Read Full Recap » (warning: possible spoilers!)Very exciting episode. hide show
"You Don't Know Jack" refers to scandalous action movie actor, Jack Dawson. The reason the title is the way it is, is because something very private about Jack Dawson is going to be revealed by Lucy Spiller with help from brother, Leo Spiller and good friend, Don.
Julia continues to take drugs from Garbo, causing her to break-down in one of Holt's photo shoots. Leo catches Jack with another man and comes to Lucy to expose him. Lucy and Holt have some sparks flying when they have a talk over dinner. Don stays committed to Lucy and does the job at any cost. Brent sells out and Tyreese looses his career.
Julia has been stressed out ever since her friend Kira died. She has been involved with Garbo, a dealer, ever since. She decides to visit Holt in one of his photo shoots where she breaks down after Holt refuses to make love with her. Julia is starting to annoy me, but it was still a very solid plot overall.
Leo has previously been dating Jack Dawson. When Leo goes to Jack's house one day, he catches Jack with another man. Leo turns to Lucy in hopes to get revenge on Jack. Lucy seeks Don to do the mission with help from Leo. Don goes to the extreme to make sure the story is published. This plot was the climax of the episode, it was very thrilling and exciting.
When Lucy finds out that she is going to be able to bring down action star Jack Dawson, she decides to give Holt a heads up, since now he has a huge chance to be America's next big action star. The message wasn't the only thing sent during their dinner, sparks have been going around with those two since they started talking. Their relationship looks very interesting and I'm looking forward to it.
Previously on Dirt, Tweetie threatens Brent when he finds out that people are being suspicious about Tweetie killing Andre G. Lucy knows nothing about the situation and put the pictures of Andre G's head on the cover of the previous issue of Dirt Now magazine. Tweetie is back in this episode looking to seek revenge. Brent sells out and tells Tweetie that Prince Tyreese was the one who gave Lucy the heads up. Tweetie then goes to Tyreese and ruins his career.
Overall it was a very solid episode, nothing too interesting, but it wasn't boring at the same time, so it was a pretty well written episode.
Lucy is still the best character on the show, and every scene she's in sparkles with a mix of both sexuality and danger, especially in her scenes with Holt in this episode. They've began a strange flirty relationship with each other, and the conversation they have about Lucy "eating the week" and tasting delicious was really creepy. As much as I love Lucy, you can't help but hate her too for literally how evil she is. But it's campy evil, which is always the best kind.
The Jack Dawson storyline continues, but I was a little disappointed that he was outed so soon. Maybe if we had gotten a little more insight into his relationship with Leo, then it might have worked better. But to see Jack's career ruined by the Spiller's doesn't have the effect it could have had if their relationship had been given more depth.
Wayne Brady makes a great cameo performance, and whoever decided to cast him as a psycho penis-remover deserves some kind of award. It's also great to see Lucy get some kind of comeuppance for her manipulation of Prince Tyreese. It was always a dangerous story to get involved with, and it was refreshing to see her lose in the end, and realize she had made a mistake.
Meanwhile, Willa continues to impress. Though it was slightly spoiled by Alex Breckenridge's squeaky voice, her conversation on the phone at the end was enough to surprise both the audience and Lucy, who saw her in a completely new light after realizing she does indeed have the "stones" for the job.
Another great episode, You Don't Know Jack featured a great mix of suspense and comedy, and the scenes involving Wayne Brady made for some seriously bizarre TV.

TV.com, correct your guest-star credits! Tweety McDaniel is played by BILLY BROWN from last season's NBC/Bruckheimer drama "E-Ring" starring Dennis Hopper.
Tweety McDaniel is NOT played by Wayne Brady. Tweety's magnetic performance left me and my girlfriends begging our flat screen for more. I know it sounds corny but me and the girls in my sorority want MORE Tweety. He's kind of a hottie. What's he like when he's not taking care of bizness? What's he look like out of those suits? If I was Lucy...I mean now that's a true power couple! We hope they bring him back! Please!?! There's just something about him...very manly. Hey Rick Fox is a hottie too. And this is a little embarrassing, but to be honest none of my girls or I have ever dated a black guy. But after witnessing Tweety's confidence, charm, charisma and strong hands...WOW! Who knows?!
Go Bruins hoops!!!
What a great episode!! I knew we'll end up with Leo exposing his affair with Jack, but I did not expect this, and boy was I sure they lost the pictures when they caught Don!! The pschyzo is brilliant!! Swallowing the film? awsome! hide show
I found the parts with Lucy's boss funny, specially when these guys wanted to cook his intimate part. I mean that was HILARIOUS! I just love this show!
So glad Lucy and what's his name (the cute actor) are getting closer. It's time she'll have a real man instead of her toy.
GET WAYNE BRADY ON THE SHOW! hide show
This was a great episode, especially watching Wayne Brady being ruthless. We all knew he could by the singy goody goody guy that America watched on Drew Carey's show, but watching him in other roles in Chappelle's Show (The best episode ever!), Crossover, and now Dirt. Rick Fox is convincing as the pretty boy basketball player, Prince Tyrese, but having him receiving anal sex could be changed. There are other creative ways to blackmail him. And there are too many gross out scenes. We don't need to see oral sex scenes that are so graphic. Please, it is not needed for the show.
