that red dress? no, look at Charlotte!
RavenGlamDVDCollector11 December 2017
Many viewers would come away from this episode remembering the red dress Emily wore at her charity function. Aw, I don't care! I have eyes only for super-cool kitty girl Charlotte Grayson (now Clarke till she changes her mind again) That scene where she is about to go up the stairs and Daniel calls her back and she comes walking at us the viewers. Now THAT my friends IS AN American PRINCESS (the men of taste among you, and the girls with cool fashion sense, will all agree)(the sour grapes will sit there and scowl)...

A three-quarters swivel of the head as darling Charlotte talks with Javier, look at the perfection of those features! Er, Christa's. By the way, argh! not another inferior type hustling up as her boyfriend-to-be? No, please not this guy, he is even worse than dead little Declan. It should have been Patrick BUT then SOME scriptwriter got that STUPID idea that ruined Nolan for me forever. Anyway, it seems Charlotte picks 'em the way Lucy did in STEALING BEAUTY. Small. Weedy. Er, watch the movie, you'll understand.

Emily is in the scandal sheets. It is already "yesterday's news" and she throws a charity benefit. A high stakes poker game against the Dragon Lady herself. Victoria has more than two aces up her sleeve.

Okay. Just a few more loose comments:

Cryptic fun: (no, scratch that, this breaks my heart:)

What does TWM stand for? 6min25seconds in, Botox Queen, no Dream Merchant no more, the Flamingos will all hop down the Road never to return. TIGER WAXY MORGAN still "fair" but "child" no longer despite effort to the contrary. Alas, a dream has died a death worse than death, the look of a living nightmare.

Gabriel Mann tries a few quips, but the good old Nolan days are long gone by, seemingly never to return. Aiden, the borderline character, keeps bouncing back, ultimately useless. He should have been written out a long time ago. But no, that happened to Amber Valletta, and to Ashley Madekwe, but not to Barry Sloane. The true assets were sent packing...

Okay, I'm going to think about Christa B. Allen now and have a good cry.

The 3rd series of this show has been an inconsistent affair, with a great mid series cliff-hanger that it's never quite matched.

This episode is promising in the sense that it's building to something better, but I've been saying that for the last few episodes now.

I couldn't care less about all the Voulez/Grayson Manor deeds stuff, though the writers do keep harping on about it like it's absolutely vital.

Much more interesting was the tender Stevie/Conrad scene, and those which see Emily and Daniel's sparring.

A mixed bag overall.
