Royal Pains: Season 3, Episode 8 “Run, Hank, Run” (B+)
I’m absolutely delighted to see Autumn Reeser take on a guest spot that allows her to play a somewhat different role than the one she’s been consistently playing on other shows prior to this (something she happens to be quite good at, of course). I actually didn’t even recognize her at first, and was pleased to see her playing a marathon champion and young mother. Watching her jog right past Hank was amusing, and I enjoyed their relationship very much. Divya’s side career is getting extremely close to getting in the way of her full-time job, and having Hank ask her to send herself flowers was just the first step. I imagine that Hank and Evan will both feel quite betrayed by Divya’s duplicity, whereas they would both have been incredibly understanding had she been honest and forthright with them from the start. Now Hank and more specifically Evan have another person’s secrets to deal with, as Evan has discovered that Paige is telling her parents that she’s with him while she’s most clearly not. Evan putting the wrong painting in the art show was rather hilarious, and it was fun to see Wilder Valderrama, who presumably is occupying Paige’s time at the moment. There’s an interesting amount of focus on Boris lately, with the revelation that someone was trying to abduct his son since he would be an heir and that he might have inherited a separate genetic disease due to all of the poisoning that had gone on in that family. I’m not sure where it will all go, but it’s helpful to have a dramatic storyline going on in the background.
