On The Next Episode Of Town and Country
Jordan and Tricia catch up.
Thora seeks guidance from Reverend Friendly.
Deirdre puts her plan into motion.

[Michael]

Ooooh, fun ending! I didn't see that coming at all. It seems like you're really shoring up the McKnights as a family unit to tell story with. It's been pretty organic, too, with Jeremy's birth as the entry point. It's funny that Jordan started out as a pretty one-dimensional antagonist and has evolved into such a complex character now. Her talk with Tricia was nice -- and Tricia even gave good advice about seeking professional help. They're both messy, but to see them genuinely support one another is lovely. It was also interesting to contrast that talk with Thora speaking with Reverend Friendly and saying that Ernest wouldn't even consider marriage counseling. He's so stubborn and domineering that it overtakes the entire family emotionally. I'll be curious to see what your plans with Presley are.

Esther and Deirdre's banter is always so funny and snappy. I'm eager to see what comes of the secrets of the past that Esther has begun to uncover...

I was also surprised, like Michael, by Presley's appearance. I knew that the new pastor would be somehow connected to a family, and I've been looking forward to seeing this family expand more, so this is the perfect time to bring Presley to town. This could really shake up Thora and Ernest's marriage even more ... and I am curious to see how close Presley and Jordan are.

Speaking of, Tricia really is a good friend to Jordan. She is the only one that treats Jordan like a person with feelings; everyone else seems to just want her to snap out of it and be "normal", which isn't realistic. Im curious to see if Samuel can help treat her PPD.

I love the catty banter between Esther and Deirdre ... but I am curious to see who Dee called and what she is up too.

Good episode!

With Jordan's upcoming story, I think it was important that I focus on her family and see where perhaps a part of her depression stems from her home life. In the next episode, we'll see why Presley has been estranged from his family for years and the dynamic between him and Thora. 

Esther and Deirdre's banter is always so funny and snappy. I'm eager to see what comes of the secrets of the past that Esther has begun to uncover...

I love writing scenes with Esther and Deirdre because they do have so much history together, not to mention all those sordid secrets waiting to be uncovered. Thanks for reading and commenting, Michael. I truly appreciate it.

I'm glad to see you've been waiting on the McKnight's to expand. I always knew I wanted Presley to be part of the canvas and knew that he would be a pastor. But trust me, there is so much more to his character than being a man of the cloth. In the upcoming episodes, we will see the dynamics between all of the McKnight's for sure.

Deep down, Tricia and Jordan are a lot alike, so if anyone knows something is off about the other, it's one of them. Besides, with Jordan being gone for all of that time, they probably think she is simply being lazy or doesn't want anything to do with their baby. In the next episode, we might see some leeway from someone regarding Jordan's emotional behavior. 

I love the catty banter between Esther and Deirdre ... but I am curious to see who Dee called and what she is up too.

Like I told Michael writing Deirdre and Esther into scenes our such fun because of their bantering ways as well as the sordid secrets they know of one another. And in a few episodes or so we'll definitely see Dee's scheme come to fruition. 

Good episode!
