RECAP: Rizzoli & Isles 1x06 I Kissed A Girl

Aug 23, 2010 18:39

I already blogged about this episode on my TV Whoring blog but I decided to do a proper recap because
1) it's so gay that a detailed blow-by-blow is required
2) I cannot stop flailing over it (or Dr Isles, more specifically)
3) derealizeddream made approximately ten thousand glorious gifs that had to be split into two posts. EPIC OR EPIC?!

So I'm celebrating her Massive Gifspam of Gay™ (this term applies to every episode she gifs, actually) with this post. Every gif used was made by her, so go worship at her feet NAO.

Late recap is late, but there can never be too many recaps of this episode, y/y? Said late recap also has gifs, which is reason enough to CLICK ON THE CUT, right? And it's an excuse to relive all the glorious hoyayness in gif form. In case you haven't realised already, it's going to be LONG & GIF-HEAVY.

The episode opens with some chick getting murdered. MOVING ON... Yoga class! JANE. JANE RIZZOLI. SPORTS BRA. ABBBBBBBBBS.

Look at Maura, all zen and poised. 


Too bad Sasha's bb bump means she has to be covered up. (BUT SHE CAN STILL WEAR A CORSET. I LIKE THE WAY THIS WOMAN THINKS.)

So, Jane and Maura are being all coupley and talkative and not practising their yoga properly. Then the murdered chick demands her awesome detectorial skillz so Jane gets girlfriendy and does this "Come on, Maura!" thing and they hustle off to the crime scene. In those yoga outfits.

Namaste. HOW. CUTE?!


"I like men." lol sure, Jane. If you say so. Frost doesn't believe you either.


Blah blah detectorial work blah blah.. OMFG TWISTTTTTTTT! VICTIM = LESBIAN! ELLEN/PORTIA WEDDING PIC!


(pic links to AfterEllen's recap!)
The grieving widow is none other than Mary Alice Young Brenda Strong! (Speaking of DH, I know the timelines don't match, but I'm suddenly liking the idea of Mary Alice/Katherine. Oh, Katherine...how I miss you and your stripper girlfriend!)

Um, Jane, why are you caressing her hand?


Maura is so literal. That way you'll know she means it when she says something, Jane.

Jane barters sex a date with Jorge for a COD and throws in a spot of lash-batting because she knows her girlfriend can't resist those dark peepers.


"I'm going to have so much fun on my couch. Alone."


THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.
Blah blah they do some boring crime-solving activities like interview a balding guy with a ratty greasy ponytail who hates fags or something. Case, what case?

Double-date? LOL OK. If by that you mean Jane/Maura and Jorge/Yoga Instructor. Maura gets a neck kiss from Yoga Instructor but she looks like she would rather be jumping Jane's bones in the ladies' room.

Jorge looks so interested.


"You know, I think I need to use the ladies' room. Jane, will you join me?"


Subtext: "ME. YOU. QUICKIE."
THAT WAS SO ~SUBTLE BY MAURA. Yes, it's time to be assertive, Dr Isles! (Speaking of being assertive, I totally had a [PG-13, but barely] dream of Jane/Maura and now I'm convinced that Maura is the top.)

Jane obviously cannot wait.


Maura: Well, do you like him?
Jane: He's sexy.
Maura: Yeah, I think you should take him home.
Jane: Maura!
Maura: What? You said he was sexy.
Jane: Well, just because I like the way he looks in yoga class doesn't mean I'm gonna like the way he looks in my bed.
Maura: Right. But did you know that sex releases haemoglobin A? It wards off colds.
Jane: No. Not tonight…and I didn't shave my legs.
Maura (pulls out shaving kit): Nice try.
Jane: What kind of person are you?


If Maura brings a shaving kit with her everywhere she goes, one wonders what other miscellaneous gadgets she keeps in that handbag.

Back at Jane's, Joe Friday is adorable and is, in fact, a girl doggie. I just found out, okay. Don't judge. (The pink leash tipped me off. And uh, the usage of the female pronoun. THEY NEED TO HAVE MORE JOE FRIDAY IN THIS SHOW.) Jane finds out that Jorge is a male nurse and that she is totally more butch than him.

Jane confronts Maura about hooking her up with a lactation specialist orthopedic nurse. Isn't it cute that they both arrived at work at the same time? Maura also tells a cute story about how she lied that she did her homework when she actually didn't and then immediately went vasovagal. Dr Isles, your honesty and propensity for big words is so endearing.

Jane is judging me for not knowing that her dog is female.

 (Wait, is it Joe or Jo Friday? Josephine "Joe" Friday?)

Jane swaggers around her department and gets flowers from her male nurse!

