Hi, welcome to Bitch Slap. This is Rachel Fisher. Hi, this is Desi Jettiken. And this is Melrose Place, season four, episode three, Blind Ambition. We got two great Matt episodes in a row. Wow, Matt is going off in these episodes. And I'm talking about three and four, we're going to record four after this, but... I think so far, season four has been great for Matt overall, because he's fat up. He's sick of everyone's shit, and that's his sweet spot. And he's finally getting good storylines. Yes, I agree. I still would like him to have a storyline where he's like devious and doing something to screw over someone at Melrose Place. I agree. But he is really going off here. Yeah, so how does this episode begin? Oh, Billy is buttoning Allison's shirt for her. Okay, so Billy and Allison are at Jane's apartment because Allison's still living there. And pretty much every establishing shot of Melrose Place, we get like, it's a construction. Yeah, it's like workmen hauling a beam or something. It's going to be like that for a while. And Billy's like, "Elfen, you're not wearing your glasses." And she's like, "They're just getting the little cumbersome, her shades." Yeah, those aren't even glasses, those are shades. And then he's like, "Oh, you're at your button." She needs help buttoning her shirt, so he helps. And then he's like, "Are you going to the D&D party?" And she's like, "I don't know. I don't want to be like bumping into walls, it'll be so embarrassing." And that's when Brooke walks in and she's like, "Oh, so now you're dressing her." And then Amanda walks in shortly after that and sees that like this little tension. Why does she come in? Just like everyone's. No one's like, they're all basically like just, it's a free for all. Because everyone's apartments or half of them don't have apartments. Yeah. So it's like they're just roommates now. Everyone's just feels like very comfortable walking in and out unannounced in everyone's spaces right now. Brooke, Billy and Brooke Lee for work. And Amanda says to Allison, "She got the ring that you seem to have gotten the in sickness and in health part." Yeah. I mean, this was a highly erotic shirt buttoning. Yeah. It was like, I can't explain it exactly, but it was almost like he was unbuttoning her shirt. And he kind of grazed at the waistband of her skirt. It was a little too delicate of a buttoning. Yeah. I just feel like, wouldn't you say to her, you missed a button and she could redo it by feel? I just feel like it was like, I don't know. He saw those titties after her fall in the shower, her alleged fall. And she definitely did that on purpose. Of course. Yeah. Of course. And so Allison smiles at this. She's loving it. After the opening credits, we're at Richard's house because he's in bed rolling around with Jane in the morning. He's all mopey and he feels really guilty that his wife, Mackenzie Hart, is dead and that they're just like moving on business as usual and also pretending that she's not dead. That's still so crazy to me. Like if she's a remotely famous designer, how are they getting away with this? Like no one at work is like, where's Mackenzie? I mean, like there's, yeah, there's a lot to be asked about this. But also I just don't buy that this is as big of a company as they they're acting like it is. I mean, clearly not, right? Because wouldn't depress if this was like a real design house, wouldn't people like be asking a little more questions? Just like the people who work at the office, even just the people. No one's asking anything. You're like, yeah, she's like in the hospital from a bomb explosion or she's in New York. But obviously that couldn't last too long where I, yeah. So he, she, Jane says, I hope that means you don't regret getting involved with me. He doesn't regret it because he says it feels different with her. He's like, you know, you were really, this reminds me of my relationship with Mackenzie. And that's why I asked her to marry me. And Jane says, oh, Richard, we need to focus on the company. Jane and Matt are both like feeling themselves for some reason. It's more revolting with Jane because she's truly evil and some of these instances in my opinion. We're unethical. I'm that's just finally like standing up for himself and he's acting out in a way that like we're giving him leeway on because he's been trampled on so much during this series. Right. But with Jane, it's sort of like, why are you acting so craven back at Melrose, Joe stops by Jake's and he's hung over. Right. So this is supposed to be like right after he had that drunken thing with her in the back room at shooters. Well, he was like crying. He was like, I killed my brother. Right. He's like the next day because he's like hung over from that because he was wasted, I guess, because he was like getting drunk to get over the fact that his