It is most definitely not what I needed in this critical post-Thanksgiving/pre-holiday time.
It is as awful as you imagine.
Oh, little do they know.
… its pretty grim.
The misogyny is palpable, even if it is papered over with smiles and polite laughter.
Yes, people love ol Mitch.
They laugh when he makes jokes about Alex needing to wear sexier clothes or wanting to see Allison naked.
But Alex tells him she isnt stupid, and neither are we.
Speaking of festering, how about that conversation between Mitch and his pal Dick Lundy?
You remember Dick, right?
Yeah, that guy.
Oh, the poetic justice, friends.
Anyway, those two dudes can go stuff it in Mitchs cake.
This is also very much Hannahs story.
Shes a go-getter, he notes.
But theres more than ambition to Hannah.
Chip congratulating Hannah on Mitch wanting her might make your skin crawl, reader beware!!!
Shes upset and Mitch is kind and empathetic and self-deprecating.
Not only is he comforting, but hes an extremely powerful, intimidating superior of hers at work.
Hannah is frozen in fear, in shock, in disbelief that this is happening to her.
Shes unable to speak, and eventually, Mitch walks her over to his bed.
The woman is scared.
And then shes angry.
As if he hardly knows her.
Something breaks in Hannah and she immediately hops on the elevator and marches into Fred Micklands office.
And here is the real kick in the pants: She doesnt need to say it.
Fred knows exactly why shes here, because clearly, this isnt the first time.
she asks, in tears.
In conclusion: Mitch Kessler sucks big time.
This Just In!
Yanko really stood no chance here.
Alex doesnt come out of this flashback smelling like roses, either.
When Chip tells her hes moving Mia to her team, she is vehemently opposed.
She doesnt want Mitchs leftovers, she tells him.
Neither of them would want to do this without the other by their side, they say.
They are a part of each other.
Im sorry, Mitchs wife would bring him coffee at 3:30 a.m. each morning?
She shouldve divorced for that alone.
Let the woman sleep!