Korsak (singing): Somebody's got a boyfriend~
Jane (singing): Someone should mind his own business~ 


Korsak: Your eyes are like pools of midnight!
Jane: No! Come on...!
Frost: Your lips are like Tempur-Pedic pillows!


Korsak agrees that Jorge sounds sissy, but then the Jane's-boyfriend discussion gets cut short by this thing called an ongoing criminal investigation. Is this really still a crime show?

Roy the scary black bouncer is no match for Bruce Frost!


TWISTTTTTTTT! The killer's a woman!

Maura: Injuries are consistent with a non-biological phallus-shaped object.
Jane (under her breath): You mean a dildo?


Like you would be unfamiliar with that, Ms Fun-On-My-Couch-Alone.

Chocolate makes people happier, says Dr Isles. And it so happens to be an aphrodisiac too, just like the oysters Maura had in Money For Nothing, and the copious amounts of wine that they consume together on their coupley nights in. Are we going to see chocolate-dipped strawberries next? With gold flakes?

Jane: Maybe if I get fat he'll stop calling.

Comtemplating going to such extreme measures just to get a man off her back... If I didn't know better, I'd say she was g- Wait.

Maura says some unintentionally-unflattering things about Jane and is rewarded with her girlfriend's offended eyebrows.

Heh, awkward!Maura. Fudge clusters!


Korsak: Got Mel's scorecard for the night of the murder. She's a hell of a bowler, she had a turkey.
Maura: Why would she do that?
Jane: That's three strikes in a row, Maura. 


FUDGE CLUSTERS! Really yummy.


TWISTTTTTTTT! The victim was cheating on her wife! There's not much difference between cheating straight couples and cheating gay couples, Korsak.

Korsak and Frost have a brainwave! But Jane doesn't want to GO UNDERCOVER TO TROLL FOR LESBIAN DATES ON THE RANDOM CHANCE THAT THEY'LL CATCH A KILLER! Korsak and Frost think that she secretly likes the idea. And so do we. As in, think that she secretly likes the idea. And also the idea it- OK.

Maura's setting up a profile for Jane on a lesbian dating website, because that's typically in the job scope of an ME. Korsak proclaims that Jane is "fine", which draws judgey glances from both Dr Isles and Det. Frost.

Maura: Okay. I just have to check a box. So, "femme", "butch", "lipstick", "chapstick", "sporty".
Frost: I've seen her break a chair over the head of a meth-crazed gangbanger.
Maura: So, "butch"?
Frost: Yeah. I mean, she took him out.

Korsak makes another inappropriate comment and Frost does this:


I like you a lot, Barry.

Chez Jane - Our favourite couple flops onto Jane's big cosy bed with glasses of red wine and Joe Friday. 


Maura: Nice and supportive doesn't mean weak.
Jane: Please, Jorge is more submissive than my dog. 


Jane likes her other half dominant. This totally supports my top!Maura theory.

Jane: Maybe I should be a lesbian.
Maura: Aw, well, wishes can come true.

Maura tells Jane about the dating profile. Jane calls Maura 'Dr Isles'. I swoon a little. She wants Dr Isles to go with her to Merch. But of course. Because whose magnificent rack would we appreciate if Dr Isles didn't tag along and be all helpful in a polka-dot corset? Oh, sorry, getting a bit ahead of things...

Oh get off it, Angie Harmon. As if you didn't know all these women find you hot. And I can tell them apart now, but I still think Angie Harmon = a more intense Tina Fey. Am I the only one who sees it?



Jane reads a few corny lines off someone's profile in her bedroom voice, and Maura responds to that by putting away the laptop and getting ready for bed.

Maura: I wonder what kind of women we would like, if we liked women.
Jane: What? Well, first of all, I would be the guy.
Maura: That's a cliché! Why would you be the guy?
Jane: Because!
Maura: Because you're bossy?
Jane: So are you.
Maura: No, I'm not.
Jane: Yes, you are. You're just soft and polite when you're bossing people around.
Maura: Well, it's a good thing you're not my type.
Jane: What do you mean I'm not your type? That is so rude!
Maura: Well, you don't know how to relax. And you wear your shoes and your clothes to bed. And you just admitted you're bossy.
Jane: Yeah, I'm bossy. You put my picture and profile on a gay dating site and I'm bossy. Right. After I said no by the way - what are you doing?
Maura: Meditating. It's too stressful to argue with you. 


Aww, the way they glance back and forth at each other. And meditating!Maura is so adorable.

"(Ho)yayyyyyyyy."


Jane: What are you doing here?
Maura: I guess I fell asleep while I was meditating. 


LAME, MAURA. LAME.

Bleary-eyed, sleepy Jane is qt.