brother is dead. I missed that, Jake already. I do too. The truck. Jake was was fun. He needs to grieve some more. They have a moment and they start kissing and did you notice Joe's nails? No. She's got long. Did she always have long nails? I I've never noticed. Well, I feel like these are new because I've never noticed these nails before. She doesn't seem like a long nail gal. Now granted they were a neutral color. Okay. They were like sheer neutral, but they were long and square tipped and I was shocked. That is shocking because she seems like someone who would keep them closely cropped and buffed. Yeah. She doesn't even polish them unless it's a special occasion. Yeah. Because she knows her photo equipment. Yeah. She's got to hit those buttons. Yeah. She needs short nails for that. Of course, Joe has to ruin the moment. She's like, Jake, maybe we shouldn't do this. Ugh. They're so irritating. She's like, maybe we're just meant to be friends. Okay. So we're going to have to do this for however long it takes. At the psych ward, Kimberly's still wearing that yellow gown that hopefully they're changing it out every day because that thing looks smelly. Yeah. And Peter stops by and she's like in hell. I mean, the funny thing about all of this is Peter's trying to convince her to go over the insanity defense and she's obviously clearly insane. Yeah. Like it's just like this funny, it's like they're not singing it or something. Yeah. It's like he wants her to do this like performative over the top insanity. I don't, dude. I don't know. I don't know. He's like coaching her. He's like Kimberly. We need you to act really crazy. So why don't you do like the classic crazy things like pretend like you hear voices. Right. Like you're a doctor. Why are you giving her like TV movie versions of crazy? She's like Kimberly, if we pull this off, we can get you into an exclusive sanitarium. And then we can petition to get you out by saying actually she's saying, you know, this scheme is crazy because we still haven't gotten an explanation why he's doing this. Well, no, I'm not regardless of that. The idea that this would work for someone who committed like domestic terrorism is crazy, that they'd be like, let's get her in a cushy rehab facility, let's send her to promises. And then while she's there, we're going to be like, oh, actually she's sane. So then she'll get out and no one will give a shit that she blew up a building. Right. It's like there's not even any timeframe where he's like, look, after two years, we'll act like you got treated like something, right? Like, no, it's not reasonable at all. It's not like, hey, this might take five years. It might take 15 years, but at least you won't be in prison. Yeah. It's like, I don't think you could be like, ha, ha, full Jew, like a week later. And then the courts are like, ah, damn it. It's too late now. Wow. We can't, we can't charge her with this anymore. No takeybacks. Yeah. Like, yeah, so she's like, Peter, I'm starting to remember things about the explosion. There was a man and he controlled me and he told me what to do. No, I don't remember. Did we know his name is Henry at this point? Or did we learn that in like the next episode? No, we don't know his name because you and I had been wondering, we just call him the man. But yeah, we do finally get a name. We finally get a name in the next episode, but we're still going to call him the man for the sake of this one. And she's explaining that he controlled her and told her what to do and that he was very real. Again, she's like, but I'm not crazy. Yeah. And Peter's like, this is good. Keep going with that. Let's say the part about not being crazy. Matt corners Paul in the bathroom at the hospital. I can't believe they're even allowed to be like in the same vicinity as each other. This is, I just, I feel like Matt would have been not put on a leave of absence at the very least. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy. And that nobody in his circle is even like, do you think he did it? Or wouldn't the doctor, I mean, I know he's like a piece of shit, but technically, I wouldn't people be like, why is he here? My wife was killed by this guy. I wouldn't even show up to work like this is crazy. So yeah, he corners Paul in the bathroom and he's like, I got a letter from your wife. I actually just found it because my apartment was exploded. So I like just got my mail right now and it turns out your wife mailed me this letter, the day that she died, warning me about you and saying that like she thought that we were both being used by you and that you were going to kill her. And Paul's like, Oh, really? He's playing a cool. Yeah. And he's like, and Matt's like, yeah, but I haven't told anyone about the letter, not even my attorney because I love you. I never stopped loving you and I know that