‘Ladies of London’ Recap Episode 6: ‘Not So Fair Ladies’

Since this episode didn’t start with a lesson about English culture, I thought I’d offer you one of my own. She is about to race to Africa for aid when Maika visits Emma’s London residence to drop off a care package worth 10 thousand. Teeth (Fleetwood Mac’s second best album) We see a brief shot of the top of Emma’s window, with what looks like a vine growing there. I feel like the editors want us to think that maybe her house is falling apart, as if the outside is trying to get in or vines are growing through the crumbling infrastructure. This is absolutely not happening and I recognized this phenomenon immediately because it happens in my house.

Here in Britain almost no one has air conditioning. Even when you go to the movies in the summer, there’s no icy blast of cool air that Americans of all kinds are familiar with. This isn’t really a big deal since there are usually only two weeks of summer when you will use it. It is definitely hot and to combat the heat everyone keeps their windows open practically the entire summer. Given this, it’s absolutely baffling that no buildings in this country have screened windows, not even those little windows you can buy all over New York City, where they expand to fit your window and you just close the casing over them. The only place in England where I’ve ever seen screened windows is Buckingham Palace and that’s why we need to destroy gatekeeping.

Due to open windows and lack of screens, flies are buzzing in every house from June to September, the insects landing when we try to eat on the TV screen. love islandAnd is surrounded on the outside by anything old, including vines on the outside of many buildings. I have a gorgeous wisteria at home that grows out the front, and its tendrils often reach into open windows and then, if I get a chance to close the window (like frequent rain) it traps the vines inside, so it feels like I’m living in some kind of disorganized tree-house. Emma’s been through enough — running in the heat, a cyst on her pituitary gland, Myka visiting with thoughtful gifts — that we don’t need to make fun of her inner gardening.

While no one except me is fascinated by indoor vines (or how I’m going to become a billionaire by selling screen windows from Cornwall to Coventry), I think we were all extremely fascinated when Margo invites a pet mental patient over to Martha’s to talk to her pet magpie Hecate. When Shannon Beador talked to a pet psychiatrist about Archie (who we all love) I thought it was stupid, but talking to a pet psychiatrist Bird? Oh is it Pinky and the Brain-Level talent. Jackie, the “animal communicator” arrives and says that Hecate thinks she is bossy and owns Martha, which seems completely accurate from everyone’s outside assessment of the situation. Hackett says she wants the world to know that magpies just want to eat and play and are not malicious or unlucky. We don’t get any confirmation as to whether Hecate is the reincarnation of Martha’s mother (evidence is that she likes wine, loves men and is a drama queen – honestly, same sister) but Hecate makes peace with Margo, who is suspicious of her intentions, by giving her a chip and placing her warm paws on Margo’s soft arm.

Before the big party, there isn’t much drama. Myka launches her etiquette on YouTube, Lottie goes to see her son’s willie on an ultrasound, and Mrs. Margo comes to meet Margo’s teenage stepsons with her large bosom fully exposed. I mean, those bubbles are moving and moving in the air. Mise arrives, hugs the boys, compliments their chains, and then watches them walk away with a stack of books covering their waists as if they were in middle school. wait. They are in middle school. Now that Misse and Kimi have made up, her whole story in this episode is that she can’t keep her breasts in their clothes. Doesn’t gratuitous nudity usually fall into Margo’s bag? At the park, Mrs. Margo tells Margo that she has made up with Kimmy and she will let things rest, but she also says that Mark has been talking nonsense about Margo’s clothes and her behavior behind her back. She shares that she heard that Mark always looked up to Emma because his parents disowned him. yawn.

That doesn’t mean Mark isn’t annoying. He does this kind of funny, snarky, can’t-be-taken-seriously Oscar Wilde thing, where everything is supposed to be a withering comment and nothing can be remotely honest. (He apparently lives in Wilde’s old townhouse and may be haunted by his ghost.) I find it entertaining to watch on television, but that must make for a very tiresome dude. For example, he goes to Martha my Fair Lady party in a park and says he finds the topics “tedious” and that Martha can set one up, but she is “under no obligation to comply.” Instead, he is seen in a bright yellow safari jacket, looking nothing like the man in the yellow hat. curious GeorgeThis is how Margo describes him, and like Colonel Mustard on his first visit to Provincetown.

Everything goes well with Kimi, Margo, Mark and Martha at this party. Margo got the memo and is wearing a white dress, a giant feathered jacket that’s actually quite eye-catching, and a pair of white cowboy boots that Kimmy will want to set on fire. When Margo comes to greet Mark he says, “The bird has landed!” And tells her that she is looking very nice. In his confessional he says that he always compliments everyone and he doesn’t really mean it. This is what I am talking about. If you don’t stand for something you don’t stand for something and Mark, well, I don’t think he even stands for taking off his underwear. When Margo tried to talk to him about things he said, such as his choice of clothes, he did not deny it, but said, “There was a momentary conversation about a crushed velvet jumpsuit.”

It gets worse when Kimmy, whom Margo had previously avoided, arrives in a small hat with a veil that makes her look like a villain in a Dickens novel. Amy Sherman-Palladino will spend a year Gilmore Girls remains to achieve this. Mark says that he told everyone earlier that Margo was accepting the moment she became an actress, which means she is faking it. Kimi stepped in and clarified that she didn’t say that, she called him fake. I’m sure Mark is giddy with that help. Mark then attacks Margo, saying that she must have a little poison in her mind to wear these birds, that she looks like Cruella De Vil, and “At least these birds didn’t die in vain.”

Margo calls it a “posh putdown”, an insult that is not intended to sound like an insult. I think it’s something worse. There’s a definitely teasing nature to British humor, which Lisa Vanderpump couldn’t explain to her American counterparts when she used it against them. However, there is a difference between teasing someone and insulting them in front of them, then laughing to pretend it’s a joke. Mark is doing the latter and Kimi is supporting him. Margo doesn’t know how to fight it and just walks away. There is only one way to stop someone like this and that is to insult them in front of them and then laugh. Margo already ruined her line about the Man in the Yellow Hat.

Kimmy tries to take Margo aside for a conversation, but the conversation ends before it even begins with Kimmy yelling about what a deceitful, terrible friend Margo is and how Martha will hate her when she finds out how fake she is. Oh, and she hates her shoes. Take that. Oh, and she’s fake and from LA, get that too! In the end, Margo fights back and makes fun of Kimi’s English accent and says she sounds like the guy from the Monopoly board. That’s Mister Monopoly for you, Margo.

Kimmy then starts yelling at Martha asking why she isn’t defending her in front of Margo. Martha’s answer is as wonderful as it is honest, “Because you’re a mental bitch. I love you for that, but you are.” She then says that his behavior towards Mise in the car was unacceptable and she stands her ground, firmly putting her friend in her place. This is the most we’ve seen Martha stand up to anyone and, honestly, it’s freaking me out a little bit.

When Kimi runs to join the rest of the group sitting on a bench under a tree, Martha tells her to stop attacking everyone and tries to console her. Kimmy tells Martha how much she loves her, how she only attended the party to be close to her and that she sees her as a sister. She even starts crying a little and Mise sticks her breasts out in excitement that Kimi is finally showing some emotion. Martha says she loves Kimmy, but she’s a psychotic bitch. “I know I am, but I can’t help it,” says Kimi. And above their heads, high up in the tree, a creature sits, tucking them in, wondering what she can do, how she can curse these particular women (and Mark) or feed them or play with them. She wants to do something, speak out, bring their energies together and unite them. But she can’t. Hecate’s medium is not there. Instead she goes cawing back to Martha’s house and makes a mess on the picnic table on her way out.