I actually heard her two neck cricks


Maura: Well, maybe we should take a look and see if anybody else signed up to hook into you.
Jane: That's not how you say it. It's 'hook up with you'.
Maura: Whatever. 


Jane checks her email and finds a zillion from Jorge. Clingy much, male nurse?

Jane: He's so nice, god!
Maura: Maybe that's what you need. You need somebody loving and supportive.
Jane: Like a hamster.
 

LIKE MAURA, SILLY.

"If I wanted someone to walk the dog with me and talk about my feelings I'd be gay."
 

WHO WANTS TO BET THAT WE'LL SEE JANE AND MAURA WALKING JOE FRIDAY TOGETHER IN AN UPCOMING EPISODE? I'm sure the writers will do that just to mess with us.

Maura: Uh-oh.
Jane: What?
Maura: Now I understand why you always look like this.
Jane: Excuse me?


Silly Maura. Jane's sartorial choices are limited because 80% of the wardrobe budget goes to yours! And anyway, we don't really want to see Detective Rizzoli flouncing around in haute couture, do we? T-shirts and tank tops and more tank tops are good enough. Or sports bras, too. Not picky.

Maura (holds up dress): This is completely appropriate.
Jane: Hmm. It's perfect. But where exactly am I going to hide the camera and the wire? I know! In my thong. 


Maura is :( that Jane doesn't want her fashion advice.


Jane: Maura, we all love the fact that you dress like you're about to strut down a Paris runway. It's- it's interesting.
Frost: It's endearing.
Korsak: Sexy. 


FASHION IS SRSBZNS TO DR ISLES, OK? I dunno what else to say here because earnest!Maura is being so crazy cute and my brain isn't functioning anymore >_<

"I cannot wait to see what you're going to wear."
 

Detective Rizzoli shows off her abs while she puts on her wire and Violet Beauregarde's mother the lesbian bartender flirts with her. Three kids and those abs. Ridiculous, Harmon.

DR ISLES. DR ISLES. DR ISLES. DR ISLES. DR ISLES. ASGDFHGJHKFHJFDGSHJGKHLJ;LHKHG

Jane doesn't want lesbians to perv over her girlfriend's marvellous assets. ISN'T THAT SWEET?


Jane's first suitor asks her about her coming-out story, but thankfully Jane doesn't need to cook one up because waitress!Maura sashays up to her table and gives Jane (and us) an eyeful.

Subtlety, Jane, ur doin it wrong.


Dr Isles bags and tags Jane's suitors' empty glasses for DNA, remains smoking hot in polka-dot corset while doing so. Meanwhile, Jane is awkward.

"Smart, tough and complicated."


"My hands are sore from volleyball."


We get an almost identical shot of the bagging and tagging, which is actually just an excuse for viewers to ogle Dr Isles again. Thank you.

Korsak: Rizzoli's good at this.
Frost: At what, being a lesbian?

One of Jane's suitors leaves her number and cops a feel of her thigh. Just as Jane is getting tired of this going-undercover-to-troll-for-lesbian-dates-on-the-random-chance-that-they-catch-a-killer thing, INCOMINGGGG! An attractive red herring sits down and we see Jane do her lash-batting thing again.

"Hi, I'm Jane."


Frost: She is creeping me out.
Korsak: Rizzoli?
Frost: No, the other one.

GASP - attractive red herring was the victim's last date!

Great Lesbian Night Out is over, and we see Detective Rizzoli and Dr Isles back in their usual attire at work. Pity, I really liked the polka-dot corset. They're discussing the case and words like 'diabetes' and 'insulin' come up but, like, I don't really care about the case.

Jane: What if-
Maura: I don't like sentences that begin with 'what if'.
Jane: Let's assume-
Maura: Why is that better?

Jane goes back to Merch, flirts with Violet Beauregarde's mother and gets a sloppy kiss on the neck.

"Could you swab my neck for DNA?"


TWISTTTTTTTT! The victim wasn't cheating on Mary Alice Young, Mary Alice Young was cheating on the victim with Violet Beauregarde's mother and is actually the murderer! GASP. OK, moving on...

Back to yoga class! Jorge assumes that Jane is gay and that somehow leads to some very cute pushing and shoving between Jane and Maura, which ends the episode. (Then this totally happened.)



So no one actually kissed a girl in this episode, but it was gay enough. No way they can top this...right? Again, credit for all the gifs go to derealizeddream! I don't think I used even half of her gifspam; that's how many she made. Her masterlist is here, for all your R&I gif needs. SIGH, Jane/Maura...NEVER CHANGE, MY NEW FAVOURITE OTP.

recap, rizzoli & isles, pimpage
