What I’m Watching: Ringer

Ringer: Season 1, Episode 6 “The Poor Kids Do It Everyday” (C+)

My suspicions about Henry not having actually Gemma turned out to be entirely correct, but he certainly doesn’t seem much like an innocent man. Perhaps it’s his inability to make friends, pushing away the only person who can tolerate him and prompting her, somewhat unwisely, to point the police in his direction, giving them the location of the bloody rags and all. It seems that somehow Bridget’s fingerprints ended up connected to Gemma’s disappearance, which means that Machado, fresh off plenty of disappointment in terms of finding Malcolm in Macewa’s clutches, is going to be thrilled to come back to New York and attack Siobhan for harboring her sister. I predict Machado as the next person to discover Bridget’s true identity, though I think he’s developed enough of a soft spot for her that he’ll end up helping her rather than blowing the whistle and turning her in. Much more of a spotlight than ever before is being given to troublesome teen Juliet, whose first day at public school has her being hit up for money and brawling with another girl in a fight that could only be described as unavoidable. The addition of Jason Dohring from “Veronica Mars” and “Moonlight” should excite fans of those cult shows beyond imagination, and I do think that he helps to liven up that part of the storyline, showing her some clear favoritism that will likely bring them closer. The real Siobhan pops up, as usual, only in the last minute, revealing that she is the one who ordered Gemma dead. Let’s hear more about that; give her more screen time!
