The Night, and the Comedy

[moviesfilmsreviewsinc · 10/10 · 15 August 2022]

Episode 8 of Loot Season 1 begins with Molly and Jean-Pierre out on a date, and he gifts her with one of her favorite things: a KitKat. He asks her about her family, whom she doesn't get to see very often, although they don't live too far from her. Molly later asks Howard about their family, particularly cousin Renee, who hasn't spoken to her since Molly missed her wedding. Howard tells her it would be great if she stopped by family Spades Night in order to reconnect. If the writers think Molly is supposed to be more endearing to us because of her love of KitKats and microwave burritos, they have wildly miscalculated how her character comes across. This episode alone shows that Molly can still get out of everything for having had a terrible husband. She simply didn't have to do the work to get Renee back as a friend. As for the other significant plot line, I'm afraid the sad puppy dog persona is not a good look on Arthur. This storyline tries to set him up as a sympathetic, deserving guy. But he's done nothing at all to try to win Molly's affections yet. He has only bemoaned (without evidence) the assumption that Molly will not choose him because he is a "nice guy." Sofia gets a delivery of flowers, and Nicholas and Arthur read the card. "To my dearest, Fifi," it says. "I crave your touch." Sofia suddenly snatches the flowers from them, yelling to the sender on the phone that he's going to have to do better. Arthur and Nicholas spy as a man named Tony shows up to Sofia's office. They stop Sofia as she leaves the office to ask her what's going on. She confesses that there are two men in her life. Tony, a thoughtful lawyer. Then there's Jaylin, who brought the flowers. He keeps her on her toes, but he's unreliable. Molly gets Renee a new table as a gift after she complained about her old one. But Renee doesn't take it well, accusing her of trying to buy her with her money. She asks why Molly skipped her wedding for a vacation and sent her a fancy gift to make up for it. She then calls off Spades night. Howard stands up for Molly to Renee, but Molly says Renee is right. She shouldn't have missed the wedding, and she did try to buy her. But she didn't ditch her for a vacation.
