"I was like, ‘Yeah! I got a war wound!’"
Guess whose phone goes "It's like a lobster trap, but in reverse" when a text message is received. kayryn is awesome. That is all.
Anyway. It's almost criminal how poorly I've treated Hospital Central lately, my dear source of Spanish fangirly crack. As in, 18x02 was one of the best episodes in a long, long time and I've failed to gush about it until now (if only there were 25 hours in a day). Honestly, I actually shed a tear during it, which never happens. Also, the level of eye!candy is through the roof. Oh, yes.
Is there any doubt that Maca & Esther belong together? No. And after this episode, I was even more convinced that their love is of the eternal kind, because damn. Basically, it was 70 minutes of Esther begging Maca to tell her what happened with Bea (she doesn't remember, with the amnesia and all) and Maca pigheadedly refusing to do so. And when the latter finally gave in, something magical transpired. *happy sigh*
So. At first I need to comment on Esther's new look which is fabulous. I'm loving the short hair, it suits her perfectly.
Also, the writers are currently writing great stuff for Esther, and Fátima is doing a marvellous job portraying the character. The whole amnesia kerfuffle doesn't feel nearly as ridiculous as I thought it would.
But anyway. 18x02. Maca was, unsurprisingly, as hot as ever. She totally rocks the design clothes and the doctor's coat, and she does so while coming across gayer than Ellen DeGeneres.
If I needed to choose between Patricia Vico and Paget Brewster (oh, shush!), I really don't know what I would do. Unfortunately, this will never be a dilemma I need to face. Ahem.
Anyway.
Because Maca isn't terribly forthcoming with answers, Esther decides to go to Bea's funeral. Maca finds out, is nothing short of pissed off ("joder" has never sounded as sexy), and goes off to look for her. She finds Esther at the cemetery where Bea's husband is manhandling her. Cue to: Maca to the rescue!
It's totally hot how she pushes the husband away from Esther, because no one touches her wife and gets away with it. Rawr.
Sexy and oh, so very gay. My God. Such a 'knight in a shining armour' moment.
The couple then sit in the middle of the cemetery, doing what lesbians do best: processing. Maca does this while sat in a ridiculously butchy way. I mean...UNF.
Yet again, Esther wants to know what happened, but Maca doesn't yield. They drive back to the hospital, both sulking.
But sweet Jesus, the last scene. I got all tearful, I really did. Esther has a nightmare and wakes up screaming. Maca's by her side in an instant (I refuse to acknowledge how convenient it is that she just happens to be right there when Esther wakes up), which is terribly sweet in itself.
But then. This time, Esther demands to know what happened, because she knows Maca was there, and she won't be able to live without knowing. Maca finally gives in and tells her the whole story; how she shouldn't have yelled Esther's name (I applaud Maca for realising that, because stupid!), how Bea got all nervous because of it and pulled Esther over the edge with her. To Esther, knowing that it wasn't her fault means everything. The dialogue is brilliant, but it's the non-verbal things which truly get to me. Every. single. time.
I love the way Maca squeezes her eyes shut, and how they simply hold on to each other as if their lives depended on it. Hands down, one of the best scenes of this show EVER.
Oh, how happy this show makes me.
Such perfection. ♥
And speaking of perfection, the new Paget Brewster interview in New York Post shows, yet again, how wonderful a person she is. The way she appreciates being on the show makes me even more happier for her, for finally finding a show that is nothing if not successful. "They gave me three panes of glass. I was able to do it three times and I loved it. I kept rewinding on my TiVo, like, 'Yeah, I look kind of cool!'". Yes, you did. You so totally did.
Finally, because Paget is the most perfect woman on the planet, I need to link to another interview. Because she is amazing.
Her New Zealand accent? Teh hotness. *fans self* Is it any wonder Emily is a language geek? Also, finding out more about her illegal house improvements = priceless. "Are you going to be wearing leather?" Paget, marry me.
