- "Ringer" - "A Whole New Kind of Bitch" - Oct. 11, 2011
It's ultimatums, double crosses, NA meetings, and drug-induced torture on "Ringer" this week!
Following Bridget-As-Siobhan's revelation to Gemma last week that she is in fact Bridget and did not sleep with her husband, Gemma stormed out of the Hamptons not believing BAS's story. Later looking at some old video from a party Gemma notices two things: a secret glance between Siobhan and Henry and a burn on Siobhan's arm. After frantically trying to get in touch with her Gemma finds BAS and they talk. She looks at her arm and sees that Bridget does not have the burn and is telling the truth. She is flabbergasted by the news and also that her friend is dead. (Or at least presumed as such.) Bridget begs Gemma not to tell but Gemma points out that she doesn't have to do anything Bridget wants her to since she is, in fact, a complete stranger to her.
Later, she gives Bridget an ultimatum. She wants to divorce Henry but she wants to make sure he doesn't get a dime of her money or custody of the kids. Henry and Gemma have an infidelity clause in their pre-nup. She wants Bridget to meet Henry and sleep with him so that she can walk in on them and thereby have irrefutable proof of his infidelity.
Bridget is torn. She goes to an NA meeting in Brooklyn and meets a fellow addict in recovery named Charlie. When she can't get in touch with Malcolm -- who is still being tortured by being shot up with drugs by Macawi in the strip club -- she reaches out to Charlie. Without explaining the details she explains she is being asked to do something she knows is wrong that will ruin several families, make it impossible to live with herself, and likely cause a relapse.
She goes to Gemma -- who had come by the apartment with "news," which turned out that she was no longer overseeing Henry and Siobhan's loft renovation -- and tells her she can't do it. Gemma says she has no choice. If Bridget doesn't sleep with Henry she will tell Andrew and Agent Machado who she really is. Bridget must sleep with Henry by midnight. Bridget goes to Henry -- who has gotten more bad news from publishers about his book -- and tells him Gemma knows about them and about the trap she wanted to set for the two of them and tells him to go home and fall in love with his wife again and protect his family. Henry says he can't do this, he loves Siobhan. She tells him to take care of it.
All the while this is happening Andrew's bratty daughter Juliet is having a meltdown. When BAS and Andrew returned from the Hamptons the word "Whore" has been scrawled across Siobhan's big photo and Juliet has had a house-trashing party with her equally spoiled friends. Andrew tries to confront her but she resists. BAS says she wants to help and ransacks Juliet's room looking for drugs. Instead she finds a matchbook from a bar. Andrew says he'll handle it.
When Juliet goes on another rampage and ruins Siobhan's closet, including her wedding dress, she finds her NA pamphlet. She follows BAS to the meeting and sees her talking to Charlie. At dinner he reveals this but thinks it's because Siobhan wants to put her in rehab and BAS claims she was doing "research" into addiction. Later, Andrew "handles" it by telling Juliet he is sending her to -- the horror -- public school away from her bad influence friends. Juliet freaks and tells him this is all Siobhan's fault, it's not about drugs. She calls Siobhan a cheating, manipulative bitch who sleeps with married men. Later she freaks and sneaks out. Andrew tells BAS that Juliet told her she knows about the cheating . . . that they did together when he was still married to Juliet's mom. That's what she meant and is upset about. They track her down at the bar from the matchbook. BAS apologizes for the cheating and wrecking Juliet's home. She says if Juliet needs to hate her she understands but to stop hurting herself and her father. Later, they clean off Siobhan's picture together.
But first Bridget and Gemma meet and she says she couldn't do it. Gemma says she will expose her. Bridget begs her not to and mentions how fragile Andrew and Juliet are. Gemma can't believe that she's using Juliet as a crutch for her self-serving needs. Bridget gives an unconvincing speech about what a crappy person Siobhan was and how she's trying to fix things and that maybe one of those things can be this friendship, maybe she can be a better friend than Siobhan was. Apparently, this is enough for Gemma who exhales and says it's crazy but maybe she'll give it a try.
Later, however, Henry, in a drunken rage calls Gemma and says Siobhan told him everything about her trap and she will not get what she wants -- the kids, her money -- etc. Gemma can't believe Bridget ratted her out. She calls Andrew in a panic asking him to meet her and that it's an emergency. At this point they're at the club with Juliet so BAS takes Juliet home and Andrew goes to Henry and Gemma's. He is met at the door by a furtive Henry who says everything is fine, Gemma's not home and maybe she called Andrew from the office. Andrew says he'd like to come in and wait but Henry begs off saying he has some work to take care of. He shuts the door and we see that there was a struggle, there is a broken lamp on the floor, and blood on the wall. Apparently, he took care of it.
