Mr. Beck from the last episode is about to go out of town, but first he makes sure Peter knows he's already started making arrangements for a deal the two of them discussed offscreen. It seems to involve extremely conspicuous hired goons posting up at the jazz club being obvious, and given the look of them, Peter's regrets start up well before we have any idea what the scheme even is. Speaking of schemes involving people who lived at the condo in the marina: Coop is having a bad time with Lexi, ...

Peter's more committed than ever to his scheme to get Amanda back, even though Dr. Visconti does not agree with him that a recurring sex dream -- in which she starts by resisting Peter's advances only to relent almost immediately -- is prophetic. Elsewhere: you're never going to believe this, but Coop and Lexi's sham marriage is a problem from DAY 1. The first problem: Coop and Megan can't be cool about it at all. The second: neither Lexi nor Peter seems to remember he was the one who told her t...

It's not enough for Megan to spend her waking hours stressed out about Lexi's legal troubles and how easy it would be for Coop to solve them: she has to have extremely dramatic nightmares about them too! When Lexi herself fails to convince Coop with a practical argument delivered while casually stripping down to her slip, she realizes the only way her pitch has ANY shot of working is if it comes from Megan. Lexi's ex Peter wants to start courting Amanda immediately upon her return from the Domin...

Can Kyle stop Rory before he straight-up murders Amanda?!
Jul 03, 2023•38 min
Returning to the Dominican Republic to expedite her divorce from Kyle only reminds Amanda of how romantic her last trip there was, when she and Kyle were falling in love. Meanwhile, whatever scheme Rory has cooking seems to have sped up his timeline, so the smooth-talking gigolo routine needs to go into overdrive, too. Back in L.A., Kyle enlists Jennifer in his campaign to push Taylor into confessing her big secret about Christine, while Michael advises her against it. Michael, at least, seems t...

Coop brings Megan to Philadelphia for the last phase of his job interview. Will she elude Larner's clutches? Michael can't keep the secret of Taylor's pregnancy, and neither can Jennifer. Once Kyle finds out, will he and Michael be able to test its paternity without letting Taylor find out the truth? Peter's stress level goes so far through the roof that the hospital's psychiatrist lends Peter his cabin to chill out. Will he remain chill once Michael follows him there? Rory is still working his ...

Coop is still boring us all with talk of his big job in Philadelphia, and while Megan is still strongly considering joining him if he gets it, there's a problem: the head of the search committee is coming to town, and the restaurant where he wants to meet Coop and Megan happens to be in the hotel where Megan formerly worked. While this is weighing on Megan, her worst friend Jennifer pressures her to be more considerate of Michael, whose clinic is so deep in debt that he is openly considering bur...

Christine is still dead. Nick is still gone. And yet we're still hearing a lot about both of them. Amanda is so racked with guilt that she's taking it out on Kyle, whose attempts to bridge the gap between them all come out very hostile. Then Kyle gets a letter from Nick informing him that Taylor's dead, which she proves she is not by walking into the scene seconds later, but it still sends Kyle on an investigative journey into whom Christine had contact with in her last days, and why. Both the r...

Having accidentally killed Christine in the last episode, Nick springs into action with a cunning plan, and drags Taylor along: they're going to call a suicide note in to Amanda at the hotel where she and Kyle are staying on their wedding night, then leave Christine on the tracks so that her corpse will be obliterated past the point where any physical evidence of Nick's actions can be determined. And it works, particularly as regards Taylor's agenda in the larger plan, because Amanda tries to co...

Christine -- or should we say "Christine"? -- is ready to pull the plug on Operation Reset Kyle's Life, but Taylor and Nick have invested too much in it and simply will not allow that to happen. The next phase involves "Christine" confessing suicidal ideation to Peter so that he'll (a) commit her on a psych hold and (b) use all her professions of love to his own advantage with Amanda by telling Kyle and pushing him and Christine together. Unfortunately, Peter does only the first thing and very m...

So the last episode showed us that Christine was definitely alive; definitely wrote that letter years ago that Taylor apparently forgot about and had to go to Dallas to have Nick explain; and definitely was really injured in the war, she's also in cahoots with Nick, against Kyle. In this one, we're told that although money is apparently involved, and Christine doesn't feel great about her part in it, and this is also kind of a plan FOR Kyle, in the sense of rekindling his friendship with Nick? B...

The time has come for a midseason two-parter, and new characters are popping off. Having mooched some extra ER shifts from Peter, Michael meets a shady gentleman (how shady? His name is Spider), who encourages Michael to revive the shuttered medical clinic in his neighborhood. Much as we were expected to believe that Michael doesn't know how strip clubs work, we're also expected to believe he doesn't understand the quid pro quo implied. Meanwhile, with Mrs. Mancini still in town, Jennifer has to...

We join Jennifer just as she's absorbing horrifying news: Mia Mancini, mother to Jennifer and Michael, is coming for a visit -- just as her children's lives are falling apart! Michael has to do some fancy footwork to explain why he doesn't want to bring Mia to his office, but it works, and when Mia mistakes Billy for Craig, Jennifer just decides to run with it! Billy is more willing to play along than he might otherwise be since Sam is preoccupied: landing Jeff Baylor means committing to have he...

