Solid start to the second half

Please don't cancel MP! Even though only 1.19 people watched this week's episode, it's only getting better from here. With the two weakest actors gone, we've cut the less necessary scenes. The murder is wrapped, eve though it was solved in not an amazing way, and now we have different things to focus on.

The Jonah/Riley/Ella triangle: Pick Ella! R&J were a boring couple and Riley was better off stirring up trouble with Auggie and it was more entertaining. Violet and Auggie leave: I'm glad Violet's gone. I miss Sydney and this is all that's left of her, but it shouldn't have been creepy Violet who's acting is sub-par. David/Lauren: Yay! These two work really well together. I love how the two of them stand up for each other. Amanda/Ben/Ella: This was interesting, but i hope MP 2.0 doesn't become all about Amanda because even though she is supposed to be bringing in rating, the show is about the new tenants, but she's doing a good job. Will we see more of Ben? I wouldn't mind, but i don't think he makes on impact on the show. Wait.. isn't Amanda married to Peter Burns? I'm not quite sure because i'm not done watching the original show.

Is it possible Ella is Amanda's daughter? Hopefully more people will tune in next week.moreless

Love triangles and such.

7.8

By Canogaparkcindy, Mar 11, 2010

I gotta say, this comeback did come with a lot of boring scenes, but other than that, it was pretty eventful. David comes one step closer on embarking on Lauren's secret. After beating up her client. Lauren is starting the relationship on lies so that's not good. Meanwhile, the morning after Jonah & Ella sleep together. Riley begs for Jonah's forgiveness and doesn't know whether to tell her about Ella. Ella fears it was a one night stand, while walking on eggshells around Amanda. Jonah ends up telling Riley in the end, and Ella is mad at him. So now Jonah is staying with David. Auggie continues to drink and Violet helps him out, then they leave town. Cutting off two of the main characters is not a good idea, writers. Good episode, hope Jonah ends up with Ella. She's so happy around him, it's great.moreless

ADD QUOTES
- Ella: (after Amanda sees her with Ben, trying on the necklace) I promise you that you can trust me.
  Amanda: Ella, in what universe would you think for one moment that I was threatened by you?
  Ella: I wasn't implying...
  Amanda: You were, and it's presumptuous. I mean, you're a junior publicist with a barely-there career, a nobody in this town.
  Ella: I know...I'm sorry.
  Amanda: You may fancy yourself my protégé, but let's be honest, you don't measure up. I mean, you have enough flash to catch the eye of Ben or any other man for that matter. But they don't stay long, do they?
  Ella: I, I wasn't trying to...
  Amanda: Oh, come on. No one wears a dress that short without an end game.
  EDIT SHARE
- Ella: (sees a tequila bottle on Auggie's table) Auggie, sweetheart, please tell me you did not hit this.
  Auggie: I was trying out a new recipe, rock shrimp with a tequila lime sauce.
  Ella: Oh really? Does that dish come with a side of total B.S.?
  EDIT SHARE
- Ella: (to Auggie) I think I spotted a guillotine in Amanda's penthouse. Watching heads roll is probably up there with snuffing out careers and Tasering her enemies' nether-regions.
  Ben: (walks up behind Ella) I hear she bathes in the blood of virgins and could kill a man with her pinky finger.
  EDIT SHARE
- (Ella offers to let Auggie work as the chef for Amanda's party)
  Auggie: Ella, thank you. You have no idea how much I need this gig.
  Ella: Oh please, it's the least I can do. Especially after believing you were a knife-wielding lady killer gone AWOL.
  EDIT SHARE
- David: (visiting Lauren in the hospital) Is the part of your training, finding out what it's like to almost die?
  Lauren: If it is, I think I flunked.
