Ringer- Maybe we can get a dog instead


“He thought the withdrawal would make me give you up”


How much more twisted can this show get? And how oblivious can some of these characters stay? For the amount of scheming they involve themselves in, they should really be more cautious and aware of things happening around them.
 Bridget found a very clever escape from her “fake pregnancy”. It still shocks me that everything she says is just so believable to Andrew and the doctors wouldn’t give her more tests to actually see if she was ok. I thought Andrew would think she purposely got rid of the baby or something. Something more dramatic then the pity party for her “loss.” It also kind of astonished me that Andrew got so mad at her that he said without the baby he didn’t know where their relationship stood. It was fine when Henry said that because well Bridget let him go, but Andrew cannot base his marriage on a baby. I also wish we got an update on Siobhans pregnancy. Is she going to tell Tyler that he is the father of the baby to keep him around now. I mean she is screwed. Now that he broke up with her she has nowhere to stay and no money. She should have probably did a background check to see who he worked for. When I saw Andrew calling Tyler and inviting him to New York to offer him a position I was like things are about to get insane!!!! Then Bridget wanted to join in for the dinner but Andrew was mad  at her so he kind of ignored her. I assumed they were in the clear but then Bridget surprised them all by showing up for the company dinner. This was good for Andrew and her relationship with her husband but really bad for the real Siobhan. Its also hilarious that she introduced herself as Siobhan cause then when he called to break up with the real one he called her by her real name. It all came full circle. My question still remains- when he leaned over and asked why she introduced herself to him as Cora before, wouldn’t Bridget be like wait… he thinks he’s seen me before oh my god is my twin alive? He basically handed that one to her!
 Malcolm is addicted to drugs again. It is really painful to watch, especially when they show flashbacks of his time in AA and how good he was doing without it. When Bridget gave him that wad of money I knew it was going to go downhill from there. When I saw him shooting up the heroine I almost couldn’t watch! Cops found him shortly and he was interrogated by agent Machado who is very persistent on finding Bridget. He put “Siobhan” in a weird place because when she went to meet Malcolm to finally talk he had her wired in listening devices to see if Malcolm would say anything about her whereabouts. She had to pray to God that Malcolm would play along with her “I am Siobhan” story. Her note to him on the waiters menu was awesomely clever. I feel bad for the guy though. He, unlike Bridget cannot start over and hide behind someone else’s life. He has no one, cannot trust anyone, is on the run, and a relapsed addict. He turns to Shiv for help who obviously gives it to him but how long can she help him before it becomes suspicious, Andrew becomes jealous, and everyone finds out who she really is. As much as it pains me to say this, Malcolm is actually posing a threat to Bridget by staying with her.
 There are good changes happening with Juliet (so I guess taking her trust fund away keeps her from buying so many drugs) but then she goes and pulls a move on her teacher. Although yes I called that this would be a teacher-student affair I never wanted her to make a move on him first. That is wrong on so many levels and can cause a lot of mayhem if caught or reported. Usually with situations like this it is the teacher making the move on the student so I guess it is a new and interesting change to the story. I wonder if the teacher really “doesn’t like her like that” or if he is just trying to be professional about it. Will he cave? I assume he will and that mean bully girl will walk in on it and try to sabotage them both? Something along those lines.

Other Thoughts
-      When will Bridget realize Charlie is playing her? Brining Malcolm to Charlie’s house was probably the worst idea she could have had. Does he want him dead? Is Siobhan trying to kill everyone off? Why? What is her end goal?
-      Where is Macawi? Is he secretly spying on all of them?
-      How will Siobhan get out of this mess? She doesn’t have a hit man in Paris so it will be harder to get rid of (her bf).
-      I wish they would show more scenes including Siobhan so I could better get a feel for her.
-      These people really need to learn to not talk about secrets and important matters out in the open.
-      Will Bridget stay with Andrew or come clean because she is in love with Malcolm? His jealous was very clear this episode.
