could it get more darling?

Or less darling as it turns out… since we were finally ready for the other shoe to drop on the unknown paternity of the kids on Dirty Sexy Money. And yes of course the brattiest, spoiledest, and the one who hates Nick the most, is in fact his brother. Brother Father Brian isn’t a Darling.

This wasn’t his only shock as the custody hearing for his own son went quickly, since he was arrested for attempted bribery. Out on bail, Brother Father is given a 6 month suspension. Infidelity and bribery don’t look that good to the parish and though he’s given a track back to god, is that the right path for him? So who does he turn to for guidance after much prayer? Apparently God told him to go work for Tripp. And to get out of that stuffy Father collar. Does this mean I can’t call him Brother Father and I have to remember his name?

Politico brother Patrick wraps up his stay in the hospital and apparently wifey wants to withdraw her arrangement for his seeing Carmelita. Either mistress or career. So he told her it would be career, but of course he told Carmelita he couldn’t give her up. Now he and wifey are getting back on track, and Carmelita thinks she’s being followed. And perhaps she was, because while the driver had her under surveillance for Pat she disappeared. And Patty seems broken up about it, or does he?

And Jeremy’s attempt to be a normal boyfriend led him to turn to Mrs. Nick. When she turned down his request to use their apartment as his ‘poor’ shack he rented a studio that he had a decorator trash appropriately. But alas the new gal doesn’t mind that he’s poor, just that he has no goals, which is in fact the case. But rather than show her the real, real him, he’s keeping the lie alive and borrowed some nudes from Mrs. Nick’s gallery to pretend to be a starving artist. Too bad the new ladyfriend wants him to paint her now. When he finally comes clean she’s of course livid about his lying.

And when Mrs. Nick gets a taste of what it’s really like to get caught up in the Darling schemes by trying to get the artist to help Jeremy out, she ends up smoking pot and having him kiss her. Of course she told Jeremy not to do it again… (she loves Nick and is way too old for him, but then again so is the woman he’s trying to woo). And she got fired for making the art smell like pot. When she and Nick talked, apparently the solution to being unemployed is to have another kid. I don’t get it, but they’re both thrilled.

And what of Miss Juliet the lovely who in real life has been spending time in outpatient rehab… well apparently her not being on the show was written in by her being on Karen’s honeymoon. And she brought back a boy toy. And as he agrees to stay indefinitely, and not to be taken care of, she agrees that he should be her first. Lest we forget she’s a virgin. I don’t get it, he doesn’t seem that hot or charismatic, but whatever.

And when Nick confided that Simon Elder’s latest request was for family financial records, Tripp agreed to supply them, or at least some sort of them. Tripp then got on the phone to a mysterious recipient to have them find out what Elder was after. Could Karen, who is now sleeping with Elder, be doing it under the guise of surveillance, or is that vice versa? Well yes, but their agreement is that she not get emotionally involved and she seems to be slipping when Elder introduces him to his ex, who he is still close with, and she ‘approves’ (yeah I didn’t quite get it), Karen got all choked up…

And we got to get a glimpse of Nick’s dad Dutch in a flashback… with the role cast does that mean we’re ready for him to not really be dead? Did we find a body in the watery crash? I think not. We should have three more episodes left, but as they sprinkle the repeats you can catch the pilot this Wednesday to get introduced, or reintroduced, to the characters properly.
