Episodes: Season 3, Episode 2 (B+)
It’s such a relief to me that, after an episode filled with unfortunate memories about infidelity, mostly on Beverly’s part, the happy couple managed to reunite successfully, thanks very much to Matt’s most appropriate gift ever: a new mattress. I love the history of this show, and the fact that both Beverly and Matt forgot that they had slept with each other when Sean was talking to them about what happened in the past. This show has never been overtly sexual, and the incorporation of the affairs is very subtly and comically done. It was also nice to see Matt have a positive interaction with Diane, cooking with her and then finding out that she’s actually going to get married. She’s never been a real romantic interest for him during the timeframe of the show, but it still represents a definitive moving on that’s sure to have an effect on him. Carol’s introduction to her new boss couldn’t have been better, and I’m extremely excited by how Chris Diamantopoulos’ character has been written. Caster Sotto is a truly determined and maniacal man, and he’s going to do truly interesting things to and with Carol. Merc was eccentric in many ways, but Caster has a commitment to his job and to doing good, impactful things that’s going to make for some intriguing developments. The brief session with his therapist was telling enough, and I’m thrilled to see what he’s going to bring to the network as the new man in charge.
