I continue to hold out hope for Jake and Nikki (Rachel Wilson). She was so sad when she watched him listening to Leslie (Krystin Pellerin) sing. She may have cut the ties, and decided to try to move forward without Jake, but it's because she knows he can't be the solid husband she wants him to be. It isn't because she doesn't want him to be that husband.
I was surprised that Leslie gave Jake another chance. Those two just don't seem to be properly matched to me. But what I really don't think I want to see happen is Leslie ending up with Jake's brother, who showed up at the end of the show. Man, Jake has issues with women and with his father and probably with most other things under the sun, but the distress coursing through him over the return of his brother was far worse than anything we've seen before.
What kind of trouble is Jake's brother going to get him into?
