So some good stuff on this week’s “Eastwick,” yet at the same time I wanted to scream as well. First a recap then some thoughts.

First up, Joanna was all ready for her date with Will when her ex-fiance who dropped her at the altar showed up. This guy treated her like crap, so what does she do when he says he’s sorry and made a mistake? She sleeps with him and stands up Will. Only after did she bother to use her truth powers on him to get him tell her why he left her, basically he got to the point where he couldn’t stand her. The next day she told him off in front of the whole office, thinking he just can’t commit to a woman and runs when it gets too hard (he was in town to get married again). While she told him off, Will learned what happened the night before (when she stood him up) and wanted nothing to do with her anymore. Oops!

Kat panicked, thinking Raymond kidnapped the kids. He just took them out for the morning, and brought them back with a dog. However he issued the threat he could take them out again and never come back. She called Daryl’s lawyer, who of course was a sexy hot mama. They began legal proceedings, but by the end of the show agreed to call off the lawyers and settling this rationally. Kat however said the marriage was over, she has changed and can’t go back.

The real story in this episode was with Roxanne and Jamie, the Irish writer living upstairs who she keeps dreaming is going to kidnap and kill her. She saw him outside Daryl’s place taking photos of the mansion. Later she broke in and found a book in his place, a book with the same symbol she saw as a brand on him in her visions. She stole it and showed it to Kat and Joanna. Kat said Bun had been scribbling the same symbol at the hospital, while Joanna said she saw it an the house of a crazy lady outside of town (part of the older Daryl triad of women).

Later Roxanne learned Jamie was desperate to find the book, it was left to him by his real mother. He admitted he was adopted, and came to Eastwick not only to write about witchcraft, but to find his mother. She also found photos of Daryl at his place, so she realized he was spying on them earlier. Later Bun, out of the hospital but with amnesia, saw the book at Roxanne’s and said it was her book. Roxanne realized she was Jamie’s mother. She confirmed this later when she saw Jamie and told Roxanne she knew that boy somehow, she thinks she held him in her arms at the hospital after he was born. Roxanne promised to help Bun get her memory back.

At the end of the show Joanna’s assistant at the paper (Sara Rue’s character) went to see Jamie. She said she has been pushing Joanna to go ahead with the story on Daryl/Sebastian. Jamie is her mole and has been feeding her info . . . and they are having a love affair!

My Thoughts

So I just have a bad feeling about Kat and Raymond. He either will steal the kids, or he’ll meet a suspicious end and go missing on his own, leaving Kat to look like the big suspect.

Joanna just infuriated me this entire episode. OMG, how could she have used her powers after blowing off Will and sleeping with the guy. Couldn’t you have asked him that question the minute you saw him? I’d like to feel sorry for her, but I don’t. I feel bad for Will!

I loved the twist with Sara Rue’s character and Jamie. Is she going to be a bad girl then, or is he just using her? I just love seeing Sarah Rue on TV again. I’ve loved her since “Popular.”

Speaking of Jamie, I think we have Daryl’s first spawn on the show!