you killed Carol and I know that you set me up, but I, but like I want to be with you. And then Paul laughs and he's like, you're pathetic. And then Matt's like, okay, but what should I do about this letter? And he says, who cares? I didn't kill her. You did besides whoever believes someone like you. And then he leaves the bathroom and that's when Matt pulls out a tape recorder that's just like been chilling in his back pocket. Yeah, it's just like, it's like that old little tape recorder with the mini tapes. Yeah. Just like he had it pressed. Yeah. He had it recording in his jeans pocket. He pulls it out like he was trying to, um, to get him on tape confessing. And the crazy thing is he thinks this is good, but I was like, he didn't do anything. This makes him look really bad and yeah, he goes, yeah, we'll talk more about that later. Sydney is answering phones at Burns Mancini. I can't believe they have patience. They have a lot of patience. Also this place looks like a med spa. I mean, the whole thing is just like, doesn't make sense because they literally just got the office. They're, they're overloaded with patience, like it's just like the whole business is crazy to me. Is there like a serious word of mouth from people who were formerly patients at Wilshire Memorial who's like, do you know those like hot, sleazy doctors that treated us? They were both in prison. Yeah. Like seriously, like both of them, why would anyone go to these doctors that they're only successful because you get no choices when you go to a hospital. Right. Yeah. They would somewhat, yeah, they have this like insane word of mouth at Wilshire Memorial. The Beverly Hills doctors. The hot doctors. Oh my God. Now they have their own practice. Sydney gives Peter his messages and she's like, oh and also like the strength that you hired to treat Kimberly called and she's like, does Michael know you're spending company money on that nut job? And he's like, stay out of it, Sydney, it's none of your business. Back at Melrose, construction continues and Allison is hanging around Jane's apartment and Brooke enters and she's like, I thought I'd take advantage of the fact that Billy's in the shower to have a chat with you. And she's like, this poor little blind girl act is getting tired. I'm not going to stand by and let you sink your hooks into Billy. And by the way, you can't come with us to the D and D party tomorrow. So you're going to have to find your own way. And then to add insult to injury, Brooke knocks over Allison's little coffee setup on the counter. Yeah. She just, she shoves it right off the counter. It's like all these plastered Jane by her like plastic plates. I think so because Allison was talking earlier about how like, yeah, I've had this new system for making coffee is like, I set up everything the night before and I know where everything is. And then Brooke comes in just like knocks everything down and we hear these like plastic, plastic cups go. It's so sad. So Matt's at his lawyer's office and he's playing in the tape and he's like, this is incredible. Right? Like Paul almost took the bait. I'm just like mad because it was obvious. It was so obvious that he's like trying to get him to say something. I mean, in that scene, yeah, and he doesn't take the he's like on to him. The worst thing he says is like, who's going to believe you? Like that could be in anything now. Yeah. And she's like, Matt, this is inadmissible and also it makes you look worse. This is more incriminating to you. And Matt just loses it. He turns bright red and he starts screaming and she's like, you need to leave the investigating to me. And he says, wrong. He does turn really red. Like this Doug Savon gets red when he's really angry and it is kind of funny. And she's like, you need to chill out and not lose your cool. And he goes, I already lost it. Yeah. He has no cool. And she's like, fine, I'm going to contact the public defender's office because I can't defend someone who is deliberately damaging their case and he's like, wait, yeah, that's not good. And he's like, I know I've worked in social services long enough to know what I want a public defender on this a murder trial. Back in Melrose, Joe is like, Matt, you need to call your old lawyer back. And he's like, I can't right now. And he's rifling around her apartment looking for the yellow pages. He's like looking for the phone book so he can find a new lawyer. He's about to call Saul Goodman, just like so sad. And Amanda stops by to let them know that Matt's apartment will be ready in two weeks. Oh, and she's like, and Matt, I heard about your problem and I'm really sorry about that. She wants to let him know that she's not icked out by a killer living there. Yeah, she says, she says to him. And while some people may feel uncomfortable with your presence here, you have my full support. I mean, it's not like you're a serial killer. Those could have been a crime of passion. She's she's a restorative justice. She's like, this person will not harm again. They should be out. The phone rings and it's Paul calling from a payphone and he tells Matt he wants to talk. He says, why don't you come to my house tonight and bring the letter and Matt's like, it's on. Got him. Let's take a quick break here. Hey, prime members.

