Medium - Drowned World

[Sakrysta]

Not sure where Anti-Drone is this week, but I couldn't wait any longer. AD, feel free to add a synopsis and poll here.

I LOVED that we ended things on a happy note! I have a feeling that things got wrapped up kinda quickly due to the writers' strike, but I don't care. The Dubois family has been through enough turmoil lately. Now Joe gets to work on his ideas without the pressure of being his own boss or worrying about the effect his partnership might have on his marriage - and with the added benefit of a lovely nest egg for the future.

Allison & Devalos are back where they belong! And though it irked me a little bit to have what's-his-name's nastiness kinda swept under the rug, I appreciated how gracious Allison & Devalos were to him.

The week's mystery actually had me wondering for a while there. And Joe's dream in the beginning was both shocking and hilarious. You know they had fun shooting that.

I love me a happy ending!

Help! I had a very long Monday and thought I'd just close my eyes for a minute during a commercial and when I woke up the news was on. What happened in the final segment?

If you're in the US, you can watch it for free on Hulu.com. Otherwise, here's the basics.

Devalos, Scanlon, & Allison confront the husband's father with the fact that he was also the wife's father. Apparently, Kelly's mom was Charles' dad's mistress. Kelly changed her name when she grew up, ended up meeting her half-brother without knowing who he was and marrying him. When the dad realized who Kelly was, he had tried to drive her crazy to split them apart. It backfired on him.

Meanwhile, the big investor guy had called Joe and asked him to meet him at his office. He told Joe that he paid Meghan 2 million for the business, and called her a "bottom feeder ... only good at one thing, smelling money." She knew that he'd buy the company because he was financing a similar idea and would want to squelch the competition. However, when he finally sat down and looked through Joe's work, he liked it better than what he already had. He offered Joe a job - to develop his idea for bigwig's company - told him to "rent some space, hire some people, make me some money" - and he could stay in Phoenix to do it.

Meanwhile, Devalos brings Allison & VanDyke together and he haltingly asks her to let his family know he's okay after he dies, if she can. She promises that she will be on the lookout for him and will do just that.

In the end, Bridgette & Marie have sneaked out of bed to watch thru the window for mom and dad to come home, but mom and dad are having too much fun in the car celebrating () and the girls can't figure out why they won't come inside.
