What I’m Watching: I Love That For You

I Love That For You: Season 1, Episode 7 “Point of No Returns” (B+)

I was worried that Joanna was going to blurt out the truth on-air during the telethon, and while this wasn’t quite as bad, it was still not the way it all should have happened. Beth Ann, who was having trouble remaining tethered to reality when it came to her love life and the so-so sex she had with Perry, nailed it perfectly when she confronted Joanna and realized that she wanted her to tell Patricia so that she didn’t have to be the one to do it. Jeremy telling her he loved her would have been an appropriate moment to be honest, but it’s too late for that now. I have a feeling that Jackie might also reconsider her retirement given that everything she thought was true has now shown itself not to be, and I’m curious to see how Patricia is going to react since I think she’ll be able to see past the lie and look to what Joanna did by spinning it, proving herself to be resilient even if it wasn’t for a genuine reason. Having Ryan Phillippe be the one to call out her betrayal was admittedly pretty funny, and a great way to end this episode. I liked that Perry stepped in to so casually help Darcy out of his impossible situation and did it with ease, speaking French fluently and threatening to weaponize his social media followers against them, and that he seemed much more into the idea of sleeping with Darcy than he had with Beth Ann, a less major secret that is going to soon come out after the shock of Joanna’s big admission dies down.
