On This Episode Of Town And Country

Tommy must explain his whereabouts to his family.
Louise finds herself talking with her mother.
Steven and Lorraine find themselves in close proximity again.

I like how conflicted you have Lorraine being. It's different than the usual motivation of the maniacal ex being hellbent on ruining a new relationship. There really does seem to be a genuine bond and chemistry between her and Steven, which is often how it is with exes. It's easy to slip back into old habits, especially when you aren't trying to make a relationship work. Still hoping her and Daniel's plot doesn't work, but I suspect luck is against Steven/Courtney at the moment.

Max and Shauna have a nice vibe. I like how they're playful and teasing with one another, but not to the point of being mean, and neither is being overly secretive or sensitive about what they want from the situation. It's refreshing for younger characters and bodes well for a longer-term relationship. Tommy, of course, had to storm in there and make everyone a little less comfortable. I'm guessing his first encounter with Daniel is NOT gonna go well, based on what we've seen of his dad so far...

I'm glad Sarah Lynn was there for Louise and not judgmental in the moment. The mark of a good parent is being able to save those opinions for later. That's not what Louise needs now.

Good episode, Bre!

Lorraine is not a woman who is evil, she was presented with this life-changing opportunity that will possibly give her a second act in terms of her ballet career. In addition she wants to provide a good life for Evan, and trying to muster up the courage to come in between Steven & Lorraine. If life didn't get in the way that it did then perhaps Steven & Lorraine could've stayed together in their marriage.

Max and Shauna have a nice vibe.

Max & Shauna is one of my favorite dynamics to write because they have good chemistry, they're both witty and don't have problems admitting their feelings for one another which is refreshing for the young characters. This fall we will focus on their initial courtship and how will Antoine factor into it. To find out about Tommy's interaction with Daniel read next week's episode. lol

I'm glad Sarah Lynn was there for Louise and not judgmental in the moment. The mark of a good parent is being able to save those opinions for later. That's not what Louise needs now.

Even though Sarah Lynn knows that Louise isn't exactly in the right she knows that her daughter needs her love and guidance more importantly.

Good episode, Bre!

Thanks for your constant support and readership Michael !

Second episode for Tommy and I'm already enjoying him ... Someone, or something, had to light a fire under Max to ask Shauna out. I know it seemed like he was about to before Tommy arrived, but the fact that Tommy told him to ask her out and he did was nice. It's great that as brothers they have that type of relationship where they take each other's advice. I'm curious to see how well this date goes!

Oh Louise! All these tears she's crying ... in some ways it's hard to have sympathy for her because she has allowed herself and her husband to be in an open relationship. You can't really claim the "poor me" card when you agreed to let your husband fool around with others. I suppose she never thought that he would end up having some kind of a relationship with Tricia, but still. I am glad that she is, at least for now, filing for divorce.

Like Michael, I like that Lorraine is torn about this scheme. It makes her much more human than a one note villain. I also think the bond between her and Steven is very real; when two people have a child together, they are bonded together forever, especially when the child is in crisis (this case, the stomach flu).

Great read, Bre!

I'm glad that you're enjoying Tommy as a character , I wanted him to be a bit like Max when it comes to sarcasm, but goes for what he wants which is why he advised his big brother finally ask out Shauna on a date. I needed someone to make Max see the light and get off his behind to get this courtship going with Shauna too.

Oh Louise! All these tears she's crying … in some ways it's hard to have sympathy for her because she has allowed herself and her husband to be in an open relationship.

Part of me does have sympathy for Louise. Let's not forget she was with this man for twenty years and had twin girls with the man she loved. Although, she did agree to this " open marriage " she didn't expect Sean would want a real relationship with Tricia. We'll see how this divorce may impact them as well as the family.

Like Michael, I like that Lorraine is torn about this scheme. It makes her much more human than a one note villain. I also think the bond between her and Steven is very real; when two people have a child together, they are bonded together forever, especially when the child is in crisis (this case, the stomach flu).

Like I told Michael, Lorraine isn't a villain, she is a woman who wants a second act in her career and wants to give her son a better life. And is willing to almost do anything to get a chance. It seems if life didn't get in the way Steven & Lorraine might've been still together raising Evan together.

Great read, Bre!
