Episode 2.17: Tainted Love (All New)

TAINTED LOVE

Quote:
Sam's Husband Returns--Pussy Cat Dolls and Dean Cain Guest Star--Sam (Vanessa Marcil) is over the moon about hosting the "whale of all whales"-a billionare (guest star Dean Cain) she's hooked to stay at the Montecito. With her hands full, she tosses her other clients onto Mary (Nikki Cox) and Delinda (Molly Sims). Things get out of hand when Mary's billionaires turn out to be cheating the horse racing system requiring Danny (Josh Duhamel) to fly up to come to her aid. Meanwhile, Vanessa falls apart when she realizes that the billionare is her husband, whom she's been separated from for seven years. Elsewhere, Ed (James Caan) is slapped with jury duty on Valentine's day and deals with the wrath of Jillian (Cheryl Ladd), who thinks he's avoiding the special day on purpose. Despite his efforts to get himself off of the hook, the judge refuses, leaving Ed to have to trust Mike (James Lesure) with manning the homebase. Marsha Thomason also stars.
Sounds like this is going to be a very interesting episode, I can't wait until tomorrow.

Discuss away!

I love the humour in this show, I don't know if it's always this funny, but I sure hope so.

Sam and her husband, him chasing her and by the end she was into it.

...although, the way Mike was calming her back at one point gave me shippy vibes. Gotta love shippy vibes

Were we supposed to know who Marys valentine was?

Casey, omg he was just so sweet I think I'm an offical Sam/Casey shipper now

I seriously didn't expect that woman to just grab them like that. I knew what she was not-so-discreetly talking about but....yeah....

I really wanted Mary's secret admirer to turn out to be Danny. I just didn't buy the fact that he didn't get her anything .

But I can tell you, one of the things I about the show is how they have hints of stuff in each episode that they always come back to. Like Sam's marriage, they didn't just leave that in the past. Now if only we can find out what's up with the silver in that safe....

Oh man I burst out laughing when the woman grabbed Danny like that. That was hilarious.

I loved this episode, it was funny and romantic. Watching Sam run around the hotel was great to see. She's usually so tough, but I gotta say I do like her and Casey. I think they make a cute couple. Ed and jury duty was also pretty funny. Finally there is something that Ed can't get out of, and has no pull over. But I was glad to see that he tried to prove that the kid was innocent, and wouldn't leave until he convinced everybody.

I really thought that Danny was the one who got Mary those Valentine presents, the look that he was giving her when she asked him if he was the one was a little suspicious. Hopefully we find out who he is in the upcoming episodes.

Hmmm... It looks like I am the only one, but this episode really annoyed me.

First of all, how old is Sam- 8? Why the heck was she running away, and worse yet why was he chasing her? It made me think of elementary school. The scene where she was in the bathroom was touching, though. I mean, I kind of understand where the writer's were trying to go- Sam doesn't like to feel vulnerable- but I thought it was kind of stupid the way it was played out.

I missed the very, very beginning so I didn't understand how Sam didn't know her whale was her husband. Did he use a different name or something?

I was also really, really annoyed with Jillian. "Where's my Valentine's Day Present?" She sounded like a whiney little baby. "Wahhh I want my present" If she wasn't going to open it until she was with Ed anyway then what was the rush?

Usually I love this show for it's zaniness and I love to suspend belief for awhile as I watch this show but tonight was too much for me.

I loved this episode! It was hysterical! I love Vanessa Marcil, and Sam always makes me laugh. It was nice to see her vulnerable. But the whole running away from Casey thing...I couldn't tell what the hell she was thinking. Because she was laughing one second and screaming the next. Maybe to illustrate how flustered he makes her? But she was funny in the pussycat dolls show.

I also thought it was weird that Danny ddin't get Mary anything...I still think he got her the necklace. Even though they are "broken up" it is still weird that he would overlook her.

Overall it was a very funny episode. But I agree, Gillian was annoying/.

GenL- to answer your question....I think Sam said that the whale doesn't use his real name, and nobody knows what he looks like. Thats why she didn't know it was Casey. And she also mentioned that the last time she saw him, he was a millionare, not a billionare. SO I am sure she had no idea.

Thanks for the info. That explained it for me!

I also agree about the laughing/screaming while running away. I guess that was why I didn't like it.

I also think maybe the necklace was from Danny, but why deny it so much???

No problem...

Hopefully they won't drop the necklace thing, and we will find out who it is from

GenL you're not alone on this one. I was very annoyed to think of how this episode left SO many things undone at the end of it. Like they needed tomake it a 90 minute Valentine's Day special in order to deal with all of the different storylines that were presented.

What about the whales that Delinda was responsible for? Is it supposed to be entertaining that the woman had plastic surgery and then was in pain for getting bumped into repeatedly? Or that she was used as a so to speak prop for Sam to then be able to disguise herself as another PS client? Ooooh that would have been SO hard for Casey to not been able to figure out. Come on, there are limits to the lengths that my credulity can be stretched to.

Along with the whole, run and hide, play hard to get, if he can't talk to me then I won't have to act like an idiot because one time I'm fainting and another time I'm looking to assault him or else later on I'm going to kiss him as they go to commercial, and then I'll be running away from him again and hiding as a pussycat doll dancer. This was over the top ABSURD!!!! Then they just leave the two characters in some backstage area and drop the story altogether. Because they simply didn't have any time left in the show to deal with anymore of it! Grrrrrrr

I very well undestand the idea of foreshadowing and it was done pretty well to the extent that something might be happening between Mike and Nessa. But that doesn't go for how they had the whole mystery of who sent Mary presents, and whether or not it was Danny. I hope it was him. Yet I have no clue as to whether or not that's true. There was never a twinkle in his eys for only the audience to see as he denied it to her. I felt like I had to take him as being honest, even if I didn't want it to be so. Plus as everyone else has said, there's ZERO reason for him not having done *something* for her on Valentine's Day.

The writers have a lot of making up to do as far as my feelings are concerned.

i liked this episode but jillian did really annoy me, she seems so spoiled and i can't see ed marrying someone like her. a lot of fans seem to compare the mary and danny relationship to the ed and jillian one but i can't see danny marrying someone so spoiled and materialistic and mary definitely isn't like that.

i'm glad they paired up danny and mary for valentine's day and i'm not sure if he gave her the necklace but he very well could have and i hope he did and is just plotting some grand i love you gesture to come but either way he seemed affected by her gift and was jealous which was great to see. i think these two definitely are on the road to getting back together.

loved sam and casey and i hope dean cain returns as casey more in a recurring role. he's great and they had such great chemistry. the chasing around thing got old and silly though.

i like mike and nessa as friends, don't know if i want to see a relationships happen there but i'm not really in favor of it being one way or another.
