On This Episode of Town and Country
Aaliyah's confession surprises Tanner.
Mala reacts to Jai and Louise's engagement.
Daniel gets on top of the situation.

[Dallas]

Well Toussaint talks a good game and he is trying to get out of this situation but it seems like Daniel is always one or two steps ahead of him. He's going to have to make a decision about his own future if he really wants to help Jordan, or someone will have to clue into what is going on. I, almost, thought for a moment that Tommy was going to see the doctor at the mansion and get more suspicious but that didn't happen. Gabriella is really turning into a great ally for Daniel in this scheme; I am just so curious to see how this will all unravel and who will be left in the crossfire when it does.

It was cute how both Tanner and Tommy were sharing their experiences with their friends. Tommy might still be in love with Tanner, but he continues to have a messed up way of showing it. Like, why are you sleeping with Jordan if you are trying to get Tanner back? His lack of judgement here makes it hard to root for him to find his way back to Tanner, which I am assuming will happen at some point. In the meantime, we can continue to get the cuteness of the Tanner/Presley coupling.

I'm not sure what to make of Mala's reaction to the engagement; she came across, almost, indifferent. We haven't really seen any lingering feelings between the two (unlike Lou and Sean, where you can feel the underlying connection in every scene), so Im curious as to how this plays out. Of course, they will still need to support Aaliyah, who isn't taking the news well.

Lots going on right now!

Like Dallas, I thought Tommy might bump into Touissant and begin to put more pieces together! It's clear that Daniel can't count on the doctor blindly going along with this plan -- but it seems like Touissant is going to have to get clever if he wants out from under Daniel's oppression. It's kind of funny how Gabriella wants to be included in the scheming, LOL. It seems like Daniel is amping up his tactics now, but what he's failing to see is that he's causing harm to Jeremy that doesn't have to be caused! He's so territorial about keeping his grandson under his roof, but growing up with an absentee mother or one with severe mental health issues is not going to be good for the kid. I do hope Tommy figures this all out, as it seems like he is on the path to doing.

Was there some deeper meaning to Aaliyah's friend who she was consoling, or was that just to give more of a sense of community and texture at the school? I like how close Tanner and Aaliyah have gotten; it's probably pretty weird for them that they're going to be stepsisters, too, but how fun, as well. As Dallas points out, Mala did seem a bit... tense or uncertain about Jai's engagement and how to address it. Maybe it was just awkwardness more than anything, but I got the sense that she was tripping over her reaction a little bit.

Good episode!

In the next few weeks, we'll definitely see who will be caught up in the crossfire as Daniel's actions begin to take their toll on others as well as Jordan.

In the meantime, we can continue to get the cuteness of the Tanner/Presley coupling.

At the moment, Tommy isn't sleeping with Jordan, but his concern for her will continue to come into play regarding him and his feelings for Tanner. This year I've been wanting to use Lorenzo more since he's only recurring, so that's how he became Tommy's distant confidant in this episode. I'm glad you're enjoying Tanner and Presley as a couple; they're so cute and fun to write for.

I'm not sure what to make of Mala's reaction to the engagement; she came across, almost, indifferent.

I think that probably comes from the fact that I haven't been really playing Mala heavily unlike Jai, Louise, and Sean, which is my fault, though when I tried to fit her in it didn't work out. But, for the time being, Jai will continue to confide in Mala as things in his engagement to Louise go through highs and lows in the upcoming months.

Lots going on right now!

Glad to hear that! Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

I don't think Daniel sees the long-term effects of Jeremy not having Jordan in his life; all he can see is ridding himself of the young woman who abandoned him for seven months, as well as believing she isn't good enough for Tommy too. Tommy might or might not put the pieces together in time, but another climax is coming to the story, so it might not be solved that easily.

Was there some deeper meaning to Aaliyah's friend who she was consoling, or was that just to give more of a sense of community and texture at the school?

No, that was just to show Aaliyah and Tanner being in a collegiate world as dorm resident advisors to show they have lives outside of their love and family lives. Tanner is gung-ho about them being stepsisters, but Aaliyah still wants them back together, though she is trying to go with the flow for now. I think Mala is trying to process the news of the engagement herself, though I'm sure we'll have her honest feelings about it sooner than later. 

Good episode!
