Ringer: Malcolm In The Middle!
So let’s talk about “Ringer” shall we. This is still my guilty pleasure show of the season . . . well actually “GCB” will probably replace it to be honest. But I have enjoyed “Ringer” much more than I have “Revenge.” Both are good, I just like Ringer a litte more. It’s campy fun. The ratings, however, aren’t so good. As of yet nobody knows if it will get a second season, some are doubtful.
In the previous episode we learned that Juliette’s mom was behind the entire rape/teacher scheme to get millions out of Andrew. Wow, not only did she steal from her ex, but her own daughter! Even Juliette doesn’t know what her mother did (stealing the money from the teacher and Juliette’s friend). I have to believe this will come to light at some point. My guess is this would make a good Season 2 story, and thus we may not see it again until then . . . if there is a season 2.
Bridget, with Malcolm’s help, learned of the ponzi scheme at Andrew’s company. They thought it was Andrew’s crooked female partner, but in fact Andrew knew of it all along as he had to make back some money he lost, or something, While Malcolm was fired for finding out about it, they learned it was Tyler who was the real mole (but didn’t know he was leaking the info to Siobhan, the real one). By the end of the episode Bridget found Tyler (who was back in NY) dead in his hotel room . . . and it looks like Andrew’s partner may have taken him out. However we didn’t see who did it, and with this show they like to pull one over on us a lot of the time.
Siobhan got rid of Malcolm, by making a phony call to him and pretending to be her sister. She told him how happy she was, how he was ruining everything, yada yada. She wanted him out of the way . . . so they he wouldn’t save her sister from a murderous Andrew! This only made him more insistant on getting Bridget away from this double life she’d been living, and he phoned Detective Machada (sp?) and said he’d testify against the drug lord/strip club owner. The show ended, however, with Andrew turning up at Malcolm’s doorstep with a fire in his eyes!
While I’m loving all the twists and turns, at the same time I want to pull my hair out. Nobody talks to one another on this show, if they did they’d figure out Siobhan has been pulling all the strings with everyone! I am on pins and needles just waiting for the moment Henry learns that it was Siobhan who set Gemma up to be killed. Oh and the fact that her unborn twins are most likely Andrews? Henry is going to flip on her so fast!
Something tells me the end of the season will see one of the main men, either Henry or Andrew dead, but then we’ll also learn they have a secret twin . . . or maybe Gemma did?
