Me, Myself, And O

Hey guys, I'm going to be reviewing this episode instead of your usual reviewer, I love the show and I love Sutton Foster since Bunheads so I'm very happy to do this, let's get to it.

We start at a book reading for "P is for Pigeon" held at Charles' house, where Liza gets to see his girls, they clearly like her since the time she played baby sitter and they tell her they might need to move to a more affordable place, which shows us how high the stakes are for Charles if Empirical doesn't get a lucky break. So, we get the reminder that the company is in trouble without Bryce's help and, though the metaphorical book is very dear to their hearts, they know it won't be the one to save them. That's why they go to L.L. Moore for help, so he can write another book from his "Crown of Kings" series or "COK" as Diana blurted out in a very funny scene, and the fact she said they were all begging for it made it all the more hilarious.

The next day, Redmond offers Millennial Imprint a book called "Me, Myself and O", it's about a woman who sleeps her way across four continents in search of the perfect orgasm, until she figures out the perfect orgasm is with herself. They like the book but when he tells them the author, Aubrey Alexis, is not willing to appear in public, they pass on the book. It turns out the "young new author" is actually L.L. Moore writing under a pseudonym, which they figure out after a hunch from Liza and a lot of comparison between books. They try to get it back, but Lena Dunham has made an offer, so Liza goes to dinner with Edward in hopes that his obsession with her as princess Pam Pam will get them preference, he agrees but he says they'll have to pay him double and keep the secret, which Liza has no problem with, since the book would be way less effective for female readers if they knew who wrote it.

They still need Charles permission to fight for it and he's not sold on the idea, since the Non-Disclosure Agreement prevents them from telling even him. Which brings us to a very funny scene where Liza tries to help him figure it out on his own. Once he does, he immediately agrees to every term.

Meanwhile, Maggie is having her own drama as her new orthodox crush, Malkie, is going to a spiritual spa with her ex-girlfriend turned best friend, so out of jealousy she asks Liza to join her. Liza had plans to let Josh get under an awful poncho in a park, since he was insisting her "away game" was weak, but she agrees to pospone. The spiritual spa was more spiritual than they thought, since it was a Mikveh and when Maggie tried to get in the pool, the women saw a tattoo of a cross she had and run out shouting: "There's a shiksa in the Mikveh!". Which was hilarious, I know Maggie doesn't have a problem with generating a reaction in people but I'm sure that's not what she was expecting. Afterwards, though, it looked like Malkie was still very much into her so I'm guessing she'll be around for a while.

Later, Liza goes to say good-night to Charles in his office and he invites her to celebrate over scotch, he's talking about the passion for the business and says every now and then, something really unexpected comes along, and we get the feeling he's talking about a whole lot more than the book. But, right in that moment, Radha shows up and says she's been waiting in the lobby. She seems quite jealous of Liza and it looks like she's trying to mark her territory, in a subtle way, of course.

Finally, we see Liza and Josh going to watch Maggie play softball with Malkie and her friends, an opportunity they take to get frisky under a blanket. I personally don't like Malkie too much, she seems a little boring, even if they're trying to paint her as the oposite of it, I really would like to see Maggie in a more engaging relationship with someone a little bit more fun, a little bit more like Lauren. Also I'd like to see more of Molly Benard.

So, what did you guys think of this episode? What are your thoughts on Malkie? Would you like to see more of Lauren? And, how ugly was Liza's poncho? I'd love to read your thoughts.
