I shall apologize for my late post, I am recovering from being sick AND being in a wedding, so, you understand, I am sure.
We get a lot of Michael Mancini this week, which I'm not complaining about really, but it just wasn't as awesome as I want it to be. That is pretty much how I feel about every episode of this show, so I won't blame the good Dr. for it. So what did we learn about our illustrious cardiac specialist this week?
-He's married to Bruce Willis's ex-girlfriend, Brooke Burns, who is a beautiful woman, but for some reason really freaks me out. Her face has haunted my nightmares since the first time I saw it. So needless to say, I am not enthused about this development.
-He's controlling and weird with David (telling Lauren he has to report how he got all beat up to him AS SOON as she knows) yet knows the dude is some kind of jewel/art thief and seems to be pretty cool with it.
-Has a weakness for crazy redheads. (But who doesn't on this show?!)
-Has son with freaky face wife, wife doesn't seem to be to into the kid. So they're both good parents! No wonder his other kid is an art thief! That's aiming high with these people's parenting techniques! At least thieving art takes some skills!
This week, Michael had the misfortune to meet with Sydney's insane possible daughter, Violet. I know Violet is insane, and I have to admit I am getting that from Ashlee Simpson-Wentz's performance...but I think she's playing it a tad...campy shall we say?
So now Violet is going to destroy Michael with their sex tape. I have to imagine that if freaky face Brooke Burns knows her husband at all, she knows he's cheating on her at every opportunity. Bummer for her if not.
Two more things about Violet:
-Faking a heart problem with Red Bull? How is she not the murderer?!
-It is gross that now Sydney has done Micheal's son and Michael has done Sydney's daughter. Now if Violet just does David a disgusting circle of life will be complete.
So we know Michael is Sydney's former husband/lover, David's dad, Violet's conquest, AND he is Lauren's boss! What a small world the people of Melrose Place live in. Do you think he was ever like, "Oh weird Lauren you live in MP? I used to live there too! Crazy!" They probably didn't talk about it, he seems pretty serious at work.
So Lauren's still ho-ing it up, and is apparently up for some paid orgies (to prove she doesn't have a "versatility problem" as Kimber the madam puts it), but is not up for being caught by David. Are these two kind of into each other? Possibly. I kind of can't be bothered to care though, because two weeks ago it seemed like the little thief and Ella were into each other, so who knows. They are just throwing stuff against the wall and seeing what sticks at this point.
As for the Ella/Jonah/Riley triangle all I really have to say about it is, Ella is awesome, Riley is annoying. I loved it when Ella actually gagged when Jonah and Riley were being all cutesy together. I do not get why every dude, gay or straight, who meets Riley is so completely charmed by her. Jonah's cute though, I have to agree on that.
No movement on the "Who killed Sydney" plot by the way. I guess we got that out of the way last week with all the "Maybe it was Ella!" stuff.
For "Next Week" I'm going straight to my notes: "riley kisses auggie? weird. auggie yells crazy style."

I'm not sure why but I'm loving Melrose. I agree though they are a little too all over the place and a little too bring something up and then oops where'd it go? Like Jane. She had something on everyone one minute and then she's gone. We'll talk more this weekend!
Can't wait to see you this weekend! Melrose is actually getting a lot of great reviews, I don't know what it is about it, it just isn't drawing me in like I want it too! I spied on the CW site that Jo is going to be on soon though, and I did love her on O.G. Melrose Place.