At the hospital, the shrink that Peter hired is observing Kimberly with him while he's explaining her condition and he's like making it sound really bad. He's like she, she could have schizophrenia. She could have multiple personality disorder. She could have bipolar. She could have exploding head syndrome. He's just like naming all of these things that she could have. Right. He's like whatever sticks for you. Yeah. I actually think he makes it worse for Kimberly. Yeah. It looks sus. Yeah. He's just like over, he's like going over the top with all of this and this doctor clocks this right away because Kimberly is also like pretending to talk to herself, like whispering to herself, strapped to a bed. She looks like she needs an exorcism. Yeah. And the shrink and Peter step outside and she's like, uh, she's faking it. That's bad acting. And Peter's like, fuck you. He immediately flips on her. Yeah. So you're not even a doctor. Yeah. Head shrink. At Mackenzie Hart, Jane has hired Joe to do photography and she's bragging to Joe. She's like, I'm basically running the company now so I can hire whoever I want. And then Joe's like, really? Why didn't know this? What about Mackenzie? What happened to her? She doesn't know Mackenzie died. I guess not. It's crazy. And she's like, we're keeping her status quiet. The status. But the truth is she's dead. Yeah. This is wild. And Joe's like, is this ethical? I like that Joe sort of like is taking it so far back though that she might not take the job for a second. Joe, you don't have a job. Yeah. Just take the job, Joe. You need this job. And she's like, it's just good business, Joe. Why don't you take the job and leave the ethics to me, which I don't have any. At night at Melrose, Joe returns home and Matt has left a note. He's like, I'm going to Paul's house. Don't call the police. Joe's like, she's really going through it today, right with her friends. She's like, got all these balls up in the air and Jake is there. He's like, has some groceries. And she tells Jake, she's like, I better call his attorney at Paul's house. That is like pretending he's really glad that Paul called him. He's like, oh, Paul, I'm so horny for you. I can't wait to reconnect. And that's when Paul pulls a gun on him. He doesn't waste two seconds. The gun is out. It's just out. And he's like, I want that letter. And then Matt immediately is like, well, there isn't one. I just said that so I could get you to confess. And that also turned. He's like, he didn't even bother. He didn't even pretend for a second. And then Paul rips open Matt's shirt and finds the recorder tape his chest with scotch tape. Like it's a police wire. Like why? Why did he put it in his chest? He could have just had it in his pocket. Why did this is like a chunky, bulky, how did it even stay up with scotch tape on his hairy chest? On anyone's, even a smooth chest, how did this fucking stay up? I just don't know why he would put it there. It's so crazy. I love Paul's like, what is this? Amateur hour? Do you think you're wearing a wire? This isn't a wire. I mean, this is incredibly embarrassing on Matt's, but I do have to agree with Paul here. Like, at this point, I'd be like, just kill me. This is humiliating. This is such a bad plan, like why not put in the back of your jeans or like, this is just so embarrassing. Like he didn't even try to be like, Oh, I actually didn't bring it because I was worried you'd do something like this. Like, do you know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He says, what is this? Amateur hour? This thing isn't hooked up to the police. And Paul takes the recorder and he goes, Hello, Hi, this is Paul Graham. I killed my wife Carol and I set up Matt. And that's when the cops bust down the door. Yeah, that was like, and the five of them came pouring in. No, is this because Joe called the attorney and she called the police? Yes, because the attorney is there. Right. Yeah. The attorney is also there. Paul is still holding the gun, but now he's like trying to act like Matt was an intruder. But then Matt manages to flip the whole situation simply by holding up his tape recorder and going, he killed his wife and I have the taped confession. And then Paul points his guns at the police because he's like, well, that's it. It's over. Yeah. My God, one option. And he points his gun at the cops and then they shoot him and he goes