"'It was all a dream'? That's
the stupidest idea I've ever heard! *long, thoughtful pause* Shall it be your dream
or mine?"
-Hilary (Melinda Mullins)
in "Who's Scott Sherwood?"
Now, an editorial on the ep that brought tears to my
eyes and torture to my impatient mind....
Quick Summary:
Scott Sherwood (Kevin O'Rourke),
on August 30th (now you'll never forget either when this ep was or when
Princess Di died -- double whammy *sniff*), got hit hard when Mr. Pruitt
(Jonathan Freeman) returned with his secretary to let Scott know that
he was getting a surprise... audit. Betty (Amanda Naughton) wasn't planning
on helping Scott
out, due to the fact that she knew Scott had lied about knowing Victor (John
Bedford Lloyd), but
the rest of the crew was. After putting a "the end" in their morning programs,
the crew was surprised by Scott telling them that they needed to quit it --
because he was leaving to California. When he spoke with Betty, she showed
him two documents with Victor's signature (supposedly) on them -- the inscription
in the book of limericks and the letter of recommendation, both delivered by Scott
in "A Capital Idea". When Betty noted that both signatures were identical, something
too rare, Scott hit her with a lie about forging the signature in the book. After
Betty apologized and Scott started to leave, though, his guilt hit him and he returned
admitting what had really happened -- he was "just a guy in a bar". Betty, enraged,
slaps Scott and tells him off. Scott asks Betty if he gets any points for honesty, at
which she admits that he did, "but not many," then Scott asks if he got enough for a
goodbye kiss. She says no way, but as he starts to leave he turns around and kisses
her. Then, with a sad look on his face, he goes, leaving Betty wistful and confused.
*sniff* WAHH!!
Okay, maybe it's a Scott fan thing. Maybe it's
a Kevin O'Rourke fan thing. Maybe it's just an overall RW fan thing. But 95%+
of the viewing public was screaming and/or in tears after that episode (just ask
Linda). With Victor
fans almost as shocked as we were when Victor kissed Betty (although several Victor
fans were cheering on Scott a half-hour after "Who's Scott Sherwood?" aired, or at
least feeling pity for him), and Scott fans more in shock than anyone else, the RW
chat that night was hard to follow and we got little sleep due to anxiety. If the
spoilers on the AMC WENN Homepage for
the new episodes are true, then we can't expect Scott at WENN for at least five
weeks. Nor can we expect many hours of sleep. *sigh*
As
Josh pointed out, two of the first three episodes were bombshells (and 14 to go) -- whoever first
said "Two out of three ain't bad" didn't know what he was talking about.
You know, Rupert Holmes would be getting threats right now if he wasn't such a genius, in writing and
and cliffhangers (don't we all know).... =)
