Smash episode 5…
… the one where everyone has sex.
Ivy [drunken / sociopathic] Derek
Tom [badly] John
Karen [in a car] Dev
Although probably not really, what with the driver and all (I bet limo drivers see some sights).
Julia [furtively] Michael
Ok, not technically sex, but kissing. Furtively. In the middle of the street. In front of the neighbours, Leo, the car service and anyone else just wandering past. Rather than, say, in the privacy of the building. Possibly under a towel, locked in the bathroom. Mind you, I suppose that’s hormones for you - one minute you’re licking whipped cream off his apple pie (my new euphanism of choice), the next you’re making the neighbours’ curtains twitch.
The only people not having sex are Eileen and Ellis - though Ellis is wrangling for some sort of hook up, what with Eileen now being assistantless and his score of a rather impressive 6 on the Evilometer (not bad considering it’s a 5 point scale). It’ll all end badly.
I actually thought Ivy and Derek's showdown ended quite sweetly. He seemed to be truthful, she seemed to understand (though I didn’t get why he had to keep saying he wasn’t kidding - he’s not exactly been set up as a merry prankster of laughs over the last few weeks). He may be an arse, but it’s only because he has an artistic vision. She’s maybe insecure, and 12 shots to the wind, but she has an artistic vision too - dammit! Also, now that porridgebird has pointed out the joy of ‘spot the Norrington-channelling’, there was more than a touch of the commodore about Derek here. Something about the way he doesn’t shout but ENUNCIATES. EVERYTHING. IN. A. VERY. DELIBERATE. WAY. I like that, I’d have stayed too. Go, Ivy.
I also still love Tom and John, although I am now 10,000% sure John’s not going to make it to next week - which is a shame. He’s still adorable and was rather magnificent in the Leo arrest situation (mind you, I’ve always had a thing about boys in suits lawyers). Speaking of rather magnificent, I also loved Julia in her getting home furious scene.
Fast forward count: one, I managed to survive not sitting through Karen singing in her pants.
Big show tune verdict: thumbs up! I liked ‘Let’s be Bad’, and the routine with it.
