SVU #16: The Other Woman

May 27, 2013 23:34

The Other Woman has already been done, but I can't not recap this. I can't not. It's impossible for me to not. This was my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE book in the SVU series when I was a kid, because A) Jessica has sex, which I always thought was scandalous whenever it happened; 2) Elizabeth's reporting puts her in danger; and 3) because Bruce and Lila.

:D Yay for recapping of this trilogy! I LOVED the Weasel Code!

Also agree with you about Winston's disproportionate punishment. I quite liked that plot up until the army bit, and then it was all like *record scratch*.

To this day, I can't believe that Winston's dad would do that to him. SV characters have terrible parents/Uncle Dans.

Pah, I agree Uncle Dan is clearly NOT Bruce's real uncle. He is just drafted in for this book. At least Winston's parents definitely exist (assuming he didn't spring fully formed from a rock or something).

Alison Quinn flirts with him, and he changes the subject by suggesting she ask Jessica about "the essay I assigned her." You mean the one in your pants, Professor Skeevy? Is that really a breakfast topic?
Bwahahaha! This recap is amazing.

Jess puts her big shiny lady-balls on and tells Liz that it's stupid the way she and Tom believe they're the only two people capable of true love, and treat everyone else's relationships as superficial crushes.
Go Jess! And how the hell is it any of Elizabeth's business, anyway? And even if it is short-lived, a) there's nothing wrong with that and b) at least they're not cheating on anyone, ELIZABETH. I don't know where the HELL she gets off thinking she's in a position to judge anybody else's romantic habits.

Todd demands to know why such a great athlete had such an out-of-character slump last season.
Maybe his girlfriend went into a coma and morphed into her diametrically opposite twin sister?

"he didn't want to foul up a relationship with her by making her part of a threesome with Elizabeth." ( ... )

No, but Elizabeth only cheats because it's TRUE LOVE! God, you just don't understand because you've never been in TRUE LOVE before.

Like Elizabeth would ever have a threesome.
Or a twosome.

You can just tell that guy wants to make Jessica into a lamp and/or wear her skin like pajamas and use her skull as a candy dish (authentic Halloween decorations FTW!!).

I only ever use my human skull bowls for when guests come over. For everyday use, I prefer the cat ones.

Hahahaha, oh, thank you for this epic recap. It was brilliant!

(I'm so glad you keep pointing out the Tom and Todd moments, too. They were all through these books, even when Tom was away from Sweet Valley! How did my Teen!Self miss this?!)

The D Plot: Lila and Bruce, aka Why We Love Sweet Valley University

Exactly. That was the only reason I stuck with this trainwreck. Well, more accurately, the only thing I loved about SVU. (The rest was morbid fascination!)

Seriously. Just when you think they're done doing awesome shit (naked fishing), they do MORE awesome shit (donut shop).
