Laurie and the poets and I (for what is a recap if not poetry??)

disagree, but Joe is such an Amy.

But theres no way that will last.

So he and Marienne and Henry and Juliet can all be a family?

Does the show take advantage of this setup to do the most interesting, thrilling stuff?

But lets not get ahead of ourselves.

We get it, Joe loves saving people and flirting with adults by cooing over children reading hardcover classics.

I fully said barf aloud when Marienne said that her take on fairy tales is screw princesses.

Like, wow, so original!!!

What a sizzling take from a modern woman.

She is as basic as Beck and not half as interesting as Love.

She tells Joe that Ryan will be at the gala because Channel 3 made a sizable donation.

This is his way of showing her he can hurt her even at work.

Joe decides to ignore Mariennes explicit request to stay out of her complicated entanglement with her ex.

and generally sticking to a rigid routine, which Joe decides means Ryans sobriety is hanging by a THREAD.

Unsurprisingly, Cary has a hookup for Adderall and other such substances.

The vision: Mess with Ryans routine and trigger a relapse.

But Love has other fantasies in mind: Theo.

Glamma rolls up to watch Henry VERY late, super disheveled and drunk.

Her now ex-husband got her second act vineyard out of SPITE.

I did everything I was supposed to do, she tells Love.

This is what happens when you marry the wrong man.

She and Love argue, so Glamma leaves.

(I love that his reaction to her come-on is to wonder, Did she kill someone else?

And is she trying to distract me?)

He already has access to all the security camera footage in Madre Linda.

I guess he plans to murder the murderer?

But also, he is very distracted by how much he wants her.

Love confesses that she thought Joe wasnt attracted to her anymore.

Joe is going to focus on Love so that he can be with Marienne.

Glamma is drunk, hurt, and furious.

She screams that her daughter is a LITTLE BITCH and sets her own plan in motion.

Sherry is, naturally, the queen.

Joe thinks he is watching his own execution, but Love and Marienne get along just fine.

Then Ryan rolls in.

Joe is shocked, but Dante reports that Ryan has twist!

never actually been sober.

That AA stuff is for show.

Theres drugs in his smoothies.

Alas, Ryan is un-dosable!

And he is onto Joe.

I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS!!

Sherry and Cary are polyamorous, and they would love to take our relationship to a new level.

See, I KNEW Cary wanted to make out with Joe during their little CPR session in the woods!

I feel so vindicated!!

Which was definitely not supposed to happen.

Glamma took Henry, gasoline, and the lighter to the vineyard and TORCHED IT.

She and Henry return home unscathed.

Glamma wails that Love will lose EVERYTHING one day too, and see how she likes it!!

Glamma gets into the car with Joe, probably viciously hungover.

YES, HELL YES!

Heres how Glamma tells it: When James got sick, he and Love were already on the rocks.

Glamma doesnt have any proof of this, mind you.

Just a mothers intuition.

I KNEW IT, I FUCKIN KNEW IT!!!

Just a recappers intuition, baby!

Glamma leaves Joe with a warning: Love knows no loyalty.

Which is a little odd to me.

He has no proof of an affair.

Marienne tells Joe that lying is bad for her recovery and she can only be in an honest relationship.

I wish Joe would take the L, but we know thats not his style.

Joe is allI cannot believe this loophole is falling into my lap.

He assures her that they can do ANYTHING together; they will figure it out as a team!
