Second look at Episode 16: “4 A.M. Miracle”
I watched “4 A.M. Miracle,” and honestly, if they hadn’t already used up the “Matt sees an imaginary person” plot last week, I’d totally have thought the eerily in-the-know lawyer lady was a chemical trick of Matt’s brain. Well, that and the fact that she was also seen or known about by Danny, Suzanne, and Jordan. In this place, though, you can’t rule out mass psychosis.
Danny and Jordan continue to be crazy about each other, anyway, and I’m happy to see that Jordan is no longer checking sight lines before smooching. The fake baby subplot was a little silly, maybe, but I loved it for the way it showed the affection between Danny and Jordan, the obliviousness of Tom and Simon, and Cal’s sort of heedless enthusiasm (and way with a practical joke).
I’m glad we seem to be coming to an end of the Harriet-Luke movie shooting and relationship skirting, because I find both Luke and his movie sort of intolerable. Sure, it’s not cool for Harriet to keep working out her Matt issues in front of him, but making everybody keep working just to get back at her? Not cool either. Especially for that poor guy who had to keep shooting himself in the head. At any rate, it was nice to have her back at the Studio at the end, back upstairs, back to being Matt’s muse, and appropriately remorseful.
Once again, no Jack, but no Hallie either, so I’ll accept that compromise. Maybe they both actually go home at night.
Come back tomorrow for a full recap of “4 A.M. Miracle.”