flying. I mean, what was Paul's plan to confess in the tape recorder, kill Matt and then erase the tape, I guess? And that'd be like, shit. Now I have a whole new set of problems. Also, wouldn't the cops like tackle Matt if he was holding up something that like they couldn't tell if that was like a weapon either, maybe this whole thing is weird and it happens very fast and they'd all be like, it's like, as soon as he's like, wait, I have this tape recorder. They're like, oh, well, that's a horse of a different color. Yeah, I have no idea. So Paul is dying on the floor and Matt and the police are like crouched down beside him as he's dying. And Matt's like, tell them, Paul, tell them what you did. And Paul like struggles for a minute. He's like, come on, Paul, you're going to die anyway. Just like tell them. Just spend the rest of my life in prison and Paul's like, he's right, I killed my wife and I set him up. Now, I've had to wonder, is this legally clear, this is legally clear, Matt, because I just feel like, wouldn't you always try to find someone dying to kind of absolve you of your crime? Does he? It makes no sense. Yeah. And the cops like crouched down, like I'm taking this down. This is official. This is so official. That worked out. It worked out. So this whole thing worked out so well for Matt. Matt has like tears in his eyes. He's like, yay. I'm not going to. There's no like follow up afterwards. No, it's like instantly thrown out. There's not even an investigation into like how Matt ended up being held at gunpoint by Paul. Nothing. No, it's crazy. He's like, well, he confessed. That's it. At the D&D party, Allison is sitting by herself at a table and Billy drags Brooke over to the table. And he's like, Elle, then we've been looking all over for you. How'd you get here? And she's like, Oh, I took a cab and Brooke is like so irritated. Yeah, she didn't, she didn't count on that. Right. Like obviously Allison could figure it out. And he's like, Brooke, I'm going to ask Allison to dance because it's and the right thing to do. It'll be good for her. And Amanda pops her little head in and she's like, I think that's a great idea. So Billy leads Allison out onto the dance floor as Brooke is left behind glaring at them. And that's when Allison regains her vision. I love this because she's like, you know, looking over Billy's shoulder and Brooke is pouting. And I just feel like you wouldn't do that. If you knew a blind person could see you, like Brooke is doing that in the comfort knowing that Allison can't see her. Oh, yeah. She would never let her in on that feeling. Oh, yeah. And she's like very dramatically pouting, but that's, but Allison regains her vision right as she like looks at Brooke and sees her all but her. No, she's totally just like, but then she like makes eye contact with Brooke. And she has to avert her eyes, which makes it looks look like she can see. Well, Allison is not very good at pretending to be blind, but I do love we've talked about this last time. They have these new go to commercial black and white moments. And this one was Allison's eyes regaining their vision. It's opening in slow motion, opening a little wider. Yeah. The next day at Melrose, I keep writing the construction, it's still going on. We see that literally every time we go back to Melrose place. They always start the scene that way because they get it. They have to remind us like, we know this is, we know there's like a hammer sound. We want you to know that this is a huge undertaking building this complex back, but we're working on it. Yeah. Allison's talking to Jane about how she has her sight back. And Jane is like, Allison, I don't think you should say anything to Billy. D.V.S. and Allison is like, are you sure? And she's like, you need to hang out with Billy. And I don't think Brooke will allow that unless you're blind. This is when Allison should have put the shades back on. Yeah. Because that would have saved her. Yeah. Because she should have been like my eyes are sensitive. Yeah. It's irritating me. So I need the sunglasses back. Allison tells Jane that she's going to tell Billy tonight that she can see again. Melon's going off in the background. At the hospital, the staff is having a welcome back mat party. This seems like a little inappropriate. They also have a sign that someone made really quickly. But it's kind of like two people died because Matt banged this doctor. Yeah. I just feel like let's quietly get back to work. Well... Do you know what I mean? I can understand how everyone's excited Matt's back at work and he's not going to prison. It just seems a little jolly considering how grim this whole situation was. Right. Well, Dr. Hobbes shows up and he's like, "Hey Dr. Hobbes, just FYI, all my criminal charges were dropped." So just like forget all those times I tried to beat