What I'm Watching: Dirty Sexy Money

Dirty Sexy Money: Season 2, Episode 4 "The Silence" (C+)

Most of the occurrences in this episode are just too obvious and expected. Patrick is too eternally blinded by his affection for Carmelita to realize that he can't expose her to the entire world only weeks (days? months? no idea) after the supposedly tragic death of his wife. Tripp is always looking out for the family with a stern attitude that sacrifices personal happiness for professional well-being. Karen is too constantly oblivious to realize that Nick doesn't actually want to be with her, but that Simon is really the one she should be worrying about. That does make the character of Simon a tad more compelling, since he exposed his own motives so that he will be able to throw them back in everyone's faces later. Nick's outright refusal to even entertain Lisa's business proposition is very much unlike him, but I am impressed with his detective work, exploiting Jeremy's stupidity to find out who he's secretly dating, a revelation which will likely explode in the coming episode.