Once again, the medical practice is a flashpoint for drama. Peter can plainly tell that Lexi's father Thomas has no respect for him, because Thomas is not even pretending to hide it. (It's not like we can really say Thomas is WRONG to think Peter is bad news for his daughter, but since he much prefers Coop for her, it's not like his judgment is perfect.) Coop is keeping a close eye on Michael and Amber, noting their cohabitation and making sure Amber gets invited to a big reception the practice ...

Our A plot is a good old doctor roundup! Michael is using all his romantic tricks to lock down Amber; when she resists, he (rudely) assumes it's because she's embarrassed about her job and what his friends (who) will think of her, and (annoyingly) the show doesn't let her tell him she's rejecting him for any number of other very good reasons. When Megan dribbles some baloney about never having really dated, Coop suggests that they start their relationship over in a "courtship" mode. Bob, having ...

Amanda and Sam's crash site still hasn't been found, and Kyle is DETERMINED to locate it NO MATTER WHAT and REGARDLESS of whose actually experienced toes he steps on!!! (Billy is also there, kind of circling Kyle and yapping like that little dog in the old Looney Tunes cartoon.) Anyway -- spoiler? -- the ladies are located and treated for their injuries, and it turns out Amanda wasn't just whining about her back: it is seriously injured, to the degree that she may be paralyzed. (Or just have to ...

The GloveCo lawsuit is behind us...sort of: Michael is so bitter about having been cut out of the business for the obvious reasons that he uses his Chief of Staff position to forbid the glove's use in surgery by ANY hospital personnel. Coop hatches a plan to strip Michael of this authority, but it's going to require that Michael believe a woman who hates him also wants to bone. Hmmm, could it possibly work?! Peter is also an accessory to this plan, but he's got his own problems: Bob is back in t...

Having learned in the last episode that Lexi (a) has a problem with pills and (b) ran a guy over, Jennifer wastes no time putting her intel to use on Michael's behalf: she tells Coop she can get Lexi to release him from his alimony obligation if Coop will drop the lawsuit against Michael and turn over any relevant documents (which she still believes are fake anyway). Evidently, Coop is too focused on winning Megan away from Michael to think through all the implications, and agrees -- so it's too...

We've said a lot of hurtful things about Coop, because he is a bad character and we have assessed him accurately. But one of the smartest things we've ever seen him do is try to get Craig on his side in the glove lawsuit by showing him the hard evidence that proves Coop really did come up with the idea first. When Jennifer is present for Craig's deposition, where he truthfully testifies about it, she confronts Michael about what he may have gotten her into; Michael has her on side, but he's goin...

Peter confronts Lexi about the pills he found in her purse, which he went ahead and asked Coop about behind her back, and guess what: she feels betrayed! Fortunately, she's easily distracted by the project of redecorating not just the condo, but the offices of the Mancini Glove Company, too. Décor is the least of Michael's concerns: he's busy trying to convince Megan that she's extremely frail, and also that he was the one who kept a vigil during her coma, both of which require that he keep Coop...

After the previous episode's cliffhanger gets resolved, Amanda must do damage control, trying her very best to convince Kyle that she did NOT accept Eric's offer even though, yes, when Kyle kicked his way into Eric's suite, she WAS in bed with him, naked. Then Billy stops by Kyle's to tell him that a bunch of their clients have come back, and whatever Amanda did, it's working. Hey, Billy? STAY OUT OF IT. Taylor keeps hoping unrest between Kyle and Amanda will mean she can slide back in with him....

Once again, the doctors are in disarray! When Peter bails Coop out of jail, Michael turns on both of them, convinced that even if Coop didn't physically pull the trigger at the beach house, he's behind the person who did. Michael's so fired up about finding the shooter that even Megan gets curious enough to join in the investigation. Coop himself is pretty shocked when Mrs. Shaw accosts him outside his apartment, and quickly figures out she's the culprit; since his was not his endgame with Micha...

While Amanda keeps the secret of Eric's designs against Kyle's entire hospitality empire, Eric completes his purchase of the KYLE'S/jazz club property, giving Kyle 30 days to exit. And that's not all: he's ALSO planning to sell Amanda's new agency to one of her competitors. However, he doesn't leave Amanda without hope: he will abandon all his plots if she will just do oooooooone little thing. Michael is still being harassed by either Kimberly or someone working very hard to convince him that th...

The main drama swirls around the doctors this time: Michael's already had a prototype cauterizing glove made and is ready to start making money off it immediately by selling it to a medical company; Craig wants to use it to build a company himself, which will make him and both Mancini siblings money in the long term. When Jennifer sees that Michael's stubbornness is going to drive Craig away (from her), she engages in a little espionage to force Craig and Michael into an arranged marriage, busin...

Michael is the pivot point for virtually everyone in the A plot. He helps Taylor cover up her non-pregnancy after a fortuitous fall down the jazz club's eponymous stairs. He hassles Megan so much that he drives her into Eric's arms. He takes an idle conversation with Coop about surgical tools and turns it into a proposal to develop a new device AND lets Jennifer pitch him on tricking Craig into backing it with Sydney's insurance money instead of blowing it on a cruise. But Michael's not the only...

Still reeling from Sam’s shock departure at the end of the last episode, Billy takes time off from The AWA at the worst possible time to follow a hunch and locate her in Maryland, working at her mother Kate’s restaurant. Though Kate’s longtime employee Ernie seems kindly disposed toward Billy, he admits that Kate still feels guilty about mistakes she made in Sam’s childhood (edging us ever closer to confirmation that Jim sexually abused Sam), and may be overcompensating in her protectiveness of ...