up Paul in the cafeteria. Right. But like we're good, right? And Dr. Hobbes is being very cold and he's like, "Matt, you were involved with a staff member and now two people are dead. This hospital's reputation is being dragged through the mud." Again, I feel bad because this is only the first time that Matt has dragged the hospital's reputation through the mud. And other doctors like Michael and Kimberly have been able to do it several times. Yeah. If anything, he's covering things up to help the hospital. With the blood alcohol? Yeah. Yeah, he helped. So he fires Matt. He's like, "You're fired." This is your going away party. Your sheet cake from Ralph's. So sad. Enjoy it. At D&D, Brooke is doing filing for Amanda in her office because that's what she's been relegated to do. She has this little secretary job now and she's really bitter about it. And Amanda's just lecturing her like, "Well, Brooke, you're just going to have to learn to work your way up from the bottom to the top and you need to have a better attitude about it." And she says, "Oh, and by the way, that cabinet is off limits. Don't go in there. Why would you ever say that to Brooke? Why wouldn't you just be like, "That cabinet sticks?" Or just like, "Don't say anything. Don't say anything." Yeah. Or, "Why have that cabinet at work, period?" What a dumb ass. That night at Cucina, the restaurant, Richard and Jane are having dinner with Joe and Jake. And Jane's wearing a slutty pink halter dress, so it looks great. And Jane tells Richard that Joe is a really good photographer. And Jake is so rude about this. He's like, "Wow, Joe, how'd you ever land this job?" That seems kind of lucky, at least you know someone that could have hired you. Right. It's kind of just being a little loose and Joe takes offense. Yeah. Like, he does basically insinuate like, "Well, you're lucky you know Jane. Otherwise, you'd never get hired for this." And it's true. And Richard is like, "I'm sure she'll be very great, even though we already had a very talented person working for us in that department." Yeah. The stinner is really awkward and really fast. Yeah. Like, Richard's rude to Jane and Jake is rude to Joe at this dinner. And so after dinner, Joe is scolding Jake for suggesting that she's not qualified for this job. And they're bickering. And he's like, "Hey, I'm under a lot of pressure. You have some new flashy job. And as shooters, I got shooters, it's going to shit." Jake's always struggling with his businesses. Even though shooters is always packed, "Dude, shooters is probably making so much money. And if it's not, it's because he's not managing it correctly." And she's like, "Jake." And he's like, "I just don't want to lose you to your new career. He's jealous." And then she's like, "Well, maybe we need to make a commitment." And it's official. They're official again. All this bickering for nothing, they're boyfriend, girlfriend. Also, this kind of comes out of nowhere to me in a way that Joe wants this. I don't know. I feel like I'd have to wait a little bit. I'd be like, "Get your-- my brother's dick was just in you." Yeah. Like, you need to let that cool off for a bit. You need to let that completely-- the skin cells go away completely. The dickskin cells in her pussy need to completely be gone and flushed out. They need to shed. Yeah. Come on. You need to shed out of her. I agree. At Melrose, Allison walks up to Billie's apartment, but Billie is having a beer with Amanda while Brooke's at the store. And Amanda's talking to Billie. She's like, "Give me the tea," things with Brooke seem a little tense. What's going on there? Yeah. They're just shooting the shit about Billie's relationship. And Billie's been difficult with Brooke. And then Allison pauses. She doesn't enter the apartment. She just wants to lurk. It's like she's the invisible man now. Yeah. She can just-- everyone thinks she's blind. And then Amanda's like, "I mean, Allison almost ruined your wedding, and she's the reason that Brooke was demoted." And Billie's like, "Yeah, I don't know what I'm going to do about Brooke, but I'm not going to abandon Allison if she's blind or while she's still blind." Yeah. Which Allison's like, "Ugh, you got to keep that blindness going." Yeah. So she walks back down the stairs. She doesn't go to tell Billie that she can see again. From Mackenzie Hart, Richard tells Jane that he's going to cancel the spring line show. And she's like, "What the hell, Richard, why?" And he says, "You know, Jane, sometimes I think this company means more to you than I do." And he says that some of the staffers have been asking questions because of her aggressive behavior. They're like, "What's up with this bitch?" She's freaking everyone out. Who does she think she is? She apologizes and she swears she just wants the company to be successful. And then