OBS Staff member Tori has brought us this week’s R&R of ‘Eastwick’
Season 1 Episode 5: ’MOONIN AND CROONIN’
This episode opens as the girls are having dinner with Daryl. Joanna is complaining about everything in particular how Will has completely ignored her for the last two weeks. Their table is getting dirty looks as they are being rather loud and obnoxious. Daryl begins to tell the girls the story of how every decade there is a return of the Luna Solvo, a moon that releases ones inner animal and inner hedonist. He tells them that the moon is imminent. Sounds like a party Maryann from true blood might want to throw!!
Switch to Roxie’s daughter Mia talking on Skype to Josh, Chad’s younger brother. (Surprise)
Joanna’s boss threatens her with relegation to the obit page if she doesn’t write another front page story. Kelly dares her to write about Daryl.
Daryl and Cat have lunch together where Cat reads him her “bucket list”. Things she wants to do now that she is almost single. He begins to play the piano hoping she will sing while he plays since being a lounge singer is one of the things on her list.
Chad and Roxie go back to her house to hmmm…..Later in the evening Roxie and Chad are testing her precognitive talents with a deck of playing cards and she sees the huge moon. Her talent becomes “unleashed” and she has a vision of Mia.
Joanna writes the story about Daryl not being who he says he is and gives it to her editor. Meanwhile he is pantless and everyone in the office is going nuts. She and Kelly share a passionate kiss!! (Hysterical)
The moon is making everyone powerful and crazy and there is dancing in the streets.
Meanwhile back at Daryl’s cafe, a gorgeous Cat in a slinky red dress arrives and starts to sing a lovely rendition of “Spooky”. The flames on the tables burn higher and higher while she sings. Outside Roxie and Chad start making love in an alley up against a brick wall. They get arrested for indecent exposure. Later Mia and Josh are also arrested and thrown in the same cell.
The Eastwick Inn catches fire after Roxie’s song. (Puts a whole different meaning to torch singer, doesn’t it?) After the fire is out Will sees Roxie and they get hot together. The next morning she lies to Joanna about being with anyone.
Hightailing it to the office, Joanna finds Daryl and Clyde furious at her about the story. Daryl tells her it is all lies and that he was in Viesbaden, Germany in 1984 and that it was his cousin who died. Clyde fires her. Daryl reams her a new one.
This episode ends with Roxie and Mia home from the jailhouse having breakfast. They reach a compromise. Roxie flashes to a cemetery where she and Mia are at a funeral but she doesn’t know who is in the casket.
Loved Cat’s singing in this episode and it is great that Roxie’s abilities seem to be becoming stronger. I wish we could see them use their powers more. So there is something about a witch burning next week…..
Stay tuned every week to OBS for your weekly Recap & Review of ‘Eastwick’!!
So what is Joanna going to do for a living now? Who is in the casket? Are Cat and Will going to have a relationship?
