Cashmere Mafia: Stay With Me (Episode 5)

Finally! Juliet decides to divorce Davis, but only after he drains their mutual funds some more (still can't believe he's in charge of their money) and Emily acts out, posting "provocative" pictures of herself with her school's flag on-line. Too bad the hotshot divorce attorney Zoe's lined up has already been retained by Davis. While it looks like Juliet may be losing more than her husband in the split, at least Emily wants to stay with her. Instead of going to boarding school, Emily looks public school-bound, to escape the rumors about her father's philandering and sleazy come-ons from, of all people, Cilla Grey's son Brian. I'm sure we'll be meeting him soon enough.

Speaking of younger men, Zoe's "manny" Adam makes a most favorable impression on Mia, who's feeling the heat at work in the guise of a frustrated Clive (wife is out of town) and an intense Jason (who doesn't date casually -- surgeons are funny like that). She makes an excuse to see Adam at work, reviewing his portfolio and getting key feedback from her art departments. In turn, he flirts with her, gives her a back rub (!), and almost convinces her to sleep with him (Eric and Zoe are not at home -- more on that in a minute) but alas, Zoe busts them, and Mia contritely promises not to do it again.

Zoe's got a 10th anniversary, a packed schedule (when are their schedules not packed?), and Nicholas her work husband in from Zurich. The mild flirtation enjoyed over years of video conferences go nowhere in person, though Zoe is working long hours with Nicholas on her anniversary night. She decides that she misses the young girlfriend Eric used to know, so she and Eric get around to screwing for their anniversary after all.

You know who else has been getting bouncy with a guy? Caitlin. After Alicia tells her that she's actually three months pregnant, Caitlin panics and goes to dinner with Sam. Sam, when he is not picking up psedu-lesbians at lesbian bridal showers, is a playwright, and a namedropping one at that. Dinner is cut short when Sam sees the producer he's been avoiding, and Caitlin sees that the producer is having dinner with a lady (wife?) and Alicia! They scamper out, drunkenly, for the aforementioned fucking, but weren't so subtle in their escape. Alicia busts her the next day at lunch, and it's not that she hates Caitlin for sleeping with a guy. It's that she lied about it, and clearly can't trust her. What?

Poll: Biggest fashion fuck-up?

I hate this show

But now there's no gossip girl or dirty sexy money, it's all I've got, sniff! That and Masterpiece Theater.

I hear you

There's Lipstick Jungle, which is awful, but I will watch because I love Andrew McCarthy. Brothers & Sisters, which I could never get into. Nip/Tuck, which is super-trashy but hella fun.

I'm thinking of going retro and just buying "Popular" on DVD -- that show is hilarious.
