Royal Pains: Season 5, Episode 5 “Vertigo” (B)
In this hour, we got some human drama and some other heightened drama as the show took a step away from Jeremiah and Divya’s non-romance and Hank’s nefarious plan to assist Boris in punishing Milos for his murderous act. Instead, Evan got to campaign in the sun without quite enough sunscreen to get signatures for the election, which proved especially difficult because of residency issues, lack of interest, and general happiness with the status quo. It’s just like him to find a source of inspiration as he was about to give up, and though it’s going to be a fierce uphill battle, I think he’s going to want to stick it out. Paige had a chance to demonstrate that she could be good at her job when her boss passed off an emotional assignment, but finding another valuable antique that made it so that Blythe didn’t have to sell the painting hardly seems like exemplary workmanship (great customer service, on the other hand). Blythe is an interesting character who it seems will have a larger role to play this season, interacting frequently with others in Evan’s life as well. Brad Beyer’s cop dad is also showing up regularly, and it’s a good thing since his condition appears to be worsening. The hostage situation on the boat was a bit jarring and unusual for this lighthearted show, but it was resolved quickly enough and more useful for the symptoms it showed in Don. Hank sure knows how to be there for a client and go above and beyond.
