High Desert (TV Series) I'm Getting Close to This Guru Bastard (2023) User Reviews

Peggy is hoot

[moviesfilmsreviewsinc · 10/10 · 21 June 2023]

High Desert is a light-hearted dramedy with understated elements of surrealism, but Dennie's early release is an emotional maelstrom that will be difficult to deal with. Patricia Arquette has managed to hold her own and be convincing as a recovering drug addict, but something gives way for Dennie and brings a different kind of challenge. There is something lost in the translation between Dianne and Peggy from the pages, and Peggy's interactions with Ginger in this episode did not live up to expectations. Bob reaches the hospital with his severed nipple and collapses on the floor. Peggy wakes up from her summer in her dilapidated car and drives off in it with the top removed. When she arrives at Roslyn's house, she finds Dianne with a realtor, Chris Cooly. Peggy tells Dianne about the progress she is making as a PI and appeals to her to get her a new car. Dianne agrees but also asks Peggy to respect the house belongs to all the siblings. Carol and Cooper find out that Bob's wife, Donatella, has been missing and has a $70,000 reward on her. Peggy takes the information to Bruce, who is shocked to see the junk of a car Peggy is driving. Bruce explains that Donatella does not want to be found and that the reward no longer exists. Carol also sees Roslyn boarding the same truck from the same stop and phones Peggy, who is buying a new car and requests Carol to follow the bus. She is able to catch up and boards the bus to sit next to her. Peggy is charmed by a doppelganger with a striking resemblance to her mother, who is an actress. Carol encourages Peggy to write a play around the woman and vent her life problems to make a fortune. The hospital calls Peggy to come in and hand over the heavily drugged Bob to Peggy. Peggy takes Bob back home and gets his signature on a cheque for $4000, enough to cover Tammy's expenses and Owen's loss. Owen agrees to a sitdown with Bruce after resisting giving the security contract to Bruce's firm. The doppelganger's name is Ginger Fox and Peggy has already finished writing the play. Owen sees the hoardings for the play and asks Peggy about her plans. Peggy pitches the play as a "heart-wrenching drama" and "a fully professional production." Dianne is surprised to see Ginger but her reaction is not as strong as expected. Carol shows Peggy Bob's meltdown on national television. Owen is arrested for cashing a fake cheque and Peggy bails him out, but he fires her. Peggy goes to Bob's that night and they discuss selling one of Bob's precious paintings. Peggy thinks she can help him but asks for a hefty commission and to drop the charges against Owen. Owen writes Peggy the cheque and it turns out that the thugs are following Bob. Dianne informs Peggy that Dennie has been released from jail and they will be divorced by default in 11 days. Thugs take Bob's expensive G-Wagon as Peggy arrives home to Dennie wearing her nightie, with the intent to stay there.
