I thought it was another good episode. And dare I say it...it was giving quirky housewives show.
Erika vs Daisy is really shaping up to be one of those ridiculously funny Housewives feud. Moreso because Daisy is bringing it on herself. No one wants to be around someone who complains as much as she does. And it was Erika's birthday? Why would she? And the added tea of knowing her and Sai fell out in the past over that very thing should be a sign to her. But of course, she is not self-aware.
Speaking of self-awareness, not a good look, Carole. And by that, I am talking about the continuing thread of her vs Sai. And her making last week's drama with her name into something that it wasn't with Sai. I am seriously starting to side-eye. Because someone so intelligent AND an author should be able to observe optics.
This one also had individual scenes that I really liked. I was surprised to see Jessel's mom and we got some insight into things and the dynamic between her and Pavit. Then you had Daisy with her much more intriguing sister. Erika with her husband and bits of her birthday party. And the dog charity event. And the girls were interacting with each other. Sad there was so little Devyn though.
I also respect that the episode did its own thing so well that I found that Daisy vs Sai had not at all been resolved from last week. So that made Sai being the cliffhanger so delicious.
DAISY. I no longer like Daisy. I feel that I should make that clear. That said...just like Erin before her...I can however see her dynamic within the group and I can't say her hateful side is not giving. She has her history and drama with Sai. She has her slow burn feud with Erika now. This week we saw her working on a charity and was introduced to her sister and there is already some drama/tension there due to the backstory of her sister leaving her rich marriage for a younger guy. She's A LOT. I guess she's love-to-hate because every time she gets egg on her face (finding out Erika didn't invite her, but everyone else was; everyone talking about the birthday party IN FRONT OF HER), I hollered. DESERVED.
JESSEL. I respect so much that while her vs Erin has not really been resolved at all, the two of them can be at an event and NOT fight. It was refreshing. I also loved that we saw her mother. I guess it has been a minute since she was popped up that I noticed. And it gave some more insight into things with Jessel and Pavit.
SAI. Got more or less a rest for the most part this episode except for the ending. Which of course...good cliffhanger.
HAILEY. The plot thickens. Well okay it doesn't, but I raised an eyebrow when I saw she had a house manager. WHY is that?
ERIKA. GO, GIRL!!!! Daisy has come for her and come for her and come for her. After last week, why would Erika want a Debbie Downer around her on HER BIRTHDAY? She did the right move in my opinion. And being messy like a housewife by inviting the other ladies. REEEALLY messy by talking about it with the ladies the next day as if Daisy isn't standing right in front of her. lol. I'm surprised Daisy didn't try to reach for a moment with her thirsty self. Meanwhile, I loved her advertising that restaurant and interacting with her husband a bit more. I live for her slightly (and it's always slightly) showing off her wealth. A good addition that continues to grow as well.
CAROLE. While I don't hate Carole, her comments are really and truly starting to get more and more pointed with Sai. That just makes me want to get us to the reunion (filming soon) as soon as possible to see Sai vs Carole over what I am sure Sai is seeing on the show and aftershow. Cuz Carole is painting a picture that I am not liking. Meanwhile, I guess karma got her (like it got Daisy with the not getting inviting) by the random person that yelled Einstein Files at her, breaking that 4th wall of her scene with Erin. Hehe.
ERIN. NOW, ABE!!! Last week, it was how buff you looked in that shirt. This week, it was a tank top. You are really showing off that you have been working out, haven't you? Hehe. But seriously, I didn't like the talk between her and Abe. It turned out the main reason for the explosion was a cut scene. Which made me go why? Last week was a supersized episode that did a great job building up to the moment between Daisy and Sai. They could have used it to also build up to the moment with Erin and Abe, too since that party was already messy enough and could have used even more messiness. A wasted opportunity, Production. That said...Erin kept it pretty light this week and gave good comic relief when Daisy realized she was not invited to the birthday party.
Looking forward to this week's showdown between Daisy and Sai and Daisy and Erika.
