Enlightened: Season 1, Episode 7 “Lonely Ghosts” (B+)
On any other show, a dream might not have as much meaning, but it’s clear that Amy puts stock in everything that happens in her life, whether in her waking state of while he’s asleep. Her nightmare sent her to Levi’s, which is a dangerous move given that he really doesn’t want the same things from their relationship that she does, given the fact that he’ll sleep in bed with her one night and then invite another lady friend over the next. This episode was more about other romances, however, mainly that between Tyler and Amy, with whom he’s obviously smitten. Her response to his melancholy comment about being tired of being alone was appropriately serene – “We’re all alone, in a way” – but he hit back just as powerfully by replying “Some of us are more alone.” He was smart to suggest setting Dougie up with someone following his ego-boosting promotion to some sort of VP. The real surprise was that, despite her initial worries about him being “pervy,” Harper actually thought that Dougie was cute and was more than happy to go for him. Somewhat unexpectedly, it was his overly aggressive attitude towards Amy that ultimately ruined the mood, resulting in her trying to break the match by telling Harper that she would be an idiot to date him. Krista’s idea to set Amy up with someone is perhaps more intriguing, and I’d be interested to see what kind of man she’d go for aside from the three with whom we’ve already seen her interact on this show.
