geebsTV commentary:
Wilfred- What the eff, dick?! I mean, it was prolly for the best. And I think he told the truth, sort of. I mean, he said he wasn't ready for a relationship, he just didn't say everything, and that he's not ready because he's out of his friggin' mind. Still, it was sad to see Chloe cry, she looks like such a sweetie. I thought I was done with that after Smallville was dunzo! Heh, I will admit though, after hearing about the whole dating the cult leader thing, part of me thinks "child molester dater!" when I see her now.
Suits- Flashback ep! I'm amused Mike meeting Jenny and going down the route of taking tests for money happens to just coincide with when Harvey figured out what Hardeman was doing and his rise to senior partner.
In any case, lots of interesting reveals this ep. Am I making this up, or was there a scene first season where Mike figures Rachel comes from money and she denied it? But it turns out, her dad is some big shot lawyer in another firm. It was also interesting to see how the Jenny thing played out. Mike and Jenny definitely had chemistry almost immediately, and they make you think his jerk friend tried to get her by having her roommate ask him out, making it impossible for him to go after her. But, turns out, he wasn't that big a dick, and it was the roommate who asked him out on her own, but only because Mike demonstrated his big brain to her and she wanted him to take her LSATs. He was all offended, but caved once Faye started getting sicker and needed care that she couldn't afford. But yeah, before the roommate revealed she wanted him to take the test, I was wondering why she was totally cool with Mike and Jenny practically eye-fucking in front of her. I mean, Mike was definitely thought the roommate was hot, enough that he was all tongue-tied, but even they he was still incredibly flirty with Jenny.
Meanwhile, Harvey makes a deal with Jessica to become a senior partner if he figures out who's been embezzling money. At first, he thinks its Louis, but Jessica confronts him, and its obvious its not him. So she tears Harvey a new one for wasting her time, and since Harvey doesn't like to lose, he actually gets Louis to examine a sanitized version of the books to figure out the embezzler. Hardeman set Louis up, which is amusing given in the present, it seems he's siding with Hardeman because he thinks he has his back and Jessica doesn't.
Anyways, Jessica confronts Hardeman, and we know how that went already, he claims it was for his wife's cancer treatment. But thanks to some eavesdropping from Donna and some small talk with random chick who doesn't work there anymore, she figures out that Hardeman is having an affair with the chick. She tells Harvey, who does the whole blackmailing thing to get him out and make Jessica managing partner. She in turn makes him a senior partner, which is all great for him... except his dad dies.
Oh, and its weird because when Harvey had dinner with his real life wife last week, he acted like he was confused why he never got anywhere with her, and that the change she detected in him that turned her off was subtle. But this week, its pretty evident, she outright says she was offended that he didn't appropriately mourn his father and was already jumping into lawyer work!
Anyways, in the present, Harvey "surreptitiously" gets Mike to offer a sexual harassment lawsuit for the chick Hardeman was having an affair with to file (whom Jessica unceremoniously fired after he was booted out, because she didn't trust her), which Louis sees, and he tells Hardeman. Hardeman confront Jessica at her underhanded tactics, and she's all, Harvey did it on his own! Which is what the audience was led to believe. She dressed Mike down in front of everyone for that, which Rachel overhears, and she too is mad at Mike for using her.
But in the end, it turns out it was Harvey and Jessica's plan all along to have Mike be seen by Louis and they expected him to tell Hardeman? How did they know Louis would spot Mike? Wait, was it one of the past convos, did Louis say something about always going to that restaurant?
Degrassi- Poor Imogen! But at least she realizes she can't take her dad by herself and works with her mom to get him the help he needs.
And just when Dallas was proving to be a nice guy, he does a 180. I mean, I guess he felt like a fool over all this, thinking he had a chance with Katie, but then she ends up with Jake. I mean, Katie wasn't using him really, so its kinda a dick move for him to get the hockey team to trash the garden.
And aw, Becky and Adam are actually kinda cute. Becky is infatuated. Until Jenna reveals the whole trans thing, which still baffles me there are people who don't know. That's the kinda stuff that would spread through the grapevine rather fast, I think. In any case, I'm hoping it works out for them. I mean, I know some people don't like Becky because of her beliefs, but mostly Adam has had such a shitty track record with girls (Bianca who was all disgusted and threatened to kill him, Fiona the closeted lesbian who only wanted to be with Adam as a woman, and Katie whom Drew snaked away) it would be nice to see him get a girl for once. He even got shot once! He should have one good thing happen to him!
