Ray is seen, at the beginning of the chapter, driving his car along a desolated road. He spots a pretty woman who is definitely having problem with changing a tire. He offers to finish the job, and the next thing we see is that Ray in a heated sexual encounter with the woman. As it turns out, the woman, Jemma, is not completely satisfied with the way Ray conducted himself. She is playing a fantasy that probably makes sense in her mind, but Ray does not read her intentions.
Jemma, who complains to Tanya about the treatment she received, would like to have another session. She pays well and that does not present a problem. Instead of a tumble in the hay, Jemma wants to be romanced, something that clearly confounds Ray because it appears to him he is only to perform in bed, but since the money is good, he decides to go along meeting Jemma in a suburban eatery. Ray lies as to his real identity, making her believe he is a book editor. At the end of the meal as he kisses her outside the place, he notices in horror that Rhonda, the principal of the high school where he teaches sees him with Jemma.
Things are not going well for Jessica and Ronnie. He is telling her they must economize, so the car for the twins is out of the question, for the time being. When they go to an all-you-can-eat restaurant that charges $3,99 per person, Jessica tries to explain to the kids this is the way they will have to look at things. To complicate matters, Doris, the family dog, is found almost lifeless and the vet diagnoses she is in a coma. Putting her to sleep is the sensible thing to do, so Ronnie makes the decision, something that does not go too well with Jessica.
Tanya is hosting a party at her place as Floyd is pushing his new course about how to succeed in business. She has prepared 'bible cookies' that she thinks she feels will attract the religious crowd. When Floyd asks who wants to sign for the new classes, no one is interested. In a fit, Floyd demands Tanya to return the fliers he made to prospective students. They end their relationship badly.
Jemma calls for a third tryst with Ray. They go to a beach at the lake where everything seems to be going well. Unfortunately, Ray has problems telling what she wants to hear: "I love you". Tanya, who pretends she has a boyfriend calls Tanya on her cell phone to have her ask Ray to tell her he loves her on his own mobile. The encounter ends badly.
Another great chapter the Colette Burson and Dmitry Lipkin, the creators of "Hung", had for us. Directed with great pacing by Bronwen Hughes, it is perhaps one of the less explicitly sexual episodes in the first season. As expected, Thomas Jane and Jane Adams excel as Ray and Tanya. The wonderful Nathalie Zea brings an unexpected surprise in her approach to the neurotic and sex repressed Jemma.
This adult oriented series keep on delighting audiences by the crisp writing by Ms. Burson and Mr. Lipkin.
