Royal Pains: Season 3, Episode 12 “Some Pig” (B+)
This episode was all about relationships, with Jill trying her best to move on while being courted by Jack, Hank and Divya being passive-aggressive with each other, and Evan and Paige both freaking out a bit about the impending start of their lives. I’m consistently impressed by Tom Cavanagh’s grace on screen, so comfortable in the energetic roles that he tends to play. His flirtation with Jill was entertaining, and he also does drama well, as he did on “Scrubs” with the death of his father and here with the discovery first of his lupus diagnosis and then that it was much more serious than they had initially thought. For the sake of the show, I’m glad it means that Cavanagh will likely be around for a while, and I hope things don’t end too tragically for him. Jill doesn’t seem to be getting any closer to leaving, though I’d be happy if they brought back Anastasia Griffith’s Dr. Emily Peck to be Hank’s love interest. It made sense for Hank and Divya to be made at each other due to their close relationship, but I’m happy that it lasted just one episode, so that they can get back to working together well and healing sick people. Evan getting hives because he’s nervous was highly amusing, and Paige realizing that she too was nervous because she was getting too into playing house was cute. Those two make a fabulous couple, and I’m eager to see their relationship progress as their wedding looms closer.