she takes off her jacket and she's naked underneath. This was like very out of nowhere. Well, imagine coming to the office naked under a coat and then you get into a fight with the guy. Like, I would just be like, "Okay, bye." Yeah. I'm out. You have to leave at that point, especially if like, that's really taking the gamble. You open your coat and you're naked underneath and the guy's still mad at you. And he's like, "Put your clothes back on." Right. Or he's just like, "Honestly, I just can't right now." I'm like a little, not in the mood. I would be so humiliated. I just would have, I mean, good for her, but I would have never taken the results. No. That's what comes to me. They look at you. You're disgusting. Get out of my office. Because even I was kind of like really like, "Jesus, Jane." No. She took a gamble with this one. And it worked. He's like, "God, Jane, I can't help it." I mean, luckily, men are pigs, so they start going at it. The next day at D&D, Brooke sneaks into Amanda's office while she isn't there and goes snooping. Because she needs to know what's in Amanda's secret cabinet. One thing I love about Brooke is when she's being sneaky, she's always smiling the whole time. Yeah. Like, she loves being sneaky. She's very much stage acting when she's being sneaky too. Yeah. It's like a child actor. A lot of big faces, a lot of like, just a lot of like great emoting here. Yeah. And so she's like looking around and she finds a key taped underneath a cabinet and opens this secret cabinet and inside is an envelope with an ID for Amanda Parisi, Miami, Florida. And it's Amanda, but why is her name Amanda Parisi and why does she have a Florida ID? Yeah. She nailed it. She got something good. She got something juicy. And clearly, Amanda doesn't want it to be seen or known. Right. Her cabinet, it's her secret cabinet, where secrets are imagine having that at your office. I'm still just so baffled. And then telling someone whatever you do, don't like that's just making them want to go in there. Why would she have that in her office? Why would she have that still period? Also, she knows Brooke is devious like that's established with Amanda Amanda knows this. Why don't you have that in your safe deposit box? I mean, I agree with what you said. Why even keep that shit because there really is no point. There's no point to having that shit. Anyway, Alison opens the door and is like Amanda and she's still pretending to be blind. Right? This is so good. So Brooke sees Alison open the door and she's silent. She doesn't want Alison to know that she's in Amanda's office without her there. And Amanda, Alison says, is anybody there? And then she closes the door and Brooke says, nobody you blind bitch. At the courthouse, they're doing Kimberly's case, like trying to figure out where to put her and Sydney and Michael have showed up and Peter's like, what the hell are you doing here? And they're like, we want to see her fry and Kimberly is like, and Sydney's like, yeah, she's crazy. Yeah, they're just there to watch the shit show. Kimberly sees the man again. He's in the reflection of the silver pitcher, like a silver water pitcher on the table. The lawyer's table. It's like a fancy silver pitcher. Why do they have a silver pitcher? Isn't it usually like a glass car off? Yes. Do they have a sterling silver pitcher antique? No, because they needed a mirror. She sees, she sees him. They borrowed this from a Haley Armstrong's boat. Yeah. That's his water bottle. Yeah. She sees the man and he's like, Kimberly, Kimberly, what's this guy's accent? I don't. It's also sort of like out of a genre, like a, do you know what I mean? It's like, it's like stage acting kind of like a evil man or something. I don't know what his accent is, but it's kind of like, I'm a bad guy. He's like an evil hobo. Yeah. It's like bad guy. Like, I don't know, he's like going to tie you to the train tracks. You just hear that voice and you're like, that guy is shady as fuck. Yeah. He looks really, he looks, he looks scary. Yeah. You look if you saw him, you'd walk across the street. For sure. Yeah. But it's just hearing him too. I'm like, that voice is bad too. He's really putting it on. Yeah. Absolutely. So he's taunting her and he's like, I'm never leaving you, Kimberly. And she, the Kimberly's lawyer in this moment is like, we're pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. And that's when Michael stands up and he goes, excuse me, your honor, this woman is not insane. Why did he do this? It's like, it's like, it's not a wedding where you get to stand up and say your piece. And the judge is like, order in the court, this is unusual. Why are you? Excuse me, sir. And then the, but the man is still taunting Kimberly in the glass vase. And so she leaps up and lunges at Michael because he's like, kill them all, kill