What I’m Watching: Hung


Hung: Season 3, Episode 8 “I, Sandee or This Sex. Which Is. Not One.” (B+)

You have to give Lenore credit for trying so hard to bring down everything Tanya and Ray have worked so hard to build. It’s not all that difficult, given that Jessica’s presence at a class forces Tanya to alter her entire curriculum and sends Ray packing so as not to get spotted. Her revelation to the group that Ray’s most prized instrument didn’t always do it for her definitely threw him for a loop, and finding out that Logan also faked it sometimes wasn’t too good for his already iffy ego of late. It’s clear that the class is really doing a lot for Jessica, especially considering the miserable state of affairs at work with Mindy shouting about her so that the entire office can hear. The fact that she loves the class so much also seems to be influencing Tanya, who resented Ray’s comment that the class is a hooey. Sandee’s continued attempts at controlling Jason are not headed anymore good, and Lenore’s failure to forgive Jason has sent him on a very dangerous path. His decision to offer Jessica a free session is a terrible idea that can only have negative consequences, and Ray is sure to have drummed up some trouble by showing up to their date and punching Jason in the face. The brief return of Mike towards episode’s end offered Ray a chance to rain on his wedding parade, though this episode’s best wedding-oriented scene was definitely the “on-the-house” session that Ray gave bridesmaid Logan.