them. And she lunges and then she's restrained and she's dragged away screaming. So Michael's like, Hmm, Peter's like, thanks. Yeah, Peter walks up to Michael and Sydney after she's hauled off. And he's like, ha, ha, see Kimberly is insane. And that means she can get out eventually. He like just tells their, the whole plan to them. Right. And they, and it's like once again, Sydney and Michael are so dumb. They don't realize that they created the pro, that would be the exact opposite of what they wanted to do, like, or wanted to happen. Yeah. At Jake's, some lady stops by. I groaned when I saw this, because I remembered the storyline so bad. This bitch always has her mouth hanging open. Yeah. She's always like slack jawed. She's just so boring. Yeah. She's like, Hey, Jake, I'm Shelly Hanson. And your brother's ex wife was the first we're hearing about this. Look, the Hanson family is a bust. The only good one was Stella, his mom. She was fun when she came. Oh, you mean, out of outside of J. Yeah, outside of Jake, like, yeah. In terms of characters, the mom was the only fun person in his family. Right, these, the brother and this girl are ex wife or whatever. They're just useless. They're boring. And even the woman that he got pregnant was a drip. Oh, right. Yeah. I agree. She was kind of lame loser too. No. And it's like, the thing that sucks about that is like, no, trashy people would have been, they would have all been great characters in real life. But these people are trashy, but boring. Yeah. It's like, what's the point? Mom at least had character and she had like bedazzled acid wash denim jacket with friend. Well, she also benefited because it was like, was it season one or two? Yeah. So season one. We were desperate for anything juicy. Yeah. So she's like, I'm Shelly and she's looking for Jess and Jake's like, well, Jess is dead. Sorry to break it that way. And then she starts crying and immediately hugs Jake and he looks confused. He's like, I'm sick of my family showing up all the time, unannounced. Yeah. But he's a real fucking moron for like indulging her at all. No, because it's basically like she's hugging him and stepping inside his house. First of all, she looks like Jess. They have like a very similar face. That night in this psych unit of the prison where Kimberly is, she's just like in this maximum security prison, right for the criminally insane. And she's hearing voices. And then Peter stops by this man is at this place at all hours. This is his full time job. Like, how is he always at the hospital? Don't they have visiting out or he's like, he's always at he's okay. This man is employed at Wilshire Memorial. He has his he just opened his own private practice. He has a thousand clients. He is so many clients on the books at Burns Manzini, but he has time to go downtown or outside of LA because this thing isn't just like in West Hollywood, this prison. And like he's literally always there. He's always there. And he's just showing up at like 10 p.m. Dude, he's there in the morning. He's there at night. He's there in the afternoon. He's there every scene. They act like it's a wing on Wilshire Memorial. No way he's there, but we know it's a prison because there's like the watch tower. No, it's crazy. The guard tower we see in the establishing shot. Also, even someone's lawyer or doctor would not be allowed in at all hours. He would have requirements, but he peters there and he stops by to see Kimberly and she's like, he's like, Kimberly, your performance was outstanding today. And he's saying this in front of the orderly. I was like wondering that's like the orderly can talk thinking of say things that you say. He just walks in the orderlies, like holding the door open, just standing in the doorway. And Peter's like, Kimberly, you, you were a fabulous, fabulous acting job at court today pretending to be insane. I can't wait to bust you out of this joint and the week you'll be out of here when we tell them you're not insane. And she's curled up in a ball and she's like, I don't want to see you. And then she attacks Peter and the orderly is like, she's nuts. Because if he didn't hear Peter say that she and that's where the episode ends. Yeah, so Matt's is wrapped up, well, this murder, the murder storyline is wrapped up. That was pretty fast. He got fired. He did get fired. We've been down this road before with Matt getting fired, but he's been at the hospital for a while now. He has, so that's, you know, that's not good for him. Yeah, it's just one thing after the other with Matt and Allison can see again. Yeah. So, and is she going to tell Billy or not? How long is she going to keep up the facade? We'll find out next week with episode four. Yeah. Bye. Bye. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Is this a good thing? Yeah. I'm going to tell you about this.
